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

So I've run the daemon the other day to sync it after a long time (months) and it kept getting visited by the OOM killer. I had 2 GB ram on that machine and after increasing to 4GB that stopped.
What is the current minimum amount of ram necessary for monerod these days?

... there are only around 1000 Monero nodes

Why do you think 1000 is a low number for Monero? I'm not saying it's high, or even enough, but I don't see any indication that would make me believe that it's the opposite.
Have you seen any reports from people trying to set up their own node and not being able to sync because of lack of open nodes with available outgoing connections?

Hi, monero-gui-v0.17.2.2 not visible balance and history transaction if old key import.
Impossible restore wallet from seed, next button inactive.
Wallet often freezing.
OS: Debian9.

Debian9 is quite old (11 was just released), not sure the devs are still targeting that. Try and restore on a more recent linux version.

Haven't seen this information posted here, so here it is: 0.17.2.0 (both CLI and GUI) was released.

Congratulations to the developers for bringing out further improvements to this project!

And many thanks for all the hard work you have put in, mostly for free. I don't think you guys receive enough praise.

I figured the .keys was probably the best route, but it keeps telling me incorrect password. What a mess-up on my part...I copied the seed word for word, the restore height, and password the second I created the file. Who knows, maybe I missed a letter/number/character when copying the password. What a learning lesson. I am going to guess it is just lost at this point if there is no way for Binance reverse the transaction. That was a semi-expensive learning lesson. Could have been much worse.

Thank you for the help!

Did you by any chance get the idea while writing down the seed to swap a couple of words around, and forgot about it?

the same with bitmonero.log log level 3

You probably have another instance running. I see this in your log:

@asteinbe
Do you need to run it as a service? First check if the daemon launches alright and syncs with the network, by just running monerod in a separate console or screen. Make sure you do this on an SSD and you have at least 100GB free.

Monerans feels about right.

I'm not sure about that. If you take out the second syllable you end up with: mo-rans

Remove most usage of Boost library

Why is Monero moving away from Boost? If I remember correctly it's been heavily used ever since the code was rewritten in C++.

Got an email today from Freewallet, saying I need to verify my account. Hah! Those scammers won't go away, will they?
Just warning you guys, never, ever go near anything related to Freewallet.

I don't trust a thing I see on that exchange anymore, I think its all smoke and mirrors using stolen coins to destroy Moneros value. It's completely controlled by institutional bankers with Zero accountability.

NO-one Should have coins on that exchange.

Which exchanges would you recommend?

Thank you very very much Chicken_76 for clearing that out. Unfortunately the payment ID was mandatory. So I am safe? With inputting anything there?

I am crazy concerned because this is the 2nd exchange that has some issues sending out to an external wallet, my first exchange is still transfering the coins for some unknown reason for several days now and support just got back to me with a response they are looking at it. The transaction failed and no coins was refunded. And now this. Sad I always thought and had an impression transfers were automated.

Adding a payment ID should not break transaction creation. I think they still work on the network if the wallet is started with a parameter to allow them, but they're very much on their way out.
As long as you entered your wallet's address correctly, you should be good. It's all in the hands of the exchange now.

Hello all!

Got a pretty noob and URGENT question with the payment id. I have sent a monero(exchange wallet) to my other monero wallet. And the exchange wallet requires a payment ID so i simply generated a random one from the mymonero.com web GUI. Now my Monero coins have yet to arrive for over an hour now.

Question is, is it ok to generate a random Monero payment ID when sending to another wallet? As I have read and understood this is a an ID simply to track the transfer of the coins. And the coins will still transfer with our without the ID or whatever string you input on the payment ID to the proper address.

Also how do you track Monero blocks? Because all I have from my exchange is the payment ID and no transaction blocks? And to be honest I am very worried about losing my coins!

Thanks for the enlightenment.


As a general rule, payment IDs are not necessary for transactions to go through, and if I'm not mistaken they will be deprecated in the next major version. Exchanges used to require them when receiving coins, so they know which user to credit with those coins. If you are sending the coins to a wallet you operate, you probably don't need a payment ID (unless you expect to receive the exact same amount from other sources too).
That being said, if the exchange's interface has a 'payment ID' field and they made it mandatory, there's nothing you can do about that.
If the exchange has indeed sent the coins, they could probably give you more information on the transaction, like in which block it was included. I would wait a bit and then contact their support.

Over the past 24h Bitcoin went up about 1% , but everything else with 'Bitcoin' in the name has been pumping hard:

Bitcoin Cash: 6%
Bitcoin SV: 56%
Bitcoin Gold: 22%
Bitcoin Diamond: 53%
Lightning Bitcoin: 12%

In the meantime, Monero only went up 3%. What do all these 'Bitcoin something's offer that Bitcoin + Monero do not? How can the market be so out of touch with reality?

I'm mostly holding but also have a bot syphoning a little off the whales as the price grows and shrinks

Are you sure it's the whales you're syphoning from?

will we really get 10 xmv against 1 xmr?


Not only that, but you get compromised privacy on both chains too!
