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.

Hi,

I just downloaded the latest version for Windows 64bit (v0.8.8.2) and pasted it over my older v0.8.5 install.

I left everything else in the folder, including my wallet.bin and wallet.bin.keys files (which I called "mein_wallet.bin" and "mein_wallet.bin.keys").

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
When I do, it synchronizes as well until it reaches the last block and shuts itself down with out warning. Restarting simplewallet.exe yields the same result.

This is the simplewallet.log print out:

Code:

Ok, I made some progress: In order to start up simplewallet.exe I made a shortcut of it, already containing the parameters like "--wallet-file=mein_wallet.bin", etc. I forgot to change the path in the shortcut's target field to the correct install directory of Monero, so it was looking for the .keys file in the wrong folder all the time (the folder where I unzipped the update in originally). Now the .keys file is found correctly and my account can be accessed but only for the fraction of a second after starting up simplewallet.exe because it shuts itself down right after catching up to the blockchain and I cant do anything there. The simplewallet.log reads:

Now that the terminology has been changed from "wallet" to "account", this breaks readability of old wallet.bin files, correct? How does one convert a wallet.bin to an account.bin?

I don't think so, you can rename your wallet .bin file to anything you want. Doesn't have to be wallet.bin

Yes the files can be renamed but rename all three of them. Alternatively use --wallet to specify the file name.

Hmm, okay, must be something broken in the newest version of the .NET GUI, then. I tried renaming all three of them and tried to load them in the newest version of the .NET GUI (supposedly you can't create wallets with the latest version but it can still read them) and it would crash. I'll go mention it in the other thread.

Hi, I'd like to ask how much time does it takes to install the official wallet?

Sometimes it shows that there are some problems and errors, is it ok?

But what shows the show_hr command, Hashes or kH?

Sorry, again stupid Question: Maybe it´s not efficient with my macbook, but how do I start mining?
I tried "start_mining [1]" and "start_mining [<1>]" as quoted in Wallet help file, but both returned "invalid arguments". If I try to start simple miner directly it´s stopped immediately.

Remove '[', ']', '<' and '>' ('start_mining N' where the number N depends on your processor). This way you'll be solo mining and you'll protecting the network, but it could take a long time for you to solo mine a block (may be weeks, months or years depending on your hash rate, number of PC's you are mining on and your luck). If you want a tiny, but regular mining income you should mine in a pool - you should download one of the CPU miners available, chose a pool to connect to and start mining for the pool. Most of the pools have links to a mining software and all of them have instructions how to start the mining process.

Type

start_mining 1

in the wallet

This will mine with one thread. Depending on model of MacBook you might want to use more threads for better performance (though this may slow down other computer usage). Experiment. You can check your hash rate in the daemon window with show_hr (hide_hr to stop it).

Thats what I want to do, but which one is it?
There are lots of *.h and *.cpp files, but no *.app or *.sh

Sorry, too stupid. Now I found it. It was installed to the Dowloads Folder, I wasn´t looking there...

Go to the folder where you installed the programs and run bitmonerod and simplewallet programs.

Just tried to install Monero on my Mac using the official "getting started" site.

After some errors from homebrew (brew doctor solved it), the installation went as expected.
So i typed:
cd ~/bitmonero/build/release/src && ./simplewallet --generate-new-wallet wallet.bin

and got an error:
No such file or directory

So I looked it up, src was not in /release but in /bitmonero. So changed it to:
cd ~/bitmonero/src && ./simplewallet --generate-new-wallet wallet.bin

And it returned:
./simplewallet: is a directory

So i tried a bit forth and back, but my "coding skills" are just copy and paste...
Can anyone help me with this?

Did you follow these instructions?

"Mac

Requires OS X Mavericks (10.9). Please note: this is not Wolf's miner, but LucasJones' which is less powerful.

Install Homebrew package manager for OS X
Add repository: brew tap sammy007/cryptonight
Build wallet: brew install --HEAD bitmonero
Build minerd: brew install --HEAD cpuminer-multi
"

Of course I did.

But not have a deposit Poloniex!
please return them to my deposit Bittrex!
Thank you!

Sometimes, you need to wait an hour before you see the deposit on poloniex.

Poloniex answer:
Hi ruslan4040,

I am going to escalate your ticket to Tristan, and he will look into it.

Here is instruction on how to deposit and withdraw crypto-note coins.

You will need a "deposit address" and the "payment id" to withdraw from exchange to exchange. That will be available on the balances page on poloniex.com or the balances page of the exchange you want to send to.

You cannot send from an exchange to an exchange or pool to an exchange,unless they have the option to add the "payment id". If they do not have "Payment Id" option, you must send it to your wallet first and then to the exchange from your wallet.

Withdrawing From Exchange to Wallet
Please go to your balance page and put your wallet address to withdraw crypto-note.

Depositing Crypto-note to exchange from wallet
To deposit Crypto-note to exchange from your wallet You will need to use the format below:
transfer 0 DepositAddress amountofcoin PaymentID

This must be exact. It is a good idea to copy and paste this from a notepad.

To retrieve the transaction id (TxID) for crypto-note coins, you can access it from the logfile in the wallet directory.Find the exact transaction id for the transaction you are missing in Poloniex, you can use the block explorer to find the correct transaction: https://minergate.com/blockchain/mro/blocks

It will look like this, example:
Money successfully sent, transaction <08d27cd721732ee49eac8a63334c65384407aa8c43d9606b862fc754c5d4e51b>

Sending crypto-note coins the wrong way, is a very easy way to permanently lose your coin. When coins are sent incorrectly, and require recovery, there is never a guarantee that your coins will be recovered.

Best regards,

Johnny Garcia
