I'm trying to make view only wallet as descibed here https://getmonero.org/knowledge-base/user-guides/how%20to%20create%20a%20view%20only%20walletBut get error. I use v0.9 beta (Windows) and checked my viewkey and address twice. It is test wallet and empty, so I copy entire command simplewallet --generate-from-view-key a353b6a4e8670358d91eb50cf92eb10a387559fdc2c1bf5b9782b4e6eaf5ef02:42FDb8mWjhMK1jTDtfiA42eXt7cktA6tAQZn1zmQ2AG5Lx8i7WhBMaEGKrPeuh1cW8gRS3StdyEbwbTvtpPLwMwQEj7pqF7:1234 For some reason simplewallet ask me for password. I thought entire reason behind view only wallet is that I don't need to enter wallet password. But maybe that not password from the wallet I'm asked for. Anyway after entering password I get Error: Failed to parse address And in simplewallet.log I found 2015-Oct-22 16:12:28.868532 ERROR C:/msys64/bitmonero-build/src/simplewallet/simplewallet.cpp:1965 Failed to initialize wallet windows version? yes your creating a new password for your new view only wallet. have you tried this with different address viewkey combinations?

windows version?
yes your creating a new password for your new view only wallet.
have you tried this with different address viewkey combinations?
Windows 7x64 I'm pretty sure first time i created wallet by mistake in v0.86 and tried to "import" it in v0.9. But seems problem is somewhere else. I created another new wallet in 0.9 get it address and viewkey and tried to create view only wallet in 0.9 but get the same error. simplewallet --generate-from-view-key d92bc96312dffdf0c7ff75bff5f8a0f1480465f12829527503a30701d497f00e:44dRmx68MxQ9LGnYho7QroEPwdAgkmogZhy51UeuD14qWaq56iY4o2JDqfQATLt2UobFnLSFwDUE5RZPkgfs7Pb8K22wp5b:1234 I'm using v0.9 from your signature (download it a couple weeks ago and not aware if it was updated), but simplewallet actually says v0.8.8.7-7792255 if it matters.

Sucks that it doesn't work - I can't see anything that would make it not work .. i was looking for extra spaces or whatever. Hopefully moneromoo or luigi111 follows this thread, as they would probably have the best insight. Although the best answer is to probably use new binaries, but they don't exist yet, but SOON! oh testnet fork, where art though.

actually, try loading the wallet normally, then save the keys file with save_watch_only, then try creating a watch only wallet with what you described above.

Thanks Saddam (never imagined saying that ). It seems to sync, awesome! Had to make a few adjustments to step 2, steps edited for other Linux noobs: 1. download binaries: wget https://downloads.getmonero.org/monero.linux.x64.v0-9-0-0.tar.bz22a. create directory: mkdir bitmonero (the below tar command could not create the directory by itself)2b. extract: tar -xjvf monero.linux.x64.v0-9-0-0.tar.bz2 -C bitmonero (had to add the .bz2 extension as well)3. cd bitmonero 4. ./bitmonerod Since it is this easy, I would really like someone to update getmonero.org. There are probably more that would like to support the Monero network while having little Linux knowledge.

Changed the order a bit because of issues unpacking (Ubuntu worked fine) with Debian directly in the user directory: 1. mkdir bitmonero (creates directory)2. cd bitmonero (navigates into the bitmonero directory)3. wget https://downloads.getmonero.org/monero.linux.x64.v0-9-0-0.tar.bz2 (downloads the Monero binaries)4. tar -xjvf monero.linux.x64.v0-9-0-0.tar.bz2 (extracts the Monero binaries)5. ./bitmonerod (starts the Monero daemon)6. Open TCP port 18080 in the VPS firewall to allow incoming connections Now all I have to figure out how to keep bitmonerod running while exiting the SSH session Amazing note btw, it only takes 6-8 hours to entirely sync from scratch with v0.9.

The absolute easiest way to keep bitmonerod running while disconnecting from SSH is screen. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-screen-on-an-ubuntu-cloud-server

Node fully up and running, thanks for the support and the updated user-guide! forks the process into background/blob/master/knowledge-base/user-guides/vps_run_node.md How do I give the daemon commands while it runs in the background? I can't seem to get it into the foreground again (would like to run the command 'status' once in a while and do a controlled exit properly saving the blockchain).

Personally I use screen (similar to tmux) instead of --detach

Or at least in linux when I used the --rpc-bind-ip flag as well. but I assume that doesn't change things. You can also just do bitmonerod diff or bitmonerod print_height . Those still work.

Wow, I wish I got this kind of support while contacting my bank . Thanks guys. Proud supporter of the Monero network now + I learned a bit about VPS servers and Linux. ./bitmonero status does not seem to work indeed: # ./bitmonerod status Creating the logger system Error: Couldn't connect to daemon Fortunately the ./bitmonerod save or exit command does work: # ./bitmonerod save Creating the logger system Blockchain saved # ./bitmonerod exit Creating the logger system Stop signal sent Not sure yet about the screen program. It works nicely having multiple screens in one SSH session, but I assume when quitting the SSH session it quits the bitmonerod daemon running in the foreground as well.

No! Screen sessions continue after you log out (or are unexpectedly disconnected).

Yeah, after trying --detach for a bit on VPS I do find myself missing the freedom of being able to go into the daemon if needed. Especially if I'm already using tmux for managing multiple simplewallet accounts, might as well.
--detach is nice if you are running a node on your local computer and just want to start it up and forget about it.
Will update the VPS guide to include the other methods.
