Bittrex tweet says they would like assistance from a dev to add cryptonote coins. Someone should get in touch

Yeah, Bittrex would be a very very good addition. They're also very responsive and fast to add.

how much time to sync without the blockchain? I cant realize where to put the chain in order for the wallet to use it. srsly.

long time.

are you on windows 7 or 8? If so, it goes here: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Bitmonero\blockchain.bin

thank you very much, it synched alright, but now when I open my wallet.bin it says it couldnt connect to daemon host:8080 w/e ....

Can you provide more details of what you are doing, what platform, commands etc.  You error message refers to a different port from when I try to start wallet without daemon running:

Quote
F:\>simplewallet.exe --wallet-file wallet.bin
bitmonero wallet v0.8.6.295(0.1-g7620d55)
password: ********************
Opened wallet: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Error: wallet failed to connect to daemon (http://localhost:18081). Daemon either is not started or passed wrong port. P
lease, make sure that daemon is running or restart the wallet with correct daemon address.

[wallet xxxxxxx]:

I am running simplewallet.exe, input wallet.bin(the name), then password, and then it shows error:failed to connect to daemon(localhost:18081) etc. I have windows 7 64bit, and I have created the original bat in the OP and synched correctly with blockchain(or at least it seems so)

I'm not sure about the .bat recommended in the OP but you don't need it, you can just run the two separate commands manually in two command windows.

The wallet is only important to get an address to send coins to, once you have the address you don't need to have the wallet running when mining, only to check your balance occasionally. The mining can be done with simpleminer.exe, or with bitminerod.exe.  I use bitminerod.exe.  Here is what my startup command looks like

Quote
bitmonerod --start-mining $$$$$$$$$$ --log-level 0 --mining-threads 7

The key is shown as $$$$$$$$$$ and is much longer, but I shortened it to show the command on one line.

Even if your wallet does not connect, I think you can still get the address. The easiest way is to get it from address.txt which it should create on first startup in the same directory as your wallet.bin. If not then just run bitmonerod and leave it running on one command window, then start the wallet in another command window.

Once mining starts it should report on the sync and produce some output like this:

New source (0.8.8.1) is up with optimizations in the hashing. Hashrate should go up ~4x or so, but may have CPU architecture dependence. Windows binaries are up as well for both 64-bit and 32-bit.

So, is there a better miner, On my 6 core amd, it's getting at most like 11 Hashes. I'm currently mining with the cryptonote miner program, that is recommended by moneropool.org. Thanks.  5 threads.

According to the pool stats I'm putting out 39H/s.. but the concern is the network hash rate is huge.. 572KH/s.


Moneropool.org says 1.75 .. down from 2.x this morning..

moneropool.org is up to 2KHs, (average of 26Hs per user).  But that's still only 0.3% of the reported network rate of 575Khs.  

So either a large botnet is mining, or someone's sitting quietly on a much more efficient miner and raking in MRO.

And the pools report last block found on network "about a minute ago", yet the pools themselves find nothing for hours or days. I have 5 CPU's mining with 95 H/s. What kind of setup is making up the rest of the hashing power? Maybe someone has sorted themselves out with a working GPU miner...

What is the total hash rate for these pools? It isn't hard to figure out how often they should expect to get blocks, so it is silly to make these statement without numbers to back it up.

I wouldn't rule out bugs in the pool software and/or pool deployments and/or pool mining clients. They are all very new.

Let's look at some numbers and see if there is really any there there.

I figure its either:

  • A 20-30000 computer bot-net
  • Someone developed a gpu miner on the quiet
  • The pools are all reporting the wrong network data (I hope its this - but the rate of discovery of blocks by pools would suggest otherwise)

Is there a bounty for a GPU miner?


It's not a botnet. Its an admin with a lot of servers. So its someone who has invested a lot of money and hast costs to cover. I dont know if you guys realise but there wasnt a cryptocoin as exciting since Bitcoin. Thus, this project attracted a lot of people with CPU farms,  many Hero members and people with the skills to optimise code. What do you think would have happened if people had this awareness about crypto in 2009 ? People would have invested big money into mining. This is what is happening. I suggest that if you can't mine, or if you cant mine as much as you would like, buy and buy fast before you regret it.

Even with this explanation, I feel that something is not right. I get the feeling that someone is taking all the blocks...

Where do i see how much i have mined?Huh I'm mining for an hour now, didn't receive shit

maybe the pool didn't find any blocks.

simplewallet: type refresh

I opened simplewallet.exe and it says 'wallet file name:' what do i have to type?

Have you already created a wallet address? If so, you will have a file in the same folder as simplewallet.exe, probably called wallet.bin. So type wallet.bin

If you have not have this wallet.bin file, I'm not sure how you can be mining, since you must enter your wallet address to begin mining.

i'm thinking about mining in a pool with simpleminer.exe, does this support to select number of threads to mine ?

i have a 8-core cpu, i guess simpleminer.exe will automatically run with 8 threads ?
Type cores=8 to config file

then there's only one instance of simpleminer? or does it still launch 8 windows?

we need to go on coinmarketcap asap

is there a explorer that show the number of mined coins in real time?

then i sent a request

When you run pool. My balance: 15.997700000000, but you wrote about 16 MRO yesterday
Sent another 4 MRO.

moneropool.org found another block. Payments go out after 60 confirmations (~1 hour).
