| Feb 19, 2023 at 4:31 | comment | added | MoneroMania | An update. I have a Bitcoin wallet called Electrum. So I did a search. Are there Monero wallets that are like Electrum. I found one, and it is called MyMonero. I don't have to download any blocks. It is light, and easy to use. | |
| Feb 17, 2023 at 22:15 | comment | added | MoneroMania | I now have another problem. Windows updated today. Now when I click on Monerod, it opens up. But then a popup comes up, and it says Monerod has stopped working. Should I create another post for that, or is this the right place for this problem. I was at 525,000. | |

| Jan 22, 2023 at 15:43 | comment | added | MoneroMania | After downloading 53.4 GB, it stopped, and said download complete. Is there away to resume the download? If not, then I might just sync it normally. | |

| Jan 21, 2023 at 2:32 | comment | added | MoneroMania | I went to the website, to download the raw blockchain. But it says it will take 22 hours, to 1 day to download. Unless I can pause the download, and download some more the next couple of days, I might just stop the download, and just keep using Monerod. Can the download be paused, and restarted the next day? Here is where I got the download from. getmonero.org/resources/user-guides/importing_blockchain.html | |
| Jan 18, 2023 at 4:08 | comment | added | MoneroMania | I started the Monerod on Dec. 19th. I was running it in Nov., but I closed it wrong, and had to reinstall the wallet. I might try the instructions in the link I posted, on Friday night .I will have to use command prompt for that. It is at 72%, 774715 left, net hash 1.32 GH/s, v12, 12(out)+28(in) The wallet, and Monerod are showing two different numbers. Wallet says 1125500, while Monerod says 774715. | |

| Jan 17, 2023 at 4:10 | comment | added | MoneroMania | Thanks for the reply jtgrassie. Do you know how much longer it would take with a regular harddrive? How long for an SSD? Right now it is at 785,320. And net hash 1.25 GH/s, v12, 14(out)+21. It has been up foe 6 hours. Fixing to turn the computer off in a few minutes. | |
