When I first started my wallet, I didn't encrypt it. How can I encrypt it now? I'm using simple wallet.

Another question: How does the Monero wallet decide what other signatures to use to sign a transaction when I say to use n signatures? Does it select them randomly from the blockchain?

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure it's encrypted - always. There's no ability to create an unencrypted wallet.
Yea but I can spend from my wallet without typing a password. So it must not be encrypted.

My guess is that your password is empty.  That doesn't make it plaintext, it just makes it trivial to guess the password.

Just looking at the code... I think it is possible that there is no PW set.


    if(!command_line::has_arg(vm, arg_password) )
    {
      LOG_ERROR("Wallet password not set.");
      return 1;
    }

Not the best code to prove it but it's 2am and I need to sleep. Smiley Best to use additional encryption anyway - or generate a new wallet w/ a password and send to there. The wallet software is still evolving though as the PW doesn't seem changeable.

Someone mentioned the wallet won't be encrypted if you don't suffix it with ".bin". Not sure if true.

Would someone care to explain the block reward system?
When is the block reward going to get cut down? seems like there is a lot of downward pressure due to the hype surroinding this coin making it profitable to mine and dump

+1

As it seems, it won't change... it has already been pointed out as a factor & discussed.

would one of you pros mine helping me with the cli wallet?

A friend of mine transferred 506 xmr to my wallet and I am trying to get them to his poloniex account, but I am having this problem:

http://imgur.com/nFKegY1

it would appear I am not typing the code in the correct format. Also, not sure what it means by "non negative integer" because I AM using a non negative integer for mixin count.

I am trying to first send 6 to his poloniex account, then another 500, once the first 6 confirm. Thanks for the help!
Don't use < and >

facepalm

thanks gentlemen!

I hope I am interpreting your screenshot correctly, but if you are moving XMR to Poloniex, you will also need to add the Payment ID, which seems to be missing from your commands. Your friend or you (if you have access to his account) should generate the Payment ID at the Poloniex's Balances page. Once you generate this, you send XMR with the following:

transfer 0

I put mixin count of 0, but you can replace it with whatever you prefer. Of course, remove the < and > when typing the actual transfer command Smiley

monero seems real cheap, I just picked up an extra 1000, thanks to all the idiots selling so low on poloniex. IMO anything less than $2.50 a coin is a damn good deal for these babies.

he who has the gold makes the rules
Price is low ? Nothing is happening to XRM ? Lets not forget the words of Mircea Popescu:

Quote
There are at all times two financial markets in progress, running side by side, but little known to each other; the one real, the other only apparent. The former grows into permanent wealth; it is pursued by those who live for thinking and making; its course is sober and quiet, but extremely slow; and it produces in a year scarcely a dozen items; these, however, are permanent. The other kind is pursued by persons who live on other’s thinking and making; it goes at a gallop with much noise and shouting of partisans; and every week puts a thousand items on the market. But after a few years one asks, Where are they? where is the glory which came so soon and made so much clamor? This kind may be called fleeting, and the other, permanent finance.
