I think you need to learn what fsync does and whether or not there is one in the daemon.

But this is off topic for the thread, so let's stop now.

Did u guys ever tried to solder RAM modules together, multiply total amount?
Those were the times indeed...

I'd like to announce the first alpha release of my unofficial lightweight GUI simplewallet wrapper, lightWallet. Using this program, you don't need to run the bitmonerod daemon on your own computer or do anything on the command line. By default it uses hegemoOn's (a long time Monero supporter) open node, although you can change it to use a different node (Atrides recently announced another one, for instance), or you can set it up to use a local daemon.

The release binary ( https://github.com/jwinterm/lightWallet/releases/download/v0.0.1-alpha/lightWallet.exe ) is a single file that has simplewallet.exe wrapped up inside of it, so you do still still need a 64 bit machine. Please check out the README.md file here as well:
https://github.com/jwinterm/lightWallet

I'm still working on the tx history part, and I'd like to add an address book, but since simplewallet itself doesn't really have either one of these features, I figured I'd go ahead and release it, since we have (at least) two open nodes to choose from now

The program should work to create new wallets or import non-deprecated wallets from their keys file (wallets with an electrum seed). There is an issue with simplewallet itself that prevents importing deprecated wallets at the moment, but this should be fixed in the next simplewallet release. The created/imported wallets will be stored in your My Documents folder in the lightWallet folder.

Here are a couple screenshots of the first two tabs:





Let me know what you think. I hope some people find it useful.

486/DX 33 4 megs of ram and a whopping 130 meg HD was my first PC.

Those were the times!

[2] Actual number of atomic units is M = 2⁶⁴ - 1. A minimum subsidy may be implemented in the future with <1% annual inflation to preserve mining incentives.

Good point, smooth. I will definitely add that into the popup that comes up after you create a new wallet.

Valid point, but I'd just say that at 4 GB you are pretty close to a critical point where even a small increase would have a disproportionately large benefit.

The MEW executives, the largest voteholders, and the core team members, have been searching for a concensus for quite a long time now. Since such has not been reached, there is no realistic alternative to leaving the emission just as it is now. This is also enjoying the greatest support of all alternatives, so we can safely say that it is the best choice as well.

Its not going to happen.

Thanks dEBRUYNE. I will try out the tabs horizontal and see how they look. There is (should be) a message that pops up everytime you create a wallet though, saying this info.txt file has your seed and you should delete or encrypt it. Maybe I should change the name of that file to "DELETE OR ENCRYPT THIS FILE IMMEDIATELY.txt"

If you delete it, it is a good idea to use a "secure erase" or "shred" type utility. Otherwise the contents may stick around in file system free space. Less of an issue for SSDs, depending on OS and other factors.

My compliments on your work. To be clear, this still takes a lot of your RAM or doesn't it?

EDIT: I had to much beers, if I am reading the text correct it shouldn't eat up your RAM. If I can give you some advice, I would make the "tabs" horizontal instead of vertical, bit hard to read now (could be the alcohol, but still ). Another point, if you create a new wallet the seed will be stored in a plain text file without encryption. I would advise to make some kind of announcement everytime you create a new wallet to encrypt to file or to make it a default thing to encrypt the textfile with the seed.

Dear smotth,I use the latest versio 0.8.8.8.6 from OP

I thought you would be able to use the seed words to re-create the wallet using simplewallet, Am I wrong?

Which version are you using?

nothing critical, i hope...

LOL it's gone, your money. live with(out) it  naw back on track, beeing serious, we might need a way to import mymonero wallet credentials into a local wallet copy. Having a website is convenient, but sometimes one just needs a second pathway to access funds.

nothing critical, i hope...
