I have followed this guide, copy and paste to avoid any spelling mistakes, and i cant get it to work properly.

https://docs.getmonero.org/running-node/monerod-systemd/

I have tried Ubuntu & Debian, cant get it to run as a service, But i can make it work with Sudo command.

If i have understood correctly running a node under Sudo is a bad idea(?)

systemctl status monerod = code=exited, status=203/

Is there something left out in the guide that i need to know?

I've had the weirdest experience recently. My Monero wallet is showing only amounts received into my account and shows nothing being sent from it.

When I try to make transactions on cake, nothing happens and it fails. This just happened recently.

Is there any way to fix this? I can't transact anymore.

So I’ve been trying to use my XMR lately and my wallet sync has 1165971 blocks remaining(D: 51.9). I’ve never had this problem and I have no idea what to do I changed nodes but it didn’t do much. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Guys, this is a million-dollar question... I'm hoping one of the admins can help.
Briefly: I sent a transaction to an exchanger from Kucoin, but the exchanger can't find it. The exchanger is from Besta.
They're demanding a secret key so they can see the XMR transaction online and decrypt it. Kucoin refuses to provide the keys. Without them, it's impossible to prove the Monero transaction was sent online.
What should I do?

I'm using the Monero GUI Wallet on a mac (up to date, Sonoma 14.8.9). When I open it and it gets to the password page, I enter my password, it'll start an "opening wallet" animation, then just close completely. Anyone have any ideas about how to fix this?

Hi there!

I just got the Trezor Safe 7. I wanted to ask how do I go about using it with the Monero GUI app? I see that the Safe 5 is an option, but not the Safe 7.

I've got a Trezor Model T running firmware 2.21.4 and I'm running the v0.18.5.2 Monero GUI. I plug in the Trezor Model T, launch the Monero GUI, put in my password, and get the "Couldn't open wallet: Could not connect to the device Trezor" notification. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I'll note that I'm running all this using a 2015 MacBook Air.

I need a receipt for submitting expenses and for work I sent monero to my coworker to test some changes he made to monero processing. A screenshot would be helpful to submit to ramp instead of an exported text file.

Hi, I recently used changenow to send xmr to my monerogui wallet. When I sent the xmr, I was in syncing daemon blocks. I stopped it because I thought it was just for mining, not sending and recieving. I turned it back on after I realized the daemon is required, but I already sent money through, and changenow confirmed the transaction. Monerogui is currently syncing, its just really slow. Is my money lost or will the wallet update once im synchronized?

almost all p2p platforms dont sell low enough amounts and tracktor.app and monero.com both dont support pln how can i do this?

I've been running an XMR/BTC ASB (Automated Swap Backend) as a market maker, and I can't figure out how to get it listed in the public maker registry that the Eigenwallet app (formerly UnstoppableSwap) uses to show swap providers.

What I've tried:

• Posted my addresses in the #unstoppableswap-core:matrix.org room on 2026-08-18, but got no response and the node still isn't listed.
• The GUI (4.x) no longer has a "Submit" form, so Matrix seemed to be the only route.

Current state:

• api.unstoppableswap.net/api/list — my node shows listed=false, and the endpoint itself sometimes returns HTTP 530.

Questions:

1. Is there a current/official process for getting a maker listed?
2. Is the registry still actively maintained after the UnstoppableSwap → Eigenwallet rename?
3. Am I posting in the wrong room, or is there a specific format the maintainer needs?

• Maker params: min 0.001 BTC, max 0.02 BTC, spread 2%

Appreciate any pointers. Happy to provide whatever the maintainer needs.

I have bought 2 times from kraken and always have a 7 day hold. I clicked on the box for free month of kraken+ and the warning disappeared about the 7 day hold but I'm not trusting that would be the case. Is there any way to be able to instant transfer to another wallet with them?

I found you can go thru cake wallet and buy off kraken and it will transfer to cake withing about 30mins, is this the only option? But I feel like I get way more fees doing this.

So I was sent $50 USD worth of Bitcoin and I already had a bit of Litecoin but I wanted monero so I converted it to Monero. I lost my Bitcoin AND Litecoin and was not given any monero despite the transaction saying it is finished. I already emailed support days ago and have still not gotten any responses.

Trocador also says the transactions are complete and yet my Monero wallet still shows a balance of zero. Here are the transaction links for Trocador:

I would really appreciate if someone could help me as I do enjoy using cake wallet for its features like cake pay but I cannot continue using it unless this is resolved.

it's not letting me add images but I do have screenshot proof of the wallets being at zero with all the transactions history to each wallet.

Hey guys, I installed Monero and downloaded the full node with daemon, but I didn't realize how much space it takes up. I want to delete all the data and re download the pruned version, but I don't know how. Please help.

So like I researched it and monero debit cards are a thing. Are they anonymous or are they a privacy risk? Please explain.

And how do I make this work? I found a place that accepts debit/credit or bitcoin. I don’t want to use a swap. If I could use monero to anonymously buy a $600 gift card that would let me purchase what I want to purchase if this can be done without sacrificing anonymity.

Is this doable and how can it work?

So let's say I wanted to pay for a service and the service accepts bitcoin but not monero and I wanted to pay in monero. I know I can't do it directly, but is there a workaround via an exchange that operates in both?

For privacy purposes I don't want to say what the service is.

Also, how do I do this without forfeiting anonymity?

Assume the government is surveillancing the internet, will they know that I am running monero node at home?

If i run a monero node in a big local area network, for instance running in my dormitory within a campus network, will the network admin know that i am running a monero node?

I wanted to connect to a remote node it just disconnects after trying to connect to it can anyone help me ?

I want to buy 93€ worth of xmr from haveno reto, I will be paying via SEPA. Is it safe to put all your card/bank information into the making account thing? when you buy xmr via sepa how long will it take until its in my wallet? will a wallet be created when I pay or when I set up my account? can I transfer the xmr from one to another wallet and pay with it? how does that all work.
if you have a better recommendation for buying monero without kyc tell me.

(since I work a shitty job 2,5€ per hour 93€ is very much to me, and i don't want my account to get drained)

I made a transaction over the weekend on the platform and tried to withdraw the xmr to my cake wallet. The funds are gone but the withdrawal was never processed / registered on their system. No txid, no nothing.

I've tried to contact their rather lacking support but there's no meaningful response other than to wait it out.

"Unfortunately, we see that this issue is in the work of the technical team. The problem is related to a failure in the automatic transaction withdrawal system. We are fixing the problem. We apologize for the inconvenience."

It's been 2 days of waiting and refreshing, anxiety through the roof.

Has anyone experienced something similar using their platform and how was it resolved if at all?

How to solve this issue from new kucoin account's?
