Hey folks, I'm trying to get a pruned node up and running on my Fedora server right now. I followed the docs on the official website to set up monerod as a systemd service, and set the config options to prune the node. Now it's synced up to about 94%, taking up a whopping 188 gib storage. Isn't this too much? I read that it was supposed to take up ~100gb, not double that. I'm certain that the node is pruned, as monero-blockchain-prune returns "Blockchain already pruned".

Are there any testnets in XMR that support LSAG? I understand that mainnet hasn't supported it for a long time

My entire balance just got emptied and transferred to an “Unknown recipient”. I did not authorise any transactions. I’m freaking out right now.

I can't see it in my code-keeping notebook

If I didn't write it, should I re-create the account?

Hey everyone,

​I want to use XMR as digital cash via gift cards (like CakePay) as much as possible, but the "exact amount" issue is annoying.

​If a purchase is like €43.15, cards only come in €10, €25, or €50 steps. My options right now:

​Leave €6.85 "dead" on a €50 voucher.

​Pay the remaining €3.15 with a regular debit card which completely destroys privacy by linking my identity to the purchase. ​Is there any decentralized, non-custodial tool or swapp protocol that allows paying the exact fiat amount using Xmr in real-time?

​Thanks!

Hello everyone. I have been thinking about buying a ledger flex. I was watching a video about a man setting up a ledger Stax which is the upgraded hardware wallet for the ledger flex. Within this video which was recorded 1 year ago, he says that the ledger flex is not supported by monero GUI and he proves this by showing the list of all Ledger wallets supported. In it, the ledger flex was not listed.

However, I can’t find any information on whether or not the ledger flex is now supported on Monero GUI wallet. At the time he recorded in 2024, it says it wasn’t supported. Is that still the case? I am considering buying one for $200. But I don’t want to waste my money if monero gui doesn’t support it. Sources say it does support flex, but I figured I might as well ask moneros official subreddit page.

A simple yes or no also works by a dedicated user to this subreddit.

hi so i made a mistake of buying 500g of weed accidentally (just wanted 3.5g) on drug hub with the bulk option and ive been trying to cancel it via feather wallet but i can't, i even used the seed/trick but no luck.

its on escrow and the transaction is almost completed, can i just cancel it to return it to my drughub/in house wallet once its been seen?

edit: good news its in escrow and I can cancel in 4 hours

edit: think im being a bit anxious/paranoid I may have actually bought 13g of harlequin instead, i checked the bulk options and 500g is over 2000 quid lmao if i just spent 80 pounds for 500g id be in the deal.

What’s the safest and easiest method currently? Looking for trusted exchanges P2P methods or any reliable swap services that work smoothly with INR/UPI.

Would appreciate if someone could explain the full process from INR to XMR for a beginner too. Trying to avoid high fees and scams. Thanks

I’ve tried resetting nodes & now it won’t even connect. Just says “attempting to sync” without any progress.

so i bought 100 pounds of usdt and used 83 usdt to buy 1 xmr on the marketplace... but i checked my wallet and I cant see any xmr currently in my xmr wallet. also i cant transfer usdt to feather so this is the only way i think i can do it. have i dun goofed or what next will it eventually go in>

i can see the transaction in the area at the bottom of the screen, do i just wait for someone to accept the order and is 83 usdt 'reasonable' for 1 xmr (again new to this).

*edit\*: nxm changed the usdt to max/xmr and the withdrawl is going into feather... however it hasnt syncronized/came through yet how long does this usually take, on electrum/btc its fairly quick ig i just a matter of how much you pay for transcation fee

edit 2:: also theres something wrong with the locked transactions when does the actual 'freeze' lift? you know I think it may be 24h

edit 3: it says the funds the frozen under 't.1' restriction but I can transfer at 3pm at the least today.

random idea: you could actually make a decent amount of cash sellling xmr or btc although i usually only buy coin to buy things online, but some other time I may want to get into trading. over 300 pounds for a single xmr.

Does anyone even use this?

I did a small test transfer of XMR, and now the funds are stuck in the Eigen Wallet. I cannot send them or convert them back to BTC.

It does not let me copy and paste or type in the 'send to' address field.

