Look, it's not a big deal, I am just wondering why I should give this guy my names and phone numbers when i can just buy from the cryptonote exchange? Does his exchange really add enough value over a normal exchange that it would be reasonable to require that much extra info?

Hi,

I saw your site, looks great!

However, I immediately left and will be staying away from it indefinitely due to the fact that you ask for my first name, last name, and phone number?...I don't really have anything to hide but IMO you would not be collecting that information unless you planned on doing something with it, as it is completely unnecessary to facilitate exchanging of coins, this makes me nervous.

Furthermore, the ONLY time I have EVER been asked my name in the wild west that is crypto is when I am trying to sell bitcoin for u.s. dollars, which is understandable.

Monero (MRO) is available for voting at ICURREX.com 

One small correction


The relationship between cryptonote and bytecoin is not clear. On the cryptonote web site they portray the two as separate groups who don't necessarily communicate much. Little if any other information is available.

I think a lot of people feel that the train has left the station. there are many things you could do.
1. buy monero on exchange
2. get a better computer
3. mine with what you have and be patient.

3 week old currency. you are getting in on the ground floor. Some questions here or concerns can be read from the original post.
1. the current devs are not the devs of the technology. it is adopted from Bytecoin. Bytecoin (go to bytecoin.org) is the first implementation of cryptonight developed by a seperate organization that is called cryptonote.
2. apparently from the anonymous developers (we do not know who they are. There were/are some rumors for possible cicada 3301 connection but this is not confirmed. Please review Bytecoin thread for this. There are two bytecoin threads (one is cryptonight algorithm, the other is a bitcoin clone. )
3. totally new tech and things have to be build from the ground up. Original work for pools, exchanges and such.
4. This is not a litecoin, bitcoin clone. This is new algorithm called cryptonight and intended to be cpu only. (some think it may be cracked in future, to this no one currently invloved knows. the current devs are volunteers.
5. As this is not a GPU coin, and its intention is mass adoption ( i am gathering this from the developers mission statement), then hopefully no gpu will be able to adopt it.

from what little I understand, gpus (asics) can do simple tasks repetitively very well. CPU are poor at this, however CPU's perform complex tasks very well and gpu (asics) can not. This technology takes advantage of the uniqueness of cpu.

to others that are more knowledgeable please correct above post.

That's just a file name you're picking, so you can keep track of the files. Inside the files are keys and your 95 char addresses.

Im now trying to sync the blockchain but its taking a while.

I have a question - on the setup video on monero.cc it says you choose your wallet name? How is it I then see 95 character addresses?

The coin is looking promising - cant wait for the pools to be setup as my cpu is an i3 and I shouldnt imagine Ill be getting much with the hash. GPU mining will be good.

it is probably a language thing, and it is by no means meant personal, but this behaviour of members not participating on the development is horrible. monero is one of the most promising projects out there and sometimes development needs time. I am not a developer and I am simply freeriding their time and effort spent - the last thing I would do is complaining about the development speed.

By this I want to say thank you for the effort and time spent by the developers. kudos to the team for the impressive improvements until now - never forget this coin is three weeks old. 

As above stated , just go to monero.cc and read the Getting started page

1) Into C:\\%my_username%\AppData\Roaming\bitmonero
2) Windows Server 2008 R2 x64

Sorry, I've cleaned all those files, started all again, and now it seems to me daemon is synchronizing. About 2 days left now, 27 days were earlier.
Hope it would be synced well.
P.S. No, it freezed on synchronization, lol.

There is a GUI wallet being tested, feel free to test it if you like.

Pools are nearing completion, it has taken a while due to not being a copy paste coin.

When the GUI wallet can lanch?
When the pool can come out?
I can't mining anything with my I3 CPU

Where are you placing it? What bit version is your PC?

I understand now, thanks.
Don't you know why I can't sync it with downloaded blockchain.bin? I get this error:

That is a linux command.

Yes you don't need to use simple wallet to start mining but its the easiest and if your just mining on your personal computer there is no need to use that command with the adress just

start_mining

is all you need.

It comes in useful when you have more than one system mining but you want it to all go to the same address.

the equivalent windows command is something like

start_mining

in the bitmonerod.exe window.

^You could make the daemon to mine sending the command from the wallet you want to have the mining income to. This way you don't need to type the address, because the wallet knows it. You just type "start_mining number_of_threads".

Thank you.
Why is this written on http://monero.cc/getting-started/#installing-monero:
"./bitmonerod --start-mining MRO_address --mining-threads number_of_threads
This line above is the only one you have to know for mining. Be it on your computer on another computer. You don’t even need your wallet open to mine".

This is daemon, not wallet.

lol, I answered it above...

Still no answer
Also, x64-version of bitmonerod says this (x32 works well):
