This guide is open source and maintained by ErCiccione, of the Monero community. If you have suggestions or wish to contribute to the development of this guide, feel free to open Pull Requests or Issues on the GitHub repository where this document is maintained: github.com/monero-ecosystem/monero-GUI-guide.

This document will be localized into several languages. You will find all available translations in the dedicated section on GitHub after the next version (1.6) of this guide will be released.
If you are on Windows:
- Make sure that your antivirus does not block the program.
A miner is included in the Monero GUI software and, as a result, most anti virus software flags the Monero GUI files as malware and subsequently quarantines them. Fortunately, however, there's a fairly trivial work around you can use. That is:
- Create a new directory / folder.
- Open your AV software.
- Add an exception for the newly created directory / folder. Put differently, you have to whitelist the newly created directory / folder.
- Extract the .zip file (in case of Windows) or the .tar.bz2 file (in case of Linux or Mac OS X) to the whitelisted directory / folder.
Note: if you're using Windows and did not install custom anti virus software, Windows Defender is, most likely, acting as active anti virus software.
- The first time you start the wallet you must give permission to
connect to the network via a pop-up. Check the appropriate boxes and
click
Allow access.
Some shortcuts are available to make the user experience with the GUI easier:
On all operating systems:
Press Ctrl to view each page shortcut. Press ctrl+"shortcut" to go
to that page
On Linux/Windows:
ctrl + tab -> go to the next page
ctrl + shift + tab -> go to the previous page
On macOS:
cmd + tab -> go to the next page
cmd + shift + tab -> go to the previous page
Extract the package and click on monero-wallet-gui.
Welcome to Monero GUI Wallet.
(1) Language: Click here to see a list of available languages.
(2) Continue: If you are satisfied with the current language,
continue to the next screen.
You'll see a list of available languages, click on the one of your choice to change it and continue from the welcome screen. Note: You will be able to change the language later by clicking on the flag in the upper-left corner.
(1) Close: Cancel and return to the previous screen.
This page lets you choose the mode that best suits your accessibility
and privacy needs.
Note: Stagenet and Testnnet only supports Advanced mode.
(1) Simple mode: This mode will connect your wallet to a
remote node. Please note that remote nodes may weaken your privacy.
Choose this if you have low privacy requirement, need to quickly
access the Monero network, and only intend to manage small amount of
Monero.
(2) Simple mode (bootstrap): This mode is similar to the previous
one, as it will connect you to a remote node, but will download the
blockchain to your local drive in the background. As soon as you
have a local copy of the entire blockchain, you will be connected to
your local node. It allows you to start using Monero immediately and
have a fallback option if your local blockchain needs to sync new
blocks while offering the privacy benefits of a full node when fully
synced.
(3) Advanced mode: Using this mode will let you run a full node,
which downloads and maintains an entire copy of the blockchain. Your
wallet will not be usable until your local copy of the blockchain is
fully synchronized. Choose this mode if the maximum privacy matters
to you.
(4) Change language: This will let you choose the language from the
startup page (again).
Upon choosing simple mode or bootstrap mode, an acknowledgement page
will be shown, explaining the features, behavior, and privacy
constraints of the mode.
Please carefully read those informations before accepting the
implications of this mode and proceed to the next step.
You must understand the inherent risks of using a remote node for your
privacy, and you should avoid using it with large amounts of money. If
you connect to a malicious remote node, it could track your IP
address, your "restore height" and associated block request data, and
send you inaccurate information to learn more about transactions you
make.
(1) Region: Choose a region to pick up the remote nodes from. The
closer the node is, the better the wallet performance will be.
(2) Acknowledgement: Check This box if you have fully understood
the privacy implications of a remote node and agree to weaken your
privacy by using it.
On this page you can choose how to connect to the wallet and to the network:
(1) Create a new wallet: Start the procedure to make a new wallet.
Choose this option if this is your first time using Monero.
(2) Create new wallet from hardware: Create a new wallet from an
hardware device (like Ledger or Trezor)
(3) Open a wallet from file: Choose this option to select a
pre-existing wallet from your files with the extension .keys.
