Some question for the devs: What hash functions does Monero use for computing tx ids and key images?

The txids use keccak. The key images computed by hashing the tx public key using keccak to get a curve point^*, then multiplying by the private key.

^* Using some crypto that is beyond my comprehension. See ge_fromfe_frombytes_vartime in crypto-ops.c

@GingerAle

After downloading it I extracted it to a new folder. After trying to sync and then closing the 0.9 daemon, the new folder disappeared and a lmdb folder appeared in my bitmonero folder.

bummer. for the record, the link in my sig is not *my* win64 beta binaries, they were the ones released for testing.
when you say "stuck".. what happened? Did you try restarting it? sorry for the OT.

Moved from spec thread..........

Again I decided to download the entire BC instead of trying to figure out the converter and it was zipping along and the a mere 270 blocks from the end it kept repeatedly saying it was 270 blocks behind. Again I was not at my comp for a while and I estimate that was going on for ~1 hr. When I typed exit it said a stop signal was sent and I'm unsure if anything else was noted on the daemon. after 20 min I just Xed it. I did not try restarting because the official 0.9 will be released not soon but imminently Grin

I think that it will resume from where it was stuck once you start it again. You see, since it is using the database the info is saved to disk as it is being downloaded. So even the dreaded "Saving blockchain to disk" is gone in this version...

This is what I got.......2015-Oct-03 07:57:54.896332 [node] Stop signal sent
2015-Oct-03 08:06:50.960716 Got control signal 2. Exiting without saving...

I had set up the Beta in a new folder and I just checked now and that folder is gone.

In my bitmonero folder the first thing listed is lmdb and the info above is from the text document in bitmonero.

In my bitmonero folder is monero.win.x64.latest which is 0.8.8.4 which has it's own text document. My wallets etc are there.

The only thing I see from 0.9 is the lmdb folder and I see no way of starting 0.9

I will now go back to patiently waiting for the official 0.9

I don't understand. The link in my signature is a zip file. Unzip the file into a new folder... on your desktop, anywhere. Then doubleclick on the new bitmonerod.exe

Does anyone know a site that features more advanced charts for Monero?

It's easy enough to find block explorers and exchanges with the set of charts generally available for all currencies (hashrate and exchange rate etc)

What I am looking for is for example # of transactions per block, avg fee per tx/block, avg size per tx, etc

Has anyone thought more about this recently? With CryptoNote coins so focused on privacy and security it could be a nice addition

New funding required thread popped up! Funding required for an open source AMD miner (done by Wolf0) -> https://forum.getmonero.org/8/funding-required/2400/open-source-amd-miner-by-wolf0?sort=date_desc

Nice idea. New projects continuing to get funded very quickly!

Just curious, I was reading in the IRC channel that someone by the name of "Wolf'" is planning on making an AMD miner... If this were to happen and I had a pretty old Window XP with an AMD Athlon in it, would it be worth trying to mine off of that? Or should I just stick with trying to get the node working on there? Oh btw I'm still trying to figure out how to run the node and am having no luck... So if someone could point me to a very newbie friendly step by step on how to do that I would be greatful.. Thanks.

Edit: the windows XP is from 2005 I think

Here is a guide about running a full node -> http://blog.carl.pro/2015/09/monero-how-to-setup-a-full-node/. If you are on windows you could use the 0.9 beta binaries instead of 0.8.8.6 -> https://downloads.getmonero.org/monero.win.x64.v0-9-beta.zip

EDIT: Another guide here -> https://getmonero.org/getting-started/running

Edit: the windows XP is from 2005 I think

What he is making is a GPU miner. If you have an AMD GPU then you could potentially use it. Athlon is a CPU not a GPU. You could potentially CPU mine but your own Athlon probably does not have AES-NI instructions and will therefore be inefficient.

Oh ok, sorry.. Im still very new to all this technical stuff. Looking forward to it being released though so I can possibly try it out, that is, if I can figure out how too lol.

@GingerAle, I just noticed the "Improved NVIDIA mining software" funding is now complete.

https://forum.getmonero.org/8/funding-required/2355/improved-nvidia-mining-software

Nice, the more hashpower securing/decentalizing the network and adding entropy to the blockchain, the more valuable the coins become.

In time, our market cap will respond accordingly. Cool
