I've been exploring and trying to set up a node running in one of my local PCs (Windows 7) for the intent purpose of allowing Monerujo to connect to it as my private node instead of using one of the public nodes for obvious reasons.


These are my port forwards (DD-WRT router):


These are the args inserted in the monerod Shortcut Target:

~monerod.exe --rpc-bind-ip 0.0.0.0 --restricted-rpc --confirm-external-bind


I then used the following node address in Monerujo as my (private) node address:

EXT.WAN.IP.ADDRESS:18081


Unfortunately, Monerujo says: "Cannot reach node! Try again or another." Is there anything I missed in my setup? Since I'm definitely networking/CLI-challenged, I wouldn't be surprised.


I also tried it on a Windows 7 GUI wallet (netbook) for good measure but nothing happens when I click on "Connect":

That's the correct command / setup (though you might want to add the --rpc-login flag too to set a specific login + username). Can you check if your ports are properly opened / forwarded?

Thanks.

Per DD-WRT control panel, both ports have been opened/forwarded (applied changes and rebooted router). There are no related firewall events either each time I try to connect. I initially thought that it could be my VPN but sorta dismissed it as other remote mobile apps (i.e. TeamViewer, VNC, etc) have had no issues making their way to the same PC over VPN tunnels (both ends). My EXT.WAN.IP.ADDR as indicated by my router should be valid.

Re --rpc-login flag, does it make monerod require a username/password to be established upon launch and in turn be required when a remote device/app attempts to connect to the running daemon? Furthermore, is it a requirement to remotely connect to the daemon or just an option (existing public nodes don't require it)?  I see the Username/Password fields under "Login (optional)" in GUI Wallet Settings but no such option in Monerujo mobile wallet.

In Monerujo, you can include the login in the node line:  user:password@ip_addr:port

Perhaps your issue is due to the fact dd-wrt doesn't support hairpin routing?

Someone suggested try connecting to the internal LAN IP, was that successful?

But jokes aside. I don't think a team who is not competent enough to write a simple GUI interface for a coin that's 3 years old and market 1.5 billion - are competent enough to write code that claims to be untracebale and securea and all that they claim... I'm not buying it. I have 5 wallets running on my system - monero wallet is the weirdest sh*t I've seen so far.. it's like a buying a car that you would have to push everywhere yourself... lol

they'd pay 6k bucks for this thing and looks like out of gas after that.

Thanks for the lead. However, the topic on your link is about being able to connect to a server via the public/exterior address of a DD-WRT router from within the same LAN, I think. I assume that's what "hairpin roiuting" means; a 180° turn right back to the same LAN. It's not what I am after. I would be at home in such a scenario and wouldn't be needing a mobile wallet to transact; I'd just fire up a GUI Wallet on one of my PCs.

What I need is to finally be able to transact while out and about and on the go (outside of my LAN) with unfortunately the only viable XMR mobile wallet app so far (Monerujo) without having to use public nodes (moneroworld, etc.) but my own private node running at home through the public/external IP address of my DD-WRT router. So far, no success in spite of doing it by the book and also trying different sets of port forwarding parameters (good o'l trial & error bit), hoping I would hit one of them and finally able to connect.

Monero is now also acting as bitcoin. Bitcoin falls and monero, too, but for a smaller percentage. I wonder what his prediction is in the new year?

Yes, I have been noticing that also. Instead of BTC/Altcoin, I’m seeing a lot of XMR/Altcoin. It’s going to take over Bitcoin.

BCN is only 100 satoshi and does the same thing as XMR i'm not understanding the price disparagement :\ whateverrrrrr bytecoin was first<<<<

Bytecoin had a yuge premine. We are supposed to beleive that bytecoin went unnoticed for a couple of years while it was being mined on the dark webz. haha.. yeah.. the premine was like 60% or more. that's why Monero took over. Code was good, devs were shady as fuck.

ok. I hope someone here can help.
I hope some of the first group of people that adopted monero at its inception were there for boolberry as well.

I have a honeypenny wallet that opens using the old simple wallet of 2014 (password works). it will not recognize the modern daemon so although it opens, I can not access the coins in the wallet.

the new simple wallet now gives me an error of invalid password. so I cant open the old wallet with the new simple wallet.

I am hoping those that mined both coins can help me recover my old wallet. I am hoping as monero and honey penny were born from the same essential code, maybe I can get help here.

I have not gotten much help at boolberry. They are busy reviving the project and I am probably a distraction for them.

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying here. You have an old boolberry wallet that won't open, or a monero one?

Can you be more specific about what error you're incurring? Perhaps a screenshot?

Honeypenny wallet that holds some coins. The wallet is from may 2014 (software version).
I can open the wallet with the simplewallet from the same date. Both are prior to name change to boolberry.
This wallet however will not recognize the current daemon (2017 version. )

when I try to open the wallet with the 2017 version of simplewallet it gives me invalid password error.

I am using the keys file to open it as I am getting genesis block missmatch. The reason for this was that Cryptozoiberg had to restart the network and the genesis block changed. In a post shortly after he (or she) had mentioned that this genesis missmatch can be corrected by using the keys file.

however, it looks like that old solution does not work now.
I am hoping someone else has some ideas.

I think in theory you can decrypt the .keys file and get access to your private keys.

Monero is the only coin that actually gets used in real transactions of any sort. It's amazing how little market cap it has compared to bitcoin. Partially I think this is because of viruses that mine it, and jerks who install miners on every desktop they can find in their university. Eventually the "mining" part will be less important and we will see more stable and long-term gains.

[moonriver]

Monero is recovering steadily from the big dig happening yesterday.
Great project will always go upwards.