(4) Restore wallet from keys or mnemonic seed: Click here if you
want to recover a pre-existing wallet using the mnemonic seed or the
keys.
(5) Change wallet mode: Click here to switch between modes and
choose the wallet mode that best fits your needs.
(6) Mainnet: Advanced: Select this from the dropdown list to use
the main Monero network
(7) Testnet: Advanced: Select this from the dropdown list if you
would like to use a development network instead of the main network.
Testnet is designed to let developers test new features that are not
available on Mainnet or Stagenet.
(8) Stagenet: Advanced: Select this from the dropdown list if you
would like to use a network for staging instead of the main network.
Stagenet mimics the features of Mainnet and is designed to let end
users test Monero without the risk of losing funds.
(9) Number of KDF rounds: Advanced: Adjust the number of Key
Derivation Function rounds in order to enhance the overall security
of the generated keys. Any random large number will increase
the security.
Here you can create a new wallet:
(1) Wallet name: Give a name for your wallet (in this example
testname is used).
(2) Mnemonic seed: Write down your mnemonic
seed
and keep it safe. Your seed is the master key of your wallet, you
can use it to recover your funds.
(3) Wallet location: Select the destination folder of the wallet.
Add a strong password to protect your wallet. If you lose your password, then only your mnemonic seed can recover your wallet.
Here you can choose if you are going to run a full node or use a remote one:
(1) Start node in background: Check this box to run a full node and
begin blockchain sync.
(2) Blockchain location (optional): To store the blockchain
somewhere other than default, enter that location here.
(3) Bootstrap node: To use a bootstrap node enter the host and port.
A bootstrap node allows you to use your wallet while you are
downloading the blockchain by connecting to a remote node. For a
list of available remote nodes and info about them, check the About
remote nodes section of this guide.
(4) Connect to a remote node: Check this box if you want to use only
a remote node without downloading the blockchain. You will need to
put the host and port of the remote node after checking the box.
Upon completion of the setup you will be prompted to the settings menu, but first you will see a window like this pop up:
If you want to create a normal wallet using your personal full node, you
don't need to do anything, let the countdown finish, then wait until
your node is fully synced.
If you need some special settings, like setting up a view-only wallet or
adding the blockchain manually, go to Settings.
(1) Wallet name: Give a name for your wallet (in this example
ledger-test is used).
(2) Wallet location: Select the destination folder of the wallet.
(3) Create a new wallet from device: Select this option if this is
the first time you use a hardware wallet.
(4) Restore a wallet from device: Choose this option if you already
had a hardware wallet and want to restore it.
Creation Date or Restore height (optional): Restore only: If
you know the date or block height that your wallet was created at,
you can specify it here so the wallet doesn't have to scan the
entire blockchain looking for your funds. For example, if your first
transaction was included on 2017-07-08 in block 1350000, you
should put the previous day date (e.g. 2017-07-06) or a slightly
lower height (e.g. 1330000) so the wallet will start scanning from
there, saving you some time. More information about restore height
on
StackExchange.
(5) Subaddress lookahead (optional): pregenerate a number of
accounts with a number of subaddresses each.
(6) Device name: Select the hardware wallet you want to use.

don't need to do anything, let the countdown finish, then wait until
your node is fully synced.
If you need some special settings, like setting up a view-only wallet or
adding the blockchain manually, go to Settings.
Restoring from your mnemonic seed is the easiest way to recover your wallet. You need to put the following information:
(1) Wallet name: Give a name for your wallet (in this example
testname is used).
(2) Mnemonic seed: Paste your seed made of 25 (or 24) words.
(3) Creation Date or Restore height (optional): If you know the date
or block height that your wallet was created at, you can specify it
here so the wallet doesn't have to scan the entire blockchain
looking for your funds. For example, if your first transaction was
included on 2017-07-08 in block 1350000, you should put the
previous day date (e.g. 2017-07-06) or a slightly lower
height (e.g. 1330000) so the wallet will start scanning from
there, saving you some time. More information about restore height
on
StackExchange.
(4) Wallet location: Select the destination folder of the wallet.
A detailed guide is available on getmonero.org: 'How to restore your account'
Restoring from keys is quite easy and can be extremely useful, especially if you are moving your wallet from an online service like MyMonero. You need to put the following information:
(1) Wallet name: Give a name for your wallet (in this example
testname is used).
