where can I download the official wallet with graphics I mean not that console thing. It's very confusing for me on your website I beg your pardon. how to use?

There is no official GUI. There are two unofficial GUIs.

Unofficial downloads and links

GUI
All current GUIs are in beta, but they should be fairly safe to use because they work through bitmonerod and simplewallet from the main code.

• Qt GUI (Cross-platform) by Neozaru
• Windows GUI by Jojatekok

oh thanks for the rapid answer! but I dont know how to use this if it has no graphics.  why no official real wallet? like that who can use it? Cause I dont trust third party apps.

An official GUI is being developed but is a while off. The technology became available (from the cryptonote reference code) without a GUI.  The third party apps are open source and were sponsored in large part by members of the core team. So while caution is always advised I don't see a major problem with trusting them (other than that new software can always have bugs -- backup often).

ok thanks smooth
you should absolutely write that on the website too man it helped a lot
idk the website has too much codes and something its too cool and nerdy for simple guys like me^^
I kinda like one click and works magic style , bitcoin was ok

After starting bitmonerod.exe it synchronizes with the network for some time till it tells me that it is synchronized and I can start up simplewallet.exe

You can try deleting/moving your binary wallet file (default name wallet.bin) and just keep your keys file (wallet.bin.keys), and then let simplewallet rebuild the binary file. If you're moving a wallet file from 32-bit to 64-bit this can definitely be an issue, also moving from *nix to windows I think.

Just letting others know,
I had a similar problem, everything worked well up until 8.8.2,  windows 7 64, this above helped to resolve it with one of my wallets, another wallet seemed to open but wouldn't handshake with the daemon, tried deleting everything but the wallet keys, saving, reopening bitmonerod, no spaces..etc. nothing. Again some wallets seemed to work, but some reason this one not.

Restarted computer. worked.  Try that if yours isn't working for whatever reason. Explanation, I have none. I don't think it was port or antivirus related.

Have a problem after updating to v0.8.8.2(0.1-g1b8a68f)
running win7 x64

Used v0.8.8.1.1(0.1-g3b887de) till yesterday and it synced fine.
After the upgrade the daemon does not sync. I could neither exit the cmd nor kill it with task manager (!).
Have to make a hard shutdown with the pc... which makes me a little upset.

As far as I can tell from what you posted it was syncing. You just need to wait for it to finish.

[PVmining]

it only seems to sync. but there is no traffic on the inet connection and nothing happens for a longer time.
and i never had the problem to close the daemon before.

I also deleted the p2pstate, blockchain, etc. for a test.
Right after the daemon tries to create the genesis block... but nothing happens.
no new blockchains etc.

I wouldn't have deleted blockchain right away (you'll have to download it all again now), but you should still be able to sync. Are you sure you don't have any network connectivity problems? Hardware or software firewall configuration maybe?

How does one convert the 24 word seed into the hexadecimal number it represents? Can the hexidecimal # be entered in simplewallet instead of the 24 word seed to restore a wallet?

You can't without a program. You have to use --restore-deterministic to create a new wallet using the seed and it will give you the address.

In theory it is possible to create a standalone program (that doesn't exist AFAIK) to generate the address from a seed, but you wouldn't ever want to do this on a web site for example, because you would also be revealing your private keys.

I think that smoothie is looking for a way to compactly represent the seed for inscription in a physical monero coin.

Yes we discussed that. Ultimately you don't need the words but you do need some way to store 256 bits.

Anyone tried to mine with any of the new intel CPU`s and DDR4 RAM?
Would be interesting to know what number of hashes they would deliver.

[mmortal03]

1.) I noticed that the default data directory for bitmonerod.exe on Windows, according to the help output, is C:\ProgramData\bitmonero.
Shouldn't it be %HOMEPATH%\AppData\Roaming\bitmonero?

2.) Is there no exit command for bitmonerod.exe anymore when running it as a process (not a service)? Edit: bitmonerod stop_daemon
