I was able to sync bytecoin full client with less than 4G of ram, but could not with the monero full client. Is the dev team still active ? How come this has not ported to monero ?

Use the current test version from github. Memory needed is <100M


With the binary from getmonero site, the process was killed shortly as I have 4G with no swap.

I compiled from the master branch, it's now syncing fine.  "top" reports around 1.6G mem usage  not 100M. Or you meant after it's synced only 100m is needed?

yeah, once its in maintenance mode it'll use lower memory. Basically, LMDB uses memory dynamically... if you only had 2 gigs ram, it would use less during sync. If you had 16 gigs ram, it would use more.

Could you perhaps acknowledge and discuss the rationale behind asking 600 xmr for it?

Apart from the actual work done, it's marketing development, and tbh I look at bitcoinwisdom and see an american market, a chinese market, a european market, a canadian market, and a russian market. I don't see a SAR market, or any other market that would benefit.

I'm not saying this service is not worth the amount you asked, nor am I trying to offend, but will there be value added here in paying that amount for this? Are you aware of legitimate arabic discussion boards or markets that would benefit from the translation?

Just as a reminder, I've placed an offer to do Arabic translation a while back.
https://forum.getmonero.org/7/open-tasks/339/task-arabic-translations
And I can assure you that the services I'm offering are as good as you will get in this area.

I'm having difficulty in getting Monero set up on Mint. I'm new to Linux, so this may well be something trivial (I'm hoping it is actually!).

When I enter make I end up with the error:

Compiling the CXX compiler identification source file "CMakeCXXCompilerId.cpp" failed.
Compiler: CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER-NOTFOUND
Build flags:
Id flags:

The output was:
No such file or directory


I have already been through this guide:
http://www.wikihow.com/Manually-Build-and-Install-GNU-Compiler-Collection-on-Linux-Mint
But instead of mpfr-3.1.2 and gcc-4.8.1 I substituted mpfr-3.1.3 and gcc-4.8.5.
That all went well, but I get the error above.

If I enter "dpkg --list | grep compiler" it appears I do have C and C++ compilers:

ii  g++                                                         4:4.8.2-1ubuntu6                                    amd64        GNU C++ compiler
ii  g++-4.8                                                     4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04                                amd64        GNU C++ compiler
ii  gcc                                                         4:4.8.2-1ubuntu6                                    amd64        GNU C compiler
ii  gcc-4.8                                                     4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04                                amd64        GNU C compiler


Any help would be appreciated.

Dunno if mint has package manager etc, but this works with current head:

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

Code:
git clone https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero.git

Code:
cd bitmonero
make

as provided by arux and documented on our forum:
https://forum.getmonero.org/5/support/142/useful-links-including-blockchain-downloads

as indicated, make and gcc are different, which is why it threw you the error.

good luck!!

Would the onero community be interested in a book on its first year history similar to this book:

http://goo.gl/2DblJ5

Hehe, the last year there has been enough drama to start a series already. Let alone the technicals.

What is the offer here? I guess you could pitch it as an idea and make a proposal on the forum at getmonero.org. Lots of succesful crowdfundings have taken place there the last weeks.

Hello,

Trying to understand more about the monero source code...
How many hashes does it take to make 1 monero and what determines the hash rate in monero source code?

Thanks in advance for your comments.

The difficulty is determined by next_difficulty located here in the source code: https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/blob/master/src/cryptonote_core/difficulty.cpp

The units of difficulty are hashes, which means at a difficulty of 600 million, you would need to search 600 million hashes on average to solve a block. (This is different from Bitcoin.) Each block has a variable reward but currently it is about 9.25 XMR, so 600 million hashes gets you about 9.25 XMR, or roughly 65 million hashes per XMR.

The actual network hash rate is unmeasurable but it can be approximated by taking the current difficulty and dividing by the target, with is 60 seconds. So at 600 million difficulty the total hash rate of the network would be about 10 million.

For reference GPUs generally hash at about 200-600 hash/sec and CPUs are about 50-60 hash/core/sec given sufficient cache.

I was able to sync bytecoin full client with less than 4G of ram, but could not with the monero full client. Is the dev team still active ? How come this has not ported to monero ?

Just out curiosity how much ram did Bytecoin need and on what OS?

Edit: I found the answer Bytecoin takes 1.5- 2.0 GB of ram https://bytecointalk.org/showthread.php?tid=86

I completely forgot to respond to that clown, thanks for reminding me.

romerun, the answer to "how come this has not ported to Monero" is simple: it's a rubbish non-solution typical of the half-baked efforts we've come to expect from Bytecoin over the past year. Compare the ~2gb of RAM Bytecoin requires with my post from January already:

Using LMDB we go from this:



to this:



That's testnet and mainnet on OS X (hence the dual processes in the second screenshot). Even with very heavy artificial activity I haven't seen my mainnet process go beyond ~80mb.

As the person who spent quite some time on doing the Italian and German seed lists following the developer's instructions I certainly hope that is not true. The instructions stated that only the first 4 letters have to be unique (unlike the English seed list, where the first 3 letters are unique).

The actual prefix length is per language, so you're free to have 4 letter prefix if you mark the list as such.

any (technical) comments on Bytecoin 1.0.6 ?

btw i see a huge pump is going on over there Grin good luck lol

Yeah, I just came here with popcorn for the inevitable sock puppet revival.

They're too busy participating in the alt discussion forum pro- and anti-Monero thread spamming, along with the dashtards and the regular copycat retards.


Besides that, does the Monero dev team have any perspective on this newfangled "aggregate multi-address" feature that they've implemented, as far as whether it might be useful in Monero?

https://bytecoin.org/blog/aggregate-multi-addresses-ecommerce-enhancing-privacy/

I think smooth already answered this on the previous page:

any (technical) comments on Bytecoin 1.0.6 ?

The new addressing scheme is interesting. Calling it "new cryptography" is a bit of hype, as it falls out pretty obviously from the original white paper.

It has advantages and disadvantages, and whether it is a clear improvement over payment IDs to be adopted in all use cases is unclear (they are claiming that payment IDs will be deprecated but I'm not sure that is a good idea), but certainly a legitimate development to define and implement it as they have done.

The rest of it -- things like supporting high transaction rates when there is effectively zero actual usage of BCN and very little usage of any cryptocurrency right now -- is pure hype for pumping purposes.

i dont know who made it, but i guess the wordlists for other languages need to be created from scratch and have to pass the same check as the english one.
the first 3 letters of every word have to be unique.

please correct if i'm  wrong.

You are correct.


As the person who spent quite some time on doing the Italian and German seed lists following the developer's instructions I certainly hope that is not true. The instructions stated that only the first 4 letters have to be unique (unlike the English seed list, where the first 3 letters are unique).

Both Italian and German lists have been created from scratch and are not a mere translation from the English list.

Edit: I see the lists are now included so I guess they're ok. Phew!
