I'm not the most tech savvy guy, but I can get around if instructed properly. I downloaded the GUI wallet and when I start the Daemon, it reflects as being connected. However, when I look in the log, there is a recurring error that says "failed to connect to seed peers, continuing without seeds".

It's been two days since I sent the transaction to my wallet, and it still isn't showing up. I even tried connecting to a remote node, which did seem to sync the blockchain, but my funds still aren't showing up. When I'm connected to the remote node, I still get the "failed to connect..." error.

I've confirmed that the address is correct. Can someone help me?

You need two things:

  • a synced daemon ("status" in monerod should show 100%; using a remote daemon should normally be fine)
  • a refreshed wallet (it'll scan the blockchain monerod downloaded/verified in order to check whether any changes in your account occured)

The seed connection error is only fatal on the first connection. If it manages to connect once to a seed, it'll learn of other peers on the Monero network, and then be able to connect to them. If this is your first connection, then a seed is needed to bootstrap. Check you have internet connectivity on the VM/machine running monerod, and check port 18080 is usable (sometimes firewalls block ports which aren't known to be needed default).
