I restored from seed on the latest GUI v0.17.1.7 to be a cold wallet in an offline machine. I then generated a view-only wallet from it which I synced in an online machine. My balance is off. All transactions shown are "Received" (green dots). I was able to identify a recent "Send" transaction that is indicated as "Received" (green dot) so I assume the rest of my outputs over a few years (which I am unable to identify) are the same. I shouldn't complain since my balance is a bit more than it should be but I know this is gonna haunt me later down the line. Did I miss a step in setting up this cold/view-only wallet? What gymnastics do I have to do to resolve this issue?


Try exporting the key images from the offline wallet and subsequently importing them in the hot wallet. See (5):

https://github.com/monero-ecosystem/monero-GUI-guide/blob/master/monero-GUI-guide.md#send-monero

Thank you for your assistance.

Importing the cold/offline wallet key images after the view-only/online wallet had synced did not fix my balance issue. I also consequently did "Settings>Wallet>Rescan wallet balance" but this feature did not do anything at all. I even downloaded and synced the blockchain from scratch, just in case the existing one was somehow corrupted but to no avail.

To reiterate, I restored my cold/offline/air-gapped wallet from seed (i.e. from scratch) and created the view-only/online wallet from it. Since the "seed" is the ultimate in terms of crypto backup, I assumed that it would just work without any hitch right off the bat. Did I miss a step in my procedure to restore my cold/view-only wallet setup from scratch?


Furthermore, several seconds after GUI v0.17.1.7 Wallet and Daemon fully sync, it would go back to syncing mode again with "Daemon blocks remaining: 2". Sometimes, it would drop to "1" momentarily then goes back up to "2" again but would never fully sync again from here on.

Please try applying the ban list:

1. Download this file and place it in the same folder as `monerod` / `monero-wallet-gui`: https://gui.xmr.pm/files/block_tor.txt

2. Go to the `Settings` page -> `Node` tab.

3. Enter
Code:
--ban-list block_tor.txt 
in `daemon startup flags` box.

4. Restart the GUI (and daemon).

This worked. Thanks! Do I need to keep these (ban list file and daemon startup flag) in there from here on? If so, does the list need to be updated all the time and/or updates would be incorporated in subsequent releases?



Regarding the cold wallet setup, do you know how to operate the CLI?

With respect to the ban list, you should be able to run v0.17.1.9 without it.

I see that Monero and other privacy coins are being delisted and all. I don't know what's goin on in the crypto sphere against them?

If it does not open the wallet you need and were your funds are, it seems to be useless/wrong  Roll Eyes

Just curious, can you even have 2 of the same words in a row in a seed? Huh

I'd brute-force it, depending on how many XMR were in it. Google is your best friend. Wink

Sorry for the confusion. It is 25 words with (1) word that is repeated. It is the 7th word and 25th word that are the same.


IIRC the last word is a checksum which will allow you to tell if you have entered the words in the correct order.

You may want to look into that.

Correct: https://web.getmonero.org/resources/moneropedia/mnemonicseed.html

"In the official wallet, the mnemonic seed comprises 25 words with the last word being used as a checksum."

I do not think I copied the incorrect password, but even if I did, I know the mnemonic seed is correct. I have all 25 words and verified that they are official words for the GUI. I get a "You're all setup" when I restore from seed, but at the bottom I get "electrum-style word list failed verification." I will see if I can add the photo link... It will not let me in the wallet even though it says I am all set up.

Thank you, I will check it out.

I heard that someone created wrapped Monero on ETH network but I don't know how legit that is?

Is there any dex exchange working for Monero or is someone working on something like this?

You may find you get a better response over at reddit.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/

Some of the guys don't come here as often as they used to.

GL sir.

Thank you. I am in a sidebar message with a Mod from Reddit also. He has also been more than accommodating in trying to help me for a week now.

 Does this link allow me to verify somehow? https://xmr.llcoins.net/addresstests.html

I realize the 25th word is the checksum and there is no way I wrote them down out of order. I literally did it while it was still on the screen word by word.

Out of curiosity, did you then delete the wallet, and reload from that seed before risking coins to it?  Call me paranoid, but IMO that should be SOP.

I do not believe so. I created the wallet, copied the seed, restore height, etc down word for word. I sent the Monero to the address listed. Binance confirmed the transaction. When I tried to get back into the wallet it told me incorrect password. I tried a restore from the .keys file, password, seed with no luck. All I had luck doing was making more pointless wallets with nothing in them.

I even looked inside Ledger Live thinking I may have had that opened and copied an address from there somehow. That also was not the case. I honestly have no clue what happened. I know I copied these password correctly and even if I didn't, I 100% know the seed is right. I can't even get the GUI to take the 25 words. Only 24 words.

I had about an hour fight with my PC to run Monero this week.

The software blocks have got a lot more aggressive and less overridey.

Also excluding files didn't seem to work as well as it used to, virus software feels itself too clever to allow me to run what I want on my own PC.

I think I deleted the BC cos of space but its annoying I cant read the ledger coins unless I reinstall it all.

I can't find it in the documentation, so it must be relatively new. I don't have time to search code today tho. Tongue

Hmmm...
Just found out that the monero cli-wallet has the command
Code:
bruteforce-wallet-keys

Can anybody explain how that works?

I would like to know as well. Asking for a friend... Cheesy
