doesnt work. Not sure what I will do as I can get my wallet synced without my deamon up to date 17days is not the issue...its that the blockchain download is stuck.. I just figured out how to enable PAE [BCDEdit /set PAE ForceEnable from cmd prompt][and am trying to see if this makes any difference in forcing the blockchain to download] I've heard it said that bitmonerod can be persuaded to run on Win32 by enabling PAE, but I dont recall anyone saying they have actually done it, so might be a struggle finding a blockchain to download Even if you find one to download you won't be able to load it without configuring your own windows to support a larger memory space (I think this involves PAE and/or /3GB), so you might as well figure out how to do that and then just sync the blockchain yourself. 17 days won't take long, especially since that is after the pool dust issue was fixed.

Try /3GB EDIT: Make sure to reboot after changing these settings. Both are boot options. doesnt work.

This comment was on another Monero thread, I'm moving it here because it was off-topic for that discussion, and might get legitimate feedback in this thread. I have sent (or will be sending) a PM to the poster with a link to the new location: i like monero and all..
but you guys are spamming now with 1000 opened threads for different topics. please contain your coin topics on a dedicated forum or main ANN thread.

-updated by kbmUnless there is some guideline of which I'm not aware, I don't agree. The stated purpose for the "Alternate cryptocurrencies" forum area is "Discussion of cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin." Every current Monero thread falls within that purpose, as far as I know. Nowhere do I see a stated rule that each altcoin should have a single thread. That is insane. Threads should cover a single relevant topic. Multiple threads on the same topic could be viewed as spam, but (for example) new users looking for help setting up a wallet and discussion of the best embedded databases for use within the software are certainly not the same topic and don't belong on the same thread. In fact although common practice it is kind of off-topic for ongoing discussions to take place within the Announcements subforum, since at some point the thread no longer constitutes an announcement of anything.

-updated by kbmA dedicated forum reduces visibility and activity on bitcointalk, which is still the epicenter of cryptocurrency discussion. I'd prefer XMR becomes more usable and mature before taking that step. In the meantime, split threads are much more readable than one thread. I don't see why that dev thread is self-moderated, though. The reduction in credibility that comes with self-moderation (within the culture of this community) is much bigger than any gains in thread quality. Trolls don't bother with technical threads anyway.

There is no reduction in credibility -- that as a bogus argument made by trolls who want to troll without interference -- as the original posts are always available on the mirror sites. It is quite impossible to use moderation to censor or suppress a viewpoint. Moderation serves only as an organization tool making the thread a better resource for a particular target audience, and should be more widely used, not less. If the moderator does a poor job of serving a target audience, then the thread will die. BTW, this discussion itself is off-topic for the Monero thread. If it question is one acceptable and/or proper use of the bitcointalk forum, that belongs on Meta.

they removed the giveaways because it was spammy.
How would you feel if every coin opened a new tread for every new news?
Seriously. look up how many different threads you got going on.

Giveaways are banned because they are paying people to bump threads. No one is doing that here. How would you feel if every coin opened a new tread for every new news?
There is not a new Monero thread being opened for new news. Seriously. look up how many different threads you got going on.
Looks like 6 including this one. Explain which of these does not constitute a single, well-defined topic that is distinct from the others: Monero Economy. Macroeconomics of Monero. Monero Support. Help with setting up software and welcoming newcomers. Monero Mining. Mining questions. Monero Speculation. Price fluctuations. Monero Dev. Coding questions, the pendant of #monero-dev.

Giveaways are banned because they are paying people to bump threads. No one is doing that here. sure your not paying them.. but your prompting thread surface dominance by having different topics specifically who could easily be focused down to a specific forum like all the other coins are doing. I am sure all the coins would love to stay in bitcointalk and be always on top post each time a post is made. here is what i mean Litecoin Economy. Macroeconomics of litecoin Litecoin Support. Help with setting up software and welcoming newcomers. Litecoin Mining. Mining questions. Litecoin Speculation. Price fluctuations. Litecoin Dev. Coding questions, the pendant of #litecoin-dev. dogecoin Economy. Macroeconomics of dogecoin dogecoin Support. Help with setting up software and welcoming newcomers. dogecoin Mining. Mining questions. dogecoin Speculation. Price fluctuations. dogecoin Dev. Coding questions, the pendant of #dogecoin-dev. ANYcoin Economy. Macroeconomics of ANYcoin ANYcoin Support. Help with setting up software and welcoming newcomers. ANYcoin Mining. Mining questions. ANYcoin Speculation. Price fluctuations. ANYcoin Dev. Coding questions, the pendant of #ANYcoin-dev. It would be annoying to come and check the ANN thread and see different 7 topics of any coin. you making an example of whats to come next

Sure, those are different, generally specific, topics, and most of them aren't really that active. For example, I happen to to run the FAQ thread and I know that it isn't active most days any more, so it generally gets buried and is only accessible via a direct link for reference purposes. Or the monerotalk thread -- exactly one post over a month ago. Who cares? Monero / XMR Wall & Difficulty Observer / Trading Speculation Thread.
Monero Development and Engineering
Aren't these the same as the speculation and dev threads above? As far as other coins doing it, I have no objection to other coins having multiple threads to discuss different topics, as long as there is sufficient interest (and if there isn't, then the threads get buried unless they are being deliberately bumped as with giveaway threads, which should be banned). There is no "one thread per coin" rule. That would be a terrible rule IMO, and would essentially destroy the altcoin subforum as a useful forum for discussion. Many in the wider community wouldn't mind that though.

Yes, monero is an extremely hot topic right now, particularly among bitcoin users who largely ignore all other altcoins. For example: Monero is the clear leader of the group now, and is soon to be well established among the second tier of cryptocoins (first tier of altcoins).
I happen to know more large and astute bitcoin holders than most of us. It is unbelievable that 75% of the people that I am talking about (holders of 1,000-100,000 BTC) are between "curious" to "very positive" towards Monero, even though the same guys generally don't own any altcoins (the small volume makes it difficult to own them anyway and guys of this caliber usually see where there is value and where there is not). so it stands to reason that Monero threads will be popular here. Furthermore there is zero paid promotion of Monero. There is no "altcoin marketing company" paid to promote Monero. 100% of it is organic interest. If hypothetically you were to succeed in forcing them all into one thread, all that would happen is that would assure that the Monero thread would be right on top of the list virtually 100% of the time. If your coin attracts a comparable level of interest, then you deserve the same.

Let's admit one thing, 99% of the threads in the alt coin section are utter rubbish. This section has introduced a small handful of interesting ideas and discussion over the years, now Monero is changing all of that and serious non scam talk can commence.

With a higher mix in, does this raise the transaction fee? Is there a limit of mix in to 30? Cheers

Maybe if people stopped posting FUD every few minutes, the threads wouldn't be on the front page? Troll post or not, each one keeps Monero in the spotlight.
