Monero has yet to arrive in my wallet.

Monero Wallet Works

It's been several days since I sent Monero from Poloniex to the Monero wallet shown.

These are two separate programs that I have assumed need to run simultaneously.

The command line box goes this far and though the cursor blinks, I cannot input anything.

Do I just need to wait or is there something that I'm not doing right?

The number of blocks remaining has changed once while I have made several attempts at restarting both of these programs.

Assume that I am a total newbie when you answer because I haven't hardly got a notion as to what is going on.

The basic facts as I see them:

  1. I sent Monero from Poloniex to my GUI wallet address.

  2. In order for the wallet to function, the daemon needs to be running as it does the work of relaying information from the Internet. However, I do not know whether the daemon is stuck or is working. Its last line states: 'Failed to query m_blocks: MDB_BAD_TXN: Transaction must abort, has a child, or is invalid'.

  3. [See later comment directly above.]

  4. The command line wallet is supposed to work but I am unable to get it to switch to my created wallet as it will not accept the command (./monero-wallet-cli --restore-deterministic-wallet); it says that it is an unknown command.

  5. All I want to do is verify that my Monero is in my wallet and then I will transfer it to Poloniex for storage that will not be as troublesome.

Additional Note: Re: Item #3 (See below). Apparently, the newer GUI (monero-gui-win-x64-v0.10.3.1) does work. So I have that up and running. Well, "running" is relative as nothing ever changes on it. Only when I start it, does the "Blocks Remaining" show a different (and higher) number.

Moneromooo said, "If the GUI is stuck, check the messages (in the settings page IIRC for any errors)...exit the GUI, edit the config file (I think it's somewhere in ~/.config/monero-core or thereabouts), and switch the testnet setting to 0, restart GUI." This is from a week ago, so I can only assume that it is valid for the GUI that I have. However, I do not know how to do a single thing in this quote.

I am using Windows 7 64-bit Professional on an AMD FX-8120 eight-core CPU, 16GB RAM, 120GB SSD dedicated solely to the operating system. Anything that I store, goes on an external 3TB hard drive.

I have found from Steve1943: Add --data-dir "path/to/blockchain" to the launch command. Here is an example for Windows: monerod.exe --data-dir "D:\My Documents\bitmonero"

This addresses the problem of the daemon downloading the blockchain onto the C:\ drive and allows one to download the data elsewhere.

My problem is that I do not know how to access the launch command. Apparently this is something very basic; but I still have no idea as to where to begin.

Good news! I just kept saving and exiting the daemon a few times. Then I happened to check the Wallet GUI and it was not only synchronizing (which it has claiming to do for quite some time), but the "Blocks Remaining" were counting down at a rather fearsome pace. Meanwhile, the daemon keeps repeating at times: Transaction must abort, has a child, or is invalid. I don't dare touch either the daemon or the Wallet. It looks as though I am on my way to receiving my Moneroj... which is a very good thing as the amount is rather sizable. Now I need to look into a cold wallet to get my Moneroj completely off-line. That'll entail another transfer and a fee, which doesn't matter.

Once again, my "Blocks Remaining" has come to a standstill, even though the Wallet GUI says it's synchronizing. And here is the latest from the daemon:

←[0m 2017-07-25 16:44:16.798 [P2P6] INFO global src/cryptonote_protocol/cryptonote_protocol_handler.inl:293 [80.232.241.110:18080 OUT] Sync data returned a new top block candidate: 202154 → 1362286 [Your node is 1160132 blocks <1049 days> behind]

Error messages similar to the above kept coming while my "Blocks Remaining" were counting down as in my last report.

I can only assume that these are not fatal errors, but just temporary.

I have tried restarting the daemon several times and also just left it alone for hours on end.

I would really appreciate a response from someone in-the-know.

I'm having a similar problem. Is it really the case that there is no actual support for the GUI wallet? We're left to post here and get no response, weeks after losing our monero??

@gwendolyn: On another forum, I was advised to use the GUI wallet on Linux; then they would be able to help me. I've gone to the trouble of installing Linux Manjaro in a dual boot on my Windows 7 computer and finally got the GUI wallet to run. However, in less than ten minutes, it stopped counting down. So, I'll be back at the other forums trying to get more help. I just find it hard to believe that Monero is being this difficult to work with; I have bought and transferred nine other crypto-currencies and I encountered zero hang-ups with them. I almost wish that I hadn't begun with Monero in the first place. But I have to get it into my wallet or else I'll never get it.

@DoctorCarlo1955 Have you tried the solution suggested here?

@gwendolyn: I'll give that a try.

![Screen Shot](http://ensignlineargenerator.tripod.com/webonmediacontents/Monero Wallet 11.jpg "Screen Shot") The GUI wallet now says that it is connected but not synchronizing and still 0.00 balance. I got the line-command wallet to load 94717 blocks. But it seems to have stopped doing anything. I attempted to refresh it to no avail. I'm going to restart everything to see what happens.

I have observed that when my daemon displays as in the above picture, it was actively counting-down the "Blocks Remaining" on my GUI Wallet.

Now it still displays as shown with the "Blocks Remaining" standing still, yet still "Synchronizing".

What can I do to get my "Blocks Remaining" to count-down?
