If your balance is on your wallet, it will be displayed by both CLI and GUI  And your point is...? If your balance is on that wallet, if you have the seed or the keys to your wallet then the balance will be on that respective wallet  I don't think you understood the essence of my issue but thanks for your input though.

I restored from seed on the latest GUI v0.17.1.7 to be a cold wallet in an offline machine. I then generated a view-only wallet from it which I synced in an online machine. My balance is off. All transactions shown are "Received" (green dots). I was able to identify a recent "Send" transaction that is indicated as "Received" (green dot) so I assume the rest of my outputs over a few years (which I am unable to identify) are the same. I shouldn't complain since my balance is a bit more than it should be but I know this is gonna haunt me later down the line. Did I miss a step in setting up this cold/view-only wallet? What gymnastics do I have to do to resolve this issue?
Try exporting the key images from the offline wallet and subsequently importing them in the hot wallet. See (5): https://github.com/monero-ecosystem/monero-GUI-guide/blob/master/monero-GUI-guide.md#send-moneroThank you for your assistance. Importing the cold/offline wallet key images after the view-only/online wallet had synced did not fix my balance issue. I also consequently did "Settings>Wallet>Rescan wallet balance" but this feature did not do anything at all. I even downloaded and synced the blockchain from scratch, just in case the existing one was somehow corrupted but to no avail. To reiterate, I restored my cold/offline/air-gapped wallet from seed (i.e. from scratch) and created the view-only/online wallet from it. Since the "seed" is the ultimate in terms of crypto backup, I assumed that it would just work without any hitch right off the bat. Did I miss a step in my procedure to restore my cold/view-only wallet setup from scratch? Furthermore, several seconds after GUI v0.17.1.7 Wallet and Daemon fully sync, it would go back to syncing mode again with "Daemon blocks remaining: 2". Sometimes, it would drop to "1" momentarily then goes back up to "2" again but would never fully sync again from here on.
Please try applying the ban list: 1. Download this file and place it in the same folder as `monerod` / `monero-wallet-gui`: https://gui.xmr.pm/files/block_tor.txt2. Go to the `Settings` page -> `Node` tab. 3. Enter --ban-list block_tor.txt in `daemon startup flags` box. 4. Restart the GUI (and daemon). This worked. Thanks! Do I need to keep these (ban list file and daemon startup flag) in there from here on? If so, does the list need to be updated all the time and/or updates would be incorporated in subsequent releases? Regarding the cold wallet setup, do you know how to operate the CLI? With respect to the ban list, you should be able to run v0.17.1.9 without it. Can my balance issue be fixed via CLI then? Should be, yes. Can you have a look at this guide? https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/2868/is-there-any-way-to-construct-a-transaction-manually

Does still anybody have problems with their passwords for key files? john-the-ripper has a module for cracking monero.keys

Monero Cake wallet is getting more attention, they recently added support for bitcoin and 60,000 people download it! Great work dev team.

I survived through the CLI nightmare...in my own haphazard / unpolished way including moving files around as GUI doesn't have the same default directories as CLI. Perhaps, this could be standardized or made consistent in future releases. Though the wallet balance now appears to be correct, I noticed something odd. The last send transaction which I made a couple of months ago was only for a fraction of a coin but under "Transactions" on GUI, it shows 8-figure coins and change was sent (i.e. 12345678.123456789... coins) to "Unknown recipent" while the transactions before it show correct amounts sent to valid addresses. Do you have any thoughts regarding this irregularity / discrepancy?

Just checked it, the whole environment is based on monero V7  (installed a node a created a wallet) The idea per sé is good, but the staking of a node with 15000 OXEN to get registered as a node an earn approx 22,5% of your stake per year is... BUT --> good to see that the whole environment is getting some drive on it

Dynamic scaleble, fast speed and high privatency of this cryptocoin shows his quality, but whats about mass adoptation of using? Monero is still hard to use with wallets?

I cannot answer your question with a simple yes/no. Monero has become to big and important a crypto player to be viewed that simply. There is no doubt that the official wallet has a somewhat steeper learning curve than most wallets based on the bitcoin-qt design and it's descendants. And monero is a more complex cryptocurrency than most others with for example a view and spend key. But the official wallet can be set up quickly and synced to a remote note for speed, and if you can use a bitcoin wallet you can use this. If you want the most arcane Monero wallet feel then try the CLI. I still use it.  And syncing a full node for Monero is generally a longish process and computationally more complex than Bitcoin. But on the desktop there are wonderful simple light wallets: https://featherwallet.org/ or https://mymonero.com/ - These are super easy to use. And on mobile devices: https://www.monerujo.io/ and https://cakewallet.com/And there are web wallets you can use as well... but I am not going to suggest those because key loggers are plentiful, as are scams. I will let you find those yourself. Overall Monero does not HAVE to be hard to use. As to your question about adoption? monero has pretty much cemented itself as THE currency of the dark net... for better and for worse. It has established itself as a MAJOR player among the transactional cryptocurrencies but it's price does not yet reflect this.

Which wallet are you using, CLI or GUI? CLI can you post the output of the command status of your CLI wallet Should look something like this Refreshed 2296529/2296529, synced, daemon RPC v3.5, SSL