(2) Account address: The address of the wallet you are recovering.
(3) View key: Your private view key (needed to be able to check your
funds).
(4) Spend key: Your private spend key (needed to spend your funds).
(5) Creation Date or Restore height (optional): If you know the date
or block height that your wallet was created at, you can specify it
here so the wallet doesn't have to scan the entire blockchain
looking for your funds. For example, if your first transaction was
included on 2017-07-08 in block 1350000, you should put the
previous day date (e.g. 2017-07-06) or a slightly lower
height (e.g. 1330000) so the wallet will start scanning from
there, saving you some time. More information about restore height
on
StackExchange.
(6) Wallet location: Select the destination folder of the wallet.
When everything is ready click the right arrow and then the Use Monero
button.
A detailed guide is available on getmonero.org: 'Restoring wallet from
keys'
After clicking this option a window will pop up. Navigate to your file
with the extension .keys, select it and click the right arrow.
The Account tab provides tool to handle your different Monero accounts
within your wallet.
(1) Balance All: Let you see the sum of all your accounts balances,
unlocked or not.
(2) Accounts: This is the list of accounts already generated on your
wallet.
(3) Create new account: Click on this button to create a new account
and set its optional label.
You can change the current account by simply clicking on it on the
list.
Each of your accounts are filled with their own informations:
(4) Label: A name or description of the account for convenience.
(5) Address: The account primary address. Note: Primary account
addresses and secondary account addresses have different heading
numbers
(6) Balance: The account total balance. It cumulates the main
address and all subaddresses for this account. Note: Subaddresses
are managend through the Send screen
(7) Set Label: Click on this button to set this account label.
(8) Copy Address: Click on this button to copy this account address
to the clipboard
The Send tab provides tools for creating outgoing transactions.
(1) Amount: This is how much Monero you want to send.
(2) Transaction priority: This is the priority level your
transaction will receive in the pool of transactions waiting to
be confirmed. The more you pay, the higher your transactions
priority for inclusion in a block.
Currently staying with the default or the slow option is likely to
get you into the next block.
(3) Address: This is where you put the Monero address that you are
sending to. Best practice is to copy and paste the address to
prevent errors, accompanied with visually checking that the pasted
address is correct.
(4) Payment ID (optional): The payment ID is an identifier attached
to the transaction you are about to send. Often when sending to an
exchange they will give you a payment ID that you must include here.
This is so they know which incoming transaction is from you.
If you forget to add your payment ID you should still be able to
recover your funds by contacting the party you sent Monero to.
Long payment IDs are being deprecated. It is hidden by default. If
you need to specify a long payment ID, you should enable it first on
the Settings > Layout tab. You should encourage
services to accept payments that need to be identified with unique
subaddresses instead
(5) Description (optional): This is for your record keeping. You can
add some information regarding your transaction for future
reference.
(6) Sweep unmixable: This allows you to get rid of outputs in your
wallet which have strange amounts like 0.000006839355. These are
unmovable without combining them with another output.
Most users will never need to use this feature.
(7) Sign tx file: This button allows you to sign a transaction file
that was created on a view-only wallet.
(8) Export key images: This option will allow you to export your
key images. They are needed to get the true balance of a
view-only wallet.
The Address Book tab lets you save addresses that you frequently
transact with. This is a convenient place to copy addresses from when
creating transactions.
The Receive tab provides tools for generating subaddresses.
(1) Addresses: This is a list of your primary address and
subaddresses.
(2) Create new address: This button allows you to create
new subaddresses. You can create as many as you would like. Learn
more about
subaddresses.
(3) Set Label: Click on this button to set this subaddress label.
(4) QR code: This is a QR code that has your selected address
embedded into it. It can be used as a way to give others your Monero
address by scanning the code.
(5) Save: Click here to save the QR code as a png image.
(6) Copy: Click here to copy the QR code corresponding URL formated
as *monero:
The Merchant view is intending to offer professionals a nice app on
their points of sell. It let you craft payment requests, and monitor
incoming transactions
(1) QR code: This is a QR code that has your selected address, and
optionally the amount, embedded into it. It can be used as a way to
give others your Monero address by scanning the code.
