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

[Anon136]

I haven’t made a bad bet yet in crypto. With a little luck this wont be the first.

The signal to noise ratio in the altcoin universe is so epicfully horrible its no surprise that so few realize the potential here.

This coin is not competing with Bitcoin.  On the contrary this is one of the few coins which does something that Bitcoin needs.  This platform is the technical lone runner in the race for monetary privacy in the crypto space, and if it achieves it it also allows Bitcoin to be the transparent medium of exchange it was designed to be.  Bitcoin benefits by not having to simulate privacy and therefore can remain pure.

Something HAS to rise up to offer this functionality.  At the moment nothing I know of comes even remotely close to Monero's lead in this arena.

Yes this is exactly the same conclusion I came to after much research. Many empty promises. I cant speak to whether or not all of the nitty gritty crypto works with monero. There is a pretty reasonable chance that it doesnt. However this is the only proposal, where if it does what it says that it does, than the thing that it says it does will actually lead to the outcome that people expect. That is to say, even if darkcoin, for example, actually works 100% exactly the way its supposed to work, its still a complete mess.

great review about an XMR pool with a trusted early adopter of litecoin by the name 'Coolty' seems to be hands-down delivering a solid pool for the community

5/5 Stars for Coolty's Pool?

Keep up the great work Monero team! 400+ pages is something to be proud of in a short period of time.. not everyone has seen the impact of outside-the-anonymous realm, maybe Hybrid X11? maybe pure, X11.. a few will come to mind eventually for each of you.

Ok, i got the error here, which (when happens), blockchain after that happens becomes unusable:

Help / Hint?

Dear customers of Monero!

Dev team is now working hard on your problem, but you can simply fix it yourself!

Simply switch to 64-bit version of Monero. You may load prepared official blockchain for it - see 1st sticky page of this thread.

Then, back-up your wallet.* files, and delete wallet.bin in Monero directory. Then start bitmonerod, and when it will sync to the net, start:
"simplewallet --wallet-file wallet.bin"

Always type "exit" when you want to stop bitmonerod or simplewallet.

AND YOU NEVER HAVE PROBLEMS AT ALL.

This thread is my last hope, as all my attemps to install wallet and miner in lubuntu 14.04 failed.

This are the errors I got:

I would be very glad to find help here, but have to say that my knowledge in Linux is pretty limited.

I think you may be building on an architecture which doesn't have support for 128 bit wide types. Like something built without SSE.

If your hardware (or VM) does support SSE, maybe your compiler does not. Or you might need to add the right flags (eg, -msse or whatever, not sure what exactly).

Logs of configuration may also have error messages related to that, though I'd half expect the build to fail then if it can't find what it needs.

STOP THE FREE RIDE FEE

first pool have break the ice as blocking claymore fees for showing it can be done.
it is now only matter of time other pools to ban the fee, permanenty
you will soon see first good pool blocking fees rising with their hashrates to the roof.
whos pool will it be?

[Bladetus]

Could pool operators please direct their advertisement to the appropriate thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=653467.0
I get that you want to improve your pool's hash rate (I do too), but it's making this thread harder to read and honestly is a bit irritating.

Flat 0.005 fee + small quantities to burn off dust in you use dust inputs

Hi Tacotime. Is there any way to consolidate dust transactions (<0.1 XMR) from pool mining within a wallet?

[equipoise]

^Just send them to another wallet of yours. A fix is coming soon to split the transactions for you.

i recently updated my cryptonote wallet as ive had XMR in cold storage for the past month and a half or so... as more updates came out i thought i should update... however i type my password i created on the old wallet and it now says invalid password and closes..

i have not forgotten my password as i saved it on a txt doc ... i checked 5 previously saved versions of the txt doc for the last 2 months to make sure nothing had changed....it says my password has remained the same since i created it, yet it is invalid using the updated simplewallet using my .keys file   ...

i dont have alot of money but i believe in xmr so i bought a lot for my budget... i could really do with your expertise in this matter

thankyou for your time and i appreciate your help

[RentaMouse]

I "borrowed" crypto-pool.fr's efficiency code and ran it on my pool as well, came back with similar results, from 26th - 28th June we were easily outperforming the network difficulty  at 110%. Over the last day its dropped now to more like 105% which I would think is more within standard variance but is still a bit high, and if its the same across all the mining network what effect is that having? The difficulty has been up and down over the past few days so I don't think its down to it lagging behind hashrate increase, although need more data to be sure, interesting for the people who like statistics anyway.

