Awesome, thanks!  I knew I was missing something obvious

so if I have 32bit, my option is just simpleminer eh?

Or

transfer some number other than 0 amount

if you want the payment to be untraceable. With 0 you aren't doing any mixing.

Does extremehash report incorrect payouts?

tried the new cpuminer and it says

The version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you're running...

you don't need a payment id if you want to send from your wallet to another, just transfer 0 address amount

only the exchanges require tx id.

Ok, I'm obviosuly missing something.

If I want to send from my wallet to another person, how does the payment ID get generated?  Is there a wallet command I'm just not seeing that generates one?

I know the exchanges make one - I just don't know how/where they get it from, and if I want to move funds between wallets, I need one too it seems.

Indeed. Gave me a good chuckle.

Guys, do we have any progress on getting listed on Mintpal? I know obviously we are cryptonote technology, which has different api's to Bitcoin but I think it would do wonders for our adoption if we could get on there.

I honestly think we could go up 300% if we got listed on Mintpal. Sadly I don't even see us on the list of coins to be voted in.

I'd like to know the answer to this too. Is the wallet.bin and .keys like boitcoin's wallet.dat?

quick question, in order to save ur monero wallet and be able to open it in another computer, or just back it up, all u got to do is save the wallet.bin  and .keys ? What else? You just paste them and they are loaded again in ur new wallet?

How to use VPS mining? Where has the study thread

If I'm using mine.moneropool.org

I should be using port 7777? instead of the default 5555?

No, do not share your wallet password with anyone.

Usually "-p x" indicates that the pool does not require a password and you can put anything there, including just the letter x.

for -p x

what do you put for x?

the actual wallet address password you used when you created it?

Join http://monero.crypto-pool.fr/

simpleminer :
C:\path_to_simpleminer\simpleminer.exe --pool-addr=monero.crypto-pool.fr:1111 --login=your_address_here --pass x

minerd :
C:\path_to_minerd\minerd.exe -a cryptonight -o monero.crypto-pool.fr:6666 -u your_monero_address -t number_of_thread

Already close to 20% of the network I think.

Recommend people to avoid joining this one if not there already and soio mine or use other pools.

These risks aren't really that great because you can always resell the hardware. You're not buying something specialized that will lose value if MRO or even cpu coins in general stop using it. In fact there might be an argument for buying used in the first place, to minimize depreciation (not always true though, especially with good use of promotions on new gear).

I do agree that just buying is often a good substitute for mining, especially if you don't have the experience with and aptitude for dealing with hardware on a shoestring budget. That itself is a specialized skill (different from conventional IT for example)

If you are currently mining using the older miner, please switch to stratum mining for max profits!

I actually consider investing more accessible than mining, particularly for those looking to make significant profit (see below). Building a computer from parts is beyond what most people are comfortable with. The ordinary person should simply devote some cores (~50%) on their regular desktop to essentially mine for free and support the network. This is probably the vision Satoshi had in mind for Bitcoin.

When it comes to 'serious' mining, the calculations are complicated. For the same capital input, you're almost always better off investing in a currency than investing in hardware if that currency is set to go up. Having a mining rig is a hedge. It's basically risk mitigation through diversification -- if the particular currency fails, you can move on to another one (or sell the hardware, which has a disconnected price).

The standard risk-reward correlation is pretty much inescapable. Hence for the same costs, mining (lower risk) carries lower reward compared to investing. There's also risky mining, e.g. buying a bunch of VPS instances, but this carries correspondingly higher reward if things work out.

So recommendations for hardware can't really be based on Monero, because it necessarily involves the broader CPU coin market. It's also constantly changing based on altcoin liquidity and the price of BTC. Add on top of that the risk of this becoming a GPU (or ASIC) coin. All these complications make it easier for the ordinary person to just get a coinbase.com account and invest.
