I believe Monero is slowly growing in traction and getting ready for another big pump I hope very soon it will reach $200. Current price is still very low as compare with it's competitor market than it has more superior tech and potentially it has room of growth to get more better position in coming days. Infact it is still the best privacy coin maybe the only real privacy coin ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

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-guibut 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. ^^ Why are you performing step 1 to 6? Those were meant for someone else and they were stated in a separate message. You merely had to follow this and restart the GUI + daemon: https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/3086/how-to-change-location-of-the-blockchain-with-monero-guiHopefully your blockchain is not corrupted now. Could you start your GUI, go to the Settings page, and press Show status? Subsequently, paste the output here.

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.
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 Are you sure your system didn't perform an automatic restart because of some updates? or is there anything i could check to stop it happening again Make sure to check whether there are any automatic restarts queued, because Windows will just ignore any program that is running and force quit it. P.S. An SSD is significantly faster than an HDD with respect to syncing. Thus, if possible, always make sure to sync it to an SSD.

Was it here or the speculation thread where it was mentioned that CTs won't really work for Bitcoin/Litecoin since not all transactions are confidential?

Well it looks like the drooling masses will be catching on now. As Litecoin creator Charlie Lee noted just days ago, fungibility is the “only feature of good money that Bitcoin/Litecoin is missing.”
I'm excited to see progress on Confidential Transactions. Fungibility is the only feature of good money that Bitcoin/Litecoin is missing.
I look forward to adding this to Litecoin when it is ready. 🚀 And this can be done with a soft fork. Stay tuned!
— Charlie Lee [LTC] (@SatoshiLite) November 14, 2017 We have been yelling Fungability from the rooftops for years but no your going to be told from every n00b that shows up in the scene all about it like it's some new idea. Lol I'm not sure how it will work out though being added to such established chains? @Smooth, can you explain how effective this would be on BTC? Does anyone know if it would be mandatory or what mixing level they would enforce and how they would deal with the massive bloat it would add? Do they see the new block reduction (forgot the name dammit) thats being discussed as an offset?

Implementing the cutting edge technology and updates is what makes a crypto great so monero should also have some updates and new features as other coins are implementing its anonymous transaction features

The main advantage of Fonero is the use of Ring Confidential Transactions (RingCT) for all transactions. Also, all the problems and mistakes of Monero developers were taken into account and there are no problems inside the blockchain

ETN doesn't have MNs. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Instead they have a single masternode that can revert transactions every time someone steals some ETH or they fuck up beyond repair.

@Smooth, can you explain how effective this would be on BTC?
1. The report itself is quite misleading. Confidential Transactions was initially invented by gmaxwell for Bitcoin, not by or for Monero. Its concepts were incorporated along with ring signatures by shen to create RingCT, which we then deployed (in January 2017). So it is quite inaccurate to say that those considering adopting CT in Bitcoin are going to be adopting something from Monero. It is accurate to say the Monero is the first coin to actually deploy a CT-based system on a significant scale. 2. Bitcoin (and Litecoin) are only proposing to use CT, not RingCT, which means it will only hide amounts. Go look at a Bitcoin chain explorer and cover up the amounts. Everything else about the transaction (sender, recipient) will still visible as-is. Obviously that is a lot less privacy than Monero, but still an improvement over what Bitcoin does now. 3. As far as tx size, that is a significant obstacle for BTC since even with this new, more-efficient CT it would still increase typical tx size (and all that comes with that such as fees) by a significant factor, maybe 2-3x. I suspect there will be significant difficulty gaining consensus to do this, or if it is done it won't be used much and will therefore suffer also from chain analysis and fungibility issues (as do all optional privacy systems). In the short term LTC has less of an issue there since it is much less used and has no shortage of chain space and much lower fees. But longer term LTC would run into the same problems.
