I have the keys file.

If you have the keys file that's all you need.

1. Backup keys file securely before messing with it (make sure to back up any other wallets as well).

2. Make sure there are no conflicting wallet files with the same name

3. Load the keys file into simplewallet normally. It will regenerate the wallet.bin file.

I don't understand #3

How do I load the keys file into simple wallet "normally"?

What is the downside to keeping transaction fees high? Shouldn't the blockchain continue selling it's scarce real estate at a premium, given XMR's exclusive features of high liquidity privacy-as-a-service?

scare real estate? The network can handle many more transactions then it does now

"Scarce" is a relative term. Since ring signatures preclude pruning and have only been trimmed linearly at this point, and because of its popularity/liquidity, Monero's blockchain should be sold for whatever price the market will bear, probably at a price point above all other crypto real estate. Charging less may be a subsidy, and reduce incentives important elsewhere. If you subsidize bloat, you get more of it, which means you need more resources to run a full node.

Getting the incentives right is the key to decentralized scaling. So far, so good.

The Lab logo/colors is better than the original. I demand MRS mugs and t-shirts!

This usually happens if it fails to find a way to make a tx within the given max tx size. I would try sending smaller amounts.

yeah i was able to send 100 XMR , seems 100 at a time is my max I can send from this wallet , actually the tx is not that bad if I can send 100 XMR at a time Grin

Around 100 XMR per transaction seems to be my limit as well.

It depends on the value of your inputs. I don't know the exact cutoff but if you aren't using mixing you can fit around 200 inputs in one transaction. So at 0.5 XMR per input that would be around 100 XMR. If your inputs are larger or smaller the maximum value of the TX will change accordingly.

Monero Missives

September 15th, 2014

5. We have a new tagged release, 0.8.8.4, available for download (binaries: Windows, Mac, Linux, FreeBSD). This adds the following features:

Testnet: we now have an operating testnet. When using bitmonerod or simplewallet you can now use the --testnet flag to use testnet instead of mainnet. Feel free to run a mining node or just a testnet node, we will be setting up email alerts for testnet nodes when an update is pending (although having a few older testnet nodes on the network won't hurt testing).
FreeBSD Compatability: Monero now works on FreeBSD out the box. We will add it to the ports tree soon. At the moment compilation is no different from regular Linux and Unix compilation, and the same dependencies apply.
GPG commits: we have begun GPG-signing commits and merges. This is an important step in maintaining the integrity of the codebase, and will ensure that any compromise of our computers or even the github account won't allow a malicious attacker to push code to the repository without the unsigned commits being spotted. Verification can be done by running 'git log --show-signature', which will show and verify signatures. An example of what you should see is below:
Versioning: versioning is a lot easier, now, as tagged releases from 0.8.8.4 onwards will show version-final (eg. 0.8.8.4-final) as their version, and those built between tagged releases will show version-commithash (eg. 0.8.8.4-9088ea1). We expect this will greatly aid in debugging problems, as we can immediately pinpoint the actual version / commit a user is on.
Logging: default log levels have been adjusted so that non-critical warnings are now relegated to log-level 1 and above. Apart from the normal reorganisation notifications, the only messages in red that should show up in the daemon are actual errors.

- updated by fluffypony

I downloaded the update. Really strange getting no error messages Grin

Is there a reason the update is not on the first page?

I had set up a second wallet which is empty. I erased the contents of the file associated with that wallet as I confused it with the simple wallet log file. I thought each wallet had it's own log file but I guess not. I figured it wasn't correct but did it anyway as it was empty. The help menu in my working wallet shows nothing for restoring a wallet. I checked the FAQ and it says that when restoring a wallet from seed it will ask for a NEW name and NEW password. I would really like to keep both the name and pw. Is there something else I can do? I have the keys file.

That is very strange. It seems you may have created a new wallet instead of restoring the old one.

Hopefully you have safe backup copies of your wallet.bin.keys file that are separate from whatever you are using to try to restore. When working with wallet files always make sure you have good backups stored somewhere else so you can't mess them up.

That being the case, move all of the new wallet files somewhere else, make a new copy of your safely-stored wallet.bin.keys making sure there are no other wallet files there at all. Load into simplewallet.

If you don't get the same address at that point, you have gotten your wallet.bin.keys files mixed up.

I backed up the right roaming folder, but wrong wallet.bin perhaps.
I have the correct viewkey though, is there a way to recover with that and the original address?
If not, at least I emptied it out a month ago, so not too much pain.

with the high fee,you loose XMR already before you can start trading Sad

If you are mining, you are receiving the fees as well as paying them.

I don't know what the problem is with your wallet (post more specific information if any) but I would guess that sending in smaller chunks will be a successful work-around.

wallet is from the newly release client ,I'm able to sent 100 XMR seems to be most I can send,from this wallet
specific info? like what I posted after hitting enter on the wallet in red color it says.Error:Failed to find a suitable way to split transactions

This usually happens if it fails to find a way to make a tx within the given max tx size. I would try sending smaller amounts.

Still, strange to see you get that error.

Wouldn't the fee have to be paid for each chunk, thus increasing the fee?

You can try to maximize the amount you send in each transaction for the current fixed fee. That's all that would happen if the transaction could automatically be broken up. So start with a larger amount and gradually decrease it until it works. That should be close to the maximum size transaction (so minimum fee per byte).

It isn't so much a question of high vs. low as it is being more efficient. Small transactions don't take up more of that scarce real estate, so they don't need to be charged as much. We want neither unsustainably low fees (especially for large transactions) nor unnecessarily high fees (for small ones).

Whether it is "scarce" or not requires finding a balance. If the block chain is allowed to bloat up to terabytes while there is relatively little meaningful economic activity taking place it will be prohibitive to even run a node. Terabytes at some time in the future when the network is hugely important and processing trillions of USD-equivalent worth of transactions (and more's law means a throw-away obsolete thumb drive might be a TB) would be just fine

in the u.s. your rights of privacy and anonymity are constituionally guaranteed. it is likely that totalitarian regimes will outlaw anonymizing technologies, albeit with very limited success. the likelihood of criminalization of anonymizing tech in western liberal democracies generally is zero.

By Law you must provide Identification any time it is demanded by authorities whether they are in the right to ask for it or not.

This is not accurate. There are specific circumstances where ID must be provided or it entitles them to take some specific actions.
Authorities are always entitled to ask, but then so are you.

It's called Obstruction and you can sue civil if they demand it illegally but have fun with that.

I upgraded to a new machine and copied over my wallet.bin wallet.bin.keys and then started the new version I just downloaded today, but my address has changed in simplewallet.
I made sure to load the proper old wallet.bin file.
Is there something else special I can do?
Any way to get my old address back? I have the viewkey as well.
