Sorry monero noob here. I'm worried I sent coins to an old fork and lost money. Is the latest version of MoneroX safe to use?
I should've tested with a smaller amount but I sent 118 XMR to an address it controls but still don't see it. I assume it is because the blockchain is taking forever to sync. Still only on block 40000 and have been running this for a while now. Something else weird keeps happening. Keeps jumping back to 37921
I think this is the txid even tho it shows way more than 118.

Does this mean we are on block 1049316? This is taking FOREVER to sync. It's so slow. Is there a different way to grab the whole blockchain? The blockchain.bin that I have is already 5.7GB

[1] MoneroX isn't maintained anymore and it's generally advised against using it. Better to use the binaries available on the website, see:
https://getmonero.org/downloads/
[2] I am not sure which version MoneroX uses, but I think it is the version without the database, which takes up a lot of RAM and takes a lot of time to sync. Therefore, I'd advise to download the latest binaries from the site and sync that. There is a linux guide here on how to set it up, for Windows it's pretty similiar:
https://github.com/monero-project/monero-site/blob/master/knowledge-base/user-guides/create_wallet.md
[3] Make sure to backup the .keys file and the mnemonic seed (the words), if you have that you can always restore your wallet or open your wallet with simplewallet (the official wallet).
It's unlikely your funds are lost. I'd advise to first try and sync with the official binaries (bitmonerod.exe (the daemon)). Alternatively, you could try importing the .raw blockchain available on the website, see instructions here:
https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/releases
Under "Updating: Blockchain Conversion"
It shows more than 118 XMR because that is how Monero works.
Thanks for the quick reply. I'm syncing with v0.9.4 right now and will let that run today. It's definitely going faster.
I created a password for my old MoneroX but I have no clue where it placed the wallet.dat
This is why I'm thinking I lost money. I don't see no .keys, they have to be generated somewhere. It created an address for me.
Do you recall your wallet name? If so, just search your computer for it, it must be somewhere. I think MoneroX placed the wallet files in the same directory as MoneroX itself is located. Bear in mind no such thing as wallet.dat exists for Monero. The file you need to look for is
Which operating system are you using btw?
This is why I'm concerned, it never asked to make a name. It just asked to make a password. It wasn't seed words.
I'm running windows 7
goto my computer
double click on your C drive
in the top right, there will be a little field that says "Search Local Disk"
click in there and type
*.keys
and then hit enter
this will find you keys file
Okay cool, I did find something.
account.bin = 39MB
account.bin.address.txt (has the address file I sent to)
account.bin.keys (1kb)
Hopefully I can import that last one in...
After bitmonerod.exe is fully synced* place those files in the same directory simplewallet.exe is in. It should be able to recognize your wallet.
You can check if you are fully synced by entering the following command into the daemon:
"diff" ("status" would also work)
This will give you the blockheight you are on. This blockheight should be equal to the height shown on moneroblocks.info. Bear in mind that you have to use the same password to open the wallet.
sigh...I hope I didn't lose the funds. I think everything is synced so I did what u said and put the files in there. It does show the address that MoneroX created, but it says zero balance. It should say 118 XMR

Sorry for being dense, I'm used to having a GUI.
yikes...
