[XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency

[Willywillson]

hi,
i am just installing my monero wallet and would like to ask if there is any chance to change the daemon log path? it is automatically saved on my smaller hard drive which has not enough space left. I was able to change the wallet log path but am uncertain about the daemon log path. i couldnt find anything helpful so far.

Try this:

https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/3086/how-to-change-location-of-the-blockchain-with-monero-gui

ive tried this. the chain is now safed at the directory i ve chosen but the space on the other hard drive is still decreasing. dont know what it is. is there any alternative wallet availabe (maybe web based) you do recommend?

You're better off trusting a remote node than a web wallet IMHO https://getmonero.org/resources/user-guides/remote_node_gui.html

Try to restart the GUI + daemon. To clarify, you applied aforementioned guide right? I, perhaps, should've clarified that it only goes into effect when you restart the GUI  + daemon.

Btw, if you don't want to lose any progress, you can copy data.mdb to the new directory.

He's using the official GUI, not a web wallet. If he were though, I'd have agreed with you.

I misread, my bad.

A pity for me Monero doesn't have the bounty campaign.  this coin is my real loved coin, the first I knew

real privacy transaction! all people can benefit.

Sure it does, Bug bounties and you can always make a funding proposal on either reddit or getmonero.org. At least I think you can use reddit, I don't frequent it much.

Just an FYI guys, not all keyboards are created equally! Hah this is no surprise, cherish those 486's and old mechanical input devices.


keyboard found to contain hidden keylogger

https://www.techspot.com/news/71768-popular-budget-mechanical-keyboard-found-contain-hidden-keylogger.html

except it was debunk, there is no keylogger inside this keyboard...

Updated, 11/7/2017, 8:40am PT: An earlier version of the article stated that the keyboard's software was sending key presses. However, in a closer look, it seems that the Cloud Driver software doesn't send the key presses to the Alibaba server but only how many times each key has been pressed.

http://www.tomshardware.com/news/mantistek-gk2-collects-typed-keys,35850.html

Well key occurrences  along with if you have the timestamps of the keys pressed, depending how frequently stats get pushed home, you could make a list of probable words typed.

It would seem if you only log in then largely use the mouse for browsing, they could get a pretty good anagram of your password after a few months.

I agree with both of you, it would not be tough to crunch a word list with time stamps and keypress amounts. Maybe thats enough smoke and mirrors for the layman (moronic masses:: sheeple) to think they are not being logged but any first year programmer or mildly intelligent person could figure this out.

Monero For Good: How Mining Cryptocurrency Has Become a Philanthropic Venture

https://investfeededge.com/monero-good-mining-cryptocurrency-become-philanthropic-venture/


Monero (XMR/USD), unfortunately, has garnered a negative reputation due to it being caught up in darkweb dealings. However, new charities have found creative ways in which users can mine it (due to its Cryptonite algorithm closing the door to ASICs) using a fraction of their CPU power and donate it to worthy causes.

Bail Bloc is a charity initiative that looks to tackle the growing problem surrounding bail in the United States. It’s a product of The New Inquiry, and is currently working with the Bronx Freedom Fund – which is an organization built around helping New York City based individuals who’ve committed misdemeanors pay off their bail.

Bail Bloc’s program mines Monero, which is then exchanged for USD and donated to the Bronx Freedom Fund. Once January 2018 comes, the project will be routing funds to The Bail Project which covers over three dozen cities in the United States..........

[Willywillson]

i made the following steps:

1. Exit the GUI and make sure to close the daemon as well.

2. Browse to the directory monero-wallet-gui.exe is located.

3. Open a new command prompt. This is done by first making sure your cursor isn't located on any of the files and subsequently doing SHIFT + right click. It will give you an option to "Open command window here".

4. Now type -> monerod.exe --db-salvage

5. If that doesn't work, you, unfortunately have to resync from scratch. A resync is easily triggered by deleting C:\ProgramData\bitmonero.

6. restart wallet

7.followed that link https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/3086/how-to-change-location-of-the-blockchain-with-monero-gui

but it does not work. step seven is messing it up. an error massage pops up saying daemon is not able to start. so i have to clear "daemon starup flags" again and restart GUI. its syncing now unfortunately on the wrong hard drive. ^^

Thanks to /u/savandra  


Monero: Kovri

Great job.

Alert, there are 3 coins ie IOTA, ETC and NEM are approaching Monero marketcap, I'm afraid the 3 coins will replace Monero and XMR will out of the top 10.

Who cares really? None of those are in the same marketspace.

now mine monero so hard
i'm using minergate I dont know that minergate problem or what because now block not find
for backup I'm use coinhive and so perfect but low rate

minergate==scam

Those can not sustain the achievement in case if they over take marketcap of Monero. They need millions o dollars daily trading volume to be there which is very hard without being supported by large community and support. Monero has these two things so watch things is large perspective and you will not see anything to be worried about.

