Cli = for server model
Gui = for end user


Ahahaha don't fight gui and cli same guys what prefer used. Up to you. Happy mining

Xmr is not much power consumption. I try used that voinhive my procie is good (i7). Profit. Now minergate is bad not single day profit.

You'll need a Radeon RX or R9 GPU if you want to mine XMR and profit.

Hi there, not sure where is the best place to post a monero support question. Just installed Hydra v0.11.1.0 and started to snyc on a new machine. Got to about 360 days still to sync and getting this message in log:

Is there any other solution other than deleting blockchain and starting sync from scratch again?

hi,
i am just installing my monero wallet and would like to ask if there is any chance to change the daemon log path? it is automatically saved on my smaller hard drive which has not enough space left. I was able to change the wallet log path but am uncertain about the daemon log path. i couldnt find anything helpful so far.

Is there any other solution other than deleting blockchain and starting sync from scratch again?

There's the --db-salvage flag, which has to be applied to monerod.exe from the command line, but it's unlikely that it'll "uncorrupt" your blockchain. However, if you'd like to give it a shot, it's done as follows.

1. Exit the GUI and make sure to close the daemon as well.

2. Browse to the directory monero-wallet-gui.exe is located.

3. Open a new command prompt. This is done by first making sure your cursor isn't located on any of the files and subsequently doing SHIFT + right click. It will give you an option to "Open command window here".

4. Now type -> monerod.exe --db-salvage

5. If that doesn't work, you, unfortunately have to resync from scratch. A resync is easily triggered by deleting C:\ProgramData\bitmonero.

Whilst you're syncing the blockchain using the daemon (monerod.exe), always make sure to exit it gracefully. If you're using the CLI, this is done by simply typing "exit" into monerod.exe. In addition, if you're using the GUI, simply click on the x to close the GUI and make sure to close the daemon as well.

Try for later as I just try for mine. For now gpu used for another alt.

Thanks dEBRUYNE for the fast response! Unfortunately now luck with the --db-salvage flag, so re-syncing, new ssd drive so much faster than my old hdd.

I did not perform a forced exit from the daemon, just left it running on a machine and used the save command regularly - then when i went back to check it several hours later the daemon had just closed and would not re-initialize, would this just be a glitch? or is there anything i could check to stop it happening again? Cheers

ive tried this. the chain is now safed at the directory i ve chosen but the space on the other hard drive is still decreasing. dont know what it is. is there any alternative wallet availabe (maybe web based) you do recommend?

Try to restart the GUI + daemon. To clarify, you applied aforementioned guide right? I, perhaps, should've clarified that it only goes into effect when you restart the GUI  + daemon.

Btw, if you don't want to lose any progress, you can copy data.mdb to the new directory.

He's using the official GUI, not a web wallet. If he were though, I'd have agreed with you.

A pity for me Monero doesn't have the bounty campaign.  this coin is my real loved coin, the first I knew

real privacy transaction! all people can benefit.

Sure it does, Bug bounties and you can always make a funding proposal on either reddit or getmonero.org. At least I think you can use reddit, I don't frequent it much.

Just an FYI guys, not all keyboards are created equally! Hah this is no surprise, cherish those 486's and old mechanical input devices.


keyboard found to contain hidden keylogger

https://www.techspot.com/news/71768-popular-budget-mechanical-keyboard-found-contain-hidden-keylogger.html

except it was debunk, there is no keylogger inside this keyboard...

Updated, 11/7/2017, 8:40am PT: An earlier version of the article stated that the keyboard's software was sending key presses. However, in a closer look, it seems that the Cloud Driver software doesn't send the key presses to the Alibaba server but only how many times each key has been pressed.

http://www.tomshardware.com/news/mantistek-gk2-collects-typed-keys,35850.html

Well key occurrences  along with if you have the timestamps of the keys pressed, depending how frequently stats get pushed home, you could make a list of probable words typed.

It would seem if you only log in then largely use the mouse for browsing, they could get a pretty good anagram of your password after a few months.

I agree with both of you, it would not be tough to crunch a word list with time stamps and keypress amounts. Maybe thats enough smoke and mirrors for the layman (moronic masses:: sheeple) to think they are not being logged but any first year programmer or mildly intelligent person could figure this out.

Monero For Good: How Mining Cryptocurrency Has Become a Philanthropic Venture

https://investfeededge.com/monero-good-mining-cryptocurrency-become-philanthropic-venture/


Monero (XMR/USD), unfortunately, has garnered a negative reputation due to it being caught up in darkweb dealings. However, new charities have found creative ways in which users can mine it (due to its Cryptonite algorithm closing the door to ASICs) using a fraction of their CPU power and donate it to worthy causes.

Bail Bloc is a charity initiative that looks to tackle the growing problem surrounding bail in the United States. It’s a product of The New Inquiry, and is currently working with the Bronx Freedom Fund – which is an organization built around helping New York City based individuals who’ve committed misdemeanors pay off their bail.

Bail Bloc’s program mines Monero, which is then exchanged for USD and donated to the Bronx Freedom Fund. Once January 2018 comes, the project will be routing funds to The Bail Project which covers over three dozen cities in the United States..........

[Willywillson]

i made the following steps:

1. Exit the GUI and make sure to close the daemon as well.

2. Browse to the directory monero-wallet-gui.exe is located.

3. Open a new command prompt. This is done by first making sure your cursor isn't located on any of the files and subsequently doing SHIFT + right click. It will give you an option to "Open command window here".

4. Now type -> monerod.exe --db-salvage

5. If that doesn't work, you, unfortunately have to resync from scratch. A resync is easily triggered by deleting C:\ProgramData\bitmonero.

6. restart wallet

7.followed that link https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/3086/how-to-change-location-of-the-blockchain-with-monero-gui

but it does not work. step seven is messing it up. an error massage pops up saying daemon is not able to start. so i have to clear "daemon starup flags" again and restart GUI. its syncing now unfortunately on the wrong hard drive. ^^

Monero: Kovri

Great job.

Alert, there are 3 coins ie IOTA, ETC and NEM are approaching Monero marketcap, I'm afraid the 3 coins will replace Monero and XMR will out of the top 10.

Who cares really? None of those are in the same marketspace.

now mine monero so hard
i'm using minergate I dont know that minergate problem or what because now block not find
for backup I'm use coinhive and so perfect but low rate

minergate==scam

Alert, there are 3 coins ie IOTA, ETC and NEM are approaching Monero marketcap, I'm afraid the 3 coins will replace Monero and XMR will out of the top 10.

Those can not sustain the achievement in case if they over take marketcap of Monero. They need millions o dollars daily trading volume to be there which is very hard without being supported by large community and support. Monero has these two things so watch things is large perspective and you will not see anything to be worried about.

Agreed hope price will stable on 0.02 btc or high. As today xmr profit for less process mining

Price speculation thread.

Steady, we'll be watching a lot of XMR surprises, I still keep XMR for sure XMR's future will continue to improve.
