20:32:32 <kekful_name> for some reason i cant get a transaction to get verified
20:33:57 <kekful_name> what should a working wallet look like? should the bar below "Synchronizing Wallet" be fully orange?
20:38:51 <kekful_name> this is what im talking about https://0x0.st/ofO8.png
20:38:53 <selsta> kekful_name: yes, both bars have to be full
20:39:24 <kekful_name> so i currently have a non working wallet(client), right?
20:40:00 <selsta> you can either try to click on the two arrow button to connect to a different node
20:40:04 <selsta> or set a custom remote node
20:40:25 <kekful_name> tried the first option quite a couple of times
20:40:54 <kekful_name> what would be a respectable remote node

20:41:05 <selsta> follow the steps in this comment
20:45:34 <kekful_name> thanks, im still on v17 of the wallet tho and as i read on there its only happening on v18 so ill have to wait and see if it works
20:46:56 <selsta> you have to use v0.18
20:47:12 <selsta> the project had a network upgrade
20:47:34 <kekful_name> ohh
20:49:03 <kekful_name> quick question until i set up v18
20:50:55 <kekful_name> if i bought xmr from a local shop, and i gave them my (primary) address, would people that i send xmr to be able to see my primary address?
20:52:43 <selsta> no, the receiver does not see the address from the sender
20:53:43 <kekful_name> thanks, i have the blockchain downloaded on my computer so should i use a remote node or would my own work too?
20:54:59 <selsta> your own would work too
20:57:09 <kekful_name> it looks like its working
20:57:54 <kekful_name> 1 confirmation achieved, thanks a lot selsta appreciate it
21:01:17 <kekful_name> goodbye selsta :)
21:01:39 <selsta> nice
