around 70000 blocks a day is quite slow, right?

How to speed up?

[propcorn]

the best way to speed up may be download the raw blockchain and import it after.. getmonero.org use to have it avaliable, dont know if it is now...
With SSD the sync is very fast

[GingerAle]

a way to speedup is

monerod --out-peers 1 --p2p-bind-ip 127.0.0.1 --db-sync-mode fast:async:1000 --add-exclusive-node node.moneroworld.com

you can also select from some geographically tagged nodes, which you use in place of node.moneroworld.com

https://moneroworld.com/#nodes

after your sync, though, please please please remove all of these flags. There's no need to have them.

Unfortunately, not likely. You're going to have to delete the LMDB folder and resync.

Next time, after the daemon finishes syncing, you should stop it and restart with "--db-sync-mode safe"

In a future release I'd like to patch the daemon to switch into safe mode automatically after it finishes syncing.

Hello,

I need some help to recover my monero wallet. Last time I used it, it was... in 2014. I used the monero client developped by Jojatekok, MoneroX, as you know this client doesn't have any support since 2016. 
I still can open my wallet on this client, I can see my balance but the client can't connect to the network after the support was stopped.
So, I still have 3 files : wallet.bin - wallet.bin.address - wallet.bin.keys

I downloaded monero-wallet-gui and put the files in, I opened wallet.bin.key with this client (monero-wallet-gui) but the problem is... the client ask me for a password. 
I never used any password when I used my wallet on the old client and it never asked me to create one so I'm confused. I don't know what to do now... I am desperate to get back my +25 moneros. 

I tried with monero-wallet-cli, same issue, I need to put a password. I tried to just press "enter" but doesn't work.

I asked myself about "what if I forgot my password ?" so I created a new wallet with moneroX (the old client). No password created with the wallet, he just instant created it and opened it. So, I moved the new .keys and tried to open the new wallet i just created, with gui and cli but still the same issue, I need to put a password but I don't have it...

This confirmed that I'm 100% sure I never had a password for my wallet.

Do you have any ideas ?

Thank you and have a nice day !

Make a copy of the files. Move the wallet.bin and wallet.bin.address from the folder (only the .keys file stays). The password it asks is the NEW password you are giving to your wallet and not an old one. If this is not the case you could get some assistance in freenode - #monero or #monero-dev channels.

I was thinking the same at the beginning but the client ask me for a password to unlock the wallet. 
Ok thanks, I will check freenode to get some assistance.

Hey,

i downloaded  https://downloads.getmonero.org/blockchain.raw  and imported it.

Now i started monerod and it is steel 43days behind and doesn't sync.

It showed me 1220521 -> 1253282, but now shows

SYNCHRONIZED OK but

only 1220521 blocks are sync.

How can i sync all the blocks up to current block 1253282 please?

To me when i open GUI it starting syncing blockchain as in any other coin.  You imported block chain so should sync from last block in that blockchain on.

[dusko3358]

That is the last output:

but current block is not 1220521..

How to speed up?

In this post by you (where you posted contents of your terminal), it looks like you pasted the line

bitmonerod --out-peers 1 --p2p-bind-ip 127.0.0.1 --db-sync-mode fast:async:1000

into the terminal while bitmonerod was already running. Then it wont have any effect.

Instead, you should start an empty terminal with a shell (on windows: start -> execute program -> cmd). This should give you a prompt waiting for your commands. Thats when you start bitmonerod by entering the command above.

Then it will be fast.

I'm running linux 64 bit 10.1.0 and I just downloaded the 10.2.1 update.  Now how do I update the program?

Open a terminal and go to the directory where you downloaded monero-linux-x64-v0.10.2.1.tar.bz2
Optional, but recommended: check the sha256 of the file with this:

Code:

sha256sum monero-linux-x64-v0.10.2.1.tar.bz2

The output should match 9edba6ca91c35c6c2eb6816f9342931c88648de5beb471943ea63d0b16c9a2e4
Unzip the file with

Code:

tar -xf monero-linux-x64-v0.10.2.1.tar.bz2

Now you have the directory containing the latest programs (binaries). Go into that directory and use this to open the daemon (to sync the blockchain):

Code:

./monerod

If you're updating from a previous version of Monero, and if you've had the node running, the sync should take a few minutes at most. While that's happening, you can either create a new wallet or copy your existing wallet into the new directory. To run your wallet, open another terminal where the wallet file is located and:

Code:

./monero-wallet-cli --wallet-file [nameOfYourWalletFileHere,withoutBrackets]

Thanks.  I'm clear now on the basics.  It's just a new version of the daemon, everything else stays the same, my lmdb and wallet files etc.
What I did was extract 2.1 in a new folder and then just copied my wallet files into the new folder.  Everything runs good.
It's nice to have competent people putting out good software.  It's amazing how much room for improvement there is even after all this time.
Cryptonote started out so crippled that it's almost like evolving a new life form.

[HashZilla]

I have downloaded the Windows x64 gui wallet but when I run the monero-wallet-gui.exe, the splash screen is a blank white borderless windows and stops there.

It doesn't even register on the Task manager as a functioning application.

Is this normal?

Monerod seems to work, it's syncing the blockchain to \bitmonero.

(Acer laptop, W7 x64: The Linux Gui wallet works fine on the Ubuntu partition.)

Personally I just use monerod. Always worked and I'm used to.
