I've been exploring and trying to set up a node running in one of my local PCs (Windows 7) for the intent purpose of allowing Monerujo to connect to it as my private node instead of using one of the public nodes for obvious reasons.

These are my port forwards (DD-WRT router):

These are the args inserted in the monerod Shortcut Target:

~monerod.exe --rpc-bind-ip 0.0.0.0 --restricted-rpc --confirm-external-bind

I then used the following node address in Monerujo as my (private) node address:

EXT.WAN.IP.ADDRESS:18081

Unfortunately, Monerujo says: "Cannot reach node! Try again or another." Is there anything I missed in my setup? Since I'm definitely networking/CLI-challenged, I wouldn't be surprised.

I also tried it on a Windows 7 GUI wallet (netbook) for good measure but nothing happens when I click on "Connect":

That's the correct command / setup (though you might want to add the --rpc-login flag too to set a specific login + username). Can you check if your ports are properly opened / forwarded?

Okay, trying to catch up to the latest transfer changes here. The command for transfering is the following:

transfer [] []

[]

1. What is the lowest priority? I read somewhere that 0 means normal (aka 4x) and 1 is unimportant (x1). is that correct?
2. How much is 1x? 1 times what?
3. Are zero fees not included?
4. I looked at a block explorer and there are many blocks smaller than 300 KB. Am I correct in my assumption that this means any transaction will be picked up by miners in such a block? (<300KB)
5. I remember there are restrictions added to ring_size. Is that true? Is there a minimum now?
6. How do you select again which inputs get used? (or predict which will if it's an automatic process)

Thanks!

1. "unimportant" is the lowest priority. You can make this default by typing "set priority 1".

2. It's related to the dynamic fee algorithm. See: https://getmonero.org/2017/12/11/A-note-on-fees.html

3. Zero fees are not possible with the default CLI/GUI wallet. However, fees are not enforced on a consensus level, i.e., you could theoretically tweak the code, compile it yourself, and broadcast a transaction with a fee lower than the unimportant level.

4. If the mempool is lower than 300 kB (and your transaction is in the mempool), the miner will include it in the next block.

5. Yes, 5 is the minimum. If you simply leave out the [] of your command, it'll use 5 as ring size. In other words, transfer

will use 5 as ring size.

6. As far as I know, you can't literally choose them yourself (you can choose a different amount to get different outputs though). However, you can use "set print-ring-members 1" and it'll show you which outputs the transaction will use. Furthermore, it'll warn you if you are trying to spend multiple outputs that are detrimental to privacy, i.e., outputs that came in the same transaction (for some reason) or two outputs from two transactions from the same block.

Hopefully this sufficiently answered your questions.

is there a specific reason why XMR is skyrocketing right now?
i support XMR through mining for 6 months now, glad that it finally is appreciated the way it should be but why now? Grin

@visdude
Try the wallet on a computer in your LAN, and use the private (LAN IP) of the machine running the daemon.
Also worth double-checking, have you opened those ports in the firewall on the daemon machine?

If you were gonna pad your post count, at least post something significant and useful...not just for the sake of posting in order to pad your post count [intentional circular reference].

Nice developments.

I think this weekend we'll see $500.

I think 600 / 700 easy , very undervalued compared to other projects.

I am a new to Monero and running into some issues syncing the blockchain for the first time.

I downloaded and ran monero-gui-v0.11.1.0 . The sync was taking over a day and still had a lot left so I looked for ways to speed this up. I read you can download the raw blockchain (https://www.monero.how/tutorial-how-to-speed-up-initial-blockchain-sync) imported and finished the sync. Once it finishes I save and shut down the daemon. I launched the gui and it tries to start syncing all over again. Am I doing something wrong? I thought the blockchain was fully synced and downloaded and I don't know if it will ever finish syncing through the Gui. Any suggestions on getting the blockchain to sync faster through the gui? Thank you for your help!

See:

Note: This sync actually involves two kinds of syncing. First, the blockchain sync, which is basically downloading the blockchain from other nodes / peers. Second, the wallet sync, which is the wallet “refreshing” / scanning blocks looking for transactions belonging to your address / wallet. The GUI is currently using the same status bar for both syncs, which can be a bit confusing to newcomers. Fortunately, this will be fixed in the next release. Thus, if you see the “Blocks remaining:” starting all over again, it’s the wallet refreshing.

Multisignature has been merged: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/7kfuqy/multisignature_just_got_merged/

Thank you, devs! Another great accomplishment!

yeah, from now on it can be integrated into the next core wallet release and this is a huge advance, I think it will move the market.

Thank you for your help!

On what system? Was it syncing the blockchain, or the wallet to the blockchain? You can connect to a remote node for use until your own copy of the blockchain is ready to go.

I find that starting the daemon, and not starting GUI until after it is up to speed ~~works best~~ is the only way to make it work on my old windows setup. I put this entirely down to old hardware that was not fast even new, and of course, windows. As has been posted before, cutting edge software works best on cutting edge hardware.

My local system has an AMD 6 core processor, 12 gb memory, SSD, and a 100 Mbit fiber connection. It is not the newest computer but I didn't think it would take this long to sync. The disk usage doesn't go over 10%, the cpu doesnt go over 38%, and network is under 3 Mbps. I don't actually know the if it is syncing the blockchain or the wallet to the blockchain.

Below is what I did:

Downloaded and installed Monero https://downloads.getmonero.org/win64
Downloaded and copied blockchain.raw to monero gui folderhttps://downloads.getmonero.org/blockchain.raw
Imported the blockchain monero-blockchain-import.exe --verify 0 --input-file ./blockchain.raw
Ran the daemon until it was fully synced monerod.exe
Saved with save
Opened Monero Gui with monero-wallet-gui.exe
Entered password and the status at the bottom left said it was Synchronizing

The synchronizing that seems to take forever is the one at the bottom left within the wallet. To troubleshoot I also rebooted, deleted the monero programs folder, redownloaded monero, deleted c:\programdata\bitmonero, deleted C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\bitmonero, deleted the registry location Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\monero-project and started over. Also at one point started over and used the monero-wallet-cli.exe after the blockchain synced with monerod.exe but I didn't know how to open an existing wallet, so I deleted it all and started over with the gui instead of cli at that step. Thanks for your help as I learn more about this.

Below is a screenshot of the synching window I am referencing.

Sounds like you deleted the blockchain in your troubleshooting.
Your system seems sufficient that if you just let it run, it would be done or nearly so the next morning.
You did not mention what OS. Not that I have a clue, but by now I at least know the basic info the guru's will want in order to help you Wink

With your system I think I'd just start the GUI and let it do the rest. Check on it in a day or two.

I am running Windows 10 and also updated the first post. I will let it run over night and see where it is in the morning (last time 24 hours was not enough). Thanks for help so far. If anyone else also has ideas I am welcome to hear them too.

It starts to get less profit for me in mining XMR, perhaps switching to trading only.
