Hi, wanted to try this wallet but have some dificultys

I am not shure how to set this up. Using the windows-4.0-amd64 version

do i have to fill out trusted peer or other fields? i sendet 0.004 BTC from kraken sucessfully to the wallet adress (i asume it creates a new wallet at first start up?) but it neverd showed up in the wallet.

Dont know if Resync blockchain dose anything (dont showes anything in the wallet or the cmd) But have a lot of [DEBUG] Received Merkle Block in the log.

Alsow do i only have to backup the seed? Treyed with same other wallets to import the seed but didnt work.

Dont know if this is the right place to ask but woud be greatful for any push in the right direction

Hi @hiddsd The version in the release is currently from before the last hardfork. I'll have to build another release with the most recent code. At the moment I've been only working on it as a library and haven't got to test out the UI since the lastest fork.

Hey @cpacia didn't realize this wasn't updated for the last hardfork. It seems like a good interface. Any chance you plan on updating it?

Also, I sent a small amount to release .3. Does that mean it's not recoverable?

cpacia commented 6 years ago

The current code in the master branch is working after the fork and you can use it if you'd like. Currently working on using this code in OpenBazaar. Don't know how much time I will have to work on the UI.

Does it generate a new wallet by default? I sent to the address that it created when I opened the .3 release for bitcoincash-windows-4.0-amd64. I'm just not sure where the private key is so I'm not sure how to recover even with the master branch.

@cpacia any help would be greatly appreciated...it's not a crazy amount, but I feel pretty stupid that I sent it without checking if the wallet was stable. Can I use a hex explorer to get the private key? Or is it just setup to use a donation address by default? I see the transaction in the UI, but no balance

wendlz commented 6 years ago

I'm not sure I understand how I can use the master branch to recover the BCH. How does it store the wallet keys? Within the exe? I'd be happy to pay you if you don't mind helping. Or is it just lost because the wallet was generated with an old version of the chain?

@cpacia hey I don't need you to solve this for me just if you help point me in the right direction I'll still gladly pay you...I'm technical enough that I should be able to figure it out even if I have to modify some go code. I don't really understand it enough to know if I'm wasting my time though...so would appreciate your thoughts or general direction.

You can get the keys out by using listaddress listkeys or getkey from the terminal.
