I opened the gui wallet after a month of not using it. It started syncing for a day but then just stopped. It says it is connected and syncing but stays at the same last block. I have restarted it several times but it stays the same. I'm not sure what to do. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!! Don

  • Which specific block are you stuck at? It might be that you are using an outdated version. Are you using GUI beta 2?

  • Do I extract the files that come up? What extraction path? Sorry I'm not sure how to do this properly.

    Which OS are you using? You can download the latest version from here: getmonero.org/downloads Extraction path can simply be a directory of your liking, as long as it does not contain spaces.

I'm very new at this, but I think that particular block was the fork. This means you have to be running the newest Monero software, and the first version will not sync past that point. (I'm having a similar problem, with a different block.)

  • You are correct. This is a couple dozen blocks after the fork, so this is a leftover chain maintained by a few miners which didn't update. Syncing the chain to the latest block requires monero 0.11.

Update your Monero Gui (0.11.0.0 currently at this time). Sometimes it will show Synchronizing and sometimes Connected: but don't worry, it's just finding some blocks on the available networks.

  • @DonCromarty Can you send me your daemon log ( It's in the monero gui application folder > file name: monero-wallet-gui.log ) < and the bitmonero log located @ ( C:\ProgramData\bitmonero\bitmonero.log or D:\ProgramData\bitmonero\bitmonero.log ). ARCHIVE it, name it ThisIsFileAxB2Q and PUT the password GammaTangoFoxtrotWunTousandAitZeero and SEND it to the facebook = link .
