...
sigh...I hope I didn't lose the funds. I think everything is synced so I did what u said and put the files in there. It does show the address that MoneroX created, but it says zero balance. It should say 118 XMR
Sorry for being dense, I'm used to having a GUI.
You need to start simplewallet and tell it to use account.bin, either as a command line option or from the terminal interface. Assuming you got that done right, make sure you try to type 'refresh' without quotes into simplewallet while daemon is running and synced.
daemon = bitmonerod.exe?
EDIT: Yep, thanks...works!
diff and status are commands that need to be entered into the daemon. To transfer coins out of your wallet you need to be fully synced. According to your last screenshot you are probably fully synced. Like I said, try diff or status in bitmonerod.exe (the daemon) and see if the block height is equal to the one reported on
http://moneroblocks.info/. The "-28 days ahead" is from a peer that is connected to you, but who is still syncing.
Yep, height is matching. Thanks.
I guess my next question is how to transfer funds...
transfer
[payment_id]
The last part confuses me...payment_id? also why surround that in brackets instead of chevrons like the others? I guess it is optional?
Again, I apologize in advance for being dumb.
[1] Payment ID is needed when sending to exchanges, merchants etc. Basically anyone that needs to verify the payment belongs to you. You can read more about it here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/47qa32/circumstances_to_use_a_paymentid_circumstances/[2] Between brackets because, like you correctly stated, it is an optional argument.
[3] If you don't specify the mixin number it will default to 4 in simplewallet, however the minimum is 2. Thus, let's say you want to donate 1 XMR to the core-team, who don't need to "identify" you, the full command would be:
transfer 4 46BeWrHpwXmHDpDEUmZBWZfoQpdc6HaERCNmx1pEYL2rAcuwufPN9rXHHtyUA4QVy66qeFQkn6sfK8aHYjA3jk3o1Bv16em 1
If you didn't specify the mixin number it would've defaulted to 4 anyway.
If you want to send 1 XMR to Poloniex, for instance, the full command would be:
transfer 4
1 [payment_ID_provided_by_poloniex] I'd advise to try it out with test amounts first to get a bit comfortable with it before sending large(r) amounts.
