I'm really getting so frustrated - cannot resolve following issue:

  • My wallet is showing the wrong balance

  • I cannot transfer any money ("Daemon is busy")

Seems like I am on the wrong chain, right?

So I tried following this guideline:

I forgot to upgrade (from CLI or GUI v0.11 to CLI or GUI v0.12) and, as a result, accidentally synced to the wrong (alternative) chain

I updated from 12.2 to 12.3 and now I've been waiting for days and theres nothing happening. I am on Macosx High Sierra using the GUI version.

This is what my log says:

[31.07.18 09:01] Height: 1622140/1622140 (100.0%) on mainnet, not mining, net hash 458.90 MH/s, v7, up to date, 0(out)+0(in) connections, uptime 0d 8h 1m 44s [31.07.18 09:02] Height: 1622140/1622140 (100.0%) on mainnet, not mining, net hash 458.90 MH/s, v7, up to date, 0(out)+0(in) connections, uptime 0d 8h 2m 44s

The latest transaction to this wallet happened in block no "1615882" with now "No of confirmations: 12630" - these funds are not showing in my wallet and I cannot transfer the existing funds...

I do not want to delete the whole blockchain and start over from scratch...

Do you have any tips? I really do need the money :( - Thank u

  • Do you vaguely remember when you first made a transaction to this particular wallet? Btw, your Show status output looks OK (i.e. you are on the correct chain).

  • thank you for your reply! ah okay, so I am on the right chain - then that's even more confusing. The first transaction was in block height 1581264, I reduced my wallet creation height to claim my funds.

  • So a second transaction is missing? What is the output of this guide (for the transaction that is missing)? monero.stackexchange.com/questions/6137/…

  • Okay no, the first transactions are all fine and showing up. There seems to be a problem only with the last one (Block height 1615882 as mentioned above). The test gives me "This address owns output 0 with pubkey XXX for amount XXX" Next line "This address doesn't own output with pubkey XXX for amount XXX" and total received: XXX, indicating the correct amount of XMR - so from here everything looks fine

  • Okay now not using GUI: I popped the blocks as described below, resynced for ages - now I have my funds in the wallet-cli! GUI version still not showing right funds although "fully synced" --- that thing is a mess!

Reset to default

You should try to rescan your wallet for spent output with rescan_spent from the cli. It should remove your spent transaction done on the wrong blockchain.

Otherwise you could try to pop the blocks to restart syncing before the transaction:
./monero-blockchain-import --pop-blocks 6500
This will remove the 6500 blocks and when you will restart monerod it will sync again.

Edit: try first option. If it does not help, pop the blocks and scan again.

  • Thank you for your answer! Option 1 did not have any effect (no wonder, since it seems that I am indeed on the right chain).. so I'm trying option two now...
