there is a problem with the conversion of db in windows

error
C:/msys64/home/Reggi/bitmonero/external/db_drivers/liblmdb64/mdb.c:5312: Ass ertion 'root > 1' failed in mdb_page_search()

and i found this

http://www.openldap.org/its/index.cgi/?findid=7956

Code:

If you compact an empty environment, the copy in meta page 1 is written with the
main DB's root page set to 1, (i.e., pointing to itself) which is invalid.
Attempting to write to the copy triggers an assert.

Workaround - don't try to compact an empty environment... Fix coming shortly.

Thanks - we'll take a look at this, Windows is being a little bit irritating for a number of reasons;)

if you have 2 addresses, one is a real address (with private key) and one burn address, then you can publish the viewkey of the first one and see all the transactions made from this address to the burn address.

Are you sure? I think what you would see as destination would be a stealth destination (maybe corresponding to the burn address, without any way to prove it).

This.

To prove/show a transaction you must have a view key, which you can't obtain without a private key, so I guess you can't burn coins without a third party trust provider (a notary?).

In Bitcoin you can just create a valid address (vanity like) for which is almost impossible to have obtained the private key, I don't know if this can be true for cryptonote addresses, I guess you can, but again you end up without a way to see transactions.

Can't you just set the mix-in so high that the coins are redistributed back to the miners?

Heh.. That's good out of the box thinking. But will that not rape the blockchain?

No need to set mixin really high, you can just pay the whole thing in fees if that's what you want.

Though I don't think that's what he wants...
I'm quite certain this address isn't that difficult to create; I just haven't had any luck finding what exactly the public keys are massaged with to create the "address".

BTC is like this:
1. = RIPEMD160(SHA256(public ECDSA key))
2. = networkbytes(00) + 1.
3. = SHA256(SHA256(2.))
4. = 2. + 1st four bytes of 3.
5. = Base58(4.)

Now what is done to XMR?

The issue is that with ring sigs coupled with stealth addresses, without having the viewkey (derived from the spend key), you can't really see the ending balance. Having a burn address where one can't prove the existing balance does no good.

It's interesting that yours breaks about the same spot as mine in terms of height (granted, I don't get that particular error IIRC). I have tried the converter and it gets to about 220-240k and then exits to command prompt. Thought I was on to something converting to raw via export and importing but stops once it gets to a similar blockheight. When I get home from work, I'll dump what logs I have and some screen grabs.

Or an even more ridiculous solution to this burn address is to use XMR.to

....... but I guess if you want "proof of burn" for XMR this does not accomplish this.

After the disappointment (or worse) of the FreeBazaar project, people are going to be understandably more reluctant to give direct donations to even a legitimate project.

Until the crowdfunding features of the Monero forum are up and running I'd suggest finding a trusted escrow to hold the funds and release them upon defined milestones (some could be released at start once a funding goal is achieved).

The readme.md hasn't even been changed from OpenBazaar: https://github.com/freebazaar/FreeBazaar

We're not sure - at this stage it appears that they are linking to the binaries on getmonero.org, but as it is somebody who is unknown it should be treated with caution. The fact that they link to MinerGate (a pool most likely operated by the BCN scammers) is also quite concerning.

Community sites are always welcome, but this is not obviously a community site. To anyone coming across it they would think it is the official site, which makes it especially dangerous. Perhaps they are trying to build up some SEO, after which they can just change links to whatever they want.
