Topic: [XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency - page 820. (Read 4671660 times)

Not sure if this is the right place to report this, but have compiled the new version of bitmonerod on a mac and converted the blockchain using blockchain_converter.

The problem is I have to run bitmonerod twice (exiting the first run with ^C ^C) in order for it to work. The first run after opening a new Terminal window always hangs, displaying two libunbound error messages during startup: http://pastebin.com/WPQqaRG6.

Oddly, the second run sometimes has one libunbound error message and sometimes none, but it works (as long as there are not two).

And then a hundred "monero" is a "bitMonero" ... oh wait.

re: IP address, pretty sure thats your internal IP address, being assigned by your router. If you've got a straight feed to the interwebs, then its probably not useful. I have no idea why those instructions are there, but the useful case I've found for them is if you have a motherboard with two ethernet ports, you can channel your daemon through one of these ports and channel your other stuff (for instance SSH) through the other. No idea if that actually enhances performance in any way, but thats what I imagine its for.

but again, that does seem like an edge case. And I'm no network wizard.

It is still relevant - 1.54 chokes, and we're already well past that in terms of Boost versions, so no need to touch 1.54

I'm fairly certain the bug was with 1.54, which happened to be the one in the standard Ubuntu 14.04 repository.

Ok, I did a bit of searching: from the first page of this thread, we find: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.6382457 which links here: http://goo.gl/RrCFmA

This was quite some time ago, so I don't know if it's still relevant.

welcome! glad to have you here.
post your address, i send you some. you can just send them back to the adress they came from if you dont want to keep them

if i manage to run it you sure do too!

Thanks. So onward to next potential problem:

sudo apt-get install git gcc-4.9 cmake libunbound2 libevent-2.0-5 libgtest-dev libboost1.55-all-dev libevent-dev

Why boost 1.55 ?

(I am on Ubuntu 14.04 with libboost-all-dev (notice lack of insistence on a particular version) installed.)

I vaguely recall something I was thinking of trying wanted that version, not sure if it was Monero or some other thing. But normally this version of Ubuntu, and all the coins I have built so far (and I have built lots of them) are still back on an earlier version of boost, maybe 1.54 or somesuch.

Whatever it was that I previously ran into that wanted 1.55 I did not bother with, I think maybe I also ran into some warning somewhere not to.

What happens to all my normal builds if I install this new boost? Will they get compiled against it and maybe break?

Its possible one of them even specifically warned me not to go to 1.55, I can't recall quite what it was that led to me not bothering with whatever it was I saw before that was wanting to use boost 1.55.

I can't even recall if there was supposed to be a bug in 1.54 that necessitated using 1.55, or a bug in 1.55 that necessitated not moving forward to that version yet, or both.

Though everythign so far seems to be working normally while I have NOT gone ahead to this newfangled 1.55 thing...

It's in antast's blog under "Set up supervisor to make bitmonerod start during system boot" -> https://antanst.com/blog/2015/05/22/how-to-set-up-a-monero-node-in-ubuntu-14.04/


But as you can see the blog is from may, so it's a bit outdated I think.

@MarkM, perhaps try the more simplified instructions GingerAle posted? https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.12033096

I've never heart of this before either.

@markm You do not need to specify your own IP address. I have no idea why those instructions are telling you do to that.

I came across https://antanst.com/blog/2015/05/22/how-to-set-up-a-monero-node-in-ubuntu-14.04/ and noticed it wants me to tell it my IP address, it looks like maybe that could be because it has I2P included in it and I2P needs it?

But back before I started using no-ip.org for dynamic DNS I used to run I2P precisely because it did NOT need to know my IP address, it gave me a way of reaching my machine without it or me having to know its IP address as long as I could use I2P to reach out to it.

So what is the deal with Monero needing a hard-coded IP address in its invocation?

Does this mean only people with static IP can run it?

I really prefer to run things that involve private keys at home, not out on the net on some third party hardware that happens to have a static IP address...

Days ago I figured I should set up a Monero node to check it out, but this has been a stumbling block as I want to run it at home not on someone else's machine in a datacentre.

Quite relevant, so worth a crosspost:

Some additional info here -> https://forum.getmonero.org/1/news-announcements-and-editorials/196/editorial-submultiples-of-monero

@drawingthesun: Also, Jesse Powell (CEO Kraken) seems to be very fond of Ethereum -> https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/3g4bzf/kraken_started_trading_already/ctuqytt

Eth is gonna dump so badly once this little bit fo hypes over and all the coins start moving around. Can't wait to short it.

Kinda of like how being able to short XMR on the back of the mintpal pump would have been heavenly.

 
 
It's too simple.  Let's fuck that up a bit. 
 
How about we call the smallest unit a "ro". 
 
Then 1,000,000 "ro" is a "nero". 
 
Then 1,000,000 "nero" is a "monero". 
 
That way we can break things down into millionths at least.

its.... perfect!


Is there an actual market for computacional contracts? Before Monero I was only on Bitcoin because it could work as that as well, I have no problems with a multi-crypto world, I just like Monero key features and simplicity better and how it accomplishes the electronic cash role beautifully like nothing before, even the name is perfect. I'll not be owning Ethereum btw, even knowing the hype could create a bubble... no thanks.

 
 
There is an outside chance we may not be an "alt" coin at all. 
 
Bitcoin will do well at #2 marketcap of 6 trillion USD equivalent.   

Other than bit coin I'd say monero will be crowned as the best alt soon.   I have been quietly hoarding and mining for a while now.

It is a clone of Ripple that, as far as I can tell, only exists because the inventor of Ripple didn't get along with the management, so he went off and did another one.

My vote is that its more of a technical hurdle to implement cryptonote / Monero. I'm assuming Ethereum is bitcoin-based.  I remember reading something about it somewhere, and it sounded like scope bloat / creep to me. But who knows. In 10 years someone could find this post and go "wow that idiot had no imagination"


Ripple - not a currency. Some centralized payment network.

Litecoin - secondary cryptocurrency market to bitcoin. I see the value in a faster secondary market. 2 blockchains better than one. Redundancy. Different POW, different distribution, etc.

Banxshares - i have no idea what this is.

Stellar - i can't figure out what this is.

bytecoin - scam.


Well, when you own the main website that people refer to for a particular coin's worth (coinmarketcap), then its pretty easy to keep your coin in the lime lite.

 
  
smoothcoin?  Forget Monero!  I'll take 5 for $15!  The marketcap just tripled!  $3 billion and about to overtake bitcoin itself!
