Hi, guys, need a little help here...or even big one for that matter.
On early march I sent some xmr from Polo to mymonero wallet. I did it before with great success. I was probably among the first to use it since I'm not familiar with command line etc.
Today I loged in to my account, I paid 10xmr for blockchain to sync and it seems it is updated. However, two trx from early march are missing.
I checked again at Polo and it seems I sent xmr to a different address as I usually did. How that happend? No idea, but the address was correct since the tx went throuhg. I only have one address at Mymonero.

I would like to skip the part how I feel right now and what you think of me...so the question is: is there a way to.....do anything at all? Did anyone got any xmr into his wallet and have no idea where did it came from?

I can provide all the details but the way I see it this aint gonna end pretty for me Sad

Your original MyMonero wallet from March - was it created by MyMonero? If so, then you should not have had to pay 10 XMR fee. It sounds like you are loading a simplewallet generated seed because that is what the 10 xmr import fee is for.

Is it possible you have written another wallet seed somewhere?

Please visit http://commons.xmr.biz/ and provide some feedback, so I know what is requested and how to improve.

I updated a bit since the first announcement. New: Audio & Podcast section, new presentation section and a working video section.

Please, please contribute content, so the page can provide benefits to the community. By really providing a media file archive, that makes all project-related media content freely & easily available for everybody to download or view. And being a common repository for the whole community, esp. people building Monero websites and services.

Links are ok, just point me to quality Monero content, so I can make it avaible, findable & usable to everyone. And the community and project can later benefit from having an common repository.

You can contribute or provide links in any way you like. (PM, IRC, GitHub & EMail) Every contribution is appreciated. GitHub repo is at https://github.com/xmr23/commons.xmr.biz

Now and in future, if you see good Monero content online and you think others in the community, can learn, benefit or just be interested in. Please make sure it gets added to http://commons.xmr.biz/, so it can later help Monero community members.

Great initiative!

Looks like the limit is 50 MB.

Because: http://commons.xmr.biz/Audio/Podcasts/Listen_to_Bitcoin_Podcast-Ep202-With-Coredev-fluffypony.mp3 is 45 MB
and http://commons.xmr.biz/Videos/David_Latapie_@_FinTech_Open_Mic_Night_19th_March_2015_Paris.mp4 is 46 MB.

You are suggesting an upload formular? Or did I misunderstood you?

Thinking about it, its propably a good idea. I will add one. With more adoption not all users will have GitHub accounts & expierence. (Like today.)
Thank you.

Not sure whether you're already utilizing it, but GitHub LFS could be great in this case!

Apparently the new smear campaign drk troll is running is that a private ledger has no value because it can't be audited. I explained (linked) the viewkey, but he insists that it still can't be audited and get this response (accounting yuck):

Every transaction involves two keys: a public spend key, and a public view key. The destination for an output in a transaction is actually a one-time public key computed from these two keys. The formula used for calculating this is: P = H_s(rA)G + B (where H_s is a hash function, r is a random, G is a basepoint, A is the public view key, B is the public spend key).

When scanning incoming transactions every transaction is scanned to see if is for "you". To do this, your wallet computes P' = H_s(aR)G + B (following the same definitions as before, except that a is your private view key, and R = rG, which is packed elsewhere into the transaction). Notice that this only requires your private view key and your public spend key, and this check is immutable and cannot be faked. You cannot receive transactions and identify them without the corresponding private view key.

In order to spend the funds you have to compute a one-time private spend key for that output using H_s(aR) + b (where b is your private spend key), so it's impossible to spend the funds without it. Literally that's all the cryptography you need to understand, but I guess when your aim is to deflect attention from an instamined scam it helps to call it a "mountain of cryptography".

From this we can also determine that it is possible to enumerate all the view keys, but as the key space is 2²⁵⁶ it's not possible unless you have more processing power than all the energy in the universe, and more time than the universe has existed.

