Hey guys, about 3 hours ago I swapped ltc to monero on wizard swap (i have done this same transaction successfully many times in the past) from which i sent it to my feather wallet as the reciever. I am 110% sure i entered my address correctly as i have compared the text at least 20 times, but i have yet to receive the monero to my wallet. On blockchain explorer it says the transaction is completed. thanks for any and all help!! ID: 18f0bdc58fa5bbce8027e9f4deee83a37fd0a495ae69d8dc00d4b40acda31598

I am new to monero, I have worked a lot on blockchain systems (mostly decentralised identity based systems),

I would like to create a node and mine on monero, but I want it to be as anonymous as possible, I dont want my ISP to see me connecting to the other nodes, I believe this is possible using tor relays, but I don’t know how to set it up.

Is there an extensive guide on this ? How do I hide my IP address such that my node is not seen by the ISP ? Or is that not possible (btw if it is not possible why are you guys using it ?)

Hello!

My goal is to remove kyc from bitcoin using monero. Would this plan work to remove kyc? What am I missing here?

My plan is to:

1. Split up my kyced bitcoin into small amounts
2. Make multiple swaps to monero using trocador over vpn and tor
3. Move monero into multiple monero gui wallet with monero node
4. Wait 1-2 days
5. Send my monero into several new monero gui wallet also with node
6. Wait 1-2 days
7. Leave small amount of monero in each wallet to avoid UTXOs
8. Swap the rest using multiple different cake wallets back into btc

I plan to also:

Space my swaps out randomly, do them on different days and times

Use tor and vpn and monero node

Use a different IP address with vpn for each transaction

I would appreciate any thoughts on this plan, thanks in advance for your help!

Im using a vpn so not sure if a particular country’s server would provide advantage over another.

Hello, im currently below the age of 18 and would like to get my hands on some crypto I have the money on cashapp I just need someone to buy it for me and send it to a wallet

Minergate

So I mined with minergate for a while and got exactly 10xmr. Unfortunately, I can't get them because they are now defunct.

Anyone know what to do so I can get my coin i mined? This is some BS by minergate.

Hey everybody, I'm hoping I just did something wrong and one of you might spot it. Atomic Monero seems to be reputable from the few posts I saw online.

After starting a transaction on Atomic monero on 11/21, I used Coinbase to send monero. The transaction on Coinbase's end was marked as complete within like, 10 minutes if I remember correctly. However, it was never registered on Atomic Monero.

Is there something wrong that I did here? Hoping I didn't lose $200 :/

Hello, so I saw that many of you recommend Haveno, which seems great. Only issue is that I have to pay a security deposit and since I'm new to Monero, I don't have any. I also live in a country where Kraken has banned XMR trade.

Do any of you have any tricks to how I can get some XMR, when all I have is FIAT?

Thank you!

monero-gui 18.3.4 (Arch)

I get the Couldn't connect to daemon: 127.0.0.1:18081 when I start the daemon from the gui with the option --prune-blockchain.

However

monerod --detach --prune-blockchain

starts fine.

EDIT and FIX: actually --prune-blockchain is part of the default flags in the GUI (therefore there was a redundancy). Where is this indicated?

I’m looking to buy XMR and have so far on the journey downloaded the Monero app. A YouTube vid seems to say I can buy with a credit card XMR; the Monero app appears to having a buying ability…. Am I going down the right route? (The app is on a IOS platform and I have access to ToR). Help appreciated

I tried using kraken but it won’t let me buy any

I’m needing to buy $5 nzd of XMR but I can’t find anywhere to do that

everything has been shut down or not available in the uk i would prefer to u use fiat but if not thats also fine can anyone help please

I'm looking for a way to sell and buy monero and trade p2p. But I would like an headless solution, is Haveno Reto headless?

Hey guys, I know there's that main site for the nodes that are up. Is there any way to find the "better/safer" ones from that list? Or does anyone have any they could recommend?

I read that if you connect to a remote node they could possibly mess with your transaction fees etc., is this true? Also, wouldn't using a VPN be enough for the possibility of IP privacy issue?

I know downloading the entire blockchain is the safest bet but was just wondering about remote nodes..

Thanks in advance!

It's been almost 24 hours since I started an unstoppable swap for BTC -> XMR. I'm using the most recent version (1.0.0-rc.6) and trying the minimum swap. It's the GUI shows it's on the "normal" section with an estimate 10 hours but it's been much longer than that.

How do refund? I'm not seeing any docs on that. I was assuming the GUI would transition to "refund" stage but I'm not so confident now and don't want to babysit this app.

edit: Hit the cancel button, then "Force Stop". It's just hanging on that for 30 minutes.

edit: restarting the app, my BTC was in the wallet. Unfortunate this didn't work, not sure I'll try it again.