(2) Amount: This is for creating a payment request, enter the amount
of Monero you would like to receive.
(3) Payment URL: This is the URL corresponding to the address and
amount you have chosen. It could be copied by clicking on it and
sent to a customer.
(4) Tracking: If you tick this box, you'll see a list of incoming
transactions.
(5) Incoming transaction: Those are the transaction currently seen
on the blockchain and the transaction pool, with
associated confirmations.
The Transactions tab let you walk through the transactions sent and
received on your account.
(1) Search: Quickly find a transaction using any field to look up
from.
(2) Filters: You can choose to filter out the transaction between
specific dates, block height or amount. This can be useful if your
wallet has tons of transactions.
(3) Transaction list: Here are displayed your transactions on
this account. Each transaction is displayed with it's informations:
Amount, Tx ID, Height, Date, Confrimations, Fee (for
outgoing transactions), and Description Optional.
(4) Details: Clicking here will show you the transaction details:
Tx ID, Address Label, Address, and Payment ID.
(5) Prove transaction: Clicking here will generate a payment proof
in case of a dispute. More details on proving payments can be found
here
For outgoing transaction only
(6) Set description: You can optionally click here to set a
description of your choice to this transaction.
(7) Advanced: Lets you choose in which formate the date should be
displayed (you probably want to leave this option as it is).
The Mining tab provides a one click CPU miner that is embedded into the GUI.
(1) CPU threads: Number of CPU threads to use for mining.
(2) threads auto-configuration: Set automatically the number of
threads either to the recommended number, or to the max number.
(3) Background mining: Check this box to enable experimental
background mining. This should allow you to use your computer
normally while mining.
(4) Start mining: Start the miner.
(5) Stop mining: Stop the miner.
(6) Status: Indicates the mining state and hashrate.
The Prove/check tab provides tools for proving a payment or validating
proof of a payment. This is necessary with Monero because these details
are not available on the blockchain.
This will generate a proof that you made a payment to a certain address. You need to put the following information:
(1) Transaction ID: This is the ID of the payment you are creating
proof for. You can find the transaction details by selecting the
History tab from the left menu.
(2) Address: This is the address you are proving payment to.
(3) Message (optional): This an optional message that will be signed
with the transaction details. If you choose to include a message
then the other party must also include the exact same message in
order to verify your proof.
(4) Generate: Click here once you've entered all the details to
generate your proof.
A detailed guide is available on getmonero.org: 'How to prove payment'
This will verify that a payment was made. You need to put the following information:
(1) Transaction ID: This is the ID of the payment you are attempting
to verify.
(2) Address: This is the receiving address of the payment you are
attempting to verify.
(3) Message (optional): This is the optional message that may have
been included with the proof.
(4) Signature: This is the signature generated to prove payment.
(5) Check: Click here once you've entered all the details to check
that the transaction proof is valid.
This is an advanced tool that can be used to improve the privacy of ring signatures. The outputs used in ring signatures can be adapted to mitigate the privacy loss when using a key-reusing fork or to avoid outputs that could not be spent in this transaction.
(1) Mark as spent filename: This tool will mark outputs that are
known to be spent. After running
monero-blockchain-mark-spent-outputs, import the resulting file to
avoid using these outputs as decoys in constructed ring signatures.
This file is stored in the .shared-ringdb folder by default.
(2) Mark as spent output: This will mark or unmark as spent a chosen
single output. Outputs are represented by 64-character strings. The
outputs added in this field will not be used as decoys in
constructed ring signatures. Unmarked outputs may (but will
not necessarily) by used as decoys.
(3) Key image input: Add the key image that was used on the
key-reusing fork.
(4) Get ring: Press the "Get Ring" button to get the ring members
for the given key image in 3.
(5) Set ring: Press the "Set Ring" button to set the ring members
for a transaction. Copy the ring members from 4 to get those for the
key image, or manually type in your own.
(6) Intent to spend: Select this if you are certain that you will
spend Monero on a key-reusing fork. This will aggressively modify
the input selection algorithm to give you the greatest plausible
deniability.
