I keep my xmr in a mymonero.com wallet. Last time I logged in, it gave me a message that I have to pay 10 xmr to import my transactions. What happened?
My old address is gone, and the wallet won't show my balance.

Edit: when that happened, I was using a Japanese VPN. I switched to a U.S. vpn, logged in again and my wallet works normally. Can somebody explain?

You definitely used the same login key each time, right? If so, then it sounds like the VPN is doing something funny. The only time it would show you a different address is if your seed / keys were modified by poisoned Javascript. I'd be VERY nervous using that VPN.

Same 13 words. It has a checksum, so it's highly unlikely this thing happened as a result of mistyping it.
I was using the Android OpenVPNConnect app and the University of Tsukuba VPN software, which is used by hundreds of vpn servers in dozens of countries. Go to vpngate.net, choose a server and decide whether you want to use OpenVPN, IPsec, SSL or sstp. I chose a server in Japan, because it has the highest throughput.
It seems strange, if this was malware, that they would ask for 10 xmr, when presumably the goal is to get the contents of my wallet.
I'll transfer my funds from mymonero to a different wallet.

Regardless of the discussion above, simplewallet is more privacy preserving than MyMonero because the latter needs your viewkey in order to show the balance.

Update from MoneroMooo:

Quote

Another milestone done. This one took longer because I took a break after the 0.9 push.

Main things I've done on this milestone:

fixes for the wallet creating txes over max size the daemon will accept
more work on tests (including tests for the MRL-0004 changes)
going through all the V1/V2 stuff to catch what I saw was wrong
fix for txes not expiring from pool due to other nodes coming online regularly
better handling of pending/failed txes in simplewallet
new command/RPC to flush txes from the txpool
preventing two daemons from using the same data dir concurrently
more intelligent handling against duplicate outs

Ok. I put that command to linux command line inside the folder where simplewallet is. Not to inside running simplewallet software. I gues you ment that. Looks like you are almost right. You just missed dot and slash at the beginning of the command. It should be this way.

Are you entering the command all on one line with no extra spaces in between. If you have a line break after AbtF5Ps as shown above or any extra spaces it would not work

So like this:

Code:

$ ./simplewallet --generate-from-view-key 49bPEMu2NiJCDPAvzDDTJCfcRKcdSmB5P3XFbMbw7m1rJt7cotJeFJEZVhTFguYeQ4TNEvPwAbtF5PsJQ9iEKz8mH2WmQo3:794d99ba442931954d00de76218f62a85692fbffd544590a0f5d913149fed0a:lookwallet

My blockchain got corrupted when the electricity stopped. I resynced from scratch and it took about 24 hours. Previously I resynced from scratch a few times on the same machine on the same USB3 external hdd and on the same internet connection for 1-3 hours (it was on bitmonerod 0.9.0 tagged and before tagged, not 0.9.1). What could be the issue with the slow sync this time?

I'm not sure I'm understanding. Are you using the same version as before?

What CPU do you have?

I'm using 0.9.1 now. Previous times I was using 0.9.0 tagged and previous version (0.9.0 before tagged). Windows 7 64x. Mobile Core I7 (4 cores, 8 logical cores, 6 MB cash, with AES-NI).

Thank you for clarifying. We are looking into it.

I ran 0.9.1 again and it got to block 135000 in 43 minutes and block 270000 in 2 hours and 25 minutes. Then i checked my .bat file and the "--db-sync-mode fastest:async:10000" option was missing (fastest:async:1000 is the default and I'm using 10000, but it seems I deleted it by mistake). Then I started it again with the option added and it got to 135000 in 17 minutes and to 646069 in 2 hours and 25 minutes. That was the speed I experienced with 0.9 beta2. I hope I didn't alerted all the dev team. Great missive and great dev team. Congratulations to the new members. Keep the good work going.

Thank you for the follow up. We're going to take a look at whether there is a better default for the parameter, although higher numbers increase memory usage, so it may not be best for everyone to increase it.

That's what I expected too, but trying with 1000, 10000, 25000 and 100000 I can't see overall difference in RAM usage on my 16GB RAM system. It's using about 1 GB RAM on my system during sync with each option and most of it is shareable. After sync it's using 500 MB. The private working set (not shareable) is just 36-50 MB on my system. Also on my system there is a good speed improvement between 1000 and 10000, but going to 25000 and 100000 doesn't improve the speed more and it stays the same.

Your observations are exactly what is expected; smooth misspoke about increased memory usage. Increasing the sync interval just controls how much unwritten data is allowed to accumulate in the FS cache, but that doesn't affect program RAM usage. (He was probably thinking about batch size, which *does* increase memory usage.)
And yes, there's a practical threshold above which there's no longer any performance difference, because when the cache flush hits, there's enough unwritten data in cache to keep the storage device 100% busy until the sync/flush finishes. (It's also possible that your system's default settings have automatically started flushing the cache before your specified interval hits.)

Thank you for the clarification. I'll test if increasing the --batch-size helps the sync speed on my system - there's plenty of free RAM I'm not using most of the time.

find a way to support the network with your monero! (buy mining equipment, buy a home node, pay some developers, etc).
