Monero Support

[gkv9]

hi .  
monero good for invest ?

It's a technical support thread and not about asking whether it's good or not to invest in it...
You should check for other threads in speculation section here --> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=753252.0
and you might find your answer...

I've downloaded the blockchan on my other HD location.
And its SYNCED with the network.

I already made my wallet account.

This morning i opened it and its doing a refresh, but is it normal that it takes so long ?
And will it takes this long every time i open my wallet?

after you sync you need or to use command "save" or before you close use command "exit". if you just close deamon it dont save it. Maybe this was changed lately. But i think this might be you problem.

The first time you sync a wallet it takes some time.  After that it will sync from the point you saved it.  The command "exit" will save before it exits.

Hey,

1.) Where can I download the full data.mbd? and what is the current size please?

2.) Somewhere I red that blockchain for linux is different from the blockchain for windows, can someone explain it to me please?

1 - nobody really provides the data file for download. You can get the blockchain.raw file from https://downloads.getmonero.org/blockchain.raw and import it using monero-blockchain-import. Currently the blockchain.raw file is around 3GB and the data.mdb file is around 8.2GB.

2 - that used to be true. In v0.10.0 the data.mdb file is identical across all platforms.

does anyone know the fastest way to sync on ubuntu 16.04. This is extremely frustrating.

Fiddled with this a long time ago. I use

Code:

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

doesn't seem secure to connect only one peer, but it syncs really fast

EDIT: sorry, saw all the other replies. Will leave this here anyway.

You're very clearly missing the files to link OpenSSL and Boost libraries.

Does XMR have some working frameworks which make it possible to integrate a deposit/withdraw function to a homepage/system?

Something like that would make it very easy for site owners to integrate XMR payment methods. I saw a request at wikileaks for example. Moreover it would be good to suggest such a framework to some other darknet markets so that they just can add this feature like plug and play without much efforts.

Thanks

I want to export the blockchain to a usb flash drive.  I  am using linux.  The path to the flash drive is /media/a/Transcend/
Will this work?

Code:

monero-blockchain-export --output-file /media/a/Transcend/

Use an actual filename for --output-file, not a directory name.

Hi

What is the fastest way to sync on Mac OSX?
I seems to take ages.
Monerod has been running for quite some time and still +850 days behind...

Thanks

there has been discussion further above.

try something like this:
