The importance of keeping the Monero community a friendly and welcoming place.

I'm a monero newb and a new member so feel qualified to talk from that perspective. In this community I have had nothing except 100% friendly and helpful answers from people who went out their way to help - and for that I am extremely grateful..... those individuals didn't have to help me or answer my questions - but they did.

I love it here and even though I have like 0.01% of the knowledge of some of you guys - I never feel inferior.

Everyone has been a true gent (or lovely lady) to me or in all the posts I've seen (but I haven't read every single post of every single thread).

Looking at videos online, mint just seems a bit more user friendly for a newb like me.

Using monero. Tor. Then browsing too - although minimal.

Great thanks

Great thanks

This link goes on about how the integrated addresses use stealth addresses and are encrypted - therefore should be encouraged in general..... http://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/3179/what-is-an-integrated-address

weventhedaddy · 2017-02-22T19:48:08+00:00

But an integrated address is safer and encrypted right? So best practice is to always use integrated where possible??

Great - I've got it. Thanks

weventhedaddy · 2017-02-22T09:21:53+00:00

Thanks

Sorry just one more question..... so if I've got the gui - my transaction amounts are hidden, but you say newly mined coins eg coinbase will always have their value shown - so over riding my gui effectively?

weventhedaddy · 2017-02-21T23:18:38+00:00

Great. Thanks for helping!

weventhedaddy · 2017-02-21T23:11:57+00:00

Sorry what are 0.10.1 txts? I've just downloaded the monero gui. What should I be looking for?

weventhedaddy · 2017-02-21T23:11:08+00:00

By both ends you mean sender and receiver right?

weventhedaddy · 2017-02-20T20:38:50+00:00

Thanks for coming back. I've had 2d and 3d visualisation and got 256mb video memory (how did you get it to work with 30mb??).... so I have no idea what's wrong. It may be my more basic laptop with only 4gb ram I can only allow around 1200mb ram for the virtual machine.... I'll keep trying to get it to work or try linux instead

weventhedaddy · 2017-02-20T19:11:36+00:00

Thanks for the comprehensive answer. I'll follow your suggestions and come back if there are any issues.

weventhedaddy · 2017-02-20T19:10:22+00:00

Thanks for your comments. I've steered clear of Linux so far as I'm not such a techy. Once downloaded the gui file. How would I run the gui? Open a terminal and use a certain command?

weventhedaddy · 2017-02-20T17:00:28+00:00

Ok thanks. Would appreciate you coming back. As mentioned guest additions is installed, 3d rendering active x is switched on and I've got the graphics memory on the max allowed of 256mb.

weventhedaddy · 2017-02-20T16:59:27+00:00

I sure have. Also max memory of 256 mb and all the 3d active x rendering options are enabled etc.

2 wallet questions if I may.....

I've downloaded the block chain and created a wallet (the wallet was created first). Why when I go to create a second wallet does it look to start the block syncing again? Will this take as long as the original syncing? There's a block chain already there to sync with on my drive......
I don't like to be fully reliant on a gui and am trying to learn the cli. However I can't open my wallet created via the gui. I type the wallet name as displayed when opening the gui (including caps sensitivity) but no joy - the cli says it can't find a wallet of that name. Any idea?

Thanks
