I don't like this answer. I would strongly prefer an official suggestion.

Maybe it's just my character and feelings, but I don't like this. I am a perfectionist. I really prefer an official recommendation. Thinking about mixed AE and BE spellings in official and non-official Monero docs make me very sad and feel bad.

Please consider an recommendation.

Why would you leave out everything in my quote besides that 1 point? My original statement was:

"
Obviously American English. The British have been hostile to cryptocurrencies thus far. How often do you see pound/BTC pairing?

--British banks won't deal with anyone related to cryptos.

"

You don't see the pound/BTC pairing mainly because British banks won't work with crypto exchanges so there is very limited ways to get pounds into crypto. With Britain being resistant to bitcoin and America accepting it....I think that is a pretty fair reason to write it in American English.


It honestly makes very little difference if you want to use 'z' or 's' etc, but that's my 2 cents.

Use either as long as it is well written. This is a very international project. The core team itself is from several different countries, not to mention the independent contributors and users.

Thats not a real reason to not use British English, of course most denominations are USD/BTC with the USD being the world reserve currency. Most other markets are denominated as so. You dont see much GBP/BTC parings as there isnt much demand to trade in that obviously but what does that have to do with using the correct language?

Are you sure it was starting from scratch. The blockchain download is somewhat out of date so you will need to sync several weeks, but not the whole thing.

Once it is done syncing you should type save in the daemon window to update the blockchain file on your disk (normally this will happen every 12 hours).

Question to core team members:
When writing text for Monero project, do I use American English or British English?

Opinions from non core members also appreciated.

A brief question. I've downloaded the blockchain.bin from the first page together with the Monero Client .NET GUI. Is there a trick to force it to look up the downloaded database instead of redownloading the whole thing from scratch?
PS: I've followed the instructions and put it inside the %appdata%/Roaming/bitmonero as well as %appdata%/bitmonero but unfortunately, no cigar.

Thanks

British be playin' PoPo wit language
Five O'clock shadowin' syntax
Straight up now lovin' pronunciation
But G's be makin' words chillax

Laid back,
With my mind on Monero,
And Monero on my mind.

Did you voted for Monero in [Poll] What anonymous coin will succeed?

Edit: And of course also vote for Monero to be added to DirectBet – LIVE Sportsbook & Racebook. Rated # 1 by Bitcointalk Members!

you re using windows ?

I like the first approach as I downloaded yesterday and it had 71 days to catch up.  Can someone please update both Windows and Linux on a weekly basis ?

An ambitious official GUI is under development, but there are other things that need to be tackled before being able to release a proper GUI wallet for the masses. One of those things is the blockchain in DB format instead of loading it entirely into RAM (this was inherited from the original bytecoin code). The BlockchainDB version has been evolving and you can try it out on your own if you are capable of building it on Linux, but it still needs some work and a lot of testing.

IMO, It's not about embracing one of the currently available GUIs. People can use and develop whichever GUI they want, that's the nature of open source software. Core members have their own view of what a GUI wallet should be like, and they are aiming for that. They have shown designs and have released a preview version of it.

Good software development requires solid design, capable coders and a lot of time. Core members work for free on their free time, but they are also humans (I think) and they also have a life (I think ).

I would also love for development to go faster, but wishing and pushing for it won't make it happen any sooner.

Hopefully we will see a GUI sooner than later. Some have rumored about it being released around Christmas, but I don't expect that to be true. Core members have not made any promise about it, and won't make any promise they can't keep (except for missives on Mondays... just kidding  )

All I take as a fact, is that it will be done "when it's done"^tm.

Having said that... I do believe in the potential of this coin and I have faith in the team behind it.
