Monero (XMR) - secure, private, untraceable
In windows I'm getting 11% lower hash rate with minerd compared to bitmonerod. I'll continue to solo mine, but if the difficulty double again with my 130 H/s I'll have to switch to pool mining. Is Amazon EC2 mining still profitable? It seems many are mining with Amazon EC2 plan, but now I can't afford to test it for more then 48 hours and maybe I won't find a block in 48 hours. What is the hash rate with Amazon EC2 32 cores?

for pool mining. what miner is deemed for efficient.
i am familiar with the simpler miner only but is the cpu miner multi better for pool mining and is this the same as minerd.
what is lucas miner thanks
thank you for this. is cpu miner more efficient than simple miner


You can try Lucas Jone's cpuminer v1.0.3 at https://github.com/LucasJones/cpuminer-multi/releases

Then connect to a stratum mining pool like so:

Code:
minerd -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://mro.extremehash.com:9999 -u address -p x

thank you
- the link to zone 115 in op does not work
- can lucas cpuminer be included in download link.

also can we get a description of each miner.  assistant has a -how to mine thread- perhapse a walk through using each miner is in order

We need a GUI wallet. Im having so many issues trying to get wallet working. I even tried that GUI wallet it doesn't even save my wallet. I sent some MRO but i don't have that wallet address anymore. It never saved...
I'm using Minergate. Software is great. Just wished there was a good gui wallet.

Where's that pioneer spirit?

This is what it means to be a First Adopter.

very important changes! i'll be testing  Wink

Thanks,
I will try to add a fix for block subsidy today too, which should help the problem with some blocks having very low reward from pools.

It is definitely a good idea to combine small outputs into larger ones, otherwise it is impossible to ever make payments in larger amounts (the transactions will be too big). Now if you only ever make small payments then I guess keeping the original small outputs is fine. But for larger payments they won't work at all, or will be too large to allow mixing. As far as mixin count to use when doing that, I can't give a good answer, as I haven't looked at the issues that carefully. The tradeoff is how many of these small outputs you can combine in one go. If you can't combine enough, you may need to do multiple steps.

The size of each transaction is dependent only on its immediate sources, not prior transactions that fed into those. So if you have a zillion tiny outputs and combine them into a few larger ones, subsequent transactions are not affected at all by the previous tiny outputs, and will be quite small.

Thanks, I'll stick to these guidelines when I send transactions from now on.

Update: 2014/05/25

The Monero team is happy to announce that we will be sponsoring development on the I2P project with a view to baking I2P support in to Monero!

Thanks for the great news! Do you have any reliable literature you (or anyone) would like to share regarding i2p and what it is/does? Wikipedia only goes so far, so I think it would be nice to see if you have anything educational (even technical is great) that you would like to share so what we can understand what this is?

If i don't remember my password, i loose my wallet?
No way to recover it?
Thanks

No but if your password wasn't too long you can do a dictionary-attack or a brute-force attack to find the password.

Is this correct?

All Monero transactions are private by default, without a need for counterparties such as masternodes or key creators.

No need for master nodes with crypto note. You should read the white paper

Thats what I said

You asked a question. I answered it...

0.8.8 Test branch has been created after reviewing the code released from ByteCoin recently and merging the relevant changes.

https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/tree/0.8.8update

Changes:
Code:
- JSON RPC v2.0 compatibility
- JSON RPC over TCP added- Further optimizations
- Fixed a bug with checkpoints behavior
- UI improvements for daemon
- Fixed COIN value (10^12)
- Raised minimum fee to (1/2) * (10^10)

If you're feeling brave, give it a spin. If everyone reports it to be stable after a few days, I will merge with master.

Pool operators: please restart bitmonerod with this command (remove your pool's IP)

Code:
./bitmonerod --add-priority-node 198.199.79.100:18080 5.9.25.103:18080 107.170.182.209:18080 62.210.78.186:18080 216.119.175.73:18080

This will keep open connections to all major (>2kh/s) pools so the pools mine less orphans.

I think the right commans is
Code:
./bitmonerod --add-priority-node=198.199.79.100:18080 --add-priority-node=5.9.25.103:18080 --add-priority-node=107.170.182.209:18080 --add-priority-node=62.210.78.186:18080 --add-priority-node=216.119.175.73:18080

or just use ~/.bitmonero/bitmonero.conf:
Code:
add-priority-node=198.199.79.100:18080
add-priority-node=5.9.25.103:18080
add-priority-node=107.170.182.209:18080
add-priority-node=62.210.78.186:18080
add-priority-node=216.119.175.73:18080

Also, it might be reasonable to build a special version of bitmonerod with P2P_DEFAULT_CONNECTIONS_COUNT increased from 12 to 24 or even more.