Agreed hope price will stable on 0.02 btc or high. As today xmr profit for less process mining

Price speculation thread.

This is really nice to see.

[Cah Bagoes]

Steady, we'll be watching a lot of XMR surprises, I still keep XMR for sure XMR's future will continue to improve.

[raoulsergia]

I believe Monero is slowly growing in traction and getting ready for another big pump I hope very soon it will reach $200. Current price is still very low as compare with it's competitor market than it has more superior tech and potentially it has room of growth to get more better position in coming days.
Infact it is still the best privacy coin maybe the only real privacy coin

Why are you performing step 1 to 6? Those were meant for someone else and they were stated in a separate message. You merely had to follow this and restart the GUI + daemon:

https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/3086/how-to-change-location-of-the-blockchain-with-monero-gui

Hopefully your blockchain is not corrupted now.

Could you start your GUI, go to the Settings page, and press Show status? Subsequently, paste the output here.

[dEBRUYNE]

There's the --db-salvage flag, which has to be applied to monerod.exe from the command line, but it's unlikely that it'll "uncorrupt" your blockchain. However, if you'd like to give it a shot, it's done as follows.

1. Exit the GUI and make sure to close the daemon as well.

2. Browse to the directory monero-wallet-gui.exe is located.

3. Open a new command prompt. This is done by first making sure your cursor isn't located on any of the files and subsequently doing SHIFT + right click. It will give you an option to "Open command window here".

4. Now type -> monerod.exe --db-salvage

5. If that doesn't work, you, unfortunately have to resync from scratch. A resync is easily triggered by deleting C:\ProgramData\bitmonero.

Whilst you're syncing the blockchain using the daemon (monerod.exe), always make sure to exit it gracefully. If you're using the CLI, this is done by simply typing "exit" into monerod.exe. In addition, if you're using the GUI, simply click on the x to close the GUI and make sure to close the daemon as well.

Thanks dEBRUYNE for the fast response! Unfortunately now luck with the --db-salvage flag, so re-syncing, new ssd drive so much faster than my old hdd.

I did not perform a forced exit from the daemon, just left it running on a machine and used the save command regularly - then when i went back to check it several hours later the daemon had just closed and would not re-initialize, would this just be a glitch? or is there anything i could check to stop it happening again? Cheers

Are you sure your system didn't perform an automatic restart because of some updates?

or is there anything i could check to stop it happening again

Make sure to check whether there are any automatic restarts queued, because Windows will just ignore any program that is running and force quit it.

P.S. An SSD is significantly faster than an HDD with respect to syncing. Thus, if possible, always make sure to sync it to an SSD.

Bitcoin, Litecoin Devs May Integrate Monero’s Confidential Transactions

https://themerkle.com/bitcoin-litecoin-devs-may-integrate-moneros-confidential-transactions/

Most cryptocurrency users acknowledge that both Bitcoin and Litecoin lack serious privacy features. Neither of these popular currencies mask user identities completely, whereas altcoins such as Monero do exactly that. It turns out we may see some of Monero’s technology show up in both Bitcoin and Litecoin soon. Confidential Transactions are an option well worth exploring by the developers of both currencies. It’s an interesting situation, to say the very least............

Can Confidential Transactions (CT) Power Bitcoin Past Privacy Coins?

[garytheasshole]

Was it here or the speculation thread where it was mentioned that CTs won't really work for Bitcoin/Litecoin since not all transactions are confidential?

Well it looks like the drooling masses will be catching on now.

As Litecoin creator Charlie Lee noted just days ago, fungibility is the “only feature of good money that Bitcoin/Litecoin is missing.”

    I'm excited to see progress on Confidential Transactions. Fungibility is the only feature of good money that Bitcoin/Litecoin is missing.

    I look forward to adding this to Litecoin when it is ready. 🚀 And this can be done with a soft fork. Stay tuned!

    — Charlie Lee [LTC] (@SatoshiLite) November 14, 2017

We have been yelling Fungability from the rooftops for years but no your going to be told from every n00b that shows up in the scene all about it like it's some new idea. Lol

I'm not sure how it will work out though being added to such established chains?

@Smooth, can you explain how effective this would be on BTC?

Does anyone know if it would be mandatory or what mixing level they would enforce and how they would deal with the massive bloat it would add? Do they see the new block reduction (forgot the name dammit) thats being discussed as an offset?

[johnson222]

Implementing the cutting edge technology and updates is what makes a crypto great so monero should also have some updates and new features as other coins are implementing its anonymous transaction features
