Monero Support

[xa4]

^You can't convert non-deterministic wallet to deterministic one. You should create a new wallet if you want to use this functionality.

Edited...

Thx for the info.

Downloaded the Mac binaries from the getmonero.org, and getting the following error when I try to run bitmonerod on OS X 10.10.3:

Nevermind. Used "brew install bitmonero" instead.

I could use some help running a node...

I compiled bitmonerod and made a ~/.bitmonero folder (putting downloaded blockchain.bin and an old wallet.bin I have into it).

when I run a node I see this being repeated:

Code:

2015-May-16 08:05:21.827009 [P2P0]Failed to connect to any of seed peers, continuing without seeds

[/s]
how to get seed node or peers?

Also the blockchain.bin obviously doesn't get used:

Code:

2015-May-16 08:05:20.435886 Blockchain initialized. last block: 0, d1046.h1.m5.s20 time ago, current difficulty: 1

Do I have to import blockchain.bin somehow?


EDIT: I got help on irc #monero, so this is solved.

https://getmonero.org/getting-started/running doesn't help at all. It's extremely light on info and doesn't offer any information about configuration and/or troubleshooting. Frankly it's quite frustrating, I can't find any useful information on configuring / running a node. I would be grateful if someone could point me to some documentation. README.md doesn't give info beyond building, either.


My wallet doesn't work either:

Code:

~/bitcoin/monero\> build/release/bin/simplewallet
Creating the logger system
bitmonero wallet v0.8.8.7-21a72bd
Specify wallet file name (e.g., wallet.bin). If the wallet doesn't exist, it will be created.
Wallet file name: /home/user/.bitmonero/wallet.bin
Error: failed to open wallet "/home/user/.bitmonero/wallet.bin". Keys file wasn't found

am I missing another file to complete the wallet? Is it an old incompatible format?

Any help is appreciated.


EDIT was missing key file

[smooth]

1. blockchain.bin being in your .bitmonero directory should get loaded at startup and you shouldn't be starting with block 0. Are there any messages that indicate a problem loading it. Or maybe the file is download failed and the file is zero length?

2. Yes, you need the .keys file for the actual wallet. The .bin file is just a cache of part of the blockchain.

3. It isn't customary to put the wallet files in .bitmonero. Suggest just putting them in a regular directory where you can see them (dot files are normally hidden)

4. Usually being unable to access seed nodes indicates a firewall problem. There are 20 or so seed nodes hard coded into it, at least one should work.

EDIT: Correction to #1 above. I realized since you compiled it yourself you are running the database version (does not store the blockchain in RAM any more), which means you need to convert the blockchain.bin file. There is something called blockchain_convert, which requires a lot of RAM but is a one-step process, or the alternative is blockchain_export followed by blockchain_import (two step process but uses less RAM). Third alternative is just let is sync from scratch, but that can take quite a while. None of these processes is lightning fast though.

[adhitthana]

So I have some Monero, on an exchange. Can I store them anywhere, apart from an exchange,  with downloading a wallet and the entire blockchain?

[shitaifan2013]

So I have some Monero, on an exchange. Can I store them anywhere, apart from an exchange,  with downloading a wallet and the entire blockchain?

do you mean "without downloading..." ?

if so, https://mymonero.com/#/ should be what you're looking for.

[adhitthana]

Thanks and yes I meant without.

Just tried to install Monero on my Mac using the official "getting started" site. After some errors from homebrew (brew doctor solved it), the installation went as expected

[GingerAle]

updated compile instructions can be found on the github https://github.com/monero-project/monero

Code:

[code][code]

Installation Instructions

As of 20160421, you can download released binaries and simply use them, no need to compile from source.

