Quite funny, i noticed that i am a Senior Member by now and secondly i just found out that i am the only full node in my country Shocked

Both findings make me kind of proud yeeeaaahhhhh Grin

reminded by that graph that there's no presence in south america.

Well that's kind of sad if you take in consideration the naming of MONERO. Maybe we should host a VPS there....

From the "FreeBazaar - OpenBazaar with Monero" thread.

So with the alledged OpenBazaar release coming up, it would be a good time to provide us with your curren thought regarding the project. If you are not going forward with it, I suggest you just donate the remaining funds to the dev fund or ask your donators what they would want you to do with it.

Yes, they will be ready soon, and during current work OB-devs changed a lot. What breaks my code permanently.
Therefore I'll release a new fork with actually synchronized status in some days after official release.

DEVS: I made a User Guide (html and images) modeled from the source code of a getmonero.org page. To whom should I send the tar.gz? All I have is Ubuntu so it's just for Linux. Hopefully some Windows and OSX folks will jump in for those OSs. You can PM me with the info or reply here.

Nice! So I've asked my friend at work who is majoring in computer science to help me out with setting up Linux and how to use it, since I just seem to be too computer illiterate to set it up on my own. But once I do figure it out, I think it would help everyone out that's like me to write a guide on how to set up Linux and what it can be applied to for xmr purposes. So like a benefits vs. cons kinda thing, while also making it written by a "newb" for a "newb. I think I'll write it all up on google docs and then when finished, anyone can come in to write in pieces where there might be parts I might be missing out on.

What you guys think?

Sounds great! Here is some starting material for your guides

You get to choose the installation size for ubuntu and he recommends 15GB. Will this be large enough for the Monero blockchain as well as other blockchains you may have stored as well? Can you change the size of the installation later?

Hello! Please tell me, bitmonerod daemon server http://node.moneroclub.com:8880 working? Want sync with him...

There are 3 nodes hosted on bitnodes.net. Their ip addresses are:

https://bitnodes.net/status/

104.255.33.226
194.135.90.69
23.227.190.223

the first one has a red X to it. I would assume that means its down, but I have no idea why.

to connect, load simplewallet wallet with --daemon-host IP_ADDRESS , like

Code:

./simplewallet --daemon-host 194.135.90.69

but remember, trusting someone elses daemon for your money is like trusting a cheetah with your souffle.

Another update:

What's gone in since then ?

- new --trusted-daemon flag to disable by default commands which may leak information to the daemon (rescan_spent, start_mining)
- default simplewallet mixin is now 4 (from 3)
- from hard fork 2, the block reward will be quantized, and all amounts will be decomposed (ie, no more dust)
- fix for print_block, and the block/tx RPC now return a JSON representation of the tx/block
- new check_tx_key which allows a third party to double check an address did receive some monero, when given the tx key
- plus misc smaller things, like a sanity check for a uminiupnpc buffer overflow, and a fix for invalid keys when storing hard fork data in a Berkeley DB database.

awesome! send to anyone! put it up on something like mega or a dropbox link, or submit it as a commit to the getmonero website via github.

Here's the Mega link:

No idea what you guys are talking about, but love the idea of trading my metal detector in for a truffle pig or two.

I'm going to name them Cloud and Rainbow! Cheesy

Just copy the keys files to the folder where your simplewallet.exe is located. You can also copy your bin files so that you don't have to refresh the wallet from scratch (I think they're compatible).

Basically the [walletname].keys file has your encrypted spend+view keys pair.
The [walletname] file stores the info about the incoming/outgoing transacions.

I don't know if you meant to do this for 0.8.8.6 or the beta. Since I had the beta running and it would take a while to get 0.8.8.6 running I copied and pasted my .keys file into the folder of simplewallet of the 0.9 beta and it still didn't recognize it as an existing wallet when I started simplewallet. I'll have time tonight to do it for 0.8.8.6 if that's what you meant.

@Nik4692, It was seemingly straightforward so I have no idea what I could have done wrong Tongue

Best practice: Keep two versions afloat, oldish and newer.

Baseline principle "new Version, new wallet" and once it works transferring all funds from old installation into new installation, archiving the old one on DVD. Well, the blockchain data. I tend to store wallets 2x on CDR, since them are the best to burrow somewhere in the countryside.

Why don't you just use your mnemonic seed to recreate your account with the new binaries? (ver. 0.9)
https://github.com/monero-project/monero-site/blob/master/knowledge-base/user-guides/Restoring%20your%20Monero%20Account.md

Thanks to all that helped. My wallet is refreshing after restoring from seed. Thanks luigi1111 for instructions on the command prompt. I remember having an issue restoring from seed once when trying to use the command prompt I got after just clicking on simplewallet. I then restored with the keys file which was very simple.

After restoring this empty wallet I will start on a wallet that actually has Moneroj.

Thanks again.

*= albert
what i am typing into simplewallet= albert
as I've always done

How do I run simplewallet from command prompt as you desribed? When I open it up the command prompt reads.......
C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\BetaMonero>
How do I run it from here?

As far as where are my keys file now, I tried dragging them to the simplewallet application folder directly which did nothing that I can tell. I dragged it into the BetaMonero folder and there it is. Actually when I dragged the keys file what ends up in BetaMonero is the keys folder which when opened up contains the keys file. That is not how it was originally, it was just the keys file itself.

Thanks everyone for trying to help helping The Drooling Masses©

OK. This is going to need some faster interaction. Try #monero in irc, you'll have plenty of help there.

Updated paper on Ring Confidential Transactions (CT) for Monero -> https://github.com/ShenNoether/MiniNero/raw/master/RingCT0.3.pdf

Quote from: ShenNoether

Here is the version I was originally waiting to post with tag linkability sketched out reasonably completely.

ELI5: Next to hidden origins and destinations that are inherent to the Monero protocol, this will also hide amounts, while viewkeys will still work, and of course it will still be auditable. (credits ShenNoether)

"Amount key" LOL

Amazing work! Cool
