Hello new monero family please can you tell me your opinion on this: http://www.apricorn.com/products/hardware-encrypted-drives/aegis-secure-key-3-0.html  

I will make for installing my MONERO WALLET here.... then I will lock this device away. - water proof and many good features

Really cool but it might still be better to go with a trezor unless you are knowledgable on how to and prepared to

a) produce a freshly formatted linux box

b) manually prepare a signed transaction offline

c) transport the signed transaction to an online machine and broacast

d) format and scrub the memory on the linux box

Yes this is overkill security. But so is the thing you liked so I assume you are into overkill security.

But i mean dont let me stop you. That thing looks awesome. Just thinking a trezor might be easier is all.

Trezor support XMR? - Is waterproof (device i link is water resistant)? - does show you your "secret phrase"? on trezor screen? how to recover lost moneros on trezor.

Simple miner --help returns:

Allowed options:

What do I do if I don't want to use a pool?

You do need to store a paper backup. Maybe that defeats the purpose for you. It is generally not advised to store private keys exclusively on digital media though. Due to bit-rot.

If you are really adversed to storing on paper media tough than maybe this devise is perfect and better for your needs than trezor. I mostly just wanted to make you aware of the monero trezor project since it seemed close enough to what you were talking about that you might be interested.

Do not use simpleminer, it is obsolete.
For solo mining, use bitmonerod: start_mining ADDRESS THREADS
Replace ADDRESS with your address, and try several THREADS values from 1 up.

If you want to solo GPU mine, I think you can with a newer (git) daemon, but I don't know the specifics.

I have a question and I am a little concerned about it. When I downloaded the Monero Core for Windows 64bit version the SHA hash do not match. Did someone change it without notifying everyone?

I advice that everyone not to use the one for Windows 64bit.

Which SHA did you check? You need to check SHA-256. By default, Windows checks SHA-1. It checks out here:

I downloaded a new hash utility. It's ok now everything checks out. It's weird because the online hash utility I used checks everything out except the Windows 64bit version. Must be something wrong with their site.

Support for solo GPU mining was already released in v0.9.4.

When I recover a old wallet into a new wallet does the "seed phrase" change ?

Does anyone recommend Exodus wallet?

Are you just running simplewallet in the command prompt / terminal with the argument --restore-deterministic-wallet?

If so than yea I noticed that strange little quirk where it gave me a new mnemonic seed different from the one I entered. I just ignored it. No, unless you actually use the "transfer" command your monero is still and will remain on the original "seed phrase".
