See reply on Support thread

I've followed all the instructions and this is what I'm getting.  Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?  Running Linux Mint 17.2, a fresh install.  I followed all the commands to install all the packages previously.

I've read otherwise.

GingerAle super dev powers activate!

and also, fluffypony can probably give a better response... but he won't wake up for another many hours.

Keep in mind I'm not a dev. I'm just a dude that follows the project and makes podcasts and is really enthusiastic.


ooh, thats in a missive somewhere....
https://getmonero.org/2015/03/02/monero-missive-for-the-week-of-2015-03-02.html
if I understand correctly (but im no dev), RPC is designed for remote things... hence, the name of it (remote procedure call perhaps?), whereas zeroMQ is better for stuff within the same box... because monero architecture is different than bitcoin (wallet and daemon are separate), it makes sense to have the code optimized to talk within the same box.


Blood, sweat and tears. Personal investments of the core team (because they're crazy). And donations. And crowdfunding.

Core team. No idea about the particulars on the process. A new missive kinda discusses this, if I ever get around to editing it instead of playing with my mining hardware.


This would be done with a hardfork, and this is also detailed in a missive coming up if we ever get around to publishing them.
How to pick a new algorithm? Unknown. I think a self adapting 10 year algorithm would be cool, but I have no idea how to create that. I tend to believe that the current core team would implement a different POW due to the commitment to decentralization, but core teams can change. The coin lives on.


Yes. Soon (tm). Sooner can be sooner if you donate to development or can development. This is open source. It doesn't happen unless we make it happen. And hodling != investing. Unless, of course, you know, you're going to buy ALL the monero. But don't do that. Because then you'll control too many outputs.

A few short questions about the project:

1) Looking at the design and development goals for monero at https://getmonero.org/design-goals/, what is the rationale for using zeroMQ for RPC ?

2) How is ongoing development financed ?

3) What processes are used to define the design goals and prioritize them ?

4) Should a need arise to change the POW algo because, for example, someone introduces a CryptoNight FPGA or ASIC device, what process would the monero community and/or the development team use to pick a new algorithm and schedule its introduction ?

5) Are there estimated dates for the completion of these goals ?

Just search for "privacy" on Google news and one gets a flood of articles on the subject of how Windows 10 does the above and much more.

Thanks for the response. My thinking in foiling a key logger was to write this to generate re-usable passwords... https://github.com/Lf3999f3jfa00/zHASH ... if you don't have time to take a look i appreciate the advice you provivided already. If you happen to take a look I would be very appreciateive to know what your opinion was concerning how effective it is. Long story short I guess its time to start booting to linux.

UPDATE!

This was a SCAM attempt, first identified by dreamspark:

Be careful everyone! @crpytsy is trying to impersonate @cryptsy and scam 1BTC for an exchange listing by private message
https://twitter.com/BBRcurrency/status/628684966067482624

Please help report the fake @crpytsy twitter

importing the blockchain went wrong:
starting bitmonerod from there dosn't seem to sync as it keeps stuck on block 202621...
i resign to do a full sync during the night, let see if it completes...

lol craptsy how low can you go..
how long did they need to implement it? what do you think how long they will need to fix a bug ?
cheap, cheaper, cryptsy.

the same thing will happen like with nxt. withdrawls freezed for months
people like this should never run an exchange.

Soon(TM)

I agree but I think the 1 BTC was only meant for BBR and I would be suprised if they ask us for 1 BTC as well. You never know with Cryptsy though.

Not really. Many btc was donated to Cryptsy for XMR and they did nothing. Fuck Cryptsy. Frankly, I don't even wish to see XMR on their exchange.

Interesting:

thank you, somehow i thought master's blockchain_export would only work with lmdb...
the export went fine and took just 15 minutes and the import is running at a rate of 1k blocks every 40 seconds... 7,5 hours to go if everything goes smooth...

you could also try the export / import approach, as opposed to running the converter. Dunno if it would get around the DB_error, but its another approach.

Yes. The issue, for example, is that a keylogger on the compromised Windows host would have access to the keyboard and consequently to what is typed into the GNU/Linux guest. So one needs to be running GNU/Linux directly on the hardware.

I have no clue how to fix this (note that I am not really tech savy so I leave this question open to more people with more knowledge regarding this subject), however some people reported syncing from scratch times of approximately 3 hours. So if you have a decent PC, why not give it a go?

hi all!
i wanted to give master branch a try to see if i can finally keep monero wallet running on my linux box without getting out of ram...
i ran blockchain_converter on my blockchain and even on the blockchain from op, but it dies in very same way:
any workaround apart of syncing from scratch?
thank you.
