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

[Jshank]

No. You can eliminate the dust simply by sending a series of tx to a new wallet to amalgamate it, though.

Yes, if only 0.5 XMR is able to be sent at a time at a 0.05 tx fee we are eating up 10%. Or am i misinformed?

Fee is 0.005 XMR per tx, minus dust producing fees (with mixin 0 and output that is 0.5, you shouldn't be generating dust)

Thanks for your answer.
Don't see the other transaction in the blockchain, so wouldn't bother Polo.

My issue from the this post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.msg7240988#msg7240988
is still not fixed. The first transaction is finalized (after many hours) but the other one is not.

This is just the only one monero lost. Anyway could be really more and nobody can tell me what did I do wrong.

If there's nothing I did wrong and nothing I can do - the issue is appalling. Could literally mean: monero can disappear for no clear reason and be gone forever.

Have you contacted Polo? As far as Im aware they only watch a payment ID until it receives something. There is a chance that after that first transaction was received they stopped watching that payment ID which is why the second transaction isn't credited.

I am trying to get my wallet setup but I can't seem to get it to connect.  The log is showing:

Anything I can do to get it to start syncing?

Thanks for your answer. I will take your advice.
I was using v0.8.8.2.1. The last mandatory update I see was to 0.8.8, so the version was up to date or am I wrong?

You sent them using the old version of the client, there was a mandatory update weeks ago. I can tell because of the tx size limit in your console. You included txs that were likely both oversize and had the wrong fees.

Please download the latest version of the software, delete your poolstate.bin file, delete your wallet.dat file (backup first), and resync from your wallet.dat.keys file.

That version is old, there were some issues with versioning numbers before, so we had to roll back the numbering. Please download the version in the OP and use that.

Looks like their daemon has crashed, happens occasionally with this pool software. If the last network block found is more than 10min ago then chances are you are mining nothing until they restart it.

How come monero isn't on sites like http://www.coinchoose.com/?

How does profitability compare?

Monero is on http://whatmine.com/

It's not showing for me on the main profitability list tho?

It seems to prevent the high orphan issue at pools (thanks Boolberry!)

Pool operators should pull and compile the latest code.

Indeed, no orphans for 100 blocks on my pool.

It is stuck right now. It's not finding blocks.

I am trying to follow the instruction to get my wallet setup in Windows but I am having no luck.  I have all the files and have downloaded the latest blockchain.bin from the OP but my wallet just keeps saying:

"Failed to connect to any of seed peers, continuing without seeds"

Can anyone provide any info on what I may have wrong?

TFT pulled his seed nodes, you need to add new ones:

Code:

bitmonerod --seed-node 62.210.78.186:18080 --seed-node 195.12.60.154:18080 --seed-node 54.241.246.125:18080 --seed-node 107.170.157.169:18080 --seed-node 54.207.112.216:18080 --seed-node 78.27.112.54:18080 --seed-node 209.222.30.57:18080 --seed-node 80.71.13.55:18080 --seed-node 107.178.112.126:18080

Thanks.  Working now.

It is supposed to checkpoint to disk, but apparently it didn't. Double check that you don't have a disk problem (out of disk space, etc.) and once it syncs up the next time, type "save" in the daemon window.

Thanks for the tips. This coin really is for geeks (funny thing is - I AM one !). Now I can see why nobody's buying it - it's not even out of alpha yet.

ok, I've downloaded the blockchain but can't find any info as to where I should locate it. If I put it in the same folder as the daemon, then the log entry says 'Unable to load blockchain, creaating genesis block'. On the other hand, if I look in users/AppData/Roaming etc, there's no sign of a Monero folder created by the daemon.

If I downloaded the Windows binaries, do I still need to install any 3rd party support infrastructure (there was on cited on the Wallet download page but I forgot the name right now).

Thanks again for the tips !

EDIT: FOund where the blockchain goes - it's in a folder called 'bitmonero' in roaming, not monero.

Bitcoin itself was once a geeky skeletal framework. In fact in either case, it's not the coin itself that is geeky but rather the underlying technology. The task at hand is to bring the technology to the masses which is an evolutionary process.

I am the masses.  I'm interested i'm Monero due to the involvement of people I respect.  I have no computer skills.  My new computer is windows 8.1 with a pentium chip so I wont be mining.  I started using btc over a year ago.  I have never downloaded the blockchain as I have only used the electrum wallet.  I have considered purchasing XMR but the process of downloading, setting up, and transferring is daunting.  I don't want use an exchange for storage.  I see that an attempt is being made to make a deterministic wallet.  Will this mean no downloading of the blockchain like electrum?  

Any advice on how to get started with Monero would be appreciated.

Actually I would say I am the mass. I heard of btc about six months ago. Have never used btc. Did not own a single cryptocurrency. Started with byet coin bcn and had it running in 3 hours.

I think the word daunting means many things to many people. But I would say using mro/XMR is not daunting

I updated http://mropool.org with this patch. It would still be very much appreciated if a few people would help me to find a block so I can see if everything works as it should.

The Mac Wallet and GUI Miner that can be downloaded from http://mropool.org makes it actually very easy to start (CPU) mining if you are on a Mac (OS X 10.9). (Direct link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/cnywy3xsncfgcfq/Monero%20Wallet-0.2.zip)

Thanks for info. It was hard to realize 0.8.8.2.1 was outdated while v0.8.8.1 was up to date.

"Upgrating" and resyncing solved the problem
