Compared to btrfs, ext4 is superfast. It took me about 30 hours to sync first 20% on btrfs, and about 2 hours on ext4.

Tested: 500GB HDD, openSUSE (btrfs), Arch (ext4)

Hi all New into monero and learning all the time, can’t believe it’s taken me this long to get in completely off the radar for some. Something that you hear time and time again is about large investors and institutions investing in bitcoin, but that would go against a fundamental issue for them which is privacy, bitcoin can and is traceable. Do you think these large investors and institutions are or will get into monero? Or do you see it as a purely peer to peer currency. It seems like if you could start and create a currency now it would be monero not bitcoin. Thanks

Hello! Dr. Sarang Noether here, delivering my monthly research report for April. You can read the report at this link or in the comments below.

Hi I don’t know if anyone can help but I’ve just got into monero and I am using MyMonero and cake mobile apps, perfectly fine.

I wanted to download the GUI wallet and use a ledger with it but after trying 3/4 times I gave up as it wouldn’t allow me to download it.

I use Mcafee software and it kept saying virus, I think windows also blocked it.

I heard Linux software is better anyway.

Can anyone help?

Thank you

Was banned from the Bitcoin sub for telling people to buy Monero... The mods seem to be a little insecure..

I could be wrong of course, but I think Monero will rise the most when people start feeling the peak has been reached in BTC and other coins. They will want to store their profits safely and privately. That is what Monero does better than any other coin out there right now. I think Monero will rise with the other coins but not as fast. It will see its biggest gain as the charts start signaling for a bear market.

The title says it all, how do I do this?

I ran a CleanMyMac and it came up with Monero GUI log as taking up a bunch of space. It says its system junk/useless info, but would like to double check before I clear it all and mess something up.

Heey everybody,

We wanted to let you know that we have upgraded our platform, making it easier for beginners to purchase Monero. In addition, we have added a coin info page of Monero in order for our customers to learn more about this great project. Check it out here:

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Hi All This is just a warning to all newcomers that the following seems like a scam phishing website.

https://mymonerowallet.org/

I deposited my first purchase of monero to it and nothing has showed up.

Gutted.

Don’t know if it’s possible for anyone at monero to report or take down?

I did try and use the monero wallet and ledger but every time I tried downloading it on my laptop it wouldn’t let me kept saying error, hence why I searched for monero wallet.

Stay safe everyone

I noticed that the time on the left of each input is not right with not only my current time but anywhere close to me. Is it always set to a specific place or is that something I can/should change?

Subaddresses mandatory?!

Can we make subaddresses mandatory? Let's hide the 4... address behind a "advanced" menu named "show secret main address" and advice users to not give out this main address.

The number 8 (八, pinyin: bā; Cantonese Yale: baat) sounds like "發" (pinyin: fā; Cantonese Yale: faat; literally: 'to prosper'). There is also a visual resemblance between 88 and 囍 (pinyin: shuāng xǐ; Cantonese Yale: sēung héi; literally: 'double joy'), a popular decorative design composed of two stylized characters 喜 (pinyin: xǐ; Cantonese Yale: héi; literally: 'joy'). The number 8 is viewed as such an auspicious number that even being assigned a number with several eights is considered very lucky.
