I am not noticing any problematic daily changes in practicality, so I really haven't a clue what has stslimited so flummoxed.

Databases are nifty, but they introduce all sorts of issues that require care. I'd rather it be right than fast.

Syncing tewinget's database build on win7 atm. It seems like there are some portability issues (copying binaries to other windows comps), but bitmonerod seems to working on my computer here.

If anyone wants to give it a shot, here is link to compiled binaries: https://mega.co.nz/#!GZBFyTBB!Vpd6r-z9PmPzzymitHmQe9F7zYk1tNi_lF4PFQbFPGI

Downloaded to my Win 8.1 comp, extracted the files.
I started by trying to run blockchain_conveter.exe but it crashes. Cry

Any help? What arguments for the blockchain_conveter.exe?

I placed it in the folder with the blockchain.bin, ran a command prompt as Administrator, tried it in Windows 7 Compatibility Mode, fed it arguments, ... nothing works.
It just crashes.

Someone else tried to launch bitmonerod, and it immediately crashed as well, and I think they tried on two different computers. So there seems to be an issue with portability from one windows computer (version or processor) to another...

when i ran the bitmonero batch file then bitmonerod and simplewallet.exe will open then after i put my password in simplewallet it says
"you had been using a deprecated version of the wallet please procceed to upgrade your wallet"
after i choose languageput 0 and hit enter simplewallet closed

There's a bug in v0.8.8.6 that doesn't let you import (upgrade) deprecated wallets. You can upgrade your wallet using v0.8.8.4 or you can wait for next release. I actually successfully built the master branch last night for win7, in which it should be fixed. Let me know if you'd like me to upload the binaries.

Make sure your version is the lastest available.

Are you on windows 32bit or 64 ?

It asks you that when you create a new wallet.

To open an existing wallet:

simplewallet ---wallet wallet-name

Every day the database merge doesn't reach production, Monero declines in practicality

Just to clarify - how much have you personally donated to cover the hundreds of man-hours that have been spent on the blockchainDB and lmdb implementation? Because hey, buddy, if you're not commensurately paying for it then you don't have permission to demand anything. At all. Ever.

And there *IS* a practical way to donate, it is in CryptoKingdom the Game

Just tell to donate to Monero House, and every day a sum that you choose, no matter how small or big, is given to the developers!

My donation is 5 XMR/day

Is 'CryptoKingdom' somewhat an online game?
Can you describe this way of donation with links of how-to?

How many of you know the Monero community has its own DJ?

http://www.mixcloud.com/Vanderi/monero-mixxives-1-2015-winter-colours/

Fantastic work by Vanderi. Check it out!

Can we make this a thing? I can contribute, so as lot of my friends DJs. We can make a Monero radio or something.

EDIT:

I never thought this would be interesting, but since you've brought it, i can suggest some tracks that i can donate to Official Monero tune fund

^^^Great idea! I'd be willing to donate some of my instrumental tracks I've made over the years. Mainly Hip-Hop tracks. If this gets traction, I'll post or send the links. ^^^^

- provably fair

Lost about 5 XMR and invested the rest (everyone knows Saddam has terrible luck). Seems legit.

Yeah, if Saddam wins, we have to seriously question the fairness of the game.

Monero has a dice game now (outside IRC).

The site is just released, our bankroll on that coin is still low (about 400 XMR).

You can come gambling a bit or catching the opportunity to become one of the first investor.

Good luck !

I tried it out, despite the fact Firefox gave me an untrusted error. Lost about 5 XMR and invested the rest (everyone knows Saddam has terrible luck). Seems legit.

All in all, still having more fun in #tippero with all my Monero friends.

Thanks for your participation.

Can you send me a PM with more details of the error ? The SSL should be trusted so far, he is not self-signed and come from Comodo CA Limited.
I have no errors on both FF & Chrome from desktop & tablet, linux & windows.

edit: I think I found the issue on some browsers with SSL, I'll fix it soonish.
edit2: should be fixed now.

Jan of 2017....where do you guys see XMR?

Jan 2017

Approx. 75% of coins will be mined. ~6,500 coins mined per day.

Basic infrastructure should be more or less complete.

No ASICs.

A trickle of non-speculative adoption beginning.

And again I dispute the truth of your claim. Moore's law in memory is outpacing Monero blockchain growth currently. I'd love to have a database working perfectly yesterday, but every day that goes by (given current trends), practicality of the existing solution increases not decreases.

(Given a hypothetical supertrend explosion of Monero usage I acknowledge the memory size limit will be an issue.)

That is a logical fallacy and you know it. In this particular context, cryptocurrency utility to development cost ratio is a race to the bottom.

So was this an impulse response to me neglecting to mention the hard work going on, or was it to cover some ineptitude? I pointed out a truth, not a demand

You didn't point out a truth, you merely asserted an opinion (which was promptly demolished).

Hectoring coders while one does nothing to help is a long-time pet peeve of FOSS devs.

There is a canonical quote on the matter, which I can't find ATM. Cheesy

But I'm certain smooth, fluffy, pa, or Taco (who doubtless all know it by heart) can provide it.

Please try out the shiny new Win64 DB binary and provide feedback. Then you will have some (non-zero) standing to cast FUD about.