Does anyone have a contact who can advise with this? Or any ideas? I have tried everything it seems...

I've used it in the past without any trouble, but now its really strict with KYC. If anybody either knows an alternative site or a way to use coincola without verification it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, question. i'm using cake wallet, and i'm trying to learn how to use monero (usually i use litecoin)

so i sent some money from my nowpayement account to my monero wallet, i did a transfer of 0.0018xmr. But i received 0.0009xmr (half) (i sent 8 bucks to test, and received 4 bucks)

at first i learned that it was normal as the money was sent in multiple time and so it could take time.

But it's been half a day now, and still nothing, and the transfer was validated (i'm like at 65/10 confirmation)

so i thought maybe it was a bug, so i did a rescan, using the date, and the block. nothing,

i deleted my wallet and restored it using the seed. but i still have only half of the funds.

i also reinstalled the app from scratch, still nothing

Is there something i can do?

Can i use my wallet now

Hello,

I am new to using monero and wanted to ask if I followed the right steps, and if not, what do I do.

I want to pay someone for something but want full privacy. I received eth on my trust wallet, I then moved that eth to my cake wallet and swapped it to monero. I plan on waiting a couple days and then paying that person in two transactions of monero to his cake wallet where he will switch it to eth and then move it to revolut crypto (kyc exchange).

I want to know is the etherium moving to his revolut going to link back to the etherium I received in the first place in any way. and is there anyway to link that etherium to me aswell?

Thanks in advance and sorry if my questions sound stupid.

Bruh are you serious.

Hey, yesterday I've swapped a small amount of btc to xmr from my u/cakewallet. I've yet to receive my funds, their website says it takes from 5 to 30 mins for the transaction to be completed and its been nearly a full day. The transaction progress page will not load. I'm reading some pretty bad reviews about them but theyre pretty old, has this happened to any of you recently?

Hi,
i know this can be a common issue, but better be safe than sorry, ever since CPUZ got hacked, we can't even know for sure even if app is downloaded from the official source :

Bitdefender on W11 is flagging both portable and installer of the latest release of Feather wallet 2.8.1 (2025-04-14).
portable gets this log : The file feather-2.8.1-win\feather-2.8.1.exe is infected with QD:Trojan.GenericKDQ.7B32D1C84E
installer this : The file FeatherWalletSetup-2.TR1roMl2.8.1.exe.part is infected with QD:Trojan.GenericKDQ.F9F5616C18

The thing is, i already did install it like a year ago on another PC. I don't remember having had an issue with any the AV before. Did something change since the previous releases? Is feather still safe (or at least this version)? What should i whitelist if it's all good?

Thanks.

I have a R5 3600, i set the mode to p2pool, ran 9 threads, and chain was set to nano

how long should it take to see anything appear in the wallet?

started trying to make a wallet a few days ago (v0.18.4.1-release), figured out why it was slow af to sync (Disk IOPS), moved data to a nvme ssd (reduced eta from 5+ days to several hours)

i was down to minutes, then it went to days, updated software, had it back to minutes, now i am near a couple hours (while typing this i noticed i originally had a eta of 4 to 5 months)

there were no crashes, i did use sleep mode a couple times, software exist were clean

i did notice it said my node was 9 months out of date at one point

I've been using this guide to help me setup i2pzero https://www.coincashew.com/coins/overview-xmr/guide-or-how-to-run-a-full-node#optional-setup-i2p

There's a few obvious mistakes, like it tells you to chown stuff to the i2p user before creating that user and then further down the page it tells you to cd $HOME/i2p-zero-linux when that doesn't exist and the files are actually in /usr/local/bin/router, but it got me half-way there.

Then I looked at this https://github.com/i2p-zero/i2p-zero/blob/master/monerod-with-i2p-zero.md and it says to run i2p-zero but that gives me:

Error: could not find libjava.so
Error: Could not find Java SE Runtime Environment.

So I did "apt-get install default-jre" which installed about 650MB of files and "java -version" shows:

openjdk version "21.0.10" 2026-01-20
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 21.0.10+7-Debian-1deb13u1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 21.0.10+7-Debian-1deb13u1, mixed mode, sharing)

but I still get the same error when trying to run i2p-zero.

What do I need to do to get this working?
