OK, I'm not a crypto noob but I'm new to monero. This jinky wallet is pissing me off (slow, crashes, freezes) and bittrex won't even let me send funds over. Where do I find info on a full, clean uninstall to start over?
https://downloads.getmonero.org/cli/linux64 Has always been smooth as silk for me. Building and scanning the database though can be unusually computationally intensive compared to other crypto-currencies. Is your system a bit on the older side? As far as a fresh install. On linux it stores application data in ~/.bitmonero. On windows I would venture a guess that its in C:\Users\userName\AppData\Roaming or C:\Users\userName\AppData\Local. Probably Roaming but I have never used the windows client myself so I can't be sure. Other than that just delete the directory where you unpacked the binaries or use the add remove programs utility in windows. Thanks, I think I found out shutting down while loading the initial blockchain is a big no no. Can't uninstall from windows for some reason though. Will delete and run regclean. 12gb ram, Win 10 pro, 3.2 amd 4 core should be enough for a wallet I'd think. |

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

I think it's safe to say that isn't the problem. |

Monero is still a really good currency and the updates to make it private will make me invest in it more.
I have sigs turned off, so I can't see, but assume this is another farmer. This shit is getting out of control on this forum. 2 and 3 posts per minute, continuously. W.T.F. |

What can you do, not anyone's fault you were born with limited metal capacity for comprehension of the most trivial computer GUI tasks. |

Ignore the trolls. I don't like the GUI wallet either. Does is work for you and you just don't like it, or are you having a real problem that makes it unusable? I would suggest the support thread, but it's pretty dead. |

Try using this guide: https://www.deepdotweb.com/2017/05/01/monero-gui-wallet-guide/This guide was written when GUI beta 2 was released, but is still applicable to GUI v0.11.1.0. Paging jemiro too. |

With a friendly platform makes me very confident with the future of Monero, maybe now Monero is still the second or third choice of most people, but for me Monero is the first choice, next year the price will raise at least $300...

Agree - worst working cryptocurrency GUI wallet I have ever seen, but your problems will be solved with community support, be patient or try CLI - seems better working. |

OK, here's a more technical question: what filesystems would be better suited to hold the blockchain on *NIX OSes and how would you configure them for optimal performance if they were mainly used to store the blockchain?
I'm guessing CoW filesystems such as ZFS and btrfs aren't particularly good choices, though I don't have any data to support this hunch.

Monero has never been updated to make it private, are you in the wrong thread or are you just a spammer? ...and the guy who speaks publicly For Monero lies to the public to pump his coin and get rich (FluffyPonzi). I'm never touching Monero no matter how good its privacy is.
Thank you for dropping in and letting us know that you will never own this coin, do you do that for every coin or are we just Special?

I'm not up on the latest partitioning types but what you want to choose is the least corruptible and most stable as well as recoverable of them all. Speed between all of them is pretty negligible in the real world. Also make sure you choice is future proof for drive sizing as you'll want to migrate that partition one day if you do it right the first time. |

Sorry man, Grandmother Vanga is dead so can't tell you anything about Monero price, accept that speculation thread is hereThank you for dropping in and letting us know that you will never own this coin, do you do that for every coin or are we just Special?

Speed between all of them is pretty negligible in the real world. Also make sure you choice is future proof for drive sizing as you'll want to migrate that partition one day if you do it right the first time. I'm thinking as time goes by and the blockchain becomes bigger and bigger, the choice of filesystem for a node that handles many connections (open daemon for unlimited wallets) is going to be increasingly more important. You raise two points: 1. data integrity. For this copy-on-write filesystems are unmatched. 2. performance relative to one another being negligible. I beg to differ. Different filesystems handle fragmentation differently and that adds to the significant number of random reads for a node that has to handle a large number of wallet connections. For this I think filesystems without journal like ext2 might be fastest. By the way, what is a sure way to identify blockchain corruption? Is there a command to make the daemon recheck all the blocks? |
