Re: [ANN][MRO] Monero - a coin with strong privacy based on CryptoNote technology
Do not start daemon/wallet on different port.
Reboot computer. Start bitmonerod from command line. Let sync. "important to let finish syncing" start wallet from command line and type start_mining from within wallet.
I know it more complicated than other coin for now. Devs are working on GUI to make simple and easy from Windows. It's new coin working out issues like any other. It is different from other coins. Issues will be resolved in short time. Give try and inform on status. Happy mining
Edit:
After bitmonerod sync, type "save" in window to write blockchain to hard drive. When closing bitmonerod type exit in window to write latest block information to hard drive. Does not write autmatically. It is important to wait until bitmonerod sync before start mining. You will see message like:
You are now synchronized with the network. You may now start simplewallet.
Please note, that the blockchain will be saved only after you quit the daemon wi
th "exit" command or if you use "save" command.
Otherwise, you will possibly need to synchronize the blockchain again.
Then ready to mine. Let know if this fixes issue.

Actually coming from Unix/Linux I don't mind command line applications, but at least the documentation should be correct and the script posted in the Windows tutorial does NOT work.
Doing everything by hand (like in the Linux tutorial) works, so thanks for your help.
So you have working? If so thats good. I am glad to help. Good luck mining!
Windows tutorial will be changed to make easier to understand and be successful mining.
Edit:
Devs are working on Windows GUI that will make mining easier for Windows users that don't have command line experience. This should be available soon but I cannot give definite time frame. Mac GUI should be released shortly after. Things are happening and updates will be forthcoming. Thanks for your interest in Monero. Many people are working hard to bring this coin to everyone and make strong for the future.
