When binaries are updated, can you please add the date in the OP also? So we can check easily if we have the latest version running

THank you guys,

I think I cannot download the blockchain in windows, when I enter the "refresh" command in wallet, all I get is: "refresh failed, deamon busy, Blocks received:0"

I also get yellow color in the deamon window.

Any ideas?


First you have to finish downloading the whole blockchain. You must be synced. Then open the wallet. If problem persists just close everything and try again.

Sometimes its quite annoying. It may take 5-10 times closing and opening in order to work. Although i believe that if you let blockchain sync and open wallet a couple of minutes later you wont have a problem...


P.S. You must close deamon with "exit" unless you want to download blockchain every time Smiley

Easiest way to work around this is to just type "save" in the daemon. Once the daemon finishes saving (fast on monero, slower on bytecoin) wallet connections should work again.

updates have been pushed to the 0.8.6 branch.

to compile and use 0.8.6 test, do this:
Code:
git clone git://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero.git
cd bitmonero
git remote add upstream git://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero.git
git checkout --track origin/extraupdate
mkdir build
make -j4

In a couple days after people have played with it, I will merge to main. It contains numerous updates regarding tx_extra field in tx and allows compiling on 32 bit platforms.

it also contains a checkpoint, so the network will now fast sync to that block (22231).

Thank you. How will I know if its fully synced or track its progress?

when you open daemon it says how many blocks you need to download and it also says with green letters that you are sync.

If not change the vocality of daemon by typing   set_log 2

Thanks again / By typing set_log 2 I can now see more details Smiley

The daemon is downloading the blockchain, not the wallet. After the daemon is fully synchronized, the wallet can be refreshed. Don't worry about the colors in the daemon.

Monero (XMR) - secure, private, untraceable
How can I install it on windows? I just downloaded the binaries zip folder.

No installation involved, just run the executables from command line. See the mining guide.

Thank you. I created the /bat file as shown in the OP. Now a new window appears asking for a wallet password. This password is like the bitcoin-qt wallet password, eg used for encryption and required before sending funds? Or something different?
The first time you run it you set the password. Then each other time when you open the same wallet you use the password you chose.

Good idea. We also really need a version numbering system.

I am following bytecoin's lead.  Newest version will be 0.8.6.

Important!

We have a pool bounty going. As you've probably noticed, network hashrate is going up. When the 32-bit code is merged in, it'll go even higher. Solo mining outcomes will then be pretty random.

tacotime has a dev who will work on an open source pool implementation for a bounty. See this topic/post: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.6520464

Where is the address that this money needs to be going to? Someone's gotta step up and take the funds . . generosity usually only comes in ten minute windows for most people Smiley

edit: I would totally feel that you'd do great at collecting and managing the funds Smiley

I can make a wallet, but eizh can too, I will update the thread in a bit (working on update to latest version)

Cool, already sent to the one you posted in IRC.
