Recovering Mnemonic (and possibly Generating Mnemonic) Hangs #140

Open ecacryptonaut opened 6 years ago

ecacryptonaut commented 6 years ago

Hard issue to replicate but we're getting reports of the new wallet hanging on Mnemonic Recovery (and possibly with Generating Mnemonic).

The solution we have tried is to completely remove the app by uninstalling it in the Add/Remove settings on Windows, deleting the electra folders, rebooting the system, and then reinstalling the desktop app.

Unfortunately, this fixes it for some but not in all cases. Not sure what the cause is.

I have the same issue Generating mnemonic loads endless.

Jenova7 commented 6 years ago

@steefaan you can use the version 1.0.6 to generate the mnemonic, once in wallet close it and run the 1.1.2. The best way to solved it until a fix ;)

ivangabriele commented 6 years ago

I will somehow try to fix that in the next release by creating a specific binary able to do that in a very more efficient way. That's part of what I'm working on right now.

The QT wallet opened fine. How is something an upgrade if it causes an error in the most basic of application functions? The wallet should open immediately then connect and update itself to the network. It appears to be connecting before it opens and then hangs saying Daemon opening. For hours. As well as the message above.

If only it was this easy @svhill11 ! The wallet has to start the daemon first and read + inject HD wallet private keys and this is where the issues happen. We would not have any issue if the wallet didn't use the actual daemon but it requires to rewrite the entire daemon, which is a very long process.
