So I feel completely idiotic right now ... this whole time I've been having trouble running these programs on my windows for 64-bit because that's what I thought I had, only to realize that I think I have a 32-bit because when I finally took time to read the error message that comes up when trying to extract bitmonerod.exe or something of the sort it says that "this application is not Win32 compatible" ... sigh, I guess that's what I get for being very impatient with things.

So I guess my question would be, is it worth it to try and run this stuff on my computer? Or should I just stick with buying monero and putting it into mymonero for holding?

If you are receiving that message, you are either using a 32-bit OS that is unsupported or you are downloading corrupted binaries every single time for some reason. Monero is still officially very alpha and its not your fault for having troubles. It only feels right telling you to do like I did, that is running Monero on Linux (but please make backups before trying to install any version - I recommend Ubuntu 14.04 or Mint 17.2). I have always been able to use the newest code on Linux and watch the evolution of this coin with my own eyes. I understand some are not confortable with Linux and unless you are just testing binaries I recommend not keeping your Monero on Windows (not even with mymonero). I still use mymonero as my hotwallet but I do not use it as cold wallet, I recommend you try to get used to Linux, this is a time for early adopters if Monero will ever be remotely mass-used. So answering your question I do think it is worth running this stuff but only on a PC you own and that is running GNU/Linux.

Alternative version for the cube wallet.




I am open to suggestions of the community.

I would just imagine I would have to take a lot of time to learn command lines, which I really don't have extra time for... Plus the process of getting Linux on my computer seems complicated in terms of having to download it on a USB first. Plus I'm not quite sure if I have a spare 40 GB on my computer to run everything the way it's supposed too. Maybe during a rainy day I'll try to figure it all out... I'm just very illiterate when it comes to setting stuff up myself on computers.

Need XMR Windows Wallet 32Bit, Please provide.



Thank you.!

There is no official wallet. But there are several third party ones.

What function would that serve to have it for "emergencies"? What would be classified as an emergency?

Being able to use a computer at a friend or relatives that  has half the screen covered in task bars.

no slight meant sir! I just meant that for those in need of a GUI, it might be a tall order. I should really just give it a shot though... perhaps make a video!! Sweet that moo integrated that into simplewallet. Simplewallet is going beyond simple. I'll rename my bin complexwallet

Hi, it's me again.

I tried to download and install the wallet. That went well.
Then I started syncing, but after a while I needed to close it, because my laptop become very slow 

Any ideas how to solve this? I'm sorry, I didn't read in this topic yet. Maybe there is a solution already.
If there isn't, i'm sorry, but then I won't be able to test out XMR and just stick with DASH.
I don't want to buy a faster laptop just to test a cryptocurrency.


Meanwhile I managed to test DASH and was wondering how Monero compares to that. Wasn't able to test it due to the problems with my wallet, but maybe someone else knows the details:

FYI: I had 2 DASH in my wallet so I could test out the features.
* Mixing my full balance took 3 hours. How long would it take to mix 10 XMR (about the same value)
* When I was mixing, the wallet showed that sometimes masternodes were idle (probably because they weren't upgraded). Is the mixing network of Monero faster?
* Doing a darksend transaction of +/- 1 DASH costed me 0.1 DASH. What is the fee for an XMR "darksend" ?
