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.

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

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).

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?

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

You need to run it from DOS, it works fine.

I'm not quite following. What is the problem here. It looks like it synced up to me. Is it not synced?

The problem is that simplewallet.exe shuts down the nanosecond it finishes syncing. Bitmonero.exe keeps running without complaint, but I cant access my wallet this way.

That's odd. Nothing in the log file would indicate a failure. Are you still using a script to start it? How about starting it directly, without the script?

My guess is that it is still finding a bin file somewhere. Post the log file again from simplewallet (redacting private stuff is fine, only the messages are important).

I dont really have any other ideas. Did you try to make another wallet and see if it works? I am asking on IRC to check for a fix...

This is not really accurate. Whether you find a share is random. So if you raise diff from 1000 to 2000 and your average shares drops from 5 to 2.5, you will sometimes submit 2 but sometimes 3, on average (of course other numbers are also possible -- this is just an illustration). Those times when you submit 3, you will get 6/15 of the reward, which is higher than 1/3. It averages out. But your rewards will be more volatile (sometimes 2 sometimes 3).

Quote from: netmonk on August 31, 2014, 02:00:39 PM

yes there is a difference.

In fact you have to submit validshare in the limited time of validity (before getting new job).

So for a given hashrate power there is a maximum diff which will let you submit your work before beeing too late.

The reward will be calculated like this : (sum(all your submitted share diff)*reward)/sum(all submitted share diff)

So if for exemple you submitted 5 valid share at 1000 diff, and in the same time another miner submitted 1 validshare at 10000 diff, your reward will be
(5000)*reward/15000: 1/3 reward.

Bit if you raise the diff to 2000 and its too big for your computer and only submit 2 valid share your reward will be 4/15 of rewards which is less than 1/3.

So if you read your log and see that pool reject some of your share, it means the diff is too big for your computer and then must be lowered.

And if you think continue the analysis, you can also understand that sometime raising a little the diff is not so efficient. Given the fact that you will may be have more rejected share.

is there any difference of profit between low diff and high diff ? #same hardware in this case.

You mean at pools? Generally no. Pools will find optimal diff for your miners after some time. If you have really low end miners just use low diff.

yes, at pools. but how about pools with static diff ? if we choose diff for default hardware, it will keep on default hardware.
