Has anyone gotten the qr code to work in the seeds and keys settings for the GUI?

I have so far tried with 3 seperate apps and none of them are able to read the qr code here. am i missing something or does it simply not work at the moment?

For personal reasons, my current setup involves a remote node for the GUI. I just tried to sign a TX offline and when I submitted the signed TX file i got the error that key images can only be used with a trusted daemon. However, it looks like the TX went through. My question is what was the error talking about? why did my tx go thru if it said that? I'm mostly just confused.

Hey everyone, I was supposed to have a couple transactions come in yesterday and when I went to sync on the old gui version, it said I needed to update (when I checked the status).

So I updated everything, but the Daemon seems to be stuck at block 1602294? I'm not sure. I have the daemon running locally here, but i see the capability for the remote node too? Not sure what values I should be putting in here to get the wallet to sync correctly.

When I go to "show status" it says: "Height: 1602294/1602294 (100.0%) on mainnet, not mining, net hash 1.01 GH/s, v7, up to date, 5(out)+0(in) connections".

Not sure is this means it is working because the value of the transactions I'm expecting has not been added to my balance. Any help would be super appreciated.

I've gotten heavily into mining in the past few months, and as a result I hear people telling me to mine Cryptonight coins other than Monero and trade it for XMR.

But when looking into the popular forks, I just don't see a ton of real-world uses. Are there any forks doing meaningful things for the privacy coin ecosystem, Monero, or blockchain tech in general?

The only two I've come across that seem alright are Aeon and Masari, with Aeon seeming to be the one with the most use-case as a mobile/lite Monero.

If this is a bad place to post this, feel free to delete the post, just was wondering if any other Cryptonote coins were doing cool things! I'm really in this for the tech (I know, I know), and LOVE Monero so far.

I have not heard any news about Monero on new DNMs for a long time. Anyone has more info on where to "track" this?

As it would be inappropriate to identify real Bitcoin or Ethereum users “special care-required personal information” this post will present hypothetical experiments using fake users, fake data, fake doctors and fake medical data from you guessed it a fake hospital. Our team armed with every coin analytics tool available will be challeged with the goal of identifying the individuals that visit our hospital, which doctor they saw, the balance of their wallets, the amount they spent, the exact medical procedure they underwent, their race and in the case of some of our fake users their criminal history. All we will have is a single Sub Address from our hypothetical hospitals Bitcoin and Ethereum wallet as well as a list of doctors and procedures offered as well as a price list in $USD for the procedures offered by each doctor. These experiments will however be made on real Bitcoin transactions simulating real users at a real hospital. The aim of our experiments is to bring to light the growing danger posed by non privacy protecting coins to the general public. Governments around the world have redoubled their efforts to protect this kind of data from being disclosed without consent with legislation passing in the EU and an increasing number of jurisdictions in the Asia-Pacific region . Ironically many laws surrounding cryptocurrency fly directly in the face of these efforts leaving any person who uses and buys crypto vulnerable to any other individual, government or foreign government with access to the blockchain and the tools necessary to analyze transactions without that users consent. The wider adoption of cryptocurrency will hinge on protecting these user rights through obfuscation mechanisms such as those found in Monero which adhere to laws regarding "anonymously processed information" where personal information has been anonymized, pseudonymized, or otherwise processed so that there is no practical possibility of re-identifying the data subject. At present the experiment is not open to the public. we will publish the results of our analysis in the coming days and weeks. In the future we propose to bring similar experiments and challenges to the wider community along with prizes with the goal of raising awareness about the importance of privacy protecting mechanisms for wider adoption and use in the legitimate economy.

In a twist on the existing narrative where unauthorized browser miners have been arrested in Japan and privacy coins have been delisted at a number of Japanese exchanges, the Monero4Japan initiative aims to raise funds for Japans largest charitable and political organizations through permissioned browser mining with coinhive. A large part of the initiative is getting organizations to accept and use Monero as well as convincing authorities that full, safe disclosure of funds through the use of Monero viewkeys is adequate for the purpose of paying taxes, auditing funds and providing adequate transparency for authorities to police the market, while not intruding on the private lives of citizens by overextending that oversight into citizens private lives. Additionally it will give weight to the argument that there are very real benefits to browser miners when mining is fully disclosed to site vistiors. Monero4Japan will also hire a lawyer in Japan with in depth knowledge of the Japanese Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI) and the new Personal Information Protection Commission (PPC)to lobby the Japanese government and bring legal challenges to current attempts to stifle innovation in the field of alternative finance and cryptography.

I sent two transactions to Binance on my old wallet version. I have now followed all steps using new wallet, that is, performed flush_pool, renamed wallet file to -old. Still no sign of XMR and history does not show failed.

I have performed the pop block protocol.

Is there a moderator in the house who can guide me? I'd really appreciate this. Thanks

When I log into my wallet, it says "Your account is catching up, your details may be out-of-date until it is finished (627 blocks behind) This is not an error, and you do not have to do anything except wait until it is complete." The blocks keep on increasing. help