The upshot of this is that an auditor only needs your private view key to identify all of your transactions. On the other hand, with Bitcoin and its clones you would typically need to sign every address you own (or for something like Electrum you'd be able to provide your master public key). In some ways the private view key is like the Electrum master public key, in that with both you can view every transaction for that account, and there's no way to fake that data. As with any audit, though, you could always have a second wallet for your secret transactions, but typically auditors would uncover that through other mechanisms.

The claim that the auditor has to "see the balances in the sending addresses" is ludicrous - if I, as a company, receive a payment from Microsoft Inc. do my auditors go and ask Microsoft for their bank balance?

Beautiful.

No. It doesn't mean that because an auditor wants to verify the origin of the funds and therefore has to see the balances in the sending addresses as well.

Ever heard of "double entry bookkeeping" ? That alludes to the fact that there are two or more balances involved in a transaction, not one.

A great tribute to bitcoin's success as 'money' is the fact that their is public consensus that all the recent bitcoin "heists" of late (Bitstamp, etc) were in fact thefts and not somebody 'fooling the system'. That consensus is only achaived by virtue of the public blockchain and the fact that EVERY SINGLE ADDRESS is auditable. Not public by choice but public by force.

That is the very same consensus that gives the balance in an address its value - and thereby turns it into money.

Privacy is supported by the private blockchain. The phrase "public-private key encryption" alludes to the fact that one key is supposed to be public and the other private. In cryptocurrency therefore, we maximise the anonymity of the private key by maximising the fungibility of the public addresses - not my making them invisible but my making them more fungible, a very different thing.

You can't go burying the public blockchain in a mountain of cryptography.

What you've got is an encrypted bookkeeping system for banks. Go the Ripple route and try selling it to them Wink

The only info on the viewkey I can find is on the MEW site--is there more info available yet? Or did I miss something on the main site? A good ELI2.5 would be good to counter attack xdrkdashians.

I'd really like to have just a detailed link that I can attach; Toknormal's (and some of his colleagues) tactic is to start a blitz of criticism (some ridiculously inane) to exhaust their opponent--too many moving targets at once. I've learned to just restate their argument using humor and pointing to obvious fallacies without engaging any specific scenario (I don't ever indulge their hypotheticals; it gets real ridiculous real fast), but try limit them to their most inane assertion (there are many) and let people judge for themselves how ridiculous they sound. And if they cry about a point (instamine) I keep hitting it the way a general or a boxer hits on an opponent's weakness until the opponent quits or is defeated.

"Address already in use" - I can't tell if those are multiple consecutive starts, but it looks like it's already bound to the address. You need to make sure it's not already running before you start, or something weird is going on:)

Strange, yet attractive.

Happy Birthday! I wish you all fellow XMR hodlers & traders a prosperous and joyful future. XMR is an idea worth investing in, it has a great community, devoted members and developers. I don't know if it grows bigger than BTC (that would've been awesome since I hold a lot more than my BTCs) but I believe it will soon be the 1st altcoin in capitalization.

A great "Thank you" to every developer and every member of this community for keeping this alive and bring it to our lives.

Happy Birthday XMR!!

Money often costs too much.

Quote from: GreekBitcoin on April 18, 2015, 06:37:40 PM

This is a good observation. Around the time monero was created there were 10 coins created per day. Some of them even bubbled but almost all of them today are nowhere to be seen. Monero bubbled a bit. Dumped a bit. And now seems in a good state. Lots of work to be done for sure and and from the community end too! But that observation with a few beers seems promising

Same feelings, arrived a tad late on the altcoin crazyness but seen many come, and go. The distinction is all about picking the ones who prevail.

Crypto is the separation of Power and State.

Monero is the opaque black pepper which complements the clear white salt of Bitcoin.

Both are needed on every dining table and in every kitchen. They do not compete, but rather accrue synergies with dynamic value propositions:
