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

[wpalczynski]

Where is the blockchain saved on my PC, should it be in the directory with the executables?  Whats the file name?  Size?

Thanks!

In Windows, it is in AppData/Roaming/Bitmonero and in Linux ~/.bitmonero.

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

i think it depends on your mixin level and the wallet balance.

transfer 0 could send just about anything but it is not good for the anonymity

i usually break up my transactions in to smaller amounts like 100-200 coins with a mixin of 3

It's really situation dependent. The limiting factor is not the number of coins but the number of bytes when all is said and done. This depends on how many inputs you need to sum up to construct the desired output. So if you have a lot of dust in your wallet and you're trying to send an oddly specific amount, you may find you can't even send 1 XMR *. On the other hand you can easily send several thousand XMR in one tx if you happen to have a previous output of that value lying around.

* This is fixed by transaction splitting. There are also dust cleanup plans ahead.

The two people who will buy Monero at our exchange at the highest price until today’s and tomorrow’s midnight UTC will get a 100 XMR reward!

so, is this contest still active guys or what?

cool!  but you're right, we'll have to wait for the offical announcement first

blockchain is 1,6 GB ? Is that a joke ?

After the pool dust problem was fixed it's currently growing with ~10 MB a day: http://monerochain.info/charts/bcsize

Vitalik Buterin answers a question about anonymity on the Ethereum subreddit and mentions the cryptonote protocol. Someone could program the protocol on the ethereum network ... I wonder, if this is done, would we have another 'altnote' ? Maybe someone could port the whole Monero codebase to ethereum and make some sort of extended monerochain ?

No, that is correct. It's about 1.7 GB here. It does depend a bit on the platform, but 1.6 GB seems in the right ballpark.

Some amount of that is database bloat (the same data being stored more than once) and can be improved with a better database implementation. The chart on monerochain records the actual size of blockchain data, currently 738 MB.

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.

David,

I read your brief of your history in Crypto just now on polo trollbox. 6 months, huh?

You all in monero now or keep some change to trade?

Just trying to learn from experience...

Yes, I arrived in January 2014, after I finished writing my master's thesis. The worst thing is I wanted to join for one year...

I am not all in Monero, I have other altcoins. But my next fiat is planned to be mostly Monero. If you plan to trade, have some BTC left for dumps. Or else short. But I am terrible at both. I'd say 60% of my money is on monero (depend on valuation) and the rest in other alts, all PoS save for some Zetacoin - NOBL, MINT, HBN, CAP, PHS, TEK, GRW, HYP.

I don't think this will help you in anyway, but hey, here it is

[aikklond]

After much effort I can finanly inform you that:

GREEK TRANSLATION=DONE

no goole translate.

native speaker.

I hope it helps the coin to gain traction among Greek miners and traders.

Please add it to the OP

what version are we on these days?

what version are we on these days?

Still 0.8.8.1 - best place to check seems to be the OP of this thread, there is some risk of confusion because the old monero repo still exists on Github but is not maintained. Unfortunately its version number appears more recent (0.8.9.65 or similar I think) which has caught more than one person out as it uses the wrong fees for txes...

from the op

This feature makes a timing analysis of the blockchain useless.

But what if they were running nodes all over the planet and storing and time stamping all of the network traffic they received, could they then use timing analyses on this time stamped record of all network traffic?