Code:

cd
mkdir monero_0904
cd monero_0904
wget https://downloads.getmonero.org/monero.linux.x64.v0-9-4-0.tar.bz2
tar -vxjf monero.linux.x64.v0-9-4-0.tar.bz2
./bitmonerod

Compiling Instructions

Crossposting here because compiling instructions keep on getting lost in our main ANN talk thread. There are general compile instructions on the github here:

https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero

Noobs and others! Welcome to Monero, the cryptocurrency thats kind of a real pain the ass to use because its truly volunteer open source development that takes a while and we're all drinking way too much coffee to have this kind of patience! Here, I provide instructions on how to compile the bleeding edge version of Monero in Linux - meaning, its still in testing. If you're interested in Monero to the extent to actually consider compiling, thats awesome - because you're probably more into the software cool technology part of this stuff as opposed to the dollas and cents. And if you're like me, you can't actually code - so your stuck in this place where all you can do is hope the price goes up and try ranting and raving about Monero anywhere you can.

Well no more! Now you're going to become a Monero Compiler! Compiling from the github repository gets you the latest, bleeding edge version of the software, so you can help find bugs and and otherwise test that everything works the way it should.

As of writing, the bleeding edge of Monero includes a LOT of features that the current binary releases do not have. The ones that I find important and interesting are: LMDB - a databased blockchain. This allows monero to run with 50 megs of RAM, which is awesome. Recently, there were some optimizations that allow really fast sync times. Additionally, there's been some fun wallet software updates, that include sweep dust and view-only wallets. There's probably a lot more that I'm missing, but I don't fully understand all that goes on. As I've said before, I'm just a dude - not a dev.

Warning - this compiles recent head, which should be considered experimental code - test before you trust! (i.e., send tiny amounts of money before using this code to send ALL your money. It's been working for everyone that uses it with little glitches here and there, but hey, if you find a bug, report the bug!!!)

NOTE: I can personally check compiling in Ubuntu as detailed below. If you are building in other systems, try mimicking the dependencies of the Ubuntu instructions. I will try to keep these up to date (compiling head is a moving target due to development)

REGARDING BLOCKCHAIN BOOTSTRAPS:  As of 20150906, the bootstraps available on the getmonero.org website are from the old in-memory version. Thus, they are not immediately compatible with this version you are about to compile. There is a way to convert one to the other. The recommended order is blockchain_export, followed by blockchain_import. Honestly, I would suggest just synchronizing from the network. It will probably take just as long as doing the conversions.

There is a more in depth tutorial made by Antanst here:
https://antanst.com/blog/2015/05/22/how-to-set-up-a-monero-node-in-ubuntu-14.04/

If you get no errors, you're ready to start the daemon and begin syncing the blockchain.

Code:

cd build/release/bin
./bitmonerod

If the timestats are annoying (this was for optimization), you can add --show-time-stats 0

Open another Terminal window. Now you can run simplewallet and start using Monero!

Code:

./simplewallet

Have you been thinking it's “Way too hard to acquire these Monero Bucks”?

A Step By Step Guide to Compiling Monero on OSX:

I've noticed an increase of people wanting to compile the latest code. While there are plenty of Linux resources I haven't seen many for OSX. Also, the bitmonero Github README points to instructions that install an older release, which is not what you want.

The good thing is, the instructions are not much different from Linux, but if you're new to the command line this may be intimidating to figure out.

Just follow these instructions step by step in your Terminal and you'll be running in no time.

1. Install Homebrew.

Code:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

2. Install various packages needed to build the Monero daemon and wallet.

Code:

brew install git boost cmake libevent miniupnpc  pkg-config unbound

updated 12/25/2015 its a christmas miracle.

3. Clone the bitmonero repository to your computer using Git.

Code:

git clone https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero.git bitmonero

4.

Code:

cd bitmonero

5. Finally, compile the code.

Code:

make release

6. If you get no errors, you're ready to start the daemon and begin syncing the blockchain.

Code:

cd build/release/bin
./bitmonerod

7. Command+T to open another Terminal tab. Now you can run simplewallet and start using Monero!

Code:

./simplewallet

(thats saddambitcoins address, btw. Spread the monero! put more outputs on the blockchain!)

