You mean they'll be linked together from the exchange point of view?

What is the maximum length of the payment ID? Is it long enough to provide a monero address?

You will be able to search the blockchain after for all tx that have that payment ID, because it's cleartext. Of course, it doesn't necessarily mean tx are related, but if you keep using the same ID to send to the exchange...

256-bits.

ok - so the payment ID is just a kind of user annotation on the transaction. Presumably then I can add it even if it isn't needed at the other end but if an exchange specifies one for deposits then I must use their specified one.

Is that it ?

Yes. You should use unique payment IDs each time, otherwise your tx will become linked together.

The latest github repo has all new seednodes in it.

Alternatively, please start the daemon with the following flags:

bitmonerod --seed-node 62.210.78.186:18080 --seed-node 195.12.60.154:18080 --seed-node 54.241.246.125:18080 --seed-node 107.170.157.169:18080 --seed-node 54.207.112.216:18080 --seed-node 78.27.112.54:18080 --seed-node 209.222.30.57:18080 --seed-node 80.71.13.55:18080 --seed-node 107.178.112.126:18080

Thank you. That seem to work. At least hes downloading the blocks now.

ok - great.

You guys have been really helpful considering my slightly antagonistic post earlier.

Much appreciated.

Same computer, QCN and FCN is OK, but MRO fail to connect.

We need more seed peers. Ask someone here for their p2pstate.bin files.

I have the same problem. Does it help to wait or is it essential to get a up-to-date p2pstate.bin file from someone?

payments command allows you to see the transaction, height, amount etc by using just the payment id. Useful to track a payment you are expecting as there is no way to use the block explorer in the same way as BTC.

How does the system ensure that the Payment ID is unique ?

i.e. what's to stop me from entering any old non-unique payment ID like "hello" ?

It doesn't. You can re-use same payment id as many times as you like.

Exchanges use it to link a particular payment to your account, but there are probably many more applications. It's really just a small piece of data you can attach to a transaction.

On top of all that, I've already lost about 100 XMR because I transferred exchange to exchange 'the normal way' and it's now disappeared into the 'ether'.

Provide the exchange with txid and I'm sure they will help you out. If you withdrew from cryptonote exchange I'm able to provide txid if you contact us by support ticket and provide amount and address. I had quite a few contact me about this, it appears to be a pretty common mistake unfortunately. Perhaps poloniex should increase the font size of the warning and make it red

Yup plus one to that, something tells me they don't mind non referenced payments though as people seem to give up on some things quite easily.

In my opinion they should do what you did, thats the perfect way to help the noobs out, you cant go wrong with copy paste.

For the sake of clarity can we eradicate all references to bitmonero now? I see some instances on github and elsewhere still using the old term.

This will be changed in the coming week as we move to monero-developers on github.

I believe the payment id must be a certain number of characters.

A friend of mine made a simple experimental android widget.

Its v1.0 and not really tested except by me.

It shows:
Price in BTC from poloniex
Price in dollars from coinmarketcap
Volume in dollars from coinmarketcap.
Automatic refresh every 30mins and also refreshing by tapping it.

He will soon add total market cap and total coins. And when we are in more exchanges those too. There are some ideas for more features...

Right now its not on google play store but he will add it probably soon.

If you are interested download it from here: https://mega.co.nz/#!T5gzDRhK!vbPYvTgFStsUEBZUHuI5-13xw2GCLr6vw1LSpDl0sFo

And please make feature requests or tell us about bugs.
