I dont know. Perhaps they are going to resend the coin to poloniex but this time they want to be sure I dont forget the poloniex payment ID.
I can not find the way to create a payment ID from simplewallet. Help in simplewallet do not help

Or the other option is Bittrex want to help you and send your funds to poloniex with the poloniex address and payment id so if this is the case you could get them from poloniex -> balances (click on the generate payment id button if you didn't done it already).

Either a Poloniex wallet address and payment ID, or the Bittrex ones should be enough

At least all this trouble people have with payment IDs goes to show that XMR is anonymous by default, an extra process is required to make a payment identifiable

Can somebody compare boolberry and monero for me? Not sure what one's advantage is over the others. I see that monero uses CryptoNight algo while boolberry uses Wild Keccak..

If you do not have computer skills, for this you should GNU/Linux as it work out of the box (see monero.cc Getting started - for install_monero.sh). Firstly, you can try it from USB bootable stick (see e.g. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows) on which changes will be saved if you set up persistence.

I found out about BTC 6 month ago, and I never actually used Electrum, but I'we been reading about best practices for deterministic wallets and I'we been running bitmonero daemon for a few weeks now. And, for what I understand, if you just wish to create a seed you may not use persistence and can skip installing cpuminer - the script will guide you through the process. Then you would disconnect from the network and generate a wallet, after which should be the same as with your other seeds. I suppose that there are no watching only option for simplewallet, at least at the moment.

One of things that I like about Monero is egalitarian idea behind it (which seems to be working) so if you put to work even old computer, and you let it mine within the daemon, you actually have a chance of finding a block.
It would be nice if Monero GNU/Linux distro comes to life, after i2p is reimplemented in c++

True, but that's not really the reason. In fact most exchanges recommend sending payments with a mixin of 0, which means the sender is not really anonymous.

The reason for the difference in handling of deposits is that bitcoin (and clone) wallets make it easy to create one more more new deposit addresses for each user account. Deposits can then be identified by the address to which they are sent. This coin does not make that easy, so the payment ID mechanism is required.

I must have less than no computer skills.  I downloaded Monero as all I needed to do was click.  I was following the MoneroTalk tutorial where it said after downloadimg (one of the 5 files they show is a zip file which I don't have, just the other 4) I am instructed to SIMPLY move the file to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming.  After googling and searching for what would be the correct name of my USERPROFILE I came  up empty handed.  One hour gone.

On the Monereo site it basically says their installation instruction only work for Linux.  I had recently saved a link that explains dual boot with linux.  I just read it and stopped when they talk about partitioning my hard drive.  Am I to assume that using a bootable USB stick is easier?  If I am running Monero with linux can I use my computer in Windows as well?  I use my computer a lot during the day and must use windows.

Update on the mining instructions:
Addition of the newest parameters for Wolf's cpuminer:

XMR is the future.

Depends, I'm guessing you are running Ubuntu with the standard desktop to get this far and be stuck, in which case click the top most icon on the lefthand side of screen and type "terminal" in the search box - shell is the terminal. If you dont have a desktop and are already typing everything then you are already there
