Ok, I can't seem to get this damn thing to sync up.

I first couldn't connect to any peers, then I found the seednodes so started it with those and now I'm getting this;

Code:

2014-Jun-10 22:16:30.106007 [P2P2][145.255.5.202:18080 OUT]Sync data returned un
known top block: 1 -> 79605 [79604 blocks (55 days) behind]
SYNCHRONIZATION started

2014-Jun-10 22:16:52.187270 [P2P2][24.20.184.148:18080 OUT]Sync data returned un
known top block: 218 -> 79605 [79387 blocks (55 days) behind]
SYNCHRONIZATION started

That doesn't look like it is syncing to me, so whats the problem?

I'm using windows.

You are syncing, I cut a bunch out the middle so as not to spam the thread, but note how the "blocks behind" total is dropping. As suggested though, its much quicker to download a large chunk of the blockchain from the link on the OP rather than wait for your daemon to sync it.

A friend of mine made a simple experimental android widget.

Its v1.0 and not really tested except by me.

It shows:
Price in BTC from poloniex
Price in dollars from coinmarketcap
Volume in dollars from coinmarketcap.
Automatic refresh every 30mins and also refreshing by tapping it.

He will soon add total market cap and total coins. And when we are in more exchanges those too. There are some ideas for more features...

Right now its not on google play store but he will add it probably soon. Added.

If you are interested download it from here: https://mega.co.nz/#!T5gzDRhK!vbPYvTgFStsUEBZUHuI5-13xw2GCLr6vw1LSpDl0sFo

And please make feature requests or tell us about bugs.

Updates:

-Ok so now the widget shows total hashrate.
-Added on google store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tr.monerostatus

Thanks for the reply. I quickly figured out that it was syncing but had to type "save" to actually save the blockchain.

So I thought, hey, I'll download the blockchain.bin (like you just suggested) but it fails to open it and a lot of red text comes up about errors in some temporary files.

Code:

2014-Jun-10 22:31:41.265122 Loading blockchain...

Thanks again guys.



EDIT: I see the problem. I think I might have downloaded the OS X blockchain as I was going to use it on my mac first. Then changed my mind. Downloading the windows blockchain and will report back.

EDIT2: Turns out I was wrong, I had the right blockchain. It still won't work


EDIT3: Redownloaded the blockchain a third time and boom, works. Heh.

It may be faster to follow the instructions on the webpage and download a blockchain file first:

FOR FASTER SYNCHRONIZATION DOWNLOAD A BLOCKCHAIN FILE:

Windows-64 blockchain (place in %AppData%/bitmonero)
Unix/OSX-64 blockchain (place in ~/.bitmonero)

Be careful when you use software from unknown members, a lot of people are preying for your bitcoins.

How do I calculate the amount of XMR I can make mining given my hashrate? I want to know if it's worth it for me or not.

Go to #monero on IRC (freenode) and type

Code:

!calc XXX

Where XXX is your hashrate.

Then you can type

Code:

!price

And finally you use a calculator to compare with your cost (electricity or VPS)

I see, do you think a final reward of 1 XMR might be just? I posted the suggestion in the Monero economy thread.

We are still discussing it. Nothing will be decided on this without a MIP and a lot of discussion with the community.

Hmmm.. Who is bitmonero.org?  Only way I know they might not be legit is from you.

The only legit site is monero.cc. And this is a core member who's saying it :-)

I get that, and I am glad you are saying it.  Edit the links out of your quote from my post and I will do the same with the original.

Simpler: Start with the top post on this thread. If it isn't linked from there, it isn't official.

Seriously, has there been a pizza sold for monero already?

Pretty sure that I'd get perma-banned from the forums if I voiced my "appreciation" for you right now! 
Next auction (the one for tacos?), I'm buying you one, free, I'll be asking 0 moneros for it. You shall eat it! Oh yes you will!

Ah rats! I'll never get over this, damn it!

I cannot speak to Pizza, but I bought this painting:

Master has been updated

- New seed nodes added.
- Electrum-style deterministic wallets have been added to help in the recovery of your wallet should you ever need to. It is enabled by default.

https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero

1.  The 24 word list is written to simplewallet.log  Perhaps this is intentional, but I wonder if it might be good to warn the user?

2.  I assume wallet files made BEFORE this update are not (cannot) part of the deterministic set?

3.  Are there docs on how to do a recovery?  Or is that not implemented yet?

(thx)

Nice, congrats!
