10:56:08 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> Hello ! From one day to the next, it is impossible to synchronize with my GUI. A whole night has not been enough, whereas the days before it took only seconds. So, I'm trying remote mote, without effect. It is so slow that I quit. Moreover, I've installed MyMonero, and though my credit is more thatn 0.22 XMR, this app say : 0.00 !
10:57:59 <m-relay> <p​olar9669:matrix.org> Try feather wallet
10:58:16 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> where is it ?
10:58:38 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> I've never heard of it
10:59:28 <m-relay> <p​olar9669:matrix.org> https://featherwallet.org
10:59:29 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/irFRdJYELcAGpIbiAVyqGSxk
11:03:58 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> It requires windows 10
11:04:07 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> I have windows 7
11:04:44 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> Anyway, how com the GUI doe'snt't work suddently ?
11:10:40 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> I've finally connected with a distant node, by adding the proper height. Now that it is synchronize, my 0.22 XMR has changed to 0.0 ! How is it possible that I've been stolen those XMR ??
11:11:33 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> Incredible, imagine I had a million dollars…
11:12:08 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> How could my account been hijacked ??
11:27:37 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> clearly, the Monero system is not safe
11:36:01 <m-relay> <1​23bob123:matrix.org> Operator error
11:36:30 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> What do you mean preceisely ?
11:39:49 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> Do you mean the error is mine ?
11:40:24 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> I had 0.22 XMR, made an operation to receive from another account, then…
11:40:51 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> If I request to received, how could I loose what I had ?
12:06:19 <selsta> what does it say in your transaction history?
12:06:30 <selsta> does it show you receiving and then sending the 0.22 XMR?
12:06:36 <selsta> if not, you have the wrong restore height set
12:47:58 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> Strangely, there's no transaction history "yet". See the sceen capture :
12:48:02 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/geODCSrTHBGEMOQjXnYIizHZ
12:48:12 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> I really don't understand
12:49:07 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> Look, this other screen capture taken at noon before I connected with a remote mode, shows 0.22 XMR
12:49:23 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/eYzEwBILhNEKUlqEayOdDJgs
12:49:38 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> So what ? I can't get it
12:50:24 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> my wallet restore height is 3081052 : what is specified for this distant node
12:51:00 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> Moreover, at this point my wallet should be 0.36 XMR
12:52:35 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/gmbixulwVveFEubWNKbHxupA
12:54:05 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> Actually, I set it wrong, as it is 3081050. But I've chaned it and still : virgin account
12:54:52 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> And why Can't I connect with my local node anymore, anyway? From one day to the next, this issue occurred.
12:55:16 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> Actually, I set it wrong, as it is 3081050. But I've changed it and still : virgin account
12:55:31 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> And why can't I connect with my local node anymore, anyway? From one day to the next, this issue occurred.
13:34:22 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> Any idea of how to fix this issue ?
14:02:30 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/GkDtLsSdVlKOTJpjJAGAfkIR
14:02:42 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> Am I at the right place here for this trouble? If not, please indicate where to go. I can't stay without a satisfying answer. See the screen capture below, I'm not new to this GUI :
14:11:17 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> Obviously, someone in the support team must have the possibility to access my log and check out the transaction.
14:11:38 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> If, not, I forget about Monero, ans will go back to BTC
14:12:49 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> I just can't swallow loosing 0.36 XMR in thin air
14:17:53 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> And again, I've checked my account on MyMonero, and it is the same : 0 XMR. This demonstrates that the issue is definitely not at my local level.
14:19:36 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> hey, copying some questions i posted in the 'support group'... may be better suited to this GUI group:
14:19:36 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> finally got around to finish my wallet set up.
14:19:37 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> i've started up the GUI, and am in advanced mode (will be using my own local pruned node, stored on an external SSD), and am restoring from 25 word seed i have saved.
14:19:37 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> when i try and enter in the location for my local node (on my ext ssd), it shows the ssd, all it's contents, but not the '.bitmonero' folder... seems cus it's '.' bit, and maybe the GUI see this as a hidden file?
14:19:38 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> but AFAICS, all the local nodes will be stored in a '.bitmonero' folder, but possibly in the home folder...
14:19:38 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> i assume i'm not the only one that's come across this.
14:19:39 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> ... i'm just looking in the 'permissions' of this '.bitmonero' folder on my ssd, and seems the owner has permission to create/delete files.. but group and other have permission 'none'.. .
