It may well be that your wallet's idea of what outputs are spent got out of sync with the blockchain. I believe there is a bug there. One thing you can try that's pretty fast (assuming you're running your own daemon):
- run simplewallet with --trusted-daemon
- in simplewallet, run: rescan_spent

You can also run this in the daemon:
print_pool_sh

If you see your tx, it means it's not being mined. In this case, the likely reason is that it's a double spend caused by the sync problem above.



Thank you for your help!  I am actually going to try this first, then I'll resync if need be. 

You guys rock  \oo/

Git updates since last time:

Since last post:

- more wallet refresh speedups
- a few more berkeley db key fixes
- fixups for databases created with an early version of the db branch
- compatibility with older libdb
- new --offline daemon argument
- fixes to potential crashers in DB code
- optional use of TCP for DNS requests (plays nice with Tor)
- atomic wallet cache save (to avoid some types of corruption)
- misc tweaks to the README (using Tor, rlwrap)
- cleanup in daemon headers, to speed up builds
- a couple daemon exit hang fixes, and crash on ^C


Quoting because Bitcointalk is borked it seems.

If refresh doesn't work, next thing I would try is resyncing the wallet from scratch.

Move the wallet's .bin file to another directory - leave the .bin.keys file in the same place - then start up simplewallet and open your wallet as you normally would. It will start syncing from 0.

Thanks!  I'll try this one both of them and see what happens...

Hello All,


I was wondering if someone might be able to help me out.  I have been using monero since last summer and never had any issues sending coins, however yesterday afternoon (about 24 hours ago) I sent XMR from one of my wallets to another one of my wallets with simplewallet synced via bitmonerod.  The transaction said "money successfully sent", but the coins never showed up in my receiving address.  Not only that, but 24 hours later I still have a difference between my locked and unlocked balances in the sending wallet.  I sent 1200 coins with a mixin of 5.  Has anyone else experienced anything like this before, or I am just screwed?

Not sure what to do here given I have over 1200 XMR in limbo right now that cannot be accessed or seen, so any help of any kind would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks for your help ahead of time.  Happy Holidays!

Perhaps a stupid question, but have you actually refreshed both of your wallets? If not, just type refresh in simplewallet (make sure bitmonerod is fully synced).

Also, what happened to your other account?

Not Stupid!  The answer is yes, I was refreshing about every 2 minutes while synced with bitmonerod.  From right when the coins where sent until right now some of the coins in wallet 1 are still locked from this tx, and in wallet 2 there is nothing.  No coins have been received.  BTW, I have sent between these two wallets multiple time, even recently, with no issues.  I am positive the address was correct.

Any ideas?!  I'm kind freaking out...


Cheers!

Actually not sure what happened then. I hope someone else can chime in and provide you with an answer. Perhaps try what saddambitcoin suggested?

EDIT: You can check the blockheight on https://moneroblocks.eu

also, type bc_height in simplewallet and see what the current height is. it sounds like your wallet is stuck somehow.

the current block height is 882798.

EDIT: Do you have the viewkey of your receiving wallet/address and the transaction hash? In that case you can use this particular website to check if your receiving wallet/address actually received the coins.

who is a miner with more than 10khs?

network hashrate is over 10mhs, so we should sure find some people..

how much do you guys estimate comes from botnets? it has to be somewhere between 70-90% if you ask me.


I'm currently bringing 11-14 kh/s to the table. Trying to ramp that up soon though.

Any monero devs like to comment on this article?  Come on, show us how this is totally wrong.  Make sure to use facts.  Uhh ohh....

What NSA created Cryptonote for:

"...me and a few of my fellow researchers looked at ..."

They did not look at a 5th-grade English grammar text.

That's right, you can safely delete blockchain.bin.

As for the size of the LMDB database, some things are stored more than once, for speed, but some stuff is also wasted, so there is some scope to shrink it a bit. There's other stuff that needs changing in there, so I'm not saying it'll be smaller when all is said and done, but... maybe Smiley

The database also uses sparse files. Here, for instance, the logical size of data.mdb is 14 GB, but the actual data is 8 GB. There are "holes" in the file (0 filled preallocated data) that some filesystems use for other stuff, but some don't. I'm not sure whether Windows' filesystem does things cleverly or dumbly there.



Compressing the .bitmonero directory on Ubuntu GNU/Linux with 7z produces a compressed size of 4.5 GB. The uncompressed size is 14.1 GB. The Windows file system is likely applying some compression on the fly to get the file size down from 14 GB to 8 GB. I am using bitmonero v0.8.8.7-9292c1e.

The Windows one is 10 GB rather than 8, but I think the allocation might happen at a different rate between the two, accounting for 14 GB vs 10.