*WINDOWS USERS* (I think Linux users may do very very the same)

In case of any problem you have encountered with Monero:

1. Backup your wallet.* files.
2. Delete ALL Monero files from your computer.
3. Download 64-bit Monero zip & blockchain.bin from 1st sticky page of this thread.
4. Unzip & place all the files downloaded above to the directory: "C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\bitmonero".
5. From the backup made at step 1, place wallet.* files ||| EXCEPT wallet.bin ||| into directory at step 4.
6. Start bitmonerod.exe and wait for it to sync with the net.
7. Start simplewallet by the commad prompt: "simplewallet --wallet-file wallet.bin" (name of file that must NOT exist in directory at step 4).
8. When you want to stop any monero executables - ALWAYS type "exit" & be patient.

simplewallet re-creates correct version of wallet.bin for you.

Since you migrate to 64-bit Monero by CORRECT WAY mentioned above - you will never have any problem except being patient due to Monero is currently somewhat slow.

Monero developers are working hard to entirely fix the problem - you may choose either migrate the way I described above, or wait for developers to release a fix.

You're asking the pool operators to steal from Claymore?

Right.  As I hope superresistant realized when he very briefly posted that his pool was going to do this, the result would simply be that the closed-source miners would no longer be able to connect to his pool (or, worse, would submit shares but eat actual blocks found).

This is a very bad idea, and as a miner developer, it would make me stay the heck away from the entire coin.  Let's not go there - XMR has benefitted enormously from having open source contributions that moved it away from its deliberately-slowed-down bytecoin base, and will continue to benefit from improvements to verification speed, ease of mining, etc.

I have a better suggestion:  A large bounty for an open source AMD OpenCL miner.  

If you make it large enough, perhaps Claymore will open source his.  If it's interesting enough, it'll draw other authors into the competition.  And if it's not, then you'll learn that people prefer to pay for quality software by paying a dev fee -- and what's wrong with that?

(20 BTC and it's done.  That's about the same amount that it took to bribe vote Mintpal into listing XMR, so it's not an insane amount.

I would say the "invalid signature" error is your problem, I recall someone else having the same thing and a full reinstall (including wiping their %appdata%) fixed it. Make sure you backup your wallet.bin.keys file first though, just in case!

[parker928]

hello i have tried this method and it says my password is still invalid... i dont understand why as its the same password, is there another method... or do you think i will have more luck with the new gui wallet?

thanks for you help

it kinda seems like you just forgot your password. did you try 'x' for password? or nothing? capslock?

dude theres no way i could have forgotten, i had it written on two docs, ive gone through all the previous versions of the txt doc i put it on, and the password is correct, so i dont know why i cant get into my wallet

i took extra precautions with xmr for the fact that i didnt want to lose money and its a great coin... i dont understand why it worked before and not now if its literally exactly same password

IDK man i find it really hard to believe. the cryptonote protocol doesn't just forget your passwords. i don't mean to be a dick but it is 99% likely that you are at fault here. If you wrote the password down correctly, and it is coming back as incorrect, you probably made a typo when you typed it into the daemon. it doesn't ask you to repeat the password when you generate a wallet, and it reads as ******** so there is no way to see if you made a type or not. my advice would be to try the password again in the daemon with all the likely typos, example if f is the first letter of your password, try it with all the keys surrounding f instead (c,d,r,t,g,v) and do that for all the other letters and i bet you will get it after a few tries.

again, not to be a dick, but I would bet 100 xmr you are the one at fault here not the daemon lol.

[aminorex]

You're asking the pool operators to steal from Claymore?

That's propaganda language.  We all know what is actually happening.  Calling it stealing is a way to smear the value judgments of others in an area where precedent is thin and vocabularies thinner.  I consider Claymore's miner a threat to Monero.  Because it is just a miner, it is a relatively low grade threat, but it is still a threat.  He chose to release it freely, with no license for download.  What we do with it is up to us.  There is almost no similarity to stealing. although I admit some tenuous analogy does exist.

In a gallic cultural context, where les droits d'auteur are more of a category in themselves, Claymore's claims would be stronger than in a albionic context of Franklinite copyright.  In a sinic context they would essentially vanish.
