Hi guys I am a noob but I have monero in an old wallet from 8.3.3

I have my keys file and address file and password as well. can anyone please instruct me on how to import them into the new wallet

To expand on smooth.

Make sure that if you upgrade, you upgrade on the same OS as where you made that old wallet. That is, if you made the wallet on Windows, you should download the Windows binaries and upgrade the wallet on Windows. Cross-sectional OS upgrading doesn't work as far as I know.

Thanks a lot both of you!

it has been so long since i have used monero i forgot exactly how to type a transfer command in and I keep getting Error: "Wrong address." the daemon says the block height is 1,006,000 roughly and I am NOT fully synced. so:

1. My deamon is not fully synced. is this the reason the for invalid address error?
and 2. what is the cause of this error (there's a good chance i typed it in wrong?)

thanks in advance

Is there anything, I should do (regularly) monitor, control or guarantee after deploying an XMR node? Or can I deploy and forget the node after the setup and don't have to do/check anything?

I am asking, because I can't check logfiles & activity of my nodes manually. Because I currently run 15 nodes and consider deploying some more, to help our project with network stability, quality and growth.

Currently I just have a cronjob, that controls if the Monero daemon is running and notifies me, if it can't restart the daemon.
At the moment, I monitor the uptime of VPS hosts via https://github.com/BotoX/ServerStatus

But I want to setup an Centreon instance and monitor all my VPS hosts and XMR daemons, via Centreon.
Later, I want to write an Centreon plugin for monitoring XMR nodes and delivering some stats about the nodes current stats (Block height, Peers connected, etc.) back into the Centreon.
Basically like people have written Bitcoin Nagios plugins, like: https://github.com/linuxconsultantsireland/check_btcpool/blob/master/check_btcpool

I am interested in talking with people, who also run alot of XMR nodes. So we can learn from another.

If you want to have it really hands off, run it with the

--enforce-dns-checkpointing

flag. This will basically keep your nodes in line with whatever the Core Devs deem is the right fork during times of network disorder. Granted, we should never have these, but the dns checkpointing is a fail-safe measure.

afaik

Is there a binary available for the Raspberry/ARM ?

I made a Pi-1 binary a while back. I think fluffypony has built the current code on Pi-2. What are you looking for?

Would be better if people stopped using that awful pool...

I said it once and I say it again:
This pool is the most convenient way for a newbie.
The other way is to make an open source alternative. No command lines, no black box windows.
I myself started with them 2 years before. I had the itch for cryptonotes, so I learn everything for your miners or for Claymore's.
Not that many newbies will do.

Support the Monero network by hiring a pre-installed full node for just 4$

Shit, I totally forgot about picking up the tab on this and been too busy doing St. Patty's day shenanigans... is the offer still valid or has the time expired on it already?

Hi phishead, luigi1111 kindly took the offer and extended the node for another whole month till 2016.04.20

However if you still like to support and not forget about it (and me not monthly spamming this place

, you can already chip in and extend till the 20th of May.

Last few days the bandwidth usage nicely increased. Seems like more people are joining the network (average this month is 2.5 GB upload per day):

Support the Monero network by hiring a pre-installed full node for just 4$

Recently I switched provider (more expensive, higher specs for simultaneously running a Bitcoin node) and I was wondering what to do with my current Monero node. It hurts a bit to just let it go, especially because it just runs great and is cheap. It is hosted at MikroVPS.eu for 4$ per month and they accept bitcoin (and so Monero through XMR.to).

So I was thinking there may be more users like me (I struggled hard but had great help from the community), who would like to support the Monero network but are not that much experienced configuring a Linux server. Therefore I would like to check if there is any interest in extending a fully hosted Monero node:

You can pay the equivalent of 4$ in Monero or Bitcoin, and the node will run for another whole month. You can check whether it is online here (just zoom in a little bit) since it is the only node running in the area.

Specs of the node, still valid till 2016-03-21
- 25 GB harddisk
- 512 MB RAM
- 250 GB bandwidth
- Ubuntu Linux 15.10 x64
- IP: 185.112.158.127

The Monero node is running from Hungaria, Budapest and is nicely filling up a gap on the map of Europe:

Bump, http://monero.miner.center/ has upgraded to the proper version. Still no progress from the other pools listed below. All others have upgraded and are safe to mine on.

List of pools that haven't upgraded yet:

If you are mining on a private pool, please check the block header manually (if the pool is on the right version) using the method I described.

Especially considering the hashrate of minergate.com, I think it is highly irresponsible and unprofessional behavior to not upgrade (or hopefully upgrade very last minute). If you are mining there I would move to a pool that acts professionally and actually cares about the Monero network. Ugh.