Hi. I sent some XMR from Binance to my ledger wallet 2 years ago. I am now trying to access it and am having several issues.

1. My ledger shows "0", despite the address being correct (I have rechecked on Binance to see its accurate).
2. I have downloaded GUI (vers. 0.18.3.4-release (Qt 5.15.13)) and have it in bootstrap mode. I synched the deamon from the correct block height, and its showing as fully synched. (I am currently trying to get it to sync from 0, just in case.
3. Both the ledger and the GUI wallet still show "0".
4. I don't have an Anti Virus but do have a VPN. I don't use TOR or i2p, I am using a MAC with M2 chip.

What else should I be doing or trying?
Can I use my viewing key to see if the funds are on the block chain?
Is it possible that they left Binance and never made it to the address?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Current Version: 0.18.3.4- Fluorine Fermi

Windows Firewall & Virus protection excluded

When I run monero-wallet-gui, it doesn't connect to daemon, so I try running monerod.exe manually.
The cmd black box pops up, then disappears immediately.

(Note that I am not new to using the wallet/running monerod.exe as admin)

I've deleted all previous copies of Monero download folders and re-downloaded, re-excluded firewall/virus detector, restarted computer.

Thank you in advance.

I've been sending XMR from this wallet elsewhere without issue until last night.

Now when I hit send it goes as far as "Fetching decoy outputs" but then nothing.

I've tried again today both with the web version and the desktop version but the same issue persists.

Anyone know what the issue is?

What operating system are you using?: OSX 15.1

Are you using a wallet in conjunction with a Ledger or Trezor device?: No

Do you run AV (AntiVirus) software? No

Are you using Tor or i2p in any way? No

I think I'm permanently locked out of my monero on my Ledger. I have been reading whatever I can find and it looks like I'm out of options, I just want to confirm before I give up. I have a Ledger Nano S. I put monero on it in 2021. But now I can't find how to access it.

I have: the ledger (with pin), the key file on my computer, the date that I funded the wallet.

I do not have: the password to the key file, my 25 word seed phrase.

I'm toast, right? Thanks for your help.

I'm at a loss. I bought XMR around 5 years ago and have used the OSX Monero GUI wallet. I check my balance about 1 every year or 2, just to confirm. This week, I updated my Monero GUI and opened my wallet and it showed 0. I then tried to sync up and got a "cannot connect to Daemon" error on local node. This error has continued.

I then used a remote node (for 6 hours). Everything is fully syncd and I'm still seeing a 0 balance and 0 transactions. I tried the wallet "scan." Nothing.

I then did a full wallet restore from seed and ran the entire remote node block download again. 0

I've never had the daemon error before, so maybe that's the issue? If so, what should I do? As noted, I downloaded all the blocks via a remote node from a date much earlier than my initial XMR buy. At the very least is there an XMR block explorer that I can use to confirm that my coins are showing?

THANKS FOR ANY HELP. (I'm not a coder, so if you are able to respond, please dumb it down. )

Running monerod 0.18.3.4-release.

It is blocking several IP addresses every minute. Is something untoward happening in the network?

EDIT:

Using Linux Mint 22.

No active antivirus. I do a scan with clamav from time to time.

TOR is running on this system, but monerod is not configured to use it.

Hello, i installed Monero Gui easy mod today, but never connected to the daemon. Antivirus is disabled, this is the log i get, at least the first errors :

I purchased the coin in 2018. I downloaded the official wallet Monero(app designed like a coin), I always logged in without any problems by phone. I haven't touched it for about a year now, and now it won't let me in. It is not possible to update the wallet, as it is not available in the App Store. What should I do? If you need to restore your wallet, which application should you download to use from your iPhone? I apologize if this topic has already been raised.

Is there a way to have many hidden wallets in Monero GUI? When I use Trezor Suite with Bitcoin, all the wallets are hidden. It means that if I were a victim of the infamous $5 wrench attack I could give some thug access to 12 wallets while letting the 13th one, the big one, safe. In Monero GUI, however, as soon as I am in I can see each and every wallet and I don't know how / if I can hide them (and couldn't they simply be found again on the computer?!). And if I try to create a new wallet in Monero GUI it is read-only, which seems to be a problem for what I want to do.

So, if Monero is to gain traction at some point you trade with people around you, and people around you know you have some Moneros. How to protect against the $5 wrench attack and set multiple hidden wallets in Monero GUI? I'd like to have some decoy accounts and the real ones should be hidden.

(For some reason I can't add images.)
