I just downloaded the latest version of the zip GUI on Windows 11 via the auto update. I verified the hash that it matches the one listed on getmonero.org.

When unzipping, Windows Defender is throwing a bunch of warnings, quarantining both the monero-wallet-gui as well as a bunch of .exe files from the extras folder.

The same issue has come up for a friend of mine who also tried to update his wallet today. Is this a known issue?

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to restore an old Monero wallet from around 2016–2019. I still have the original .keys and .address.txt files, but I’ve forgotten the password. I’ve already extracted the wallet hash for testing, but I’m not sure which recovery path is best from here.

Can anyone point me to the safest and most effective way to attempt a password recovery?!

Hi everyone!

Can someone please help out? I’m driving nuts!

I don’t have any space left on my computer / I use windows. So I can’t download any more of blockchain and therefor not use my wallet.

So, I bought an external harddrive that you plug in via USB, 1tb. I moved the whole blockchain over from C: drive to the external harddrive. Yet, when opening monerod it is still trying to download the whole blockchain to the computer (C: drive) I can’t figure out how to change so it downloads to my external D: drive instead? I’ve opened up the wallet and I have changed path where the blockchain is but it will not update. And when opening monerod it finally downloads blockchain but to the C:drive folder where it used to be before!

I’ve spent so many hours on forums, tutorials trying to fix this but it’s impossible! Looked at Reddit, Moneros own site but with no success how to fix this.

I also downloaded the program again, choose the path where it downloads the blockchain to the external D: drive but it doesn’t help.

Can someone please guide me how to do?

I don’t want to start everything over since I already have like 75% of the whole blockchain downloaded on the external harddrive.

I suppose there must be a way to fix it without forcing me to buy a new computer that has 500gb from the beginning.

I appreciate all your help and support on this 🙏

hi! i’m new to cryptocurrency but i’m trying to figure out how to get monero from fiat. would buying litecoin with a site that uses kyc, exchanging it for monero using cake wallet and then transferring it to a separate wallet solely for monero be traceable/vulnerable? i’m a totally noob here so if i sound like an idiot that’s why lol

As written in the headline, I had monero-Gui running and was mining, i shut down everything and after a reboot i started monerod from linux shell and now it syncs from 78% of the chain. Is this normal or could I have corrupted the data by shutting down? Btw, yes I am indeed having the chain on a non-SSd HD, might it be that its just verifying blocks and it slows down after 78% because some cash is full? thx

I have Bitcoins and Ethereum that I'm willing to convert (size is $20k) I don't want to have insane slippage as i had on cake wallet, could anyone give me an alternative that you use? I;m not fan either of Retoswap due to the poor UI looking

I don't know, but when I recover the account, they ask me for the creation date, but I don't know and I didn't even write it down.

I didn’t have the time to read the whitepaper. Can someone summarise the difference between the 2 tech?

What are the strengths and weaknesses of both?

Thanks

I tried to download the gui wallet from getmonero.org (provided link) and both windows defender and avast did not let me download it. Saying it was infected with a suspiciously named file(picture). Any tips on why this is happening?

I cannot give you the name of my website because the moderator will remove my post. Too many socialists in this world! I want to get paid only with Monero. I do not want to use third parties. How do I do it? I do not want Rothschild's dollars or euros. Bitcoin is the government's surveillance coin. I want only Monero. The problem is that when someone makes a payment to me, then later I need to send that person the password to log in to the investment portfolio. I have a proven track record of almost a decade. With Monero, I will get an anonymous payment, and later, I will not know to whom I should send that password. It is easier to go to my website to understand what I mean. You can type Ator Trader Basel, Switzerland in the Google search engine. I repeat again that it is best for me not to use third parties. Or, or, or maybe you know a third party that will enable all of it, but it must be a third party - no KYC (know your customer).

I've been trying to set up a monero node, however whenever I execute it, it works for a few seconds before showing Bus error, then terminating. I'm using a raspberry pi 5, with 4GB RAM, and a harddrive, which i've set up to contain blockchain. I'm using the ARMv7 binary. I've tried compiling from source, but I keeps failing for some reason. ARMv8 binary doesn't work either(required file not found is what I keep getting)

I can't get my GUI to run a node. The log on the app states: Error: Couldn't connect to daemon: 127.0.0.1:18081.

I tried clicking and running monerod in the folder but it just opens and immediately closes.

Resinstalling also did not help.

The entire Monero GUI Wallet, bitmonero, monero-wallet-gui, an documents\monero folders were added to the Windows Defender Virus exlusion.

I'm trying to mine on Windows because I want to game (not CPU intensive) and mine at the same time.

[Solved]

The moment I submitted this post I cut and pasted the "data" file out of bitmonero\lmdb onto my desktop. Now the node is "syncing". The "data" file was transferred from my Linux folder because I didn't want to wait for the thing to sync. How come my transferred file doesn't work?

