Cryptocurrency for newcomers: let's deal with the most popular cryptocurrency of the 21st century

https://i.redd.it/292j5v2ieyq11.jpg

Cryptocurrency is often considered as a part of what has been called the black market. But let's be honest: there is something “black” only in black humor, black Bimmer and under-the table wages. But cryptocurrency is officially declared money, and Dapcar gives you a real chance to get rich. Don`t believe those who say, you are joining the dark side. If you want to understand the cryptocurrency and earn some tokens, but you don't know anything about the miners, and you know the meaning of the word “farm” just as paddock with lambs — read the post below, let's try to figure it out together!

Do you see how the number of ICOs is growing exponentially on the Internet? Do you hear how people discuss Bitcoin and Ethereum every day? And what about you? Are you still using fiat money? Do you want to have a real crypto wallet? Stop dreaming, make your dreams come true. So, let's start: what is cryptocurrency, and why even Sheldon from “The Big Bang Theory” talks about it?

Believe it or not, cryptocurrency is money. Ordinary digital money that can`t stuck in ATM and won't be lost during the transfer to your aunt even across the globe. Let's go through the main notions that experienced cryptocurrency holder knows by heart. Take your pen and sheet of paper, you'd better write them down.

Blockchain is the most secure and the fastest way to handle our finances, to transfer "digital money". Bitcoin is one of the most popular digital cryptocurrencies. Ethereum is not only the world's second-largest cryptocurrency, but also an open-source, public, blockchain-based distributed computing platform and operating system featuring smart contract functionality. ICO is Initial coin offering. What are tokens? Comm`n, are you serious? Tokens are the very cryptocurrency created on the already existing blockchain or protocol; you can use tokens as payment for service or product. The terms crypto ‘coin’ and ‘token’ are often used interchangeably. They say that ‘coin’ and ‘token’ are twin brothers. Don`t believe! They are not even friends. The definition of a digital coin is an asset that is native to its own blockchain. Think about Bitcoin or Ether. Each of these coins exists on their own blockchain.

Once upon a time there was the notion of "miner" in the dictionary, but now it is outdated. The miners were called such enthusiasts who in golden age of crypto industry mined cryptocurrency from wells. Wait, don't go to the bathroom, this method works no longer. However, you can get cryptocurrency by other means! How? It's very easy, because you are already with Dapcar. Go to the platform right now, register your crypto wallet (if you don’t have it yet, its creation will take just a minute and there is a step-by-step guide for your convenience), start the race with the same crazy enthusiast as you are and enjoy watching your account becoming rich. Oh yeah, in Dapcar you will get cryptocurrency in any case, any outcome of the race - even for the loss.

Have you ever thought that making money and having fun can be at the same time? It is not a dream, for you it is easier than for Jared Leto to get his Oscar. And by the way, it is safe, because in Dapcar the main method of payment is Ethereum, that provides unlimited opportunities for implementing open automated algorithms, looking at which you can see all the steps of transferring your cryptocurrency and understand that there is no forgery.

So, what are you still waiting for? Thousands of people around the world have already started to improve their own well-being with Dapcar. Don`t fall behind!

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 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 answer 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 (+60 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 answer is beautifully answered on StackExchange. Check this page for the GUI instructions, and this page for the CLI instructions.


4. Nodes

How can I 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?
