Topic: [XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency - page 601. (Read 4670673 times)

Hi guys, I'm not sure if you have decided on a name for the first non beta release yet but I would like to put forth "warptangent", I think it would be a fitting tribute.

Interact with a local Monero Simplewallet via the Chrome or Chromium browser!

• Monitor your wallet's balance
• Send and receive XMR
• Create integrated payment addresses
• Check incoming payment information
• Store contacts' addresses and information
• Make fast payments to Monero URIs found in open browser tabs (you can test this out on the Monero Development Team's donations page or on the donations button on the extension's Settings page!)

Monero Wallet for Chrome can be installed from the Chrome Store or from it's Github repository. This extension is not a full wallet, but rather is an interface to Monero's official command line wallet. As such, it is important to note that this wallet does not store any sensitive information about your wallet (view key, seed, etc), though you can use this wallet to view these pieces of information.

Note: For the extension to work, you need to have an instance of simplewallet running in "RPC Mode" on the same computer as your browser. On installation, a Getting Started dialog will help you set up simplewallet to talk to the extension. In addition to the dialog, I have developed scripts for OS X and Linux to aid in this setup, and plan to add one for Windows soon™. In short, you should launch simplewallet with the following flags in order to use the extension:
You can use this extension with any simplewallet wallet that already exists, or make a brand new one. You just need to "refresh" a new wallet once to make sure it is synced before connecting it to simplewallet.

Please, please, please give feedback if you have any! I've tried to make this as user friendly as possible, but it is still in beta, and does require a small bit of work up front setting up simplewallet. Until all of the functionality of simplewallet can be incorporated into the browser/extension, this wallet will require simplewallet to be run in parallel to the extension. I hope to announce a contest for voting on a set of wallet icons soon. Let me know what you think of the current logo, and if you have an idea for a new logo feel free to start designing one! More to come regarding this in the coming weeks. Finally, a huge thanks to /u/dEBRUYNE_1, /u/gingeropolous, and /u/dnale0r for their help testing the extension. Also a big thanks to /u/smooth_xmr, /u/moneromooo, and many more of the core team and other contributors for their help, advice, and support as I worked toward getting this together.

It seems Monero is back on Shapeshift:

I see xmr is going down very very quickly.What is going on ?

The viewkey is completely unrelated to any IP address identification.

If you are asking about the sender uncovering the receiver's address, then he already has it (he needs it to send funds in the first place). The receiver, on the other hand, cannot tell the sender's address, only that he received money from somewhere.

So the fund sender can uncover and identify the IP of the receiver by ViewKey?

Just FYI, semiweekly = 2x / week. On the other hand, biweekly can be either 2x / week or every other week, but usually means every other week. Perhaps you could use "fortnightly" for an abundance of clarity.


All users have their own viewkey.