14:19:39 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> wonder if this could be stopping the GUI from accessing it?
14:19:40 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> keen to not do the whole process again til have a potential option, as will need to insert my 25 seed words and do whole process, before i get to the locate local node part..
14:19:40 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> i guess is no real harm to give folder access as 'create and delete files' to these other options anyway... i suspect that could be blocking me. any pointers appreciated.
14:22:29 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> Thank you. Can you provide the link of the 'support group' ?
14:24:00 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> https://matrix.to/#/#monero-support:monero.social
14:24:29 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> Thanks a lot !
14:32:25 <selsta> metawill: no transaction history means you have either the wrong restore height
14:32:30 <selsta> or you are connected to a bad node
14:32:38 <selsta> and your wallet didn't sync properly
14:32:43 <selsta> your funds are not lost
14:33:24 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> I hope so. You mean the distant node may be wrong ?
14:33:45 <selsta> do you know when you first received funds into this wallet approximately?
14:34:05 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> years ago
14:34:14 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> I'm not new to this business
14:35:08 <selsta> ok, when you first received funds years ago and you set your restore height to 3081050 it means it will skip all old transactions
14:35:12 <selsta> that's your mistake
14:35:37 <selsta> your have to set the restore height to a block that was before you first received funds
14:36:06 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> How to do this?
14:36:12 <selsta> 3081050 was today, so it means it will skip all transactions older than today
14:36:28 <selsta> Settings -> Info, then check restore height and click on change
14:36:48 <selsta> do you know the year when you first received funds approximately?
14:37:12 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> Maybe 2021
14:37:33 <selsta> mycellium: do you have any issues with your node?
14:37:50 <selsta> ok, click on (Change) next to Wallet restore height and enter 2020-01-01
14:37:56 <selsta> then let it sync, this will take a while
14:38:06 <selsta> you have to enter it exactly as i wrote ot
14:38:07 <selsta> it
14:38:12 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> As I said, I was on local node a couple of days ago. Then, impossible to synch
14:38:31 <selsta> what do you mean with impossible to sync?
14:39:02 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> When I try on local mode, it takes forever and don't connect
14:39:31 <selsta> forever to start the node?
14:39:50 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> never succeed

14:40:43 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> like this
14:41:00 <selsta> metawill: just let it sync your wallet and wait
14:41:19 <selsta> oh
14:41:54 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> not that i'm aware of.. i just downloaded the blockchain last week onto my ssd, and haven't done anything else. just started wallet restoration yesterday. 
14:41:54 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> my node will obviously be a week behind the chain tip.
14:42:19 <selsta> metawill: the last screenshot you shared, is this how it looks right now? or how it looked previously? can you make a screenshot from right now?
14:43:14 <selsta> mycelium: if you don't have issues then i wouldn't worry about this permission thing
14:44:21 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> ok... so u expect that's why the GUI isn't able to access the folder? i'm curious to enable it and see if the folder shows up when selected..
14:44:33 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> ok... so u DON'T expect that's why the GUI isn't able to access the folder? i'm curious to enable it and see if the folder shows up when selected..
14:44:50 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/gMNMFmJkodbmNDBIlkCDRioz
14:44:51 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> Now, my screen is :
14:45:07 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> ok... so u don't expect that's why the GUI isn't able to access the folder? i'm curious to enable it and see if the folder shows up when selected..
14:47:19 <selsta> metawill: you can make a screenshot from everything? the bottom is cut off
14:48:19 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/kqVucEHVyIqmfNyGtFDazUqt
14:48:48 <selsta> ok, do you know how to connect to a remote node?
14:49:33 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/SlZqRiecnKjWKdjQkMWWglWR
14:49:46 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> I did it earlier, now I retry
14:51:01 <selsta> ok looks good, now let it sync up
14:51:49 <selsta> mycellium: i don't know currently, folders starting with . are hidden so maybe that's why. as long as you don't have issues don't worry about it
14:53:54 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> Still working. A bit long for a distant node, no? Anyway I was connected to this node at the first screen capture. Now that I va changed restore height from 3080050 to 1980628 it doesn't work either
14:54:19 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/PWyEYPLmsZeQRoNHulcgbqFf
14:55:12 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> I put again the 3080050 to see if it works
14:55:27 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> But anyway, it showed 0 XMR so…
14:56:11 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> So, I still can't retrieve ùu 0.22 XMR
14:56:36 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> So much trouble with this GUI
14:56:58 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> Nothing works as it should
14:57:36 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> How come MyMonero also shows 0.0 XMR and no transaction history??
