Hello,

I tried to boot up my Monero GUI wallet and it wouldn't connect and kept crashing.  I attempted to use the 25 word mnemonic seed to open it on mymonero.com - however to import all previous transactions I had to pay 1 monero which is too expensive, so the balance is 0 on mymonero.

I then downloaded the latest Monero GUI client which doesn't crash, however just stays "Disconnected".  It displays the correct balance, but I can't send the coins anywhere because it remains disconnected.  It attempts to connect to node.moneroworld.com:18081

Whats the best way to retrieve this wallet so I can get it on a web based wallet?

Thanks

I do..  Could it be that it will take a very long time for the blockchain to update because I haven't logged in for so long?  And thats why it says Disconnected?  If I left it on for 24 hours would the blockchain update and then I can Connect?

Does this error message from the daemon mean anything?

It means you have a very old deamon
. It should be version 5. I would get the latest version of the deamon (see edit 3 below) from https://getmonero.org/downloads/ and make sure the network is fully synchronized. Then run a status on the deamon the output should look like this

Code:
Height: 1317436/1317436 (100.0%) on mainnet, not mining, net hash 69.65 MH/s, v5, up to date, 8(out)+0(in) connections, uptime 5d 3h 23m 29s
.

Edit 1: Please note the higher hashrate and V5.
Edit 2: You may have an old deamon running and the GUI is connecting to the old daemon <--- Not likely

Edit 3: It is likely the deamon is up to date but is syncing very slowly.  So I would suggest to allow it to fully synchronize with the network first before upgrading it.  It is at a very early part of the network in the synchronization process so it thinks it is still in v1. It needs some time.

Concerned that blockchain bloat will lead to centralization? Storing less than 4 GB of data once required the budget of a superpower and a warehouse full of punched cards. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/87/IBM_card_storage.NARA.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punched_card