Archlinux and other rare variants,
as detailed here on one of these awesome i2p web URLs

http://cucjrcntebdskoljhpxj4xc3bmietslv7nfg5uy7itgrbgppcb6q.b32.i2p.us/arch.html

File a bug report using these steps:

1. Try to reproduce the bug. Some bugs are very glitchy in nature and won't reproduce easily, but try.
2. google a bit to see if this has been discovered already, or is known. Known bugs (as far as I'm aware) include:

A. sigfault on exit
B. daemon stall due to suspected dethreading (use print_cn when daemon has stalled, you will see two header rows)
C. funds get stuck in locked status - this can happen when you make a transaction in simplewallet when the daemon isn't syncronized. This can be rescued by regenerating your wallet.

3. Use this template to report your issue. At first, just report the bug here, and we can try to do some triage before filling the github with issues. If this thread becomes a mess, we can go straight to the github, try a triage thing on the forum.getmonero.org, or make a new moderated thread.

Operating System: windows 8.1, Ubuntu 15.0~, etc
Hardware details: system RAM, CPU information, free space on HD - e.g., 8 gigs RAM, AMD FX9590
Describe activity: e.g., I was mining on 3 threads and trying to make a 90 mixin transaction and all of a sudden my computer turned into a giant purple people eater
Commit: insert the commit #. this will allow people that are debugging to know which version of the software you compiled. When the daemon is running, type "help". At the top of this output, there will be something like "bitmonero v0.8.8.7-1737fec" The bolded part can be used to identify the commit. There are other, better ways to get the version info, but I forget them.


Okay, this should be a good starting point. I had made videos on how to compile in a linux virtual machine, but I need to redo them. if you follow part 1 of my virtual machine series (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upX2SOZXYnk), that will get you started with the virtual machine. You can then use the above commands in a terminal to start playing with compiling Monero.

edited 20150803 to add libboost1.55-all-dev to the dependency line for ubuntu install, might be redundant with libboost1.55-dev in there. Also added linux mint instructions.

edited 20150805 - shortened it to the libboost1.55-all-dev, but then added it back in.

Basically, if it throw errors, google the shit outta something and ask. Look below for AmericanPegasus's battle with Mint.

At one point I stopped citing people who contributed to figuring out various dependencies. Sorry! But if you look below you can see who figured out what. GODSPEED YOU MIGHTY COMPILER!

From the main ANN thread: If you have old Monero stuff on your PC, the newer builds can throw errors when you try to sync. See below to fix.

ok, it seems there is something indigestible for master wallet at this block height...
i give up, will come back in some months...

warptangent said this on irc last night, I just stumbled upon it:

<warptangent> about this issue, skunk could try removing the existing poolstate.bin file. most people running a client from last year onwards, without having cleared that file, probably have dangling key images (left over from txs no longer in the pool)  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.msg12055171#msg12055171
<warptangent> daemon I mean... bitmonerod

Also, you could try and state your question in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=652305.0

Hope that works!

STILL NOT SATISFIED? BUILD DEV!

Yes, its true. Monero core team is moving to a stable-ish source on the release branch, and a no holds-barred development branch. Currently on dev branch is zeroMQ. So if compiling a working Monero isn't satisfying your desire to watch your computer do cool things after you copy and paste commands into it (I COMMAND YOU COMPUTER!!), you can try your hand at the dev branch.

Do steps 1-3 to make sure you have the main dependencies required.

This will clone another copy of the git repository into the directory mondev

Code:

git clone https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero.git mondev

This will make your compilers and such use the development branch instead of the release branch

Code:

git checkout development

Key new dependency is new zeroMQ stuff, which can be installed by following the instructions provided here:
https://github.com/zeromq/czmq#using-czmq

when all thats done, make your way back to the mondev folder, then type

Code:

make debug

Now, this is probably best used on testnet at this point, so get to /build/debug/bin/, then enter

Code:

./bitmonerod --testnet

you'll have to play around with your ports because testnet uses 28080

Code:

sudo apt-get install libboost1.55-all-dev

...before it would compile for me.

Working now, though!

Thanks for the detailed post, GingerAle.

Wow, thanks for trying to make it easy for us newbies!  I'm running Mint Cinnamon 17.2 so it was a pleasant surprise to find your compiling instructions here without even having to ask. 
 
