Known malware link spam - not that many would download/execute, but stay away folks! Reported you, asshole.

but then the computer hangs and the changes to the blockchain do not appear to be saved. I've reluctant to leave it running for 2 days to sync the blockchain only to find nothing gets saved at the end!

It will save every 12 hours independent of shutting down. You can also force a save on demand with the "save" command.

This doesn't even yet get into the simple wallet. How does it work? Wheres the instructions ?

Im pretty sure there are "getting started" guides around but in any case there is a --help option on the command line and a "help" command once you are in the wallet.

I really want to like monero but the barriers to entry seem huge almost to the point of me giving up.

First off there is no 32 bit linux version. Despite this being a major annoyance to me I've changed my OS to a 64 bit version. This hasn't got me much further though. I'm not a linux noob btw.

I'm trying to run the latest stable version which is 0.8.8.6 After several annoyances with dependencies with libboost i finally can start up bitmonerod

I am still unable to sync the blockchain though.

Firstly I've tried downloading the latest copy (currently about 4.2 G) but download keeps failing and I can't resume and have to start again. Can there not be a torrent or something ?

So instead I try syncing from scratch. Initially it said I am about 481 days behind. However I've tested exiting the daemon and found that regularly doesn't shutdown cleanly which results in all the syncing of that session lost.

I see message

'Stop signal sent'

but then the computer hangs and the changes to the blockchain do not appear to be saved. I've reluctant to leave it running for 2 days to sync the blockchain only to find nothing gets saved at the end!

This doesn't even yet get into the simple wallet. How does it work? Wheres the instructions ?

I am not going to buy monero until I can hold off exchange.

If you want to know why monero price is stagnant, I think these are the reasons .

The release binaries suck. Compile from source. A good starting point is in my signature. (page 11 of this thread).

Genuinely, follow his sig and you will have totally different experience. No mess with boost 1.54 and master branch is ridiculously further along than release. No need to bootstrap. It tempts me to put on tinfoil hat when wondering about whether some barriers to entry are not tackled intentionally, but that is always denied with sound logic.

No conspiracy, just continued testing and refinement. If you check the recent commits there are still edge cases being addressed. When it is ready it will be epic. For now it is just epic for people willing to test on the bleeding edge.

Running v 9 beta on Windows 7 SP1 64 bit and I've gotten a couple of crashes during initial blockchain download. With default logging, here's the last state:

As the stinging in the child's cheeks subsided and the basketball bounced from his face to the floor, a chorus of laughter erupted from those who had thrown it.  "Who reads a book in gym class!" yelled one of them, and for a brief moment the child considered that maybe he had made poor choices in life and was doomed to an existence consisting exclusively of this.  But lo, and behold, the clouds parted and a voice from the future spake.  To the amazement of the child, it appeared that he alone could hear it.  
  
"Do not worry my son, and let them enjoy their moment in their own sun.  For I have seen the future, and it is the nerds that shall inherit the Earth.  Now get your shit together and compile the source."  
  
"What source?  What do you mean?" he said to the air of the classroom.  The one who had thrown the basketball thought the child was responding to him, and made a confused and insulting gesture which only brought more guffaws from the class.  
  
"That's enough questions!" bellowed the voice and vanished entirely.  
  
Months, years, and decades passed.  The trials of school faded to trials of adulthood, but the child always kept that advice with him, waiting for the day when it would be relevant.  
  
Today is that day.  
  
Compile the fucking source.

Maybe by "crash" he meant that it got stuck and stopped making progress syncing? That is one issue we have seen elsewhere.

I got 2 crashes during the initial sync but once that was finished bitmonerod ran stable for ~ 24 hours without issue. I renamed data.mdb and restarted bitmonerod to try to recreate the problem. Just happened below.

One non-default setting for windows 7 - I have DEP for all programs enabled. Going to try to put that to default and see if it has any impact. Any logging level that I should turn up? I can also run procdump if that's helpful.

Note: you might prefer to use --data-dir to specify different directories when running tests, without having to share the same directory and rename files.

Running with --log-level 2 or even 3 would be helpful. That's a lot of output, but it will be saved to bitmonero.log. Its last parts could be pasted to pastebin.

It's too bad the specific exception on crash isn't being shown though. It is on Linux and OS X, and I thought it does on Windows too. If you're using a version you compiled yourself, recompiling with debugging, and running bitmonerod from a MinGW-w64 shell might show the exception upon crash, but I'm not sure.

• Thanks - using the --data-dir is a better method of testing.
• I'm testing again with --log-level 3 - so far bitmonerod runs flawlessly once caught up and synced but the initial download/verification of the chain tends to crash at least twice. Hopefully I'll catch some info this time.
• I'm running the pre-compiled binary on Win7 64 SP1 - haven't had the time to recompile yet

happy to continue testing, if this is helpful

It has synchronized perfectly but I have an issue. When I type the extit command, the window doesn't close, Here is what happens

 

   You are now synchronized with the network. You may now start simplewallet.

    Please note, that the blockchain will be saved only after you quit the daemon with "exit" command or if you use "save" command. Otherwise, you will possibly need to synchronize the blockchain again.
    Use "help" command to see the list of available commands.

    Save command
 

2015-Aug-21 21:48:12.711828 Blockchain stored OK, took: 1461 ms

    Exit command

2015-Aug-21 21:48:15.868391 [node] Stop signal sent

2015-Aug-21 21:48:19.696808 [SRV_MAIN]p2p net loop stopped

And the window stays this way untill I force it to close

I'm running monero whith this command

bitmonerod.exe --data-dir D:\XMR\blockchain

My machine:

there's your problem . It goes tits up.

joke aside: I have the same issue on linux. First I thought it might be waiting for something to gracefully quit, but I'm ending up killing the process after some minutes.

I was playing a bit with the daemon to reproduce this, the one time I stumbled upon it I typed exit again and it gracefully quit.

difficult exits have been a persistent problem with all of the non-release builds.

Typing exit twice works ok 
Thank you

@Ginger Ale, I've had a go at compiling the Monero code as you suggested a few pages back in this thread and and by using the instructions in your sig. Assuming latest version of code is best ?

I am hitting a problem which is after about 90% of the way through compiling after typing 'make' I get a fatal error like this

[ 89%] Building CXX object tests/unit_tests/CMakeFiles/unit_tests.dir/blockchain_db.cpp.o

Wondered if you have any pointers how to get past that ?

There are some binary files in my bin folder but I prefer to see everything compile properly before trying them..

Thanks
