I downloaded MoneroGUI yesterday to move XMR to cold storage. It's the first time I take XMR off an exchange.I did not make any configuration changes to MoneroGUI aside from creating a new wallet address secured by my hardware wallet & a password.The Monero wallet address matched on the exchange, the hardware wallet, and MoneroGUI. Monero network was used for the transfer.Transaction was a success according to the exchange, but MoneroGUI hasn't shown a pending transaction (or any other type of transaction for that matter) since yesterday.So I went to XMRchain to the "decode output" section to see what might be happening. I put the primary wallet address (which is what I used when transferring out of the exchange) and the "secret view key".Then it shows me this under "Outputs"00, a string of letters and numbers, the amount I transferred, and "true"00, a string of letters and numbers, a question mark, and "false"Sum XMR from matched outputs (i.e., incoming XMR), followed by the amount I transferred.What does this mean? Is my transaction still being confirmed on the Monero network? Did my transfer arrive already?After looking for answers in older Reddit posts, I thought it might have to do with MoneroGUI not showing the latest data.But it seems MoneroGUI needs to download blocks each time I open it and this takes a very long time to do so, even if I am using it in simple mode with a remote node. The daemon is already synced though. I have clicked on the "switch node" button many times and reopened MoneroGUI because I thought it was stuck, but it is still downloading the blocks.I'm now trying Feather Wallet, but it also needs a very long time to download the blocks.What am I doing wrong? Did I make a mistake while transferring? Is there a simpler way to see my balance?