(7) Possibility to spend: Select this if you may spend Monero on a
key-reusing fork. This will modify the input selection algorithm.
Uncheck this only if you are certain you will not use a key-reusing
fork.
(8) Relative: When selected, the offsets are encoded relative to the
previous, as opposed to absolute (transactions use relative
offsets).
(9) Segregation height: The block height at which the key-reusing
fork splits.
The Sign/verify tab provides tools for signing a message or file with
your private key or verifying the authenticity of a singed message or
file.
(1) Message: This is where you can enter a message to be signed.
(2) Signature: This is where your unique signature will appear once
you click the Sign button. This is linked to your private key and
the message you entered. It will be given as proof along with the
message which was signed.
(3) Verify message: This is where you will put a message that has
been signed.
(4) Address: This is where you will enter the public Monero address
of the signer.
(5) Signature: This is where you will enter the signature you
are verifying. Once all the required information has been entered
click the Verify button. A pop-up will tell you if the signature
is valid.
The Sign/verify tab provides tools for signing a message or file with
your private key or verifying the authenticity of a singed message or
file.
(1) File: This is where you can choose a file to be signed. Click
Browse to navigate the file system.
(2) Signature: This is where your unique signature will appear once
you click the Sign button. This is linked to your private key and
the file you entered. It will be given as proof along with the file
which was signed.
(3) File: This is where you enter the path to a file that has
been signed. Click Browse to navigate the file system.
(4) Address: This is where you will enter the public Monero address
of the signer.
(5) Signature: This is where you will enter the signature you
are verifying. Once all the required information has been entered
click the Verify button. A pop-up will tell you if the signature
is valid.
The Settings tab provides tools for customizing configuration options.
(1) Close this wallet: Click here to safely close the current
wallet
(2) Create a view-only wallet: Click here to generate a view-only
(or audit) wallet, which is capable to see existing outgoing
transactions and all incoming transactions. See this
user-guide
for more information.
(3) Show seed & keys: This button will redirect you to the Seed and
keys tab.
(4) Rescan wallet balance: Click here to rescan the blockchain for
all the transaction. Note: You will lose any information not stored
on the blockchain (this includes destination addresses, tx secret
keys, tx notes, etc.)
(5) Change wallet password: Click here to change your password.
The Interface tab is where you can adjust the settings of the GUI
wallet. The most important options are:
(1) Hide balance: If you are running your wallet in public, you may
want to hide its balance. This can be useful for point of sales
systems.
(2) Enable Payment ID: Long payment IDs are disabled by default.
Click here to enable it. This can be useful for transfers to
exchanges that require a long payment ID such as Binance (at the
time of writing). Using long payment IDs is detrimental to
your privacy. Please ask services that still use this deprecated
feature to use subaddresses instead.
(3) Light theme: Switch to the light theme.
(4) Lock wallet: Set this to automatically lock your wallet after N
minutes of inactivity. This ensures no one is able to use your
wallet while you are away from keyboard.
(5) Enable displaying balance in other currencies: Gives you the
possibility to display your balance also in other currencies. You
can select the price source and the currency you prefer (USD or
EUR).
(1) Start/Stop Local Node: Depending on its current state, either
start or stop the local node.
(2) Blockchain location: Manually enter a non-default path to the
blockchain, or click change to choose a new path.
(3) Startup flags: When using a local node, this will be where you
enter additional command line options.
(4) Bootstrap Address: Enter the hostname or IP address of the
bootstrap remote node. See section Bootstrap
nodes for a brief explanation of what a bootstrap
node is.
(5) Bootstrap Port: Enter the port of the bootstrap remote node.
Use a remote node, do not download the blockchain. Check the 'About remote nodes' section of this guide.
(1) Address: Enter the hostname or IP address of the remote node.
(2) Port: Enter the port of the remote node.
(3) Daemon Username: enter a username in case authentication to the
remote node is required.
(4) Daemon Password: enter a password in case authentication to the
remote node is required.
(5) Trusted Daemon: By default, data requests to remote nodes are
obfuscated, and this process requires more resources. If your remote
node is under your control (i.e. a dedicated server of your own) you
can mark it trusted so that data requests will not be obfuscated
anymore (just like a local node).
