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

[jimhuang]

The GUI wallet is so hard to the XMR team?
I wait for it for my whole life

[hbadger]

When I first started my wallet, I didn't encrypt it. How can I encrypt it now? I'm using simple wallet.

Another question: How does the Monero wallet decide what other signatures to use to sign a transaction when I say to use n signatures? Does it select them randomly from the blockchain?

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure it's encrypted - always. There's no ability to create an unencrypted wallet.

Yea but I can spend from my wallet without typing a password. So it must not be encrypted.

My guess is that your password is empty.  That doesn't make it plaintext, it just makes it trivial to guess the password.

Just looking at the code... I think it is possible that there is no PW set.


    if(!command_line::has_arg(vm, arg_password) )
    {
      LOG_ERROR("Wallet password not set.");
      return 1;
    }

Not the best code to prove it but it's 2am and I need to sleep. Best to use additional encryption anyway - or generate a new wallet w/ a password and send to there. The wallet software is still evolving though as the PW doesn't seem changeable.

Can you give examples of additional encryption? I'm kinda new to cryptography.

If you want to encrypt your keys file for storing it somewhere else safely or print it you can do this on Linux:

Code:

# Encrypt:
$ openssl aes-256-cbc -base64 -in file -out file.aes-256-cbc.enc
# Decrypt:
$ openssl aes-256-cbc -base64 -in file.aes-256-cbc.enc -out file -d

how can i copy/paste adress to simplewallet?
i dont want to write it by hand!

(win7)

Copy and in the cmd you can right click with the mouse, that should paste it.

doing so.. but not working this time

^1) Right click on the blue title bar -> edit -> paste, or 2) right click on the title bar -> properties -> quick edit and now each right click in the window will paste what's in the clipboard.

there is a text file in the same folder with your wallet file, namely <wallet>.address.txt which does contain your public address.

The trade thread is closed, but #monero-otc channel is still active on freenode I think.

Copy and in the cmd you can right click with the mouse, that should paste it.

First you have to open "Properties" of your command window...
And check "QuckEdit Mode"... this is unchecked by default.

Only then <right click with the mouse>... will paste what's in your clipboard.

hey guys you know the website could be way better with just 1 days work... do you want me to make you something real quick?  

for example your contact form gets a 405 error, the price link pages looks pretty confusing, etc.

just let me know i can suck out the content and slap it into something nicer looking in a few hours that should hold you over.

i've done some of the websites for mastercoin which get pretty good conversions (50%+) on wallet downloads

pm me since i dont read this thread all the way through

Chat about it on the IRC

[David Latapie]

go to freenode #monero-otc

got a link? someone else sells like 400 Monero?

This is IRC (internet chatting protocol), so you need an IRC client, like Hexchat (http://hexchat.github.io/)

I have not ever mined any coin before because I just have a regular computer with an i5 and no graphics card.  I have heard that there were lots of other CPU coins but not one ever interested me. 

I have been digging through this thread and tried my hand at downloading and installing programs, but really am not sure what to do. 

Is there anyway or anywhere I can get a very detailed set of step by step instructions how to run a cpu miner in windows 32?

Do NOT use minergate, they will scam your coins. You won't be able to withdraw your coins and their support will reply to you!

[aminorex]

Would like to buy some Monero, where can I buy some? Thanks

first you need some bitcoin, you can buy here: https://poloniex.com/exchange/btc_xmr

thanks. But I prefer to buy from the thread. Anybody sells 1 BTC worth Monero?

go to freenode #monero-otc

What are you talking about? Does this have any credence at all? Just fudding?

Can someone else confirm or deny this statement?

Just tried it myself and you're right about not working at the moment.

I stopped using Minergate, had 13+ MRO (lost), what a waste of time. I'm mining http://moneropool.org/
I hope this is a good pool and they pay. I guess i'll find out soon.

[BitcoinForumator]

I don't think it makes sense though. They just upgraded their software, added a new coin. I doesn't look like they're shutting down.

One more thing. Why aren't Monero Block Explorers searchable by the addresses? (only hash, transaction ID)...pretty inconvenient.
