I am a monero noob, please help. I could not send funds from my MyMonero wallet, so as everyone suggested I imported the keys in the Monero GUI wallet. Problem is, it shows a 0 balance. When I tried sending to this wallet it did in fact increase the balance but my old balance has disappeared.

I tried running a local node, which kept failing and saying "incorrect version" after a few hours, which makes no sense because I downloaded the full package zip. So I tried using a remote node on Moneroworld. When I look at the daemon logs though, it is constantly spamming different IP addresses - "new top block candidate - xxx days behind".

I have no idea what is happening. Can someone offer clarity? I can send and receive now, but my old balance is missing. Am I out of sync or something? I thought remote nodes should be able to pickup my proper balance immediately.

As a side note, when I log back in to view my MyMonero wallet, all the transaction amounts are incredibly weird and wrong.

What probably happened is that you hit a bug which skips early scanning, but skips too much.

If this is indeed the reason, you can fix it by doing this:

  • exit the GUI
  • rename the wallet cache, eg adding ".old" [1]
  • restart the GUI, and wait for the cache to be rebuilt

[1] The wallet cache is one of three files created by the wallet. Assuming you named your wallet "XYZ", then the files would be XYZ.keys (important, back this up and keep it secret), XYZ (that's the cache we're talking about here), and XYZ.address.txt (your public address). So in this example, you'd rename XYZ to XYZ.old. Those wallets are in ~/Monero/Accounts (if you're on Windows, just search the disk for XYZ.keys to find it).