So starting out, I'm one million percent new to this, and tried the following command by Gingerale in my Linux Mint 17.2 terminal: 

sudo apt-get install git gcc-4.9 cmake libunbound2 libevent-2.0-5 libgtest-dev libboost1.55-dev libboost-system1.55-dev libboost-filesystem1.55-dev libboost-thread1.55-dev libboost-date_time1.55-dev libboost-chrono1.55-dev libboost-regex1.55-dev libboost-serialization1.55-dev libboost-program_options1.55-dev libunbound-dev build-essential libssl-dev libdb++-dev

 
 
All worked well, but four errors came up for the following two packages: 
 
E: Unable to locate package libboost-date_time1.55-dev
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libboost-date_time1.55-dev'
E: Unable to locate package libboost-program_options1.55-dev 
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libboost-program_options1.55-dev'   
 
So, being the resourceful and irresponsible person I am, I started throwing sudo commands around like Avarda Kevardas in a Harry Potter movie and stuff installed: 
 

sudo apt-get install libboost-program-options1.55-dev

sudo apt-get install libboost-date-time1.55-dev

 
 
Some stuff happened.  I hope it was supposed to happen. 
 
Moving on.

replace all the libboost1.55... crap in the apt-get install line with

libboost1.55-all-dev

EDIT: I see Melbustus pointed out the same thing above.

I don't know why the previous instructions specified a specific set of boost packages but that really makes things more fragile and isn't needed unless you are trying to fit the system onto the tiniest little device with minimal storage (and then good luck running a monero node). The default set of boost packages is fine.

Thanks for the response.  I've followed all the instructions and this is what I'm getting.  Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?  Running Linux Mint 17.2, a fresh install.  I followed all the commands to install all the packages previously.

apt-get install cmake

[americanpegasus]

apt-get install cmake

Ok, I used that command (ARE YOU ROOT?) and had to use it with sudo (I'm assuming it's because I have a user password on).  Afterwards "make" gives me a massive text dump upon trying to compile.

Any ideas what's going wrong?

ARE YOU ROOT?

No I just didn't mention the usual sudo

I'm not sure what is causing the "Internal CMake error"

Maybe that's something someone else has seen before, I have not.

EDIT: maybe you don't have the C++ modules installed for gcc?

I usually install build-essential, which pulls in all the compiler stuff needed.

Ok, well thanks for your help.  If anyone is curious it's a new compy, fresh install of Linux Mint 17.2, and after getting the internet up and running I went to the terminal and typed and executed all of the following commands, in this order: 

sudo apt-get install git gcc-4.9 cmake libunbound2 libevent-2.0-5 libgtest-dev libboost1.55-dev libboost-system1.55-dev libboost-filesystem1.55-dev libboost-thread1.55-dev libboost-date_time1.55-dev libboost-chrono1.55-dev libboost-regex1.55-dev libboost-serialization1.55-dev libboost-program_options1.55-dev libunbound-dev build-essential libssl-dev libdb++-dev

 
 
(Two of the libraries didn't install so i try them separately and proceed.)

sudo apt-get install libboost-program-options1.55-dev

sudo apt-get install libboost-date-time1.55-dev

 

git clone https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero.git 

 
 

cd bitmonero
make

 
 
ERROR 

(Ain't nobody got time for this.  Just fuapt-get install cmakeck me up Ubuntu.)
 

sudo apt-get install libboost1.55-all-dev 

 
 

make

 
 
ERROR 
 
(Apparently I need to install the thing that lets me make the thing.  Definitely *not* Linux masterracing right now) 
 

apt-get install cmake 

 
 

make

 
 
MOST RECENT ERROR 
 
It's a shame; I was looking forward to compiling and playing with the latest version.  Let me know if I can bug/newbie test anything else or help to try to understand why this is happening.

Ummmm, like I said,

 
 
I'll go Google how to install those.  Thanks for the suggestion.

I just installed this: http://community.linuxmint.com/software/view/build-essential
which sadly did not fix the problem.  Attempting to compile still gives the same mega-error. 
 
Let me google some stuff about installing c++ modules prior to trying to compile? 
 
Is it possible that there's some basic n00b step I haven't done?  Remember, I've done nothing but what I said.  Fresh OS install, set up a firewall, added a wireless network, and started playing around with terminal.
