[XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency

[gelius]

Hi, why dont can view balance and history transaction?

Not enough information in this support request aimed at a forum of users.

Biggest question -> What wallet?

Assuming you are using the "official" wallet, I would guess you just need to let it finish syncing.

v0.17.2.2 gui
v0.15.0.1 cli
linux
remote node
finish syncing

[gelius]

in monero-gui-linux-x64-v0.17.2.3 no remote node.
this wallet balance, but dont visible.

[gelius]

Dont can run feather now,, `GLIBC_2.25' not found.
Month ago this wallet monero-gui-v0.17.2.2 fine.

[gelius]

yes, in repository older glib.
next version monero-gui remote node can?
in tab transactions dont visible.
this old wallet, with balance and many transactions.

[gelius]

fine, why v0.17.2.3 no have remote node tab?
when reliz v0.17.2.3, old wallet broken.

[gelius]

This screen linux monero-gui-v0.17.2.3.AppImage

If you are mining Monero you should switch to p2pool or some other mining pool and help get Monero more decentralized.
Most hashrate is concentrated in minexmr even if other pools have lower fee.

 Hello
out of stupidity have the 20 out of the 25 words of my seed, last 5 words are missing, is there any way to recover this wallet??

[Hueristic]

Hi All,

We are shocked and saddened by the loss of one of our top devs who passed away on Saturday after fighting COVID for over 2 weeks. He implemented so many great features in Cake Wallet while working with us for over 2 years.

He will be missed massively as not only a great developer, but also being a really good man, father, and husband. He is leaving behind his wife and a very young daughter.

Please don't let this get into a political or vaxx/anti-vaxx thread. Please just honor him.

EDIT: Removed the donation bit. Thanks to all that donated.

Thank you.

Trial and error for the rest 5 words. Of course you are gonna need a script for that. Cheers.

cAPSLOCK said it already: It's necessary to know how your wallet was created (version of it) and start from there. I'm not sure right of the bat if BTCrecover can look for Monero seed words. Let me check and I'll let you know. Cheers.

Do you know the order of what you have?  Is it the last 5 missing?  Or are you just 5 short?

The rest are in order only Last five missing

That's good.  The last one is a checksum.  So that limits your permutations slightly.  Your brute force script could be able to calculate the checksum, or at worst just cycle through all 24 other words as it is also always one of those.

A good CPU will be able to work out the four missing words in a matter of days, I would think.  But I am no expert on this subject.  Your bottleneck will be checking the address balance.  Thats the rub with Monero and could make it ,uch slower.  Perhaps someone smarter than me can weigh in.

I had one more thought.

Do you have the primary account (address) for this wallet?  If you do you are in luck.  Your script can just calculate the main address and check that against the known address.

I believe the Monero mnemonic dictionary contains 1625 words.  That means the set your missing words are in is this size:

1625*1625*1625*1625*24 = 167,349,609,375,000 possible combinations. 

That is a HUGE NUMBER and would take a mountain full of monks a long time to get through.  But it's only a number in the TRILLIONS (I mean we can even pronounce that one).  So it will take a computer much less time.  But to brute force that many keys would require (I would think) you to have the original address so you do not have to scan the blockchain to know if that address as coins associated with it.

Some tools for you:
The Monero Mnemonic dictionary: https://github.com/monero-project/monero/blob/master/src/mnemonics/english.h
Coinomi BIP39 (+ Monero) tool: https://coinomi.github.io/tools/bip39/
A monero only address generator: https://xmr.llcoins.net/

There is one other possible caveat I just thought of.  If you wallet is VERY old it might have used another system to calculate the hash etc.  I think the original non deterministic version of monero addresses used lots of rounds of keccak or something to scramble things.  So knowing which version of address it was would be useful. (well, necessary)

I suppose it comes down to how much value was in that wallet, and how much effort (or money) are you willing to spend to crack it...

Obviously finding the old wallet files on a computer and remembering the password would be WAY MORE EASY than any of the above.

OK.  I was in the middle of ragequitting the monero community when you caught my attention, damnit.  So I am going to get back to that now.  Good luck!

I just check and BTCrecover doesn't manage Monero wallets. A script is a piece of code to do a "simple" task; like, in your case, to try every combination of the seed words until the right one is reached.

Cheers!.

 Need to restore wallet because got XMR balance in it

Lost the phone that's why I try to recover the wallet...

Reason I don't have the full seed is I guess cake didn't show the full seed on screen when i put it on paper so I did not write all the words down and did not count the words and that's why last 5 missing
and yes I have the wallet address

what would be your recommendation ??

Anyone knows what is this FMFW exchange supporting Monero having one of the biggest trading volume from all exchanges?
You can find it on coingecko website: https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/monero#markets

Apparently its Bitcoin.com exchange rebranded.

https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/prve3r/bitcoincom_exchange_is_becoming_fmfwio/


Considering hitBTC is second on that list and it is definitely a SCAM Exchange I would be pretty Leary of that FMFW and certainly would not trust any of those volume numbers.

[passivist]

I got a KYC demand by email suddenly, so I recommend not to use hitBTC. You never know, if a criminal gang is behind an exchange, so better stay save with anonymity.
