[XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency

[Hueristic]

The Ophion trading platform will utilize the OPH colored coin.
In order to obtain the coin you must join the crowdsale, as the rest of the coins will be burned after the crowdsale ends.

Hate ICO (too many scams) why not lose the IPO and get crowdfunded and use XMR? No need for yet another coin.

...

This is not a coin and wont use any coloured coin, the whole point of us moving to monero. We are planning on utilizing this.

There is a set asset of 8,000,000 OPH for ICO, Any OPH assets that have not been purchased will be destroyed by sending to an impossible address which will be made public.

AFAIK colored coins are on the NXT platform, are you saying you are using tokens?  If you are not using a colored coin then you need to change that wording on your website.

AFA the bolded, that is very ambiguous statement please clarify it.

Sorry monero noob here.  I'm worried I sent coins to an old fork and lost money.  Is the latest version of MoneroX safe to use?

I should've tested with a smaller amount but I sent 118 XMR to an address it controls but still don't see it.  I assume it is because the blockchain is taking forever to sync.  Still only on block 40000 and have been running this for a while now.  Something else weird keeps happening.  Keeps jumping back to 37921

I think this is the txid even tho it shows way more than 118.

Does this mean we are on block 1049316?  This is taking FOREVER to sync.  It's so slow.  Is there a different way to grab the whole blockchain?  The blockchain.bin that I have is already 5.7GB

[1] MoneroX isn't maintained anymore and it's generally advised against using it. Better to use the binaries available on the website, see:

https://getmonero.org/downloads/

[2] I am not sure which version MoneroX uses, but I think it is the version without the database, which takes up a lot of RAM and takes a lot of time to sync. Therefore, I'd advise to download the latest binaries from the site and sync that. There is a linux guide here on how to set it up, for Windows it's pretty similiar:

https://github.com/monero-project/monero-site/blob/master/knowledge-base/user-guides/create_wallet.md

[3] Make sure to backup the .keys file and the mnemonic seed (the words), if you have that you can always restore your wallet or open your wallet with simplewallet (the official wallet).

It's unlikely your funds are lost. I'd advise to first try and sync with the official binaries (bitmonerod.exe (the daemon)). Alternatively, you could try importing the .raw blockchain available on the website, see instructions here:

https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/releases

Under "Updating: Blockchain Conversion"

It shows more than 118 XMR because that is how Monero works.

Thanks for the quick reply.  I'm syncing with v0.9.4 right now and will let that run today.  It's definitely going faster.

I created a password for my old MoneroX but I have no clue where it placed the wallet.dat
This is why I'm thinking I lost money.  I don't see no .keys, they have to be generated somewhere.  It created an address for me.

Do you recall your wallet name? If so, just search your computer for it, it must be somewhere. I think MoneroX placed the wallet files in the same directory as MoneroX itself is located. Bear in mind no such thing as wallet.dat exists for Monero. The file you need to look for is <your_wallet_name>.keys. Thus, if your wallet was called testwallet, search for testwallet.keys. Perhaps searching for just .keys file will also yield the wanted result.

Which operating system are you using btw?

This is why I'm concerned, it never asked to make a name.  It just asked to make a password.  It wasn't seed words.

I'm running windows 7

goto my computer
double click on your C drive
in the top right, there will be a little field that says "Search Local Disk"
click in there and type
*.keys
and then hit enter

this will find you keys file

Okay cool, I did find something.

account.bin = 39MB
account.bin.address.txt (has the address file I sent to)
account.bin.keys (1kb)

Hopefully I can import that last one in...

After bitmonerod.exe is fully synced* place those files in the same directory simplewallet.exe is in. It should be able to recognize your wallet.

You can check if you are fully synced by entering the following command into the daemon:

"diff" ("status" would also work)

This will give you the blockheight you are on. This blockheight should be equal to the height shown on moneroblocks.info. Bear in mind that you have to use the same password to open the wallet.

Thanks for your help.  I was hoping to come home last night to a full sync.  Still going on almost exactly 24 hours later.  Almost 9GB blockchain file so far.

I'm getting a lot of "unknown top block" errors now or something near the end.  And sometimes it says I am x days ahead?

You are very close. "unknown top block" isn't an error, it's a message. Don't worry about the ones that say you are ahead, those are from an old peer (it got blocked in your case right after).

Would anyone like to help manage/escrow something I'm trying to do on here?  It's a lot simpler if I send you a pm of what I'm trying to do, so if you are interested, I'll send you the OP text to see if you would be interested rather than me trying to explain it here... it's gambling related

All he had to do was answer some simple questions but he decided to avoid them so I am calling him out on them. I do want it to be a real project but the more he posts the less I believe. I hope I am wrong but in this scene it's better to be safe than scammed.

EDIT:

ALL he had to do was answer the questions and instead he locked the thread and ran away. It looks like he was just a thief.

Dear all Ophion Investors and Members,

Due to legendary idiot member Hueristic (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=198573), We are having a hard time continuing developement or getting interested parties involved with development. We have now just lost one of the exchanges because of his messages. He is ruining what Ophion could be for you.

Ophion is to be developed by 2 people I know well and have worked with (Still in discussion about payment) But our communication is good. We can continue this project but I really dont know how much we can make from it now as a bit of fud like this can turn people off.

Hueristic is throwing accusation at everyone and everything and lying himself to make our project look bad. We dont know what his problem is. We have no other choice but to stop the project. We are unable to fully pay everyone back due to the fact we have used funds for Marketing (Community Manager, Sig Campaign), Servers, Developers, Translators and more. But we can pay back what we can.

If you are out of pocket, This is Hueristic's fault, not ours. we only wanted to make a good project for the community, but I guess that is not possible with such trolls. I am out of pocket myself also.

Regards,

Sebastian Bates

BTW Sebastian it's not FUD if you cannot dispute it.

Just got home from work and still not done 36 hours later.  it won't stop grabbing from the same crappy IP addresses.

This is so slow.  Can I just close and shut this down?  start again without losing progress?

EDIT: I think it finished a few hours ago...

WOW.. lol, that venture sure was quick yikes...

That really doesn't make any sense though... "...This is Hueristic's fault..." wtf? Pretty sad when you have to shut down your project and steal peoples coins because one person didn't agree with you on some things. Jesus...

I was really looking forward to see if that project would have worked too...

sigh...I hope I didn't lose the funds.  I think everything is synced so I did what u said and put the files in there.  It does show the address that MoneroX created, but it says zero balance.  It should say 118 XMR

* jwinterm nominates phishead to work on the decentralized marketplace utilizing the tx extra field.

I nominate anyone to work on a marketplace that does not spam the blockchain with bloat that will quickly become entirely irrelevant (and indeed is irrelevant at birth to many users) but if stored on chain will need to be retained and passed around by every full node (including users who want full privacy) for as long as Monero exists. Yes, work on a marketplace if that interests you but there are better models. For example, p2pool's share chain is a better model for a decentralized system with secured data that has only short term relevance.

In fact I would contribute to funding for this, but not to something that bloats the Monero main chain.

Sorry for being dense, I'm used to having a GUI.

You need to start simplewallet and tell it to use account.bin, either as a command line option or from the terminal interface. Assuming you got that done right, make sure you try to type 'refresh' without quotes into simplewallet while daemon is running and synced.

Edit: sorry, didn't look at picture. It says your daemon isn't running or not synced. You can also launch simplewallet with a remote node. See this:
