I like to mine with wallet.

1) Run the daemon (bitmonerod) and wait it to fully sync.
2) Run the wallet with --trusted-daemon:

Code:

simplewallet --wallet wallet.bin --trusted-daemon

3) In simplewallet enter:

Code:

start_mining 2

*The number (2) is for number of threads. In general for best results you should use CPU_Cache/2MB for the number, so if your CPU cash is 6MB use 3 and if it's 8MB use 4.
*You'll get better hash rate if you enable huge pages in your OS and restart.
*You could exit the wallet after you started mining (mining is in the daemon). In the daemon type show_hr to see the hash rate or hide_hr to hide it.

Where on the roadmap is OCL mining integration? Is that part of the SmartMining wallet?

Nodes should be able to use the GPU without all the fuss of setting up a local pool front-end.

Doesn't it makes sense to put all the great AMD/nvidia code we paid Wolf0 to write in the standard distribution?

I agree, but Wolf0 has yet to fully tackle the solo mining component, and funding seems to have dried up for that effort because the optimize funds got fux0rd

Confidential Transactions - controversial and difficult in Bitcoin:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3zv7rt/confidential_transactions_might_kill_bitcoin/

I often don't find common ground with Luke-Jr, but his thoughts seem pretty much on the money here:

Quote

[–]luke-jrLuke Dashjr
I wouldn't worry about it. For better or worse, CT isn't likely to be considered for Bitcoin's main blockchain any time soon. Contrary to recent assertions, it is not softfork-able, and would be controversial to add as a hardfork due to the proof sizes (at least).

TLDR; HODL Monero. It's going to be difficult for Bitcoin to directly integrate privacy features in the near future.

luigi11111 pointed out that the recent update to the wallet generator to use custom entropy was broken in the way it got entropy from the user seed. A fix is now up on github. Since this had to be changed anyway, 10k iterations of Keccak are used to derive the seed from the user entropy, as suggested by smooth earlier.

Unfortunately, this means that the same string will yield a different seed, and therefore address, than the previous version. So if you did generate an address using custom entropy in the last few days, you should recreate it.

Thanks luigi1111.

This is a dangerous issue. Thank you for finding and correcting it so quickly.

Thanks luigi1111. Thanks MoneroMooo!

To be clear, this only applies to the custom entropy that was added last week. If you just use the normal entropy, you don't have to worry about anything.

Interesting comment from Shen about multisig

Quote from: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/3z3aqd/will_there_be_multisig_for_xmr_at_some_point/cyiy433

yep - very likely will be implemented in conjunction with the ring ct stuff

Following the "written up" link in the Ring CT post, section 4.4 of the paper describes how to implement "Ring multisignature". Some of the other CryptoNote coins have multisig, but only with 0 mixin.

Very nice work being done on the crypto front.

So soon™ I guess? :-P

Ring CT and Ring multisig will elevate the profile of Monero to the point where it can no longer be ignored. The longer we move forward while bitcoin argues about block size the more bitcoin maximalists that will convert to Moneroism.

Hey guys,

is there a wallet available which offers a graphical UI like the Bitcoin Wallets?

I think the best maintained one at the moment is lightWallet: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/lightwallet-a-lightweight-account-manager-for-monero-903579

Alternately the MyMonero web wallet, with the usual caveats about web wallets (though this particular one at least does not by design send your private keys to the server): https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/lightwallet-a-lightweight-account-manager-for-monero-903579

Also, Android app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ionicframework.monerowallet116498&hl=en

See https://getmonero.org/getting-started/choose for current options. There is no 'official' wallet yet. Alternatively, you could use https://mymonero.com, or run a node locally with simplewallet (command line).

I see. I mine on Minergate on few PCs at my reach because of convenient software and do merged mining of either MCN or FCN which I dump for XMR when collected enough minimum

You and everyone else. That's exactly why they aren't worth anything.

Quote

Hope they include new AMD GPU miner into their shiny app as they did with Nvidia.

Most likely I would guess.

I sure hope not. I'm not going to make accusations without hard evidence, but I am going to say, I *really* don't like that pool.

Their hash calculator told me I would earn the princely sum of $25 pa. Shocked

How about merged mining for Monero and Aeon?

Glad they also are funding miner, not only Monero community.

They are separate algorithms and independent chains.

There are a few coins you can merge mine with XMR theoretically but I don't know how much support for that there is any more since those coins have negligible value.
