Hello,

I am trying to restore a wallet via the command: "--restore-deterministic-wallet" as described here: https://monerotalk.org/t/bounty-create-a-useful-tutorial-on-how-to-setup-monero-closed/13/4

I am opening a cmd dialog in windows, changing to the monero folder, and then typing: "simplewallet.exe --restore-deterministic-wallet *words*".

However, nothing seems to happen, I get to the same opening text as if I had just started simplewallet, e.g. "Specify wallet name... if the wallet doesn't exist..."

Any tips?

Keep going, after you decide on a filename for the new wallet it will ask you for the electrum seed and the wallet will be restored. I too was confused by this at first.

This worked, thanks, and thanks to other commenters.

Also agree that once you restore, best to move the XMR to a new wallet.

I have a decent amount of XMR stuck on Mintpal...

Does anyone have information as to when their shit will be sorted and we can withdraw?

Not to scare you but: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/who-lost-all-their-btc-from-mintpal-817041

Maybe you should head over to their IRC channel.

I had some XMR there too. Still waiting new announcement regarding this problem.

A few (relatively low volume) coins are currently unavailable due to daemon codebase issues. They will be available shortly (a blog post will follow).

Hopefully things are resolved soon

Devs, it's that time again!
You know, the spreading of hashrate around announcement.
Moneropool.com is at 55% of the total network hashrate at the time of writing this:

Money often costs too much.

In CryptoNote, your secret key is essentially just a very, very large number x
(for other considerations, see section 4.3.3, we choose x to be a multiple of 8 ).
There is a special point G on the curve ed25519 called “the base point” of the curve
which is used as the starting point to get xG. Your public key is just xG, and
you are protected by the above problem from someone using known information to
determine the private key.

from the latest MRL Wink

Some of the discussions had been drifting into differentiating "on chain security" what is like that above, opposing "off chain security" which some proclaim to be the only really secure variant.
People bringing up that argument usually tend to conceal any thoughts on combining both concepts.

How does the cryptonote (XMR) code stand up to bitcoin as far as transaction volume? How many transactions per second can it handle in comparison to bitcoin?

Cryptonote is protocol, The coin using it is Monero. XMR is the ticker of Monero

Suppose your mnemonic is "A B C". Try the following:

Code:

>simplewallet.exe --restore-deterministic-wallet --electrum-seed "A B C"

if you want to completely automate the process (useful for batch cold wallet creation).

Caution though. Putting secret information on the command line is dangerous. I've proposed an option to read it from a file for safer automation.

Yep the command history on Linux will reveal everything.

Good point. I consider cold wallets "single use" anyway. Once you reconstruct one, you empty it and never use it again.

As far as I remember it is supposed to work that way. Because the deterministic seed represents the private key (I think) and you still need to choose a name and password for your wallet. This is just the name of the .dat file. You could have many wallets (dats) for the same address if you'd like.

Suppose your mnemonic is "A B C". Try the following:

Code:

>simplewallet.exe --restore-deterministic-wallet --electrum-seed "A B C"

if you want to completely automate the process (useful for batch cold wallet creation).
