Hi everyone!

I've been struggling with syncing my Monero GUI Wallet for quite some time, and I'm honestly running out of ideas. I'm hoping someone here has experienced something similar and can help me figure this out.

Here's my problem:

I'm using Monero GUI Wallet, but I can't get it to fully synchronize, which means I can't see my actual XMR balance or access my funds properly.

I've tried two different approaches:

1. Local daemon:

• I've spent a lot of time downloading and synchronizing the blockchain.
• No matter how long I wait, synchronization never seems to finish completely.
• I keep running into issues that prevent the wallet from becoming fully synchronized.

2. Remote nodes:

• I've also tried using remote nodes instead of running my own daemon.
• Unfortunately, connections keep dropping, synchronization gets interrupted, or other errors occur.
• I still can't get my wallet fully synchronized to see my balance.

What I need help with:

1. Has anyone experienced this issue with Monero GUI Wallet?
2. Is there a reliable way to synchronize my existing wallet without downloading the entire blockchain again?
3. Can I use an already downloaded blockchain and simply rescan it without losing any wallet data?
4. Are there any reliable remote nodes or specific settings you would recommend?
5. Is there another safe way to check my XMR balance if Monero GUI refuses to synchronize?

I'm really frustrated because I just want to access my wallet and see my actual balance.

Any advice, step-by-step instructions, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance to everyone willing to help!

Finally received the Ledger, can’t wait to transfer all my life savings

I have a nano sitting in a drawer from years ago. Setting it up for XMR looks noticeably more annoying than it was for bitcoin.

For someone holding a moderate amount, does the hardware wallet meaningfully improve things here, or is a clean machine with the GUI and a seed written down good enough. I am not defending against a government, more against myself and malware.

Hi,

This post is for recommending any Monero service or any service that is helpful to the Monero ecosystem.

Cheers.

Complete beginner. There is a field expecting something and the default did not connect. What am I meant to enter here and where do I get it.

Tired of bloated setups? I built monero-pay in pure Go. It's a 100% free, open-source, and self-hosted payment gateway. No KYC, no censorship, no third parties.

The hook: It uses a P2P air-gapped architecture. Your frontend runs on a public VPS, but your wallet-rpc and private keys stay completely isolated on your secure intranet.

Single binary, SQLite, Webhooks included.

Before real merchants use this, I need privacy maxis to test the API and find bugs. Please roast my code!

Hello, community members!

I’m new to the crypto space, and as part of my college studies, I’m interested in learning more about Monero.

I’d appreciate it if you could share links to beginner-friendly articles and educational resources.

Also, who would you recommend following on Twitter (X) and YouTube?

Thank you!

Hi,

To all readers using Ledger, consider moving your funds to another wallet while this situation is being investigated.

There are reports of users having their funds drained, including some with older wallets (3 years old wallet never touched). The story seems to be much bigger than Cryptobilis at this point.

I’ve never fully trusted Ledger. Even Ethan mentioned a few months ago the XMR to BTC case where the funds were flagged by Binance. Only true readers will remember that story.

Consider using Trezor or another hardware wallet. Personally I use Electrum on an offline device for Bitcoin.

Please take this notice seriously and do your own research before making any decisions.

What's your guys thought on this. does it make you want to swap and put more into Monero?

With the news of the US seizing Iran's crypto, exactly what crypto are they seizing?

The clearly identified crypto in the recent Iran-related freezes is Tether (USDT), especially USDT held on the TRON network. But the newest $1 billion headline does not disclose exactly which coins are targeted. 

Here’s what is confirmed:

Sources: reporting on Bessent’s announcement and Tether’s own statement. 

TRON is the network carrying those USDT tokens; that does not mean they seized TRON’s native coin, TRX. Tether can freeze its tokens at identified addresses, so “frozen” does not necessarily mean the government has already taken ownership. 

If you’re wondering about Monero, the sources I checked do not identify XMR as part of these actions. The latest $1 billion announcement remains too vague to give a complete coin list.

Hello Guye , Hope everyone is good
On 07/12/2025 , BTC was topping 120-125k , decided to sell all my BTC to XMR (rotating to my fav alt coin)
i did few swap slowly using changenow , all swaps done perfectly no issues from the same BTC address.
in the last swap i raised the amount and did the swap and i was waiting my swap to get completed like the other ones were done fast , then i contacted changenow they asking me for kyc , i did the whole kyc steps and it was showing me succes so im done. i kept contacting changenow every single day about the transection or i get my refund at least and still i get the same copy paste answers from them.

i hope someone from here and this community able to raise my voice and help me to get my money back , its 50% of my whole capital investment.

I was wondering if it is possible to mine monero and to send the mining rewards to a totally anonymous wallet so that not the state nor anybody can know these mined XMR were mined by me. Do you guys know if it is possible ? Seeing people getting kidnapped because of state data leakage scares me a bit.

Avoid storing your funds on Blockchain.com or any custodial wallet that doesn’t give you control over your private keys. This includes Satoshi Wallet (Lightning). By the way, they now support a non-custodial option where you control the keys, but I’d still recommend using Electrum for Bitcoin.

As for Blockchain.com, this is not the first or last complaint I’ve received. People often ask me if there’s a solution after their funds get blocked and they can’t get a response. Just read the reviews.

Somewhere around 150gb last time I looked and it only ever grows. Is a pruned node good enough for normal daily use or do I give something up by doing that. I have a vps with limited disk and I would rather not be buying more storage every year just to keep it alive.

Hi guys, I wonder if there are any of you who have already managed to sell the XMR directly from cake wallet?

Daemon blocks remaining: 0

I'm a total begginer when it comes to Monero, I just installed it.

The Daemon Sync started off with "Daemon blocks remaining: 0" and has remained on that for hours, while still saying "Synchronizing". I restarted the Wallet & Daemon, but nothing changed.

Any advice on how to get the Daemon Synchronized?

There are a few options to swap btc and monero but why are some of them software that you need to download and some of them are online sites only? Which is safer? There is eigenwallet and basicswap that are downloadable softwares in monero's site and there are online sites like fujn and simpleswap? Which one to use and I dont have a hardware wallet but an airgapped pc with a view only online pc? Do I need a third pc to download the swapping software?

Im using an airgapped pc for cold storage and I will be using my storage only for keeping money in it, how do monero gui and feather differ? Which one is better to use? Also why does feather use 16 words for seed, wouldnt using 24 words be safer? I get that its still hard to crack 16 words but 24 is even harder

Just discovered that the wallet has been discontinued, that mymonero.com cannot be accessed anymore ad that I am supposed to recover the wallet with cake wallet, using the 25 word seed. However, my old records have only a 13 word seed. I still have access to the mymonero app on a windows PC, it still shows my balance, but, of course, refuses to send anything. I have not found a way to display the seed from the wallet.

Questions:

- Can I access the seed from the wallet?

- Can I access the seed or someting else to recover the wallet in cake, from the folMyMonero folder in Windows?

Any help appreciated
