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

[c789]

Hey there it is my pc or the bitmonerod is too expensive in terms of resources?
It made my pc lag as hell, everything was freezed and took ages to get unstuck, I am on linux and i5 processor, so that looks weird to me.
Or it is only the blockchain download that makes it so laggy?

Are you using the latest version (0.9.4)? Older versions (I believe < 0.9) consumed lots of memory.

If you have a rotary disk drive,  your HD will have a lot of I/O during the downloading of the blockchain and this can slow the computer down. This happens with Bitcoin and other coins and it's not something unique to Monero. If you have a SSD the process is much quicker and your computer's lag will be much less noticeable. In any case, assuming you're on 0.9.1 or greater, your computer's speed will return to normal after the blockchain has synced.

Thank you for your response.
I am sure on the latest version. Good to know the only syncing process can slow down a PC hd drive. But I never faced such lag with bitcoin core or any other alt wallet client. Yes, all the syncing processes took time, but they never made my PC unusable. At less not from my experience.
Don't take it as a critique please.

Impressive.  Perhaps we should show them a little extra volume love...

I believe linux monero simplewallet should ask for a password confirmation when creating a wallet. It's not that hard to make a typo on a linux console!

yeah the lack of that is very frustrating.

I suspect the hard drive. I have no problems running Monero on a computer with a rotary hard drive provided it is one of the larger ones. I run Monero on an 8 year old computer with a 2 TB rotary hard drive without any problems. I suspect one can go down to 1 TB or even 500 GB on a rotary hard drive and still be ok; however I have not tested this.

Something that lightwallet actually has that simplewallet does not

Shocking!

Here's the relevant part from the logs:

<fluffypony> ok next, moneromooo do you feel like giving an update on RingCT? looks like it's making nice headway
<moneromooo> It kinda works. I'm fixing bugs now.

I'll PR the logs to the website tomorrow.

It's pretty comical to say something that is so simple such as "It kinda works" to describe what's going on that is so complex and difficult to comprehend what is actually going on.

Code:

Error: refresh failed: no connection to daemon. Please make sure daemon is running.. Blocks received: 0

I get this error when trying to run a refresh on a new wallet. My daemon is running and fully synced. I can open other wallets and use them without error, just not a new one. Any ideas?

does monero have any slack#?

[GingerAle]

does monero have any slack#?

no. #IRC serves exactly the same purpose, and doesn't limit your user numbers or messages and then hold your data ransom for fees. slack is a scam.  

If you don't want to use an IRC client, you can use a web client like kiwi

https://kiwiirc.com/client

just enter #monero (for general monero chat) or #monero-dev (for more technical stuff). There are other channels as well.
