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

[eizh]

Is it normal to see such kind of errors?
...

Normal for the time being, yes. These are transactions floating around in the network that miners reject because the old client's fee is too low. It's the recent stopgap patch at work.

Update

I'm guessing you're missing about 20% of the log-weighted mass on the tail due to under-reporting by small holders.

How does the XC anonymity feature trump the one of XMR?

I think I can safely say that XC holds a lot of "promise".

I'm just a bit concerned that this is a brand of margarine.

EDIT:  I should have held my peace perhaps, but I find my own jokes too amusing sometimes.

What unique features does it have that is not trumped by other coins?

Is it also normal that the bandwidth is so high?
It eats up my 5mbit upstream.

It is something we are working on. Most of it is people downloading the entire blockchain (using poorly behaved code). We encourage people to use the static web downloads but we can't force that.

If the bandwidth usage is too much for you to handle, as a work around you can block incoming connections, but we don't encourage this generally because it will make the network unstable if too many people do it.

Thanks for response.
What about limiting TX speed with 3rd party program (e.g. cFosSpeed)?

Yes that should be fine. As long as you aren't solo mining you don't need high speed. Even then you don't need a lot of bandwidth, just low latency.

Please report back how it works. Others may benefit from this as well!

Well, I received from Polo instantly, by having daemon tx speed limited to 30kb/s.
Can someone please give me noob a template how to transfer to Polo with payment ID? Then I'll also test outgoing transfers.

are you using simplewallet?

Code:

transfer <mixin #> <poloniex address> <XMR amount> <payment ID>

use a mixin factor > 1

[krawallmining]

Thanks, the brackets of wallet help for paymentID confused me.
I had to set mixing to 0, fees are kinda high and I'm just testing with micro amounts.
Wallet reports success so far...

Edit: Polo is confirming. Seems like daemon running without issues with limited tx speed.
I just set it to 10kb/s and it still seems to be working normally, no problem with communication to wallet apparent.

Whoa wonderfull ! you just achieved what a lot of other did !

[krawallmining]

Not a big deal, ofc.
Blame smooth.

if needed i opened to public a bitmonerod instance reachable on host: xmr1.coolmining.club and port 5012.

So you can open your wallet like this without the need to run a local bitmonerod instance :

on linux :
 rlwrap ./simplewallet --wallet-file /path/to/wallet/wallet.bin --password '******' --daemon-address xmr1.coolmining.club:5012

on windows should be the same except rlwrap doesnt exist by default on windows.

So no more fastidious downloading of the blockchain for people with little connection, they just need to be able to run simplewallet.

This service is as is, don't complain about security ! and the blockchain file is in ramfs, so you can always try to save_bc

[TheKoziTwo]

quick question.
can i create a wallet completely offline? 

Yes of course.

fluffypony has written a step by step guide:

As for live disk, my personal favorite is Tails

[sgi02]

I've updated to the latest bitmonerod and simplewallet and now when I try to exit the bitmonerod (with the exit command) it just hangs and I have to manually close the window causing me to have to resync every time I reopen. I deleted the poolstate and p2p files, and the issue still persists. I'm running Windows 64-Bit, any workarounds for this? Thanks!

Can you use the save command? If so use that before force exiting.

Just wanted to say thanks, this worked for me. Appreciate the help!

[Lloydimiller4]

With making offline wallets, is it fine if I continue to use older binaries?
My current offline computer is 32-bit, (upgrading in a few weeks) and I wanted to make sure that generating my .bin.keys is -always- fine to do on older binaries.
My offline computer is still using binaries dating pre-mnemonic passphrase

let me know

PS: Dev Donation coming soon 
Keep up the good work!

Good analogy! 

XMR is the sweet, creamy butter of anon, made by happy organic cows.  XC is Promise margarine, a brand of fake butter.  And Cloak is Country Crock, full of nasty hydrogenated stuff.  Like all cheap imitations, they're best avoided.

Speaking of marketing, who else thinks looking into this might be a good idea (to reach the normal people who find this forum gives them hives)?

It's probably much less expensive than a Monero booth at TC Disrupt!
