Not 100% sure but, but should work in recent versions :

Code:

./simplewallet --restore-deterministic-wallet --electrum-seed="<your_seed_here>"

It will ask you a new wallet file name/password.

It is also possible to add --wallet (wallet file name) and --password arguments in the same command line.

I have been involved in this coin for a while. there r two things bothering me.
The first is that  blockchain keep growing at  a fast pace than I expected. I understand this is uniquely caused by cn protocol. I am just wondering any hero devs has ever tried to think about a solution for this issues.
The second is about mining. botnet problem is happening right now, I guess, since the profit of mining this coin is obvious. r u worry this issue will become worse when the coin become more popular, even the possibility of 51 attack may be a true threat.

I can't understand how is it even possible this thing to sync so long and to use my whole internet connection which is 100mbps.   It shows 12.5MBps Receive and 5 MBps Send.   Everything that works depending on the internet connection fails.   No Browsing,  No Mining, No Connection between any device.  No Smart TV, no Smartphones , no HBO - no nothing. And my router is pretty awesome - if it was other - it would have fried by now in this temperatures.   How is it possible to use the whole 100mbps for several hours?  This has to be about 100 or 200 Gigabytes. And the last blockchain istn't working. Only the blockchain from 20 June syncs.   W...T... F..., dev???

The seed phrase suffices to recover a wallet.  Remember to delete simplewallet.log once you have recorded it.

I think the devs should emphatically warn about this, it can be a huge security risk.

The seed isn't in the log, we removed that ages ago:)

[fluffypony]

Does anyone know - is it possible to recover wallet info if I lost my wallet password? wallet.[bin+keys+txt] files is present.

sure just use that mnemonic passphrase that you wrote down when you first created your wallet.

I dunno about that, I think you'd still need to know your wallet pw after you recreate it to unlock it, not 100% sure tho...

You don't - the mnemonic is a deterministic seed that is used to create your spend and view private keys, so it's unrelated to your wallet password (as it should be).

We are applying our mind to the blockchain size issue, but at its current growth rate of 40mb a week we've got plenty of time to figure out how to solve this in a way that doesn't compromise or reduce the anonymity set.

Every coin has botnets mining it, and it's a practical non-issue. To try and use a botnet to fudge consensus is extremely hard to the point of improbability, and given the hashing speed of the average crummy desktop (around 50h/s) you would need a botnet with more than 128 000 machines. The higher the hashrate the less of an issue this becomes:)

You're not just syncing downstream, you're receiving blocks from multiple peers to establish consensus and you're sending blocks to connected peers. The daemon has no understanding of "bandwidth", it works as fast as it can (which typically means maxing out your line). We are looking at adding a low-level QoS solution in the future, but in the interim you can use the bootstrap blockchain to get you going. As with anything, if you find it to be a major problem please do feel free to fix it and submit a pull request to the main github repo.

Now that the pool dust problem has been fixed the chain is growing at about twice the rate that bitcoin does.

So the chain is roughly going to end up being 2 to 3 times larger than bitcoin due to the anonymity.

This is really a non issue right now.

The main issue is bandwidth usage.

[drawingthesun]

My advice: if you're not ok with an anonymous coin being two to three times larger than bitcoin then please dump all your coins, because it's unlikely Monero will ever be 1:1 size wise compared to Bitcoin.

Even darkcoin routing through multiple nodes in RC4 will have the same bloat issues.

Anonymous will always cost more. Always.

It seems a lot of you don't know what you've got yourselves into. I think you're looking for a coin that is anonymous and is as small as Bitcoin. If so, the exit is simple; Please dump every last Monero you own, right now.

fluffypony, whether you have noted or no, you have just answered most the questions to be placed in this thread's sticky FAQ. Can you make this FAQ now? You have to just copy-paste questions and answers and put them sticky at 1st page.

I can do this job for you, if you were accept this FAQ, and make it sticky.

Also I noted, 32-bit obsolete Monero binaries are still sticky at 1st page.

fluffypony, just a day passes, and newbies will ask the same questions again and again, download invalid 32-bit Monero binaries, and feel much frustation!

one thing maybe to add - I think we can assume that storage does not matter in the foreseeable future - hardware as well as projects like maidsafe/storj will solve that problem.

Someone mentioned maybe in another thread an application that lets you control bandwidth for each program that you use. Does anyone use this? It might be a short term solution as this issue may mean that many users have the daemon open for a short as time as possible. Maybe have a way to vary the resources required?

The entire OP is going to be overhauled, and that will include a bunch of FAQ answers (not that anyone will read it, they'll still ask the same questions in this thread;)

The 32-bit binaries are NOT obsolete - they work perfectly fine if PAE is enabled, and once we have the embedded database stuff working the 32-bit binaries won't even need PAE.

i have been out of monero mining for a while due to a move.
1. in the op there is no multiminer link. does this still work.
2. is multi miner still the same as lucas zone11 miner
3. why is wolf miner linked is it much better than lucas miner (if it is multiminer)
4. any solo miners left? not cloud miners mind you. just a guy or gal with a computer random town usa.
5. with 100/s what is the time frame a solo miner can expect to find a block now using simpleminer
6. with CN now producing a reference code coin. Does this pose a threat to monero. not their reference code coin but others launching with what is now fairly known technology and therefore launched to a broader base than those of us who found bitmonero in its early days.

thanks.

hi all. sorry for my english
I am mining on moneropool.com. During the day, pool has sent me in the wallet 1 XMR, but the purse they still did not come.

Check that your bitmonerod is fully sync'ed, and hit 'refresh' on the wallet. If the transaction has gone through, it should come up after a wallet refresh (which is currently a manual process if you tend to keep the wallet open).

Cheers,

1-3) Wolfs miner is considered the fastest atm, it is an improved fork of Lucas' miner.
4-5) people are still still solomining but with considerably more than 100 h/s. If thats all you have you would be better on a pool but don't expect to make too much.
6) Its debateable but the essence is that their reference coin is just that, an implementation allowing any noob to fill in the variables and have their own CN coin. However, if a dev does not have the knowledge to fork without a holding hand method do you really expect them to be able to maintain a coin and also make it better than XMR ? I doubt it, the reference code imo is the CN team shooting themselves in the foot by giving people the tools to create lots of crappy implementations of their technology.