14:57:59 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> The issue is obviously deeper
14:58:05 <selsta> why do you put in 3080050? like i said it's wrong
14:58:17 <selsta> it will skip all transactions
14:58:23 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> It is what is specified for this distant node
14:58:28 <selsta> no
14:58:36 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> Since I've changed as you said, it dosn't connect anymore
14:58:42 <selsta> you seem to fundamentally misunderstand something
14:58:55 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> Really?
14:58:57 <selsta> yes
14:59:09 <selsta> you don't have to change the restore height to whatever the node is on
14:59:16 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> So what, How do I fix this ?
14:59:29 <selsta> you have to change it to before you first receive a transaction
15:00:27 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> Again, many transactions have been made those last two weeks, and suddenly nothing works, yet I did not toujch anything
15:00:33 <selsta> go to Settings -> Info, click on "(Change)" next to wallet restore height and enter 2020-01-01
15:00:38 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> From one day to the next : over
15:01:14 <selsta> just follow my steps
15:01:28 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> Ok, I've just done that. Let's see, but a moment ago, it didn't connect. Let's see this time
15:01:48 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> It is synched but the remaining blocks are charging
15:01:53 <selsta> yes
15:01:56 <selsta> just let it sync
15:02:06 <selsta> can take an hour
15:02:10 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> OK
15:02:18 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> Even for a distant node?
15:02:53 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> Ok, I wait
15:04:46 <selsta> once it's finished it should show up a transaction history
15:05:20 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> Ok, I'll be back with a screen capture once it is fully connected, thank you for your help
17:02:31 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> ok. it's not that i have or haven't got issues with the node, it's just i can't set up my wallet, connecting it to my node, without selecting a location for it.. IYKWIM? 
17:02:31 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> i'm still just going through the wallet restoration phase using GUI, and i need to select where my node is located and whether to 'prune blockchain' (the box to tick, i also wondered if i need to reselect that, seeing as my node is pruned, using the --pruned cmd running monerod.
17:03:11 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/YkeaeAvblOhBxAorILdeLksk
17:04:12 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> ... i just randomly chose the 'documents' folder, so as not to share contents of my ssd..
17:43:14 <selsta> mycellium: why not leave it blank if it was previously in the default location?
17:43:46 <selsta> or did you set a custom location before?
19:18:50 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> Hi ! three hours later, it is still digging, but makes some funds come up
19:19:18 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> ScreenShot001.jpg
19:20:05 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> Hopefully, at the end of the process, the 0.36 XMR shall be back
19:23:26 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> Yet, I still don't understand why all of a sudden, the local node connection failed after hours, whereas the day before, it connected in seconds
19:39:59 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> ok. i could try that, leaving it blank and see if the GUI can pick it up, when i have my ssd plugged. 
19:40:00 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> the default location was my home folder > i installed node up to about 50gb > ran out of space on home > did final 20gb after transferring initial 50gb to my ssd. 
19:40:00 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> all with monerod, pruned node.. 
19:40:01 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> so, not sure it will pick up the ssd.. 
19:40:01 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> but can try and see.
20:01:28 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> 0.158 now, still digging up the XMR
20:01:35 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> image.png
20:08:39 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> Done! My 0.3640 XMR are back ! Thank you very much for your help.
20:08:44 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> image.png
20:12:04 <m-relay> <m​etawill:matrix.org> But I still don't understand why all of a sudden, the local node connection failed after hours of trials, whereas the day before, it connected in seconds
20:36:16 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> the thing is, wallet wasn't even set up yet.. so just set it up now. got help from SNeedlewoods, appreciate it bud. 
20:36:17 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> feels good to have the node running.. is a big deal for me.. been wanting to run a bitcoin node for quite some time.. funny that monero got the nod before btc. 
20:36:17 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> will sync it completely when on router tomorrow i hope.. and uncover my txs i imagine.. 
20:36:18 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> thanks again for all the support relay team.. (just learned what this relay is... was surprised and impressed).. 
20:36:18 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> was a little confused tbh, by all the <selsta> etc.. no idea what that was.. makes sense now. 
20:36:19 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> great work devs. 
20:36:19 <m-relay> <m​ycellium:matrix.org> hopefully things will be smooth sailing from here.. but likely you'll hear from at some point.

21:22:01 <ofrnxmr> Haha
