I have a problem with the GUI used with Ledger Nano S.
I have XMR in two different Ledger Nano S, I have created two different wallet file (the .keys file).
My daemon is synchronized. When I open the GUI with one Ledger and its associated .keys file, everything is OK.
But when I open the GUI with the second Ledger and its associated .keys file,  there is a problem.

First, under "Network Status" it is written Synchronizing.
The lower progess bar indicates Daemon is synchronized.
The higher progress indicates Wallet blocks remaining 1740270 and it scans for all the blocks.

It lasts several hours and then, when the scanning of the whole blockchain is finished, it starts again...
This time under "Network Status" it is written Connected. But the scanning for the 1.7M blocks starts again and my balance is not showing, only "waiting for blocks". So basically this is a endless process and I cannot access my fund.


Did you set a restore height for the second Ledger Monero wallet? If not, please generate a new set of Ledger Monero wallet files for the second Ledger device with a proper restore height. You can use this guide for assistance:

OK now I haved setted a restore height and it solves this problem. But now I have a new problem with the GUI password.

With the first Ledger Nano S, the GUI password works fine and I can log in. But with the second Ledger, I cannot open the GUI, instead I have the error message: Couldn't open wallet: invalid password

I am sure I enter the exact same password than with my first Ledger. So why the GUI password is working with one device and not the other?

Which version of the GUI are you using? You can check on the Settings page of the GUI.

When I invoke  monero-wallet-cli to order a transfer is there a way to avoid pass the password to it without using a "--password" command-line argument?

[1] You mean some kind of config file for monero-wallet-cli right? If so, you can create a config file and add the --config-file path/to/config/file flag upon launching monero-wallet-cli. 

Thank you!

As for my second question I'm not sure of its very nature, it may be a bug report, or me neglecting something, or ...

Here it is, more clearly stated:
I use the cli wallet on Linux in a shellscript to directly make a transfer.

For example this script can invoke "./monero-wallet-cli --password=X --wallet-file=AFILENAME transfer important 11 SOMEADRESS SOME AMOUNT."

It nearly always works, but sometimes the cli wallet isn't able to make the requested transfer. The error message is then, for example, "Error: Not enough money in unlocked balance" or "Error: daemon is busy. Please try again later."

I understand the reasons, and I would like to let my shell script detect this "error". In order to do so it checks the exit code, in the "$?" pseudo-variable.

My problem is that 0 this pseudo-variable always contains 0, which means "no error".

Is it possible for the cli wallet program to exit with an adequate exit code? Ideally there would be a distinct code for each major type of error.

Do you have any suggestions for improvements then (with respect to displaying the wallet name of the currently loaded wallet)?

To facilitate bean-counting I manage 2 wallets.  As the GUI doesn't always show the name of the currently loaded  wallet, before any operation I have to navigate around in order to know which wallet is loaded.

My suggestion is to have the GUI display the wallet name in the upper-right zone, where it now displays a line containing the Monero logo then "Monero", and on the next line the "Balance" label.  Instead of "Balance" it may display "Balance in X" where X  would be the wallet name (or as much characters of the beginning of the wallet filename that can be displayed there, given the current window-size restrictions).

Thank you!

Or maybe a label you can give it a friendlier name then

According to

https://miningpoolstats.stream/monero

XMR Network hash rate = 392.28 MH/s, while sum on all the pools = 319.24 MH/s.

The Totally Unknown hash rate is 18.6%, typical value before was 5-10%. In last weeks Totally Unknown hash rate keeps growing... ASICs?!


Probably those hybrid fpga cards finally have a bitstream for us.

I wouldn't draw any inferences from such little variance in hashrate.

When using the GUI wallet with the Ledger Nano, what happened if we delete the .keys files?

Please see my response here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/aahg2r/a_security_question_about_using_ledger_with_gui/ecsmblb/

Thus, in case you delete the Ledger Monero wallet files, you ought to regenerate / recreate them.

Hopefully it's sufficiently clear now.
It is, thank you dEBRUYNE for the answer. Thank you 7jaja7 as well.

And what about the GUI's 25 words mnemonic seed? If we lose those 25 words and delete the GUI from the computer, what are the consequences for the XMR whose private keys are in the Ledger Nano S?

If you use the GUI in conjunction with a Ledger device, the 24 word Ledger mnemonic seed (provided upon initializing the Ledger device) is your XMR seed. In addition, please see:

https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/10598/how-do-i-restore-recreate-my-ledger-monero-wallet
So that's mean the GUI's 25 words are not important?

Well, if you use Ledger in conjunction with the official GUI, there is no 25 word standard XMR seed. The wallet is generated with your 24 word Ledger mnemonic seed.

Hopefully it's sufficiently clear now.

Just wanted to make it known that coinmarketcap.com site sends users to monero.cc which redirects currently to getmonero.org when clicking the website link for the monero landing page if it wasn't already known.

Just an update the the coinmarketcap.com website now links directly to getmonero.org and I wanted to thank all that participated in messaging coinmarketcap about this potential issue, hopefully it was more than the one person that I know messaged them. If not that's okay also.

Happy New Years! Cheesy
