I'm curious if the government is actually able to track the Monero transactions :O

US government is considering funding development of a tool for analysis of privacy coins such as Monero.

There's currently no such functionality available unfortunately. I suppose you could load your wallet into the CLI though and subsequently follow the suggestions here:

How do I export my history from the 0.13.0.4 Beryllium Bullet gui wallet to a file? Excel, CSV, ect? Even the ability to copy and paste the amount received would be fine. I just don't want to have to manually type every single transaction into my coin tracking software.

monero has 2 things that look like syncs.

first, you download and verify the blockchain. This is called synchronizing with the network.

THen your wallet scans the blockchain and tries to identify if any of the blockchain belongs to you (the outputs). This is called a wallet refresh.

Are you using the GUI?

Are you restoring from seed?

If you are creating a new wallet, you actually should see the best user experience - there is no wallet refresh needed. Hell, if you are using a GUI, you can use the bootstrap feature to use monero almost instantaneously.

I downloaded the whole blockchain, it hangs on about 700 blocks from completely synchronizing when the finances syncs, then it starts right from the start again! Now the pocket has been synced five times, I'm losing patience with this, my computer is scolding hot from all this unnecessary insert over and above.

Interesting, the stages gone through. And the fraud at each stage to dupe the machine.

But, basically comes down to poor password security.

Also immediately running at 100% makes it incredibly easy to spot so this is just supposed to be a smash and grab rather than a stealth miner?

I suppose unattended boxes can become the botnet till spotted.

SHUM. LOL

That particular DLL is normally included in the .zip file. Can you check if your AV has perhaps quarantined some required files (i.e. files necessary in order for the GUI to run properly)?

Which winblows version are you running?

i'm download this file. but i am getting xxxxx error. I could not fix this error.

Thank you

And just to extend the Hueristic answer (I joint to it completely), note that Monero is almost the only crypto who has been scheduled a regular hard-fork (2 times per year) with anti-ASIC mining algo modification. Anti-ASIC fights against bot-nets too, because most bot-nets were created before first anti-ASIC modification took place, i.e. their creators din't know about future modifications and their bot-nets can't work now.

Of course, new bot-nets come to the scene periodically, but they encounter several number of brand new difficulties:
1. end-users and anti-viruses know about malware mining and can detect this type of activity
2. it is significantly more complicated to create bot-nets with update mechanism
3. our community fights against bot-net officially, particularly, the pool software can detect bot-net low difficulty share traffic and block it

How to estimate a percentage of bot-nets in the whole Monero hashrate? An obvious approach is to compare hashrate before and after 2nd algo modification on hardfork cn/1 to cn/2 - wtih the same one appeared on hardfork cn/0 to cn/1 when most ASIC had been rejected by network:

- on hardfork cn/0 to cn/1 hashrate changed from ~1Ghs to ~600Mhs (we killed all the ASICs)
- on hardfork cn/1 to cn/2 hashrate changed from ~600Mhs to ~500Mhs (we killed almost all the bot-nets)

today's hashrate is ~430MHs

so, there were no ASICs on hardfork cn/1 to cn/2 hashrate,
bot-nets' hashrate UPPER estimate is (600-500)/500 ~ 20%

but, after recent exchange dump from 1XMR = $110 to $60, hashrate dim is (500-430)/500 ~ 14%
Bot-nets never stop the mining because they are always profitable, this variations in hashrate are due to end-users' movements

so, real MEAN estimate of bot-nets' hashrate is 20%-14% = 6% now

I consider this 6% can be neglected.

This is a un-moderated thread. The speculation one is the moderated one, smooth has done a great job over the years in there. I would not wish that on anyone but if you wanted to take that over I doubt anyone would argue with that.

I offered a few times, the BS trolls are also very annoying

Every thread would. Just ignore them and move on, or if it looks like their post is copypasted, report it in this thread and then ignore them

This thread would benefit from *signature promoting useless comments* moderation.
