An Impressive Purely Anonymous Currency.
Can I suggest to the owners/developers of this coin that they store a relatively recent copy (Windows and Linux)of the blockchain on your website(link to cloud).

I would also suggest that you have two machines(windows and Linux) that upload their blockchain on a nightly basis.

At the moment I suspect the long sync time is putting people off.

This approach is taken by bytecoin, not sure on how often they update, and was a great help.

On a side note I think there is a problem long term for all coins as keeping wallets in sync is going to be a problem.

At the moment I use a computer that is dedicated to CPU mining and managing my wallets.

Not getting much hashrate on windows 8.1 and an 8 core AMD processor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113284

CPU working at 90% and getting hash rate of 4.8

Is this what I should be getting? I have left it mining now for 2 hours.

That CPU is not listed in the hardware comparison so hard to say. Everyone so far has reported getting a lower hash rate with the Windows build than compiling from source on Linux. If you want to optimize try that.

Where is the link to download the wallet ?

There is a link in OP. Right under the specifications.


Ok i download the windows binary, now i open the bitmonerod.exe, then i would like to open the simplewallet but nothing happen
I forgot one step?


You need to do

Code:
simplewallet --generate-new-wallet [wallet name]

Then you can open the wallet with

Code:
simplewallet --wallet [wallet name]


Thank you Smoothie  Wink

The reddit is now spiffier: http://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/

I doubt it'll be active for a few months given that MRO doesn't attract a mainstream crowd (yet). Go subscribe anyway to make it look bigger. Tongue

I've uploaded the Windows blockchain here and will periodically update it on the OP. As stated in the OP, if you can mine on Linux instead, do so. The hashrate will be significantly higher.

For people looking to sync their linux machines, I have uploaded a recent blockchain.bin here: DOWNLOAD
Where do I put this file blockchain.bin? This is going to take forever to sync.
I type "save" and "exit" but I do not see blockchain.bin anywhere.
It's in .bitmonero
exit the node, put the file you downloaded from the above link into that directory, and then restart the node

It is weird. I replaced the blockchain.bin in the .bitmonero folder but it doesn't work. When I launch ./bitmonerod it is still written (23 days behind) some are (10 days behind).
What does it means ?


Enter "Save" in the daemon window.

I can't mine just yet as the deamon is still syncing.

Any way to check just how far it has worked its way through the blockchain?

Cheers

No one like you
It looks like that the most modern desktop CPU like core i7 yields the best performance. I need to get my server retired because it is not relevant any more

After reading the post above, I've got a guick question to MRO miners. I was planning on using a few old servers (6 CORE OPTERON 32GB) and mining MRO but was wondering if I've perhaps missed the the boat and there is no point? Is there a way I can work out what I can expect or can anybody give me a rough idea?

Current network hashrate is diff / 60

Everyday there are 24*60 blocks miner

so (your_hr / network_hr) * (24 * 60) = number of blocks per day

Pools will be up soon in any case.
it was too hard to solo..
