Looks like you're on the right chain. You're either connected to a bad peer (i.e. a peer that is on the wrong (alternative) chain) or a peer that's syncing off of you.

I rolled back using monero-blockchain-import --pop_blocks 18000 then resynchronized. Still a couple of problems. Monerod stopped synchronized several times during the process and I had to exit and restart. I've seen that before but never so often.

It's a known issue unfortunately, see:

https://github.com/monero-project/monero/issues/3656

https://github.com/monero-project/monero/issues/3713

When I finally got synchronized all seemed fine but now I suddenly have a new top block candidate several hundred blocks in the future to which I am slowly catching up (1 block/2 minutes as expected). Any ideas? Do I have a bad peer? How do I fix that? Thanks in advance.

That's because your daemon is connected to a bad peer (i.e. a peer that is on the wrong (alternative) chain). The daemon should eventually ban this peer though. Alternatively, you can ban it manually by typing "ban <ip-address>" (without quotation marks) into monerod. In addition, a restart may fix this kind of issue.

Could anyone recommend a good miner for gtx 1080 ti to me?

The balance on the left top shows the combined balance.

The current GUI version also indicates "View Only" on top left. Nice touch. It would also be nice to indicate the current wallet name as some if not many of us do maintain more than one wallet. I think I suggested/requested this feature a couple of versions ago. The dark theme is great; easy on the aging eyes. 

The name of the current wallet is displayed on the Settings page (under Debug info) in GUI v0.12.

Thanks for pointing it out. I had stared at that particular Settings section on a few occasions but obviously oblivious to the wallet name info. Aging eyes indeed.

I solved right now ...
the problem was that the 'GUI' version did not load correctly the Wallet from keys, monerujo and mywallet gave me 0 transactions and 0 balance, I tried the 'CLI' version and I saw the light
sincerely after this negative experience I will stay away from monero wallet as long as they are more user friendly.
thank you

The issue may have been caused by you setting an erroneous restore height:

https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/7581/what-is-the-relevance-of-the-restore-height

It was one of the first things I thought, in monerujo I also tried to restore from block 0.
the strange thing is that windows gui did not even allow me to load the wallet from the keys,

Did you try to restore from the private keys or from the 25 word mnemonic seed?

perhaps there are incompatibilities between the wallet created offline by monero-wallet-generator (the last version I found is October 2017) and the new wallet 0.12.0.0 Lithium Luna.

There shouldn't be any.

I do not have disk space so I'm using a remote node. I try to import my wallet from the mnemonic seed because if I insert the keys in 'monero' gui does not continue. the balance always remains at 0 I tried to create the wallet from block 0 and also from block 1546000, moreover as the receiving address does not give me my original address but a subaddress that does not start with 4, and this address is not accepted by any exchange . with the same seed node settings and block height, windows cli and even monerujo work. I'm probably wrong with something, even creating a new wallet does not generate a usable address, always only sub-addresses that can not be used

Can you check whether the stagenet or testnet box is checked in the wizard (of the GUI)?

For all you guys that are looking at the MoneroV crap here is a step by step video on how to convert one persons Monero to another.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7RXCMAwH_E

Always be careful, you must be sure to be on the official website. in the video the site to which it connects is 'http://monero-v.com' SCAM?
 instead of https://monerov.org.

See what I bolded? That video will in fact show you how to convert one persons Monero (whatever idiot is following those instructions) to another (The scammer that made the video). As far as I am concerned MoneroV is just as big of a scam as the guy who made the video. It is a scam ontop of a scam and I find that amusing. And if anyone follows that video then tough shit, they are too stupid to own Monero.

Hello,

is there a way to show current active wallet address like with "getaccountaddress """ I sadly wasn't able to find it yet.

If you're running monero-wallet-cli you can just use the "address" command, with monero-wallet-rpc you can use the getaddress RPC call.

Ok, to use XMR-STAK I set pool, username and password. Doesn't work. What should I set else? PLEASE!

What will happen next after the hardfork?

That's in 6 months time. Relax.

[Anon136]

What will happen next after the hardfork?

I'm sure there will be more people who try to exploit it and make their own viable fork out of it. However each time these people will be met with less and less success. This is part of the reason why hard forking every six months is such a great idea. It's like an inoculation against more dangerous fork attempts.

[Hueristic]

What will happen next after the hardfork?

Progress as in the same as every scheduled update (HF), I think the next big one will be the implementation of BulletProofs, the last was multisig as well as a slew of other improvements. This project accomplishes more each update than any other that I know of by a huge margin,

[explorer]

What will happen next after the hardfork?

As stated, Bulletproofs, and more of the steady fine tuning that goes on constantly in this project.  Perhaps further POW changes as well.

Perhaps he meant after the forthcoming v-fork..."will happen next after the (v) hardfork" instead of "will happen after the next (xmr) hardfork". But I digress...splitting hairs on semantics.

unfortunately there are many 'stupid' but helping these people to understand how the crypto world works and not to be cheated is the only way that cryptocoins become in common use and not a nerdy thing

I tried both solutions, but always with the result 0, in a few days I will try to install it on another PC. I still solved with the cli version, it was just nicer visually having the gui
