Are we doing enough in Venezuela?

I saw the vicious attacks Bitcoin Maxis threw at Dash based on Peter McCormk visit to Venezuela, and they were not unexpected, BTC cultists have always discredited anything Dash teams have done, and since much of our achievements of being real Digital Cash is based on what teams in Venezuela achieved, it makes sense for them to discredit Dash by discrediting adoption in Venezuela.

But on the other hand, we have failed to support and give feedback to the teams operating there, because since the Eugenia&DashMerchant era, we have not given steady funding to teams operating there.

Last month there were 4 small Venezuelan teams asking for a total of 243 Dash in total for all of them:

-Dash mall (45 Dash)

- DashHelp (51 Dash)

- Dash impulse (71 Dash); and

- Dash Text (76 Dash),

We only funded Dash Mall and Dash Text, meaning we provided 121 Dash to (one of) our most important regions for growth, leaving DashHelp for the second month without funds and letting DashImpulse dry of funds for the third consecutive month (These guys chose to stay with Dash and not follow George into BCH)

To provide a reference, we funded higher amounts to similar proposals in less DAsh intensive parts of the world: We funded Dash Thailand with 264 Dash and funded DACH Embassy with 381 Dash in the same period. (I have nothing against these teams, I think they do good work, but we must compare)

So while our haters lie and say that we abandoned Venezuela and are not interested in LatAm in order to hurt our growth, it is key for the DAO to provide feedback to the Venezuelan teams if we want to grow and keep leading the region. This is very important if we want to keep them active, and operating for Dash.

Shall we ask them to consolidate into one team? Shall we ask them to pivot from their current activities? How can we as a DAO guide them to do activities that we believe are more meaningful and will provide a higher value to Dash? How can we help them help us?

How to liquidate everything and get out?

I have a Binance account with a couple thousand dollars worth of BCH and BNB that I purchased. I also have 500 JEX and 2 BCHSV, that I think I received via airdrop, which seems almost worthless and on top of that it doesn't seem like there is any way to sell or trade them.

I would like to convert everything to bitcoin so I can send it over to Coinbase, convert to USD and send it to my bank. I don't know how to get rid of the JEX and BCHSV.

It's not that I don't believe in crypto anymore. I just don't have enough of it to make it worth the headaches of keeping track of it and I'm trying to simplify my life. I would like to do a full and final liquidation of everything so I don't have to worry about airdrops and any other crypto related taxable events going forward. I'll pay my last crypto related tax in 2020 and then be done with it. Please help.

Web-based wallets

Wallet Description Link

XMRWallet Web wallet with TOR support. Web / Onion URL
Guarda Multi-asset wallet. Web

How long does it take for my balance to unlock?

Your balance is unlocked after 10 confirmations (which means 10 mined blocks). A block is mined approximately every two minutes on the Monero network, so that would be around 20 minutes.

How can I prove that I sent a payment?

The fastest and most direct way is by using the ExploreMonero blockchain explorer. You will need to recover the transaction key from your wallet (complete guide for GUI / CLI).

How do I buy Monero (XMR) with Bitcoin (BTC)?

There are dozens of exchanges that trade Monero against Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Check out the list on CoinMarketCap and choose the option that suits you best.

How do I buy Monero (XMR) with fiat?

  • Kraken (USD and EUR): old-school, decent exchange. They might require your documents for verification and approval of your account.
  • LocalMonero: peer-to-peer exchange. They have pretty much everything as a payment method and they support hundreds of fiat options.

How can I quickly exchange my Monero (XMR) for Bitcoin (BTC)?

There are multiple ways to exchange your Monero for Bitcoin, but first of all, I'd like to remind you that if you really want to do your part for Monero, one of the simplest ways is to get in touch with your merchant/service provider and request for it to accept Monero directly as payment. Ask the service provider to visit the official website and our communication channels if he or she needs help with system integration.

That being said, the community has been recommending two services in particular, XMR.TO and MorphToken. These services are only recommendations and are operated by entities outside the control of the Monero Project. Be diligent.

How do I mine Monero? And other mining questions.

The correct place to ask questions and discuss the Monero mining scene is in the dedicated subreddit r/MoneroMining. That being said, you can find a list of pools and available mining software in the GetMonero.org website.


2. Wallet: CLI & GUI

Why I can't see my balance? Where is my XMR?

Before any action there are two things to check:

  1. Are you using the latest available version of the wallet? A new version is released roughly every 6 months, so make sure you're using the current release (compare the release on GetMonero.org with your wallet's version on Settings, under Debug info).
  2. Is your wallet fully synchronized? If it isn't, wait the sync to complete.

Because Monero is different from Bitcoin, wallet synchronization is not instant. The software needs to synchronize the blockchain and use your private keys to identify your transactions. Check in the lower left corner (GUI) if the wallet is synchronized.

You can't send transactions and your balance might be wrong or unavailable if the wallet is not synced with the network. So please wait.

If this is not a sufficient answer for your case and you're looking for more information, please see this answer on StackExchange.

How do I upgrade my wallet to the newest version?

This question is beautifully answered on StackExchange.

Why does it take so long to sync the wallet [for the first time]?

You have decided to use Monero's wallet and run a local node. Congratulations! You have chosen the safest and most secure option for your privacy, but unfortunately this has an initial cost. The first reason for the slowness is that you will need to download the entire blockchain, which is considerably heavy (+70 GB) and constantly growing. There are technologies being implemented in Monero to slow this growth, however it is inevitable to make this initial download to run a full node. Consider syncing to a device that has an SSD instead of an HDD, as this greatly impacts the speed of synchronization.

Now that the blockchain is on your computer, the next time you run the wallet you only need to download new blocks, which should take seconds or minutes (depending on how often you use the wallet).

I don't want to download the blockchain, how can I skip that?

The way to skip downloading the blockchain is connecting your wallet to a public remote node. You can follow this guide on how to set it up. You can find a list of public remote nodes on MoneroWorld.

Be advised that when using a public remote node you lose some of your privacy. A public remote node is able to identify your IP and opens up a range for certain attacks that further diminish your privacy. A remote node can't see your balance and it can't spend your XMR.

How do I restore my wallet from the mnemonic seed or from the keys?

To restore your wallet with the 25 word mnemonic seed, please see this guide.

To restore your wallet with your keys, please see this guide.


3. Wallet: Ledger

How do I generate a Ledger Monero Wallet with the GUI or CLI?

This question is beautifully answered on StackExchange. Check this page for the GUI instructions, and this page for the CLI instructions.


4. Nodes

How can my local node become a public remote node?

If you want to support other Monero users by making your node public, you can follow the instructions on MoneroWorld, under the section "How To Include Your Node On Moneroworld".

How can I connect my node via Tor?

This question is beautifully answered on StackExchange.
