Hi, I have a question. I downloaded the wallet zip file. I started up simplewallet and created a wallet.bin file. If I mine to this address can I later put a transaction of my mined coins to an exchange without synchronizing with the network? I don't have much spare disk space to download the entire blockchain (not to mention it's time consuming).
Currently no. To do this, you need Electrum-like app for Monero, storing blockchain on a remote server, *not owned* by you. As I know, there is no such an app for Monero.
Nevertheless, you can mine to Monero address you've just created without downloading blockchain. But exchanges do not typically allow you to mine directly onto their deposit addresses.
Some pool allow you to withdraw with a payment ID (so you can transfer from pool to exchange). That would do exactly what he wants no?
. I always close the daemon after save with exit...and when I started it actually moved several hundred blocks ahead before entering orphan loop This time I won't delete downloaded blockchain
