Not getting much hashrate on windows 8.1 and an 8 core AMD processor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113284

CPU working at 90% and getting hash rate of 4.8

Is this what I should be getting? I have left it mining now for 2 hours.

That CPU is not listed in the hardware comparison so hard to say. Everyone so far has reported getting a lower hash rate with the Windows build than compiling from source on Linux. If you want to optimize try that.

Can I suggest to the owners/developers of this coin that they store a relatively recent copy (Windows and Linux)of the blockchain on your website(link to cloud).

I would also suggest that you have two machines(windows and Linux) that upload their blockchain on a nightly basis.

At the moment I suspect the long sync time is putting people off.

This approach is taken by bytecoin, not sure on how often they update, and was a great help.

On a side note I think there is a problem long term for all coins as keeping wallets in sync is going to be a problem.

At the moment I use a computer that is dedicated to CPU mining and managing my wallets.

There are links in the download section of the OP now for the Linux and Windows blockchains.

Rootwelt machine - Ubuntu 13 not working - illegal instruction (followed the same instructions except added swap space)

Any ideas?

Anyone compiles it successfully on Mac OS?

Not yet, but very soon. BCN had some significant code changes and those will be merged into MRO. I was able to compile and run the new BCN build without any problems on OSX (Mavericks, 10.9.2).

Hey guys, why didn't you submit Monero on CryptoNote forums? I refer to https://forum.cryptonote.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7

Where do I need to put blockchain.bin on windows? I can't file monero folder in appdata...

In the windows wallet when I try to refresh I get:
Error:Refresh failed: transaction extra parse error. Blocks received: 0
Bitmonerod is still mining and synchronized. I can't get any of the new blocks from bitmonerod to synchronize my wallet with the blockchain. When I replaced the wallet from a backup file refresh is working till it gets to some recent block and then it gives the same error, but Blocks received: 3200+. When a new wallet is created it gets 18194 blocks before giving the error. Is the linux situation the same? What about other windows users?

Same problem here. One of my machines has this error: Error: refresh failed: transaction extra parse error. Blocks received: 18194

Created new wallet, same problem.
Copied blockchain from another computer, same problem.
Rebooted (its windows), same problem.

I'm going to check out other computers now.

Yes, all computers affected and the new one I just brought up a few minutes before this problem happened. Looks like a network issue.

Download a new blockchain (link in OP) and try again. Worked for me.

Edit: Did not. It seems to be a network issue like MisO69 said.

[tarmi]

same problem here

[tacotime]

Network issue is known, I just woke up

Fixing it now

Nope, same problem, all computers. 3 different locations.

Anyone else? any ideas?