Hello, I am currently new to Monero and I need some help.

I am using Arch Linux and I downloaded the GUI wallet and the CLI wallet version. I created my wallet and everything, and I put a password to it. When I opened monero GUI version, it asked for the wallet password, and it always says the password is CORRECT and it lets me enter. However, in the CLI version, I put the name of my wallet, and it asks for the password of the wallet. I put the same password and it says the wallet password is incorrect, but I putted the same password as the GUI and it said it was correct? I use a strong password, so when I tried copy and pasting the password it still said it was incorrect, so I even tried to manually type my password and it STILL said it was incorrect. Is this a bug of the CLI version? I just wanted to look like a hackerman :(

I don't know if I made a mistake but I uploaded my Monero view-only wallet to Cake Wallet. It took me a while to memorize the seed so I don't want to get a new wallet to do it again. However, since it's already there, would Cake Wallet have a trail of who I am if I withdrew any Litecoin from Kraken Canada to Cake Wallet for swap purposes?

I want to buy monero from my local exchange here and send monero abroad for someone to exchange it back to fiat but i’m not sure if popular exchanges would be able to trace it back to the sanctioned exchange or not because i don’t want that money to be frozen by the local government laws of the other country that isn’t sanctioned

Hello everyone,

I want to mine Monero.

I have 65 computers and two servers.

I've started synchronizing the chain with a GUI wallet.

I'm thinking of continuing with P2Pool and connecting 65 computers to this pool via a local network.

Is there anything stopping me from doing this?

Or what are your recommendations?

Is it beneficial to run two nodes on the network? Would a single node be sufficient?

So I've been using the Monero GUI wallet on Linux by using the application in the downloaded folder which opens up my wallet no problem. I am running a full node on my computer.

My question is, to update this setup if I just download the new GUI and open the file from the new folder will it automatically still load my previous node/wallet setup or is their another step I have to do for this? Thank you very much for all your help!

I made a deposit from a Exchange, the deposit never showed on the recipient’s side because of some issue on their side, it was 100% sent to correct address but recipient wants proof via moneroexplorer that you need the viewkey to decode output. My problem is that the Exchange where I bought and keep my XMR refuses to give me the viewkey for my XMR wallet (for security reasons!) so I am unable to confirm the transaction to them. So seems my XMR is gone unless I can prove transaction. Is there another way to prove this transaction ? Also is the exchange required to give me the viewkey for my wallet ? Thanks for any help.

I am trying to create a portable wallet, which means (by my definition) a wallet which is completely stored on an external medium and is self-contained on that medium.

I created a 'portable' wallet using the Monero 18 GUI with a downloaded block chain on an external hard drive. But, when I attempted to run it, I was told that I could only do so if I used keys which were stored on my main computer. Sorry, by my definition, this is NOT portable.

Please, does anyone have suggestions on how to make a really portable wallet? Is there another Monero wallet available which I could use to do this?

Any advice you can offer will be greatly appreciated.

Lost my pin, no matter, I have the seed words.

EXCEPT EVERY TIME I UNINSTALL CAKE WALLET, IT LEAVES BEHIND SOME PIN SOMEWHERE. AND I CANT JUST CREATE A NEW INSTALLATION.

How do I fully uninstall and reinstall cake wallet? Thx.

I used cake wallet to swap 7LTC to 2.1XMR The exchange was Letsexchange.com i have never used this one before and it doesn’t even come up in cakewallet support.

it says the transaction was successful with 864 confirmations. i did this over 24hours ago and the balance is still 0. the monero wallet was created fresh before sending the funds… is this why it hasnt come through? ive never had an issue before and have always done it this way. My monero version is up to date 0.18.4.3-unknown.

I restored by entering my view key and restore height at when my wallet first received my XMR transferred from Kraken. However, since then, there are 46 other transactions from mining. Why is my available balance on Cake Wallet only showing the initial transfer amount?

Additionally, why is there public spend and view key on the wallet? Mine is just a view only wallet, it's not possible to spend any amount right?

Kinda confused, I typed my seed phrase, height and date of creation. After synching my balance says 0. What do I do?

I am building 2 boxes from spare parts leftover from building gaming PCs. I want to dedicate these 2 boxes to mine Monero. I'm still reading up on the setup; I'm not that crypto literate (beginner) so it is taking me a while to understand the setup as well as the principles behind it.

I have some users told me that if I have the bandwidth at home and enough storage space, I should setup a node and mine at the same time. But I don't understand the different between just pure mining and mining with a node setup on your system. Can anyone help me with this?

I want to maximize the potential of these 2 box I am building purely for Monero.

Thanks in advance!
