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

[equipoise]

^It should be in th ~/.bitmonero folder (not in ~/bitmonero)

[hughjays77]

figured it out. Now a new question as my real issue was lack of access to my Windows 7 wallet due the blockchain download getting stuck..

Can I somehow transfer a windows wallet to Linux ?

Thanks all for your help. 'make clean' was what finally worked. I learn everytime I use linux I have now downloaded the linux bootstarp blockchain but the daemon is not finding it. I assume I have placed it in the wrong directory.

Any help ?

Otila,

Linux newbie. I tried google. How do I  remove "-flto" flag

Use a text editor to remove it from file CMakeLists.txt

^Copy your .keys file to linux and open the wallet as ususal - a new .bin file will be created based on the .keys.

How long do monero confirm a transaction transaction, i have transfer some coins to a excahge plartform for 10 hours,but the excahnge palrtform still not receive my coins?anyone know what happen?thanks !

Did you send using the current version of the wallet? If you sent using and older version (fee too small) the transaction won't confirm.

What happens to user's funds after that? The sent fund will be returned back to user's wallet, won't it?

[digicoin]

What are the biggest possible amount of coins that can be sent in a transfer? 100 coins? 200 coins?

Yes but it isn't as streamlined as it should be yet. You have to delete the bin wallet file (not keys!) and resync.

Much more than that. I don't know if there is a set limit. However if you use mixing you will find few outputs on the blockchain of such extreme size with which to mix.

whats the view on anon coins and the proposed NY regulations?  If they get applied there, it won't be long before other states copy them and apply them.

there is a section, s200, on those that issue, administer and control coins needing to register for licences.

Monero is not aiming to be in compliance with the regulations I suppose

edit: however, this could mean that the devs (if their identities will be known) could possibly not be allowed to enter the US.  
Don't know if this also would apply to David, the spokesman...

Is a negative response towards anonymous currencies from governments and law enforcement a threat to Monero? How will Monero respond to criticism of anonymity?

David – First by not being anonymous if you don’t want to. Monero is private by default, optionally transparent (just like cash!) – the details of individual transactions, or even of an entire wallet, can be revealed publicly or privately. Plus, the developpers are publicly accessible. You can Google my name and the French and South Africa governments could knock at our door if they need someone to talk to. We play fair with everyone, governments included.

Great Work! Try to develop for other coins too and you can get a good fund for your project and can help others too.

thank you ...used pscp to do transfer. daemon synced...waiting on wallet to sync as well.... all running through ssh on headless linux system booted from Ubuntu 12.10 on 16gb USB...only 6% space left

For 16 GB, it would be better if you install Debian or Lubuntu or any lighter distros or just buy a 32 GB USB.

I moved my calculations about Monero distribution to a new thread.

Many are concerned, especially mining pools

The thing is. I'm not very BTC wealthy (nor fiat wealthy either lol) and I would like get a feeling of if it was possible to gamble part of my monero in an initial oscilation in price.

But I guess its difficult to guess, huh?

Exactly the same situation. And talking from experience, don't short XMR if you're not good at trading. Just wait for XMR to equal BTC. Could take a couple of years.

Does Monero require the whole blockchain to detect double spending and the balances of accounts?

[fluffypony]

Does Monero require the whole blockchain to detect double spending and the balances of accounts?

Yes - it builds up a set of already spent key images from the blockchain. You can't know the balances of anyone else's accounts except yours.

I would like to use monero with tails.

Is there an ELI5 already?

Tails already pushes all traffic through Tor, so it should "just work". If you're not terribly comfortable mucking around in the command-line, I'd wait a little until we have a release with more ELI5-level usability:)
