Monero Support

[smooth]

I don't see how the modem can be busted. It works totally fine otherwise, right up to the moment I start up bitmonerod. Nothing else has caused me problems like this. (Including syncing blockchains from other cryptos) But I am struggling to understand how this can be happening, Its very odd for sure.

edit: I tried recompiling with latest code but no difference.. Surprised I'm the only one to discover this problem. Anyway ,  maybe i'll investigate some lightweight clients or something but I'm not going to go any further trying to get the daemon to run.  

Did you try the --no-igd option

If the UPNP support is compiled in, usually there is a way to turn it off at runtime

That's --no-igd in Monero.

Sorry if this is covered somewhere (haven't read much)...  but is there any way to unlock balances?

thnx   

It will unlock its self u just need to wait.

Which ports if any do I need to forward on my router to a machine running a monero node?

[GingerAle]

18080

but your router might already be forwarding due to upnp magic.. some plug and play thing. But manually setting it never hurt anyone.

also be sure to open that up in your firewall.

windows, make your way to windows firewall

ubuntu,

sudo ufw allow 18080

[akaman]

18080
sudo ufw allow 18080

Thanks. My router and firewall has been opened, but I still get this error when running bitmonerod:

Code:

What could I be missing? bitmonerod was compiled from the current Github source.

Monero is a digital currency that is secure, private, and untraceable.

Lol.

Yeah Baby ... Googled for Monery? Surprise ...

I have compiled monero from source and am running a full node under Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS. The machine hosting the node sits behind a router. The node started OK, and was syncing for a while. Now, the deamon exits every few seconds with these messages showing up in log files:

Is this a networking issue, or is the UPnP warning irrelvant?

Anyone here that runs a node under Ubuntu, who compiled from source recently?

[box0214]

can someone explain to me whats the rave about monero? last i heard there isn't even a gui for it and everything is command line? but it seems to have alot of user buzz around it. was monero made by one of the bitcoin core devs?

i have a similar node setup (ubuntu 14.04.3) and literally just recompiled from source last night and its running fine. If you haven't yet, this might be a good candidate for higher tier support, irc #monero-dev or to paste the output of set_log 3 to a pastebin and report it on the monero github issues.

so, while the thing is running in that loop, you should be able to type in set_log 3 ... the log will become very verbose.

Thanks for the pointer. Ran with log level 3 but nothing bad is thrown up in the logs. The last thing that happens before the deamon silently exits is this:

Assuming the node is completely syncronized, it should still be running and not exit. Correct?

Yes absolutely. It should not exit unless you use the exit command (or control-C, etc.)

There is clearly something going wrong here, but not clear what. Anything in your system logs? In some cases the process can be killed by the kernel if the system is short on virtual memory.

It is a dedicated machine, with 8 GB RAM and lots of HDD space. Resources should not be an issues.

Thanks for pointing me to syslog. This shows up:

Lots of updates to my post, and testnet dev branch fun -

So if you checkout my growing post on pg 11 (linked in my signature), and here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=652305.msg12033096#msg12033096

You can see I've been adding a lot. Its not all my work, mind you, but I'm trying to make a single repository of all the compile instructions. I also included instructions to compile the new dev branch, which includes the new zeroMQ thing, which is the best thing in crypto since slided bread because decentralized awesomeness.

So, if you want to play around with testnet, here's some coinz. Use the simplewallet to restore from seed. Here's the seed.

Code:

 circle oyster omission bemused napkin pruned violin sapling pancakes firm jerseys taunts usual silk rounded agony rally twofold mailed identity seeded licks torch upload pruned 

Have fun! Note, mind you, at the time of writing, the development branch daemon cannot accept text commands. Simplewallet can still communicate to the daemon though. And you can still pass flags to the daemon when you start it up.

DON'T FORGET YOUR TESTNET FLAGS! When running the development stuff, use --testnet

[GingerAle]

I need help!
When you open the wallet writes:

v0.8.8.6 is really old. Test binaries are out for the new beta.

Though you might not want to use beta software for whatever reason. If thats the case, lets troubleshoot. What version of Windows are you running?

Typing exit twice works ok 
Thank you

hmmm, repeating the same thing and expecting a different result... that's... the definition of insanity?

yes, yes, of course. It's not the same thing ;-).

Coinjoin and coinshuffle are simultaneous mixing. Everyone who is mixing has to be doing so at the same time, and they have to find each other somehow (for example joinmarket uses IRC). It is possible for people to sabotage the mixing by refusing to sign or by padding the mixing set with a bunch of allegedly independent people who are all actually the same attacker (Sybil attack).

Cryptonote is not simultaneous; you mix with all transactions that have ever happened. You don't need cooperation to complete the transaction so no one can sabotage it. Sybil attacks are still possible, but much more difficult because you have to pad the entire transaction history not just the available mixing partners for some period of time (maybe even just a few minutes, if you have a specific target in mind). Cryptonote also includes stealth addresses in its privacy system, which are not part of coinjoin/coinshuffle, although it is possible for wallets to do both (DarkWallet was doing stealth+coinjoin on Bitcoin although I understand that the DarkWallet project has been abandoned).
