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

[mirny]

Guys, please use other pools, otherwise we will end up like bitcoin with it's ghash pool.

can you recommend me some?
.fr problem with payouts, moneropool.com same issue, minergate, better not saying anything,
my hashrate is 10kH, pool should be 100-200x bigger than your hashrate, what I've red,
so now be clever, because I'm not.

With such kind of logic new pools have no chances.

@mirny: With 10kH you should solo mine and you should get 1.75 blocks per day (about 7 blocks per 4 days).

[Its About Sharing]

I noticed this error message. Why is there a User call "ric"? That isn't me, or is that just the default path?
Also, that is not any of my IP addresses, just checked.

which is the source of your binaries ?
obviously that's not your IP, that's the peer you're communicating with.

On the page before I asked a question about my wallet. (bit more detail there).
But, my binaries were downloaded from Github as a zip and then I moved the files (after first setting a password and 24 word seed). I'm running the bitmonerod and simplewallet by having double clicked on the downloaded files. It seemed fine till an hour ago.
In my other question I was worried about having moved the source files after setting the password and seed. Perhaps that is why? Though it seems my .bin files are still in my home directory.

Thanks,
IAS

extremehash.com? 10% bonus

can I test that my 24 word seed is still ok?

Your seed is a random combination of data that, when produced, will re-produce your wallet, indefinitely.

To see if it's working you can just create a new folder, copy and paste the 'simplewallet' file into that folder. Then execute a script with the simplewallet file but with the flag --restore-deterministic-wallet

It will ask you for a 'new' name for your wallet, a 'new' password, and then the seed.

The new name/pw don't have to be the same as the old one, but it will make a file that is the same wallet regardless of what you choose. You may verify the address/viewkey/tx log independently from there if you wish to go that far.

Check out the missives for a confirmation/better description.


edit: There's no need to worry about moving any files. You may shred them, burn your computer, just lose the password to your wallet file .. etc. As long as you know those words you may restore your wallet no matter what happens.

Price is increasing. I regret I didn't buy more at 0.0025 I always make same mistakes.

@beavis4ever
extremehash.com too many orphans, need 120 confirms instead of normal 60

@equipoise
I'd like to solomine, but there is no solomnier for GPU's

@sammy007
I think that logic is normal, you would like to waste your hashrate just like that?
I think no. So maybe I'll try that new pool from Wolf. It's looking like the best choice atm.

it's like that, if you don't own a crystal ball

This advice was addressed to small miners with 100-200 H/s. If everyone with huge hashrate will mine on huge pools we will end up with 1-2 pools cracking all the blocks and small pools will disappear, and we will never see new pools coming, because it's almost impossible to successfully launch a pool when everyone will think this way.

BTW, welcome to http://xmr.hashinvest.ws -- always latest updates.

[mirny]

all right then, i get it, it was just recommendation for small miners,
don't worry I'm supporter of hash spreading

Those orphans are not recent.  They are from before, when all pools produces many orphans.  Also, I believe you are also incorrect on the number of confirms.

@mirny: You could set your own pool on one of your PCs. Then, on the mining port you could disallow any other IPs except the IP's of your mining machines. Then you could disable the pool shares verification (you won't cheat on your own pool) in order to save the hash power for the pool machine CPU's (so you could mine on the pool machine CPU too). I think this won't be too hard to set. I'm not an expert on such type of configurations, but if I had your hashing power (I'm mining with about 130 H/s) I would give it a try. It seems the current version of the daemon could need some restarts on the pool machine (sometimes it freezes), but this could be done manually or made automatically on some adequate intervals (maybe a few times per day just to be sure?).

[mirny]

@beavis4ever
So is it a bug then?


@equipoise
Yes, that would be the best way, but me and linux, we are not a very good friends,
once I've been trying to set-up a pool, but It's a big headache and too many sleepless night
without any result. Yes, this is my commitment for this year, to learn, how to built and manage a pool.

Monero Status Android Widget

A friend of mine made a simple experimental android widget.



Google Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tr.monerostatus

Some bugs have been fixed.

Updates:

• You can now choose your main currency: USD,EUR,CNY,GBP,CAD,RUB
• Monero price in BTC and your main currency
• Bitcoin price in your main currency
• Volume in your main currency
• Automatic refresh every 30mins and also refreshing by tapping refresh button.
• Total Monero Hashrate

By clicking at Monero logo you can see more stats:

• Market Capitalization
• 24h change
• Total Coins
• Block height

Finally you may create more than one widget, each with different main currency.

Many thanks to the two guys that already donated!

And please make feature requests or tell us about bugs!

Yesterday we started a pool with Wolf0 on http://pool.cryptoescrow.eu
We found 3 Monero blocks in the first 12 hours or so with 50KH/s or less. We're that lucky!
Our pool has 3x faster share validation though.

I believe so.  Same thing happened yesterday, and I got paid.  It may be the daemon is stuck.  The the last two blocks were found at about the same time of the day, just 24 hours apart.

I've just asked mintpal about the implementation of Monero. We've finally had a reply!!!!

[12:37:55] <darlidada> Hi MintPal-Jay : if Monero is first on voting list on monday are you gonna be able to add it? because its not a bitcoin clone, its total new technology so maybe its gonna be hard, are u aware of it and of the work that needs to be done to implement it? I ask because at the moment investors are betting a lot of bitcoins to make it first on monday! It would be a shame if things doesnt work out

[13:19:46] <@MintPal-Jay> darlidada: We haven't coded it yet, but might do sooner than later given its climb, tomorrow would be a bit too soon

Oh LOL, they have no solution yet, but collecting bribes. Pandemonium, I have no other words.

[devphp]

Your best bet at raising trade volume would be to go on the NXT Asset exchange (David Latapie said he would consider a possibility to set up a gateway), Mintpal won't add you, they were playing same games with NXT and still haven't added it. They only add bitcoin clones because it doesn't take any work to add those. Any new technology requires time to test, so major exchanges won't add so quickly.
