I'm looking for a spreadsheet or mathlab/maplesoft/... calculation for "Block reward = (M - A) * 2^-20 * 10^-12". Can somebody point me to one or tell me how to calculate A in atomic units. Thank u.

A is the number of coins times 10 12 |

Someone should make blockchain in db format available for download. I'm syncing for 24 hours now and I'm still 150 days behind. i3-550, 4Gb, HDD.

Download blockchain.bin and try the converter. It needs some code tweaks I think (just changing the path) so if you aren't comfortable with that it won't be an option. Obviously before a general release (and likely sooner) that will be cleaned up. |

If users want to share files that's their business I'm not going to tell them not to but it wont be something the project will be doing. We do plan to have a different portable format at some point though. |

A is the number of coins times 10 12Thx, I thought so. I had weird results because for some reason I used M = 2^256-1 instead of M = 2^64-1...stupid mistake, lol. |

Obviously before a general release (and likely sooner) that will be cleaned up. Could you please elaborate, how am I supposed to run it, how much will it take to convert the blockchain? I see that it doesn't expect any command line options like --help and that it expects the blockchain.bin to be in /home/user/.bitmonero, which isn't a problem. |

David Latapie reported testing it recently on #monero-dev and it did work for him: 06:39 <@davidlatapie> 8) copied blockchain.bin to /home/user/.bitmonero with sudo (cp /home/david/.bitmonero/blockchain.bin
/home/user/.bitmonero/blockchain.bin)
06:39 <@davidlatapie> 9) started blockchain_converter on the right folder, this time with sudo (blockchain_converter)
06:39 <@davidlatapie> It works. I could sync and refresh and send.
06:39 <@davidlatapie> tl;dr: it seems that even after correcting editing blockchain_converter.cpp, there is still a hardcoded entry for /home/user/.

Okay, I'm running it now. Definitely faster than syncing. Edit after about an hour: About 15k blocks per hour. Faster than syncing but not a walk in the park either. And @smooth, thanks for the tip. |

Sorry w/r/t missive. Fluffypony is have difficulties connecting to the internet and is in another country. A person has been hired to handled missives in the future and soon they should continue to be on time.
Hi guys - just to add that I have had really crummy Internet connectivity (literally been in the desert;) so I wasn't able to update this. We are going to skip this week's Missive and go over to next week's on Monday, as we're struggling with nagging Windows build issues for 0.8.8.5. |

Please help I can't restore my wallet from the keys (32bit) after downloading block chain from firstpage onto new 64bit pc,
I done it before without issue, but now I getting this error.
I'm able to create and sync new wallets, but can't restore mine.
Any ideas please? could it be due to blockchain download from first page.
From the image you posted, it looks like the wallet is restored just fine and the problem is only with the daemon. You can relax, your coins are safe.  Maybe someone more knowledgeable can help you with getting bitmonerod up and running. Agree. Maybe daemon not synced yet, or busy saving the blockchain? Looks like some errors in the daemon window though. Can you see if there are any other errors reported in your bitmonerod.log file? There is only one error in the load up 2014-Nov-13 16:47:05.458494 bitmonero v0.8.8.4-771b531 2014-Nov-13 16:47:05.460494 Module folder: C:\Users\worker3\Desktop\monero.win.x64.latest\bitmonerod.exe 2014-Nov-13 16:47:05.468494 Initializing P2P server... 2014-Nov-13 16:47:05.492494 Binding on 0.0.0.0:18080 2014-Nov-13 16:47:05.495494 Net service bound to 0.0.0.0:18080 2014-Nov-13 16:47:05.498494 Attempting to add IGD port mapping. 2014-Nov-13 16:47:06.561494 ERROR c:\users\ric_000\desktop\bitmonero\src\p2p\net_node.inl:311 UPNP_AddPortMapping failed. 2014-Nov-13 16:47:06.565494 P2P server initialized OK 2014-Nov-13 16:47:06.568494 Initializing protocol... 2014-Nov-13 16:47:06.570494 Protocol initialized OK 2014-Nov-13 16:47:06.572494 Initializing core RPC server... 2014-Nov-13 16:47:06.574494 Binding on 127.0.0.1:18081 2014-Nov-13 16:47:06.576494 Core RPC server initialized OK on port: 18081 2014-Nov-13 16:47:06.579494 Initializing core... 2014-Nov-13 16:47:06.581494 Loading blockchain...

Someone should make blockchain in db format available for download. I'm syncing for 24 hours now and I'm still 150 days behind. i3-550, 4Gb, HDD.
In case anyone wants the blockchain in DB format, I've uploaded it to https://mega.co.nz/#!HJATCCyA!VICGBgoZSn_BRrxEhUD3EQLGUO7pon3o27cp25SmwWE I also can confirm that the db version of the daemon works. The blockchain converter is fast only if you have an SSD and plenty of RAM. |

Also, for people with HDD, I think that mounting your home partition with "nobarrier" option helps to improve performance. |

I would also suggest that your password be longer than 1 character in length. Right now if anyone gets ahold of your wallet file it would take less than 1 second for a computer to have access to all of your coins. Especially if you don't have full hard drive encryption, anyone can easily grab your wallet files if they have physical access to the machine in less than 5 minutes. |

Especially if you don't have full hard drive encryption, anyone can easily grab your wallet files if they have physical access to the machine in less than 5 minutes. And since we are advising, I would suggest typing the command seed at the wallet a writing down the word seed. This can be used to restore your wallet using the --restore-deterministic-wallet option, so no need to fret about corrupted dat files.  I think this is one of the most undervalued feature added to a cryptonote coin. PS: Keep in mind that this needs different kind of measures to keep safe than a wallet file.Have special care not to post a screenshot of your wallet with the words in it. |
