You can buy XMR with USD here -> https://www.altquick.co/buy-2.php?coin=XMR

(thanks to othe for finding it)

I think that this should go into https://getmonero.org/getting-started/merchants

All of the merchants are organised alphabetically. If there are any merchants that no longer provide Monero services, or a merchant that wishes to be added, please open an issue on this website's Github repository to alert us.

How is the LMDB testing gong?

I am confused - I thought that the blockchain db upgrade has been release a few months ago?

Released to github master (staging and testing) and many people are using it. Not "released" in terms of a tagged release with a number and pre-built binaries.

Also for those struggling to build/run the DB on Windows, a small linux virtual machine is one option (virtualbox is free). The memory requirements are extremely low, you could maybe get away with 256 MB RAM using text console linux, certainly 512 MB.

I am using it already since a few weeks - this is why I was confused by the above statement. Wink

can you use the wallet and mine without any problems?

Maybe I'm just noticing now but I see mymonero shows your XMR with 12 digits (piconero), Monero is more divisible than Bitcoin by default aside from not having the block limit problem. Monero fundamentals are really ripe for worldwide adoption.

Yes, XMR is divisible up to 12 digits. Though it can't be really advertised as a significant advantage, changing the Bitcoin code to do the same is only a matter of updating the implementation and is unlikely to be controversial if there is ever a need for it.

true, although i like 12 better than 8. Reason: 8 isn't devisable by 3, 12 is:
BTC: 100 million satoshis
XMR: 1 trillion piconeroj (or biljoen (dutch) /biljonen(german) )

currency markets have a market cap of multiple trillions, meaning we would likely never need to adjust this.

How moronic! Updated my BTC client and it never deleted the old one, so I accidentally used the old shortcut that never got replaced and fragged the entire blockchain. Downloading 4 years now. You would think after all these years on a "mature platform" they could get it right, and people bitch about XMR wallet.

Report back how long it took to sync those 4 years.

its crazy fast. I did a fresh bitcoin install and it was perhaps a day, maybe less.

We have created a short time lapse video with a physical Monero:

35 silver Moneroj are in stock at this moment:

https://cryptonic.net/product/order/4/

Is this just a commemorative silver coin or is there a Monero wallet embedded in the coin somehow?

I was wondering that myself, and I found this on https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10720416

Cryptonic physical MONEROJ come unfunded. Each coin has 2 unique base58 IDs engraved to its edge. In the future that should allow to bind the coin directly to Monero wallets. https://forum.getmonero.org/4/academic-and-technical/221/creating-a-standard-for-physical-coins

Yes. Thanks. We are looking forward when this will be possible.

For now you can just bind a coin to any Monero wallet of your choice at our site.
There is no real practical utility in that until the Monero View Key functionality will be available for us. After that you will be able to see the balance of the linked wallet the same way as you can already do with a Bitcoin wallet. Our coins can be linked to Monero and Bitcoin wallets simultaneously. If it's blockchain.info wallet (we use its API) you can also spend from the coin directly at cryptonic.net.

You can compile it yourself via github, but there is no official tagged release yet (see my previous post).

I am running out of RAM, so an official LMDB launch would be great Grin

I agree. In the mean time maybe you could try to compile the DB version from Github, I havent done it myself but many have and I imagine the instructions for doing so are out there.

I guess we can blame Windows, I'm running the new db on what feels like forever on Linux.

Have you fully tested it? Like, can you make transactions and mine and all that?

I dont mine with bitmonerod, maybe when smart mining is live.

Try it out just to test it. I found that the current master will work fine until you start mining. Sometimes when I load simplewallet things get crazy too. If it happens to you, then we know that the bug pops up other places. If not, then in some environments its fine.

after compiling it, yes

I made a video series on using virtual box, though I need to make new ones. And you can modify the memory settings after you compile.
