[XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency

Posted info about monero reddit giveaway in Russian thread.

i download 32bit binaries and i have problem file not valid for win32 , anyone know to fix this ?

It seems you use Windows XP.
I don't sure that 32-bit wallet can work under Win XP.
Try it on Win 7 or Eight.

That doesn't look like an OS issue. I know of no binaries that are valid on a 32-bit Windows 7 or Windows 8 system that are invalid on an XP system.

mozurt, are you sure that you have downloaded 32-bit binaries?

Double check you definitely downloaded 32 bit binaries and for the love of god please dont use XP for any crypto or any other security related stuff.

I don't have ".../AppData/bitmonero" folder, what should I do? In what place blockchain.bin should be placed?
Also, with "show_hr" command I got "Mining is not started". I'm starting by bat-file from "getting started".

Okay,

First off you have to create that folder in $AppData$\Roaming\bitmonero then you can put your downloaded blockchain in there.

To mine you have to type start_mining [number of threads] in the simplewallet.exe windows not in the bitmoneod.exe

e.g start_mining 4

Then you can use show_hr in bitmonerod.exe

If it says daemon busy when you try and start mining it is because the blockchain is still syncing.

Still no answer
Also, x64-version of bitmonerod says this (x32 works well):

I've run that two daemons on Windows 7 x64.

Thank you.
Why is this written on http://monero.cc/getting-started/#installing-monero:
"./bitmonerod --start-mining MRO_address --mining-threads number_of_threads
This line above is the only one you have to know for mining. Be it on your computer on another computer. You don’t even need your wallet open to mine".

This is daemon, not wallet.

[equipoise]

^You could make the daemon to mine sending the command from the wallet you want to have the mining income to. This way you don't need to type the address, because the wallet knows it. You just type "start_mining number_of_threads".

That is a linux command.

Yes you don't need to use simple wallet to start mining but its the easiest and if your just mining on your personal computer there is no need to use that command with the adress just

start_mining <number of threads>

is all you need.

It comes in useful when you have more than one system mining but you want it to all go to the same address.

the equivalent windows command is something like

start_mining <address> <number of threads>

in the bitmonerod.exe window.

I understand now, thanks.
Don't you know why I can't sync it with downloaded blockchain.bin? I get this error:

Where are you placing it? What bit version is your PC?

[georgeandy]

When the GUI wallet can lanch?
When the pool can come out?
I can't mining anything with my I3 CPU

There is a GUI wallet being tested, feel free to test it if you like.

Pools are nearing completion, it has taken a while due to not being a copy paste coin.

1) Into C:\\%my_username%\AppData\Roaming\bitmonero
2) Windows Server 2008 R2 x64

Sorry, I've cleaned all those files, started all again, and now it seems to me daemon is synchronizing. About 2 days left now, 27 days were earlier.
Hope it would be synced well.
P.S. No, it freezed on synchronization, lol.

[Quanttek]

I am baffled by the complete lack of instructions for the software associated with this coin. Can someone put some instructions on how to get started with the wallet and mining? I am sure there is something within one of these 80+ pages but do we all have to reinvent the wheel?

seriously man...sooo frustrating...

As above stated , just go to monero.cc and read the Getting started page

it is probably a language thing, and it is by no means meant personal, but this behaviour of members not participating on the development is horrible. monero is one of the most promising projects out there and sometimes development needs time. I am not a developer and I am simply freeriding their time and effort spent - the last thing I would do is complaining about the development speed.

By this I want to say thank you for the effort and time spent by the developers. kudos to the team for the impressive improvements until now - never forget this coin is three weeks old. 

[alphacenturion]

Im now trying to sync the blockchain but its taking a while.

I have a question - on the setup video on monero.cc it says you choose your wallet name? How is it I then see 95 character addresses?

The coin is looking promising - cant wait for the pools to be setup as my cpu is an i3 and I shouldnt imagine Ill be getting much with the hash. GPU mining will be good.

That's just a file name you're picking, so you can keep track of the files. Inside the files are keys and your 95 char addresses.

I think a lot of people feel that the train has left the station. there are many things you could do.
1. buy monero on exchange
2. get a better computer
3. mine with what you have and be patient.

3 week old currency. you are getting in on the ground floor. Some questions here or concerns can be read from the original post.
1. the current devs are not the devs of the technology. it is adopted from Bytecoin. Bytecoin (go to bytecoin.org) is the first implementation of cryptonight developed by a seperate organization that is called cryptonote.
2. apparently from the anonymous developers (we do not know who they are. There were/are some rumors for possible cicada 3301 connection but this is not confirmed. Please review Bytecoin thread for this. There are two bytecoin threads (one is cryptonight algorithm, the other is a bitcoin clone. )
3. totally new tech and things have to be build from the ground up. Original work for pools, exchanges and such.
4. This is not a litecoin, bitcoin clone. This is new algorithm called cryptonight and intended to be cpu only. (some think it may be cracked in future, to this no one currently invloved knows. the current devs are volunteers.
5. As this is not a GPU coin, and its intention is mass adoption ( i am gathering this from the developers mission statement), then hopefully no gpu will be able to adopt it.

from what little I understand, gpus (asics) can do simple tasks repetitively very well. CPU are poor at this, however CPU's perform complex tasks very well and gpu (asics) can not. This technology takes advantage of the uniqueness of cpu.

to others that are more knowledgeable please correct above post.

[smooth]

One small correction

Bytecoin.org is the first implementation of cryptonight developed by a seperate organization that is called cryptonote.

The relationship between cryptonote and bytecoin is not clear. On the cryptonote web site they portray the two as separate groups who don't necessarily communicate much. Little if any other information is available.
