Is there a tutorial on using GUI wallet with a remote node? (i.e. a light wallet setup)

https://moneroworld.com/#nodes

Do you know if there is some kind of node verification process? Like checking if the node is legit. It would be great if the wallet can somehow check and verify if the node is ok. I mean what is the risk using a remote node - risk about the money or risk about the privacy only.

Some modest privacy risks. Some risk that you might get fake or broken chain data. This doesn't directly risk your money but you could be tricked. For example, you might see your payment not being confirmed and be convinced to resend (now you have paid twice).

Your private keys stay on your local wallet itself, running on your own computer, which signs all transactions locally, so your funds can't be directly stolen by the node in any way.

Overall it is reasonably safe, but not quite as fully safe as your own node.

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

you should try to mine with a software, I've using it now and its great.

Why are you replying to a post that is there years old?

And what an inane post at that! Padding his sig campaign.

I havent tried deleting and resyncing. Do I just delete... what files? Not sure where they are..

If you are on windows 10 , delete or rename this folder and restart the daemon.

Owlcatz the syntax is correct. I am not sure that monerod is working properly.

This is the monerod log:

Strange, have you tried deleting the blockchain dir and resyncing? Are you using ssd or HD? Do you have a firewall installed preventing the p2p?

Wallet-cli seems to be running. I have logged in with my wallet name and password and it shows my balance. Can anyone tell me what syntax to use to send funds to poloniex using an address and id? I have tried

transfer

amount

to no avail because it says Error: payment id has invalid format, expected 16 or 64 character hex string

AFAIK, That's the correct CLI command syntax. Are you sure you have the correct poloniex payment id and they are not reversed?

Is this the only relevant coin untraceable?? If so, why it is not surpassing even Bitcoin?

There is not that much people that are using Monero compared to Bitcoin. With not that many people using it, the price of Monero is not going to surpass Bitcoin anytime soon.

Hoping someone can help me with this. I have monero in my gui wallet on my desktop. However the wallet is a few thousand blocks behind and hasnt moved in days.. How can I access my funds??

You probably need to update your GUI wallet to the Beta 2 version:
https://getmonero.org/2017/03/29/monero-gui-beta-2-released.html

Make sure you run version 0.10.3.1 of the daemon:
https://getmonero.org/downloads/

You could use an open node (it is however advised to run your own):

When you first open the GUI wallet, and the pop up asks to start the daemon, click on Use Custom Settings instead of letting it start.

Then, in Settings, change "Daemon Address" from localhost to node.moneroworld.com - Click connect. In a few seconds, you should be synced.

For reference using CLI:

Because BTC is more secure, bigger marketing, a lot more adoption, bigger community, older, famous, store of value; gold on steroids.
