I really appreciate this. I have been banging my head on my keyboard for hours. Please do more vids. I like how you present difficult topics for slow people like me. Thank you so much.
Thanks Mr Thackray!!! You are an absolute bloody gentleman and a legend and I thank you for this clear introduction for dummies like myself. It will definitely help get me started. Thanks, and instant sub.
Thank you for the help with the great tutorial, I just had a question in regards to the Monero GUI client, so why dont you need to download and sync the Monero blockchain to use that and you do need to sync when using the CLI wallet?
Thank you, this video was just perfect. I've few doubts hope you'll answer them 1) let's say I downloaded the whole block chain in ~/monero directory, so can I just copy the directory to other machine and point monerod to the copied location, will this work or do I have to re-download the entire block chain? 2) I've created the account via cli but now I want to use the gui app, will it work or do both use different directory?
Hey, 1. You can definitely copy/paste the data to other devices. If it's on a HDD though copying might be slower than re-downloading though. 2. There's a settings section I believe in the gui where you can select your blockchain location, so that should work just fine. The monero stack exchange has a good answer on this if you google
Thanks for the help with the great tutorial, just one question in regards to the Monero GUI client, why dont you need to sync and download the entire Monero blockchaiin to use that as opposed to the CLI?
I'm using GUI on linux... I created an advantage mode wallet, but it doesn't connect. How can I add the blockchaine prune? So I don't need the big blockchaine. Haven't done this before and I searched the internet, but can't find a good tutorial/guide... Please help, I'm stuck.
I know this post is 2 years old, and I may not get a response. What filesystem did you use on your sdcard. It appears that ext3, ext4, and xfs are out cause they have journaling. Maybe ext2 or btrfs? I n any case ext4 won't mount. ext3 complains about corruption. I'm trying to use luks to encrypt the sdcard as well. So what would you suggest?
@@ChadThackray That's odd. I have the latest Fedora and ext4 won't mount at all on the sdcard. I get some cryptic message from dmseg about the journal. Doing a search leads me to believe I need a filesystem that doesn't have journaling like ext2. Exfat doesn't work cause basically it never was a Unix type operating system filesystem. Can't even store the SSL keys because it doesn't have the correct permissions. Maybe there are some mount options to hinder this, but I haven't found any. if ext2 doesn't work, I'll try JFFS2 or btrfs.
@@ChadThackray thanks for answer (I am degoogling , using a friend's account) I was keeping my desktop Windows for ff8 on steam and trying my Pi; but I was being lazy (All I have to do is switch ssd's) I'm downloading the blockchain on ~/Downloads and hoping to keep my private keys on the thumb drive, chmod +x some stuff, and hopefully run it from there. (I don't want my keys kept on my computer, I do have one more sdd, was planning trying to hackantosh but if this doesn't work I'll make it a crypto OS (probably still fedora, as my proprietary hardware is picky, but one I can remove and still use Linux.
If you have enough RAM I don't see why not. Will probably need at least 2GB for it to run reliably. I'm not overly familiar with PI's. If the installers don't work for you you may have to build from source

i second this lol

thanks dude, this was a massive help with not just monero but with using gpg thanks again!

Great tutorial! I’m so pleased I found your channel :)
Also, would love a tutorial on the GUI wallet.
If I wanted to mine in the background what would I do

@@ChadThackray thank you very much :)
@@ChadThackray which one is better for mining? monero gui or cli?
im new to this.
Thanks for the help with the great tutorial, just one question in regards to the Monero GUI client, why dont you need to sync and download the entire Monero blockchaiin to use that as opposed to the CLI?
It connects to someone else's node
hello I really liked your tutorial, I totally understood it
I am speak spanish
Congrats for the video.
Thanks!! Excellent tutorial!!!
Thank you so much for the video!

What about for windows please? Where to put the CLI after I download it? Is CLI daemon different from the one of the GUI?
Thanks for the video. In this case, was that wallet automatically connected to a remote node?
You're welcome! In this video I connected to my own local node that I set up by pointing monerod at the blockchain data that I already downloaded
Monero Made Easy!
Thank you! Liked and subbed. Awesome channel
hey - great video! what linux theme are you using, looks great!
Thanks! Just using the default theme that comes with linux mint

Interesting. I used ext4 and it worked ok. So not sure what problem you're having

When it is at 99% i start receiving "host blocked" in a loop, any help?
should i put the entire directory in /opt then?
You can keep the folder wherever you like. Just make sure it's on an SSD ideally
helpful
Anyone know if there is a way to store just the blockchain in a rpi?
How can you actually mine coins?
monerod writes to me: I background mining is enabled, but not started, waiting until start triggers
How to open my monero node to public?
How to change wallet address in monero cli?
Any way to use two 64GB thumbfrives?
I don't think you can split the database. You could probably run a pruned node on just one 64GB drive though

@@ChadThackray I paid much more for my ssd's, probably because they're m.2 and not USB.
will this work with a raspberry pi 4?

@@ChadThackray Ok thanks for the answer!
Skip to 8:10 for the actual tutorial.
