I guess this Monero bootstrap-file
https://downloads.getmonero.org/blockchain.raw
is there to avoid for waiting the synchronization of the bitmonerod to the blockchain.

So how the bootstrap-file can connected to the bitmonerod?

./blockchain_import --input-file blockchain.raw

i think that might do it

Well that worked. Anyway it is not useful to use bootstrap-file since synchronization online is a lot faster. I will do it that way.

I have a question  Grin

will it be possible to have a service/layer such as XCP on top of xmr blockchain / how would it works?


not the exchange obv but the ability to issue share and sell/pay dividend to shareholders; while keeping privacy.

i'm lame with monero fundamental tech so I ask

let's say i want to crowdfund/IPO the next darkmarket; napster; wikileaks or TPB; I can't really do that using XCP or bitcoin.

let's say i wanna openly avoid taxation or gov control to crush competition or just to be free; i still can't use btc.

I assume it can't be achieved copying xcp because it HAS to work differently; but don't know if monero's crypto totally prevent that kind of use; if it has already been thought by some dev idk...

thanks

Watch-only wallet shows incorrect balance - it shows sum of all incoming transactions, if there were payments from the wallet balance will be wrong.

Yes, that's right. Spends have to be accounted for separately and subtracted. The function of watch wallets is to show incoming payments.

Crypto is the separation of Power and State.

WHOA!!!!!  
  
Someone made a fancy version of my concept I did a few months ago!  So awesome - I love it!  Are you responsible for this GTO911?  
  


edit: I'm doing some digging - it was user aiwe?  So cool to see; thank you for keeping the concept alive and growing.  Also I agree with the bone simple version.  Yes, it can be technically nitpicked, but the idea is to show how Monero is the holy grail of money to someone who doesn't understand or know about Monero in the first place.  It's not trying to be an end-all technical reference.  
  
If someone likes, they can make two versions: an intro version (this one), and an advanced one showing all sorts of tiny technical details.

I'd like an even more simplified version, with the outer word-labeled circles cropped leaving only the three gold/cash/BTC icon fields surrounding our logo.

That would be avatar-worthy....

few times.


Then, trying again, simplewallet just gives unknown command. Might be this because blockchain has not synchronized yet. I downloaded the monero blockchain bootstrap. How it can be connected to the simplewallet or the bitmonored? To which one of those it has to be connected?



yeah ure bitmonerod needs to be running and syncd

What would be the exact GPU with the highest H/s ?
And how much H/s would it / does it do?

Is 290X really the fastest one available?

What's important for a high hash rate?

High GPU Clock?
High memory clock?
High volume of memory?
High bus speed?

of the reported hashrates, the 290x is the best available.

In my experience with nvidia maxwell architecture (750 series), the GPU clock is important (for instance there's a 750 ti with a clockrate of 1020, and there's one with 1200. The 1020 gets 250 h/s, the 1200 gets 280 h/s. Both use the same amount of memory as reported by nvidia-smi command).

Volume of memory is also important. For instance, the 750 (not the 750 ti) has 1 gig of memory, and can only get ~200 h/s with the 1020 Mhz clock.

Wolf has studied this the most (in AMD cards at least), so he could probably provide some insight.

Is there any site where I can use view key to check the balance of the wallet? I guess I can use the simplewallet for that, but is there any site for it? Or any other solution?

I don't think view key lets you see balance, actually, only received amounts.

It does work for cold storage.

Alternately, if you can account for spends another way, you can then subtract them, giving a balance. This is a bit tricky to do correctly since change will be scanned by the view key, so you have to subtract the payment amount plus the change amount on any spends.


Yea. I am looking some way to check the balance of my cold storage, paper wallet. Would be great if the view key gave balance directly without need for user to do any calculations. But it is possible also that way.

But is there any site for that? Or have I to use some wallet software?

I think only using simplewallet right now, but it is possible someone else knows of another way.

What is the command in simplewallet to that?

It is this one:

Code:
  --generate-from-view-key arg         Generate incoming-only wallet from 
                                       (address:viewkey:filename) and save it



Sorry I did not get the point completely. I tried this.

Simplewallet says unknown command. Can you give a example command with those same address, viewkey and filename.

Flippin' burgers since 1163.
Because on Shapeshift XMR is inactive I managed to exchange BTC to XMR at https://www.changer.com/
It took longer time comparing to Shapeshift but it worked for me.


Sent ShapeShift an email about the issue, but in the meanwhile you can use the direct link:

what's on bittrex with XMR?
continuously adding and deleting buys and sells...
an insane bot playing with himself?

Others have complained about it as well, namely that it was nearly impossible to buy (using limit order bids) with that bot active. If I recall correctly, the price there pretty much follows the one on poloniex, therefore the bot action. Why not use poloniex and/or shapeshift?

So now that the monerodo OS is out, im kinda bored and don't know what to do.

If you have suggestions for what next with the monerodo OS, please let me know here:

https://forum.getmonero.org/20/general-discussion/2474/monerodo-os-discussion

i started trying to integrate a fancier menu thing, but it hasn't been behaving like I would like so far.