(1) Log level: Change the verbosity of the debug logs.
(2) Log categories: Add specific categories to the debug logs.
(3) Daemon log: Real time output of the log.
(4) Command line: Interact with the daemon.
(1) GUI Version: Version of the GUI wallet installed.
(2) Embedded Monero Version: Version of the embedded daemon in use.
(3) Wallet path: Where the wallet is located on your computer.
(4) Wallet creation height: Change the block height that a wallet
rescan will go back to.
(5) Wallet log path: Where the logs for this wallet will be saved.
(6) Wallet mode: Display the wallet mode chosen in the
wizard.
(7) Copy to clipboard: Copy all information to clipboard.
The Seeds & Keys tab displays your wallets mnemonic seed as well as
your secret view key, public view key, secret spend key, and public
spend key.
(1) Mnemonic seed: DO NOT share your mnemonic seed with anyone. Store
a copy securely. The mnemonic seed is a 25 word phrase that
contains all the information needed to view and spend funds. Learn
more about mnemonic
seeds.
(2) Secret view key: Secret view keys allows the holder to view your
wallets incoming transactions, but not outgoing. It is sometimes
useful for auditing purposes to give your secret view key to a third
party.
(3) Public view key: The public view key is used for stealth
address creation. Learn more about view
keys.
(4) Secret spend key: DO NOT share your secret spend key with anyone.
The secret spend key is used to sign transactions and should be
regarded with the same security as your mnemonic seed.
(5) Public spend key: The public spend key is used by the network to
verify the signature of the key image you generate when you make
a transaction. This is what prevents double-spends as the network
enforces the rule that a key image can be spent only once. Learn
more about spend
keys.
(6) Export Spendable Wallet: DO NOT share your spendable wallet QR
code with anyone. This can be used like a mnemonic seed for
recovering your wallet. This creates a qrcode that contains all of
your keys.
(7) Export View Only Wallet: This creates a QR code that contains
only the keys for viewing the transactions that this wallet sends or
receives, but cannot create transactions.
Verify that the files you downloaded match the official ones. You can use this step-by-step guide with pictures (easy, for Windows user).
Remote nodes are useful if you are not able/don't want to download the whole blockchain, but be advised that malicious remote nodes could compromise some privacy. They may track your IP address, track your "restore height" and associated block request data, and send you inaccurate information to learn more about transactions you make. Please make sure to use a node you trust (hopefully your own) and remain aware of these limitations. Users who prioritize privacy should use a full node instead. A number of open nodes are listed at moneroworld.com and node-o-matic
A bootstrap node is a remote node to use whilst also syncing the blockchain. This is different than the remote node setting, since it will only use the specified remote node until the blockchain is fully synced locally. It is a reasonable tradeoff for most people who care about privacy but also want the convenience of an automatic fallback option. Be aware that when using remote nodes (including with the bootstrap setting), nodes may track your IP address, track your "restore height" and associated block request data, and send you inaccurate information to learn more about transactions you make. Please make sure to use a node you trust (hopefully your own) and remain aware of these limitations. Keep the Monero full node software operating on your computer even when you are not using the wallet to reduce the amount of leaked data.

- How do I generate a Ledger Monero wallet with the GUI?
- I am missing (not seeing) a transaction to (in) the GUI (zero balance)
- I am using the GUI and my daemon doesn't start anymore
- Transaction stuck as “pending” in the GUI
- My GUI feels buggy / freezes all the time
- My name contains a special (non-ASCII) character (e.g. é, ø, â, Ö) and I can't create a wallet with the GUI
- The GUI uses all my bandwidth and I can't browse anymore or use another application that requires internet connection
- How do I move the blockchain (data.mdb) to a different directory during (or after) the initial sync without losing the progress?
- How do I change the language of the 25 word mnemonic seed in the GUI or CLI?
- I use a high resolution display and the GUI looks extremely
small
This problem will be fixed soon, but there is a workaround for Windows: right click on monero-wallet-gui.exe, select properties --> compatibility. you'll find a 'high DPI' option, change value there from "Application" to "System" or vice versa
