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

[GingerAle]

my wallet can't sync now .why?

More information please.

Are you running your own daemon?

Are you running the latest software? (0.10.3.1) ?

What operating system?

Do you mean the wallet won't sync or the daemon won't sync?

[iCEBREAKER]

Guess I should have sent the entire balance to a different address with no mixin back when that was possible? 

Sweep unmixable should still work. If it doesn't it is a bug.

Have you tried with cli?

Also setting fee to low should result in much lower fees than before (though still may be high if the old dust is 'dusty enough')

CLI produces same "Reason: mixin too low" result.

Isn't that because mixin 0 (ie ringsize 1) tx are no longer allowed?

Should I use sweep_all instead?

any marketing campaigns coming out for monero in the future?

[philsmock]

Is this the only relevant coin untraceable?? If so, why it is not surpassing even Bitcoin?

Because BTC is more secure, bigger marketing, a lot more adoption, bigger community, older, famous, store of value; gold on steroids.

When you first open the GUI wallet, and the pop up asks to start the daemon, click on Use Custom Settings instead of letting it start.

Then, in Settings, change "Daemon Address" from localhost to node.moneroworld.com - Click connect. In a few seconds, you should be synced.

For reference using CLI:

Edited, thanks bitebits:

You could use an open node (it is however advised to run you own):
https://moneroworld.com/#nodes

You probably need to update your GUI wallet to the Beta 2 version:
https://getmonero.org/2017/03/29/monero-gui-beta-2-released.html

Make sure you run version 0.10.3.1 of the daemon:

There is not that much people that are using Monero compared to Bitcoin. With not that many people using it, the price of Monero is not going to surpass Bitcoin anytime soon.

I've never done CPU mining. Is it better to mine with the wallet, or to mine with a program like minerd?

you should try to mine with a software, I've using it now and its great. Im mining monero thru the use of my computer's cpu, although it is a little bit slower than others but still i can mine the coins that I wanted, sometimes Im using both my cpu and my gpu and its great because the amount of hashrate is very big therefore it easy to mine with a program.

Wallet-cli seems to be running. I have logged in with my wallet name and password and it shows my balance. Can anyone tell me what syntax to use to send funds to poloniex using an address and id? I have tried

transfer <address> amount <id>

to no avail because it says Error: payment id has invalid format, expected 16 or 64 character hex string

AFAIK, That's the correct CLI command syntax. Are you sure you have the correct poloniex payment id and they are not reversed?

[AAAnditsgone]

Owlcatz the syntax is correct. I am not sure that monerod is working properly.

This is the monerod log:

Strange, have you tried deleting the blockchain dir and resyncing? Are you using ssd or HD? Do you have a firewall installed preventing the p2p?

[AAAnditsgone]

I havent tried deleting and resyncing. Do I just delete... what files? Not sure where they are..

If you are on windows 10 , delete or rename this folder and restart the daemon.

Is there a tutorial on using GUI wallet with a remote node? (i.e. a light wallet setup)
