Proof-of-Stake Blockchain Network
Wallet:
Error: refresh failed: daemon is busy. Please try later. Blocks received: 0

bitmonerod:

set_log 1 active and it downloading blocks, how long do I have to wait to refresh and/or start mining?

You must wait until sync finish.  You will get message in bitmonerod:

You are now synchronized with the network. You may now start simplewallet.

Please note, that the blockchain will be saved only after you quit the daemon wi
th "exit" command or if you use "save" command.
Otherwise, you will possibly need to synchronize the blockchain again.


Then you start wallet and mining.

Remember to type save in bitmonerod after sync to write blockchain to hard drive and use exit in bitmonerod when closing to save blockchain on hard drive.  It does not write to hard drive automatic.

Hmm Installed the wallet and the bat file, wallet starts but cannot make it to mine, I get error refresh failed : deamon is busy please try later
blocks received 0

Ok just saw someone else with the same problem.

so basically just have to wait?

you need to wait for the network to synchronize, in the daemon type "set_log 1" and you can see what height you're currently on, synced is height 10000+

We are on block 10,000+, so give it a little while.

If you are on linux, you can use this blockchain.dat (put it in $HOME/.bitmonero)

HEIGHT = block number?

correct

Can you run Monero miner through TOR? If yes, what change would need to made to the bat file on the opening page? I'm using Windows.
thanks

As far as i know there is no proxy support? Can someone advice on this.

you can bind other ips/ports as given above.  however, you should not use tor for mining as the latency is very high and you run the risk of your blocks being orphaned.  use a vpn/vps instead.

Nice. Bytecoin is extremely confusing. https://bytecoin.org/ and http://bytecoin.biz/  Huh Huh

This coin is based on Bytecoin.org, its not a BTC Clone. It was confusing for me also in the beginning Wink
Try to read up on the Bytecoin thread; https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bcn-bytecoin-secure-private-untraceable-since-2012-512747
I know, I was saying it is confusing to have two coins named the same thing.

Cant sync

in daemon type "set_log 1", you should see blocks downloading.  else type "exit" and restart the daemon.

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:78 (message):
  Boost version 1.54 is unsupported, more details are available here
  http://goo.gl/RrCFmA


-- Found Git: /usr/bin/git
-- Could NOT find Threads (missing:  Threads_FOUND)
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

boost 1.54 isn't supported because it has a bug in it that breaks cryptonote coins.  you need to install 1.53 or 1.55.  ubuntu 13.10 has 1.53 as the default library, hence why it is recommended.

i highly suggest you just install ubuntu 13.10 alongside whatever your linux os is and mine with that, and if you want to use the wallet just run a vm.  it took me about 2 hours to get it up and running on 14.4.

See help for the daemon for info about port forwarding:
Code:
./bitmonerod --help
2014-Apr-24 20:54:57.041785 Starting...
bitmonero v0.8.5.294(0.1-g0fd82c9)

Allowed options:

Command line options:
  --help                                Produce help message
  --version                             Output version information
  --os-version
  --data-dir arg (=/home/mydesktop/.bitmonero)
                                        Specify data directory
  --config-file arg (=bitmonero.conf)   Specify configuration file

Command line options and settings options:
  --log-file arg
  --log-level arg (=0)
  --no-console                   Disable daemon console commands
  --rpc-bind-ip arg (=127.0.0.1)
  --rpc-bind-port arg (=18081)
  --p2p-bind-ip arg (=0.0.0.0)   Interface for p2p network protocol
  --p2p-bind-port arg (=18080)   Port for p2p network protocol
  --p2p-external-port arg (=0)   External port for p2p network protocol (if
                                 port forwarding used with NAT)
  --allow-local-ip               Allow local ip add to peer list, mostly in
                                 debug purposes

I've never done CPU mining. Is it better to mine with the wallet, or to mine with a program like minerd?

Use wallet and Linux build instructions above

Additionally, this is a pain in the ass to install on anything but Ubuntu 13.10, so please install that particular distro.

With a Core i7 quad you will get 2-3 blocks per day right now.
