Is this based on the other .net wallet or a whole new one?

New windows wallet gui to test it's pre alpha, needs .net 4.5 and use either a backup of wallet or make a new one.

i REPEAT use on a backup of your wallet or create new one

let me know if any issues

That depends on the bubble. For now, monero seems to be for the geeks only. I don't see the average user install it manually and operating it from a command line. That does not stop the public from trading it, of course.

This is small misunderstanding. Monero addresses are safe to post online, list in a public directory etc. They don't appear on the blockchain, and the only thing you can do with an address is send coins to it. You can't identify transactions that were sent to the address.

Of course, nothing is ever quite 100%, it is possible there may be bugs or flaws. However, that is the intent of the design.

Simply knowing someone's address tells you nothing about their balance or their transaction history.

Nothing (I'll type it again: NOTHING) is anonymous if it happens online. There are allegedly anonymous solutions like Tor or secure VPNs, but if somebody wants to find you (provided he has the resources) he will do so. A word for XMR. Do not post your addresses online, for this is the only address you have. I've seen many people doing so; dood if you don't mind revealing your address, what's the point of using XMR anyway?

I have noticed a few people asking recently why an anonymous concurrency is even needed. I know I have seen several good articles/write-ups/posts explaining the need but cannot remember where I have seen them.

Here is one article I found:

http://www.coindesk.com/how-anonymous-is-bitcoin/

Do you know of any others?

Correct because I never mined XMR.

I was relating my experience on my system hoping it would help others. I know increasing VM on systems with low memory helps.

There has been a series of users having their bitcoins stolen when using their bitcoin wallet through tor. Tor's exit nodes can see your data. It's explained in the article.

Can anybody located in between meddle with transactions? I think not, due to lack of keys.

Luxembourg, Luxembourg ... thinking don't got to comment on that 

http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-tor-anonymity-can-busted-2500-month/

"Using bitcoin over the anonymity network Tor leaves users at greater risk of having their identities revealed, according to academics at the University of Luxembourg."

"Such an attack could expose the identity of a bitcoin and Tor user, and allow the attacker to meddle with the victim's transactions, they said."

No question bitmonerod does use a log of RAM (gigabytes) so that plus other applications could certainly run out in 8 GB.

A good solution is to enable virtual memory as explained in the post after yours:

I run bitmonerod/simplewallet on a windows laptop with 4gb ram - and have no problems whatsoever, even when i have not run the daemon for a week and need to resync the blockchain i have no issues. i also have browser open and irc client and all functions fine.

Apparently no one read the recommendations here:

Supported coins:
XMR/QCN/BCN/FCN/Aeon/Duck/Dash/OEC/MCN/ORION.
=========================

CPU version is here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/claymores-cryptonote-windows-cpu-miner-v40-647251

Current version: 9.1:

- Improved pool-related routines: less disconnects, more hashrate on some pools.
- Fixed issue with some old 6xxx/5xxx cards ("lowDifficultShare" error).


Previous version: 9.0:
- Improved speed by 5-15%, depends on card:
   About 810 h/s on stock 290X (Hynix memory).
   About 710 h/s on stock 290X (Elpida memory).
   About 690 h/s on stock 290  (Elpida memory).
   About 550 h/s on stock 280X (Hynix memory).
   About 440 h/s on stock 270X (Elpida memory).
   About 410 h/s on stock 270  (Elpida memory).  
- Reduced dev fee, now it is 2.5%.
- Improved "-li" option, Windows freezes even less.
- Best "-a" and "-h" values are set automatically for 290X,290,280X,270X,270,6950_2GB cards.

This is POOL version.

Catalyst 13.12 is required for best performance and compatibility. Catalyst 14.x is supported as well (usually 14.x is about 1% slower than 13.12).

Set "GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT" environment variable as "100".

For multi-GPU systems, set Virtual Memory size in Windows at least 16 GB:
"Computer Properties / Advanced System Settings / Performance / Advanced / Virtual Memory".

This miner is free-to-use, however, current developer fee is 2.5%, miner mines 39 rounds for you and 1 round for developer.
If you don't agree with dev fee - don't use this miner, or use "-nofee" option.
Attempts to cheat and remove dev fee will cause a bit slower mining speed (same as "-nofee 1") though miner will show same hashrate.

This version is for recent AMD videocards only: 7xxx and 2xx, also 6xxx and 5xxx. No nVidia support.

This version is for Windows x64 and Linux x64 only. No 32-bit support.

Linux version also requires AMD APP SDK installed. Linux version has been tested in Cent 6.5 and Ubuntu 14.04.

Do this and you will not have problems, and blocked with 2 GB of RAM!

My win7 system with 8GB froze several times when syncing if i was doing other stuff. It was ok if i left alone during sync. Once synced, I could then use normally. Problem went away when i upgrade to 16GB.

Ok I set virtual memory higher and my system is stable. I took it off the set number and checked the box that allows the system to automatically set the virtual memory size. stable now, thanks. End User Error

i checked mine also. on 8gb ram uses 4.4gb. seems same as Quicken.

akula999, i answered your question. did i not? i did not said you are FUDIng, i said, it seems we have newbie FUDing attack again. lol are you newly made account?


If  crashes started happening last 2 days, then think what you changed last 2 days and try to put it as it was before

I think the answer is no but can you be more specific what this would include?

I'm with 4 GB and for me everything is fine, but very slowly
