couple of times now but no help from anyone which is a shame but i will try again. If my PC crashes, how do i restore my wallet? I have used a seed phrase to get into my wallet. I have downloaded the wallet onto a new computer (laptop)- where can i import my original wallet?
When you create a new wallet it will as k you if you want to create new or restore. Choose restore and import your seed phrase
I do not see that option
Or, are you saying i should create a new wallet and it then asks me if i want to create or Restore?
There is no area where i can create a new wallet? Under FILE, it only has import spending key, import viewing key, show seed phrase, rescan and exit
I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do, you can only have one wallet on any one machine. If you don't have a seed from your old wallet import your keys.
in my current wallet, i have a seed phrase that i enter.
All i am trying to do is to ensure that i can open my wallet on another PC just in case my current computer where to break down.
As long as you have the seed phrase or keys you can import them into a new wallet
oh, one question before i try that please: my secret extended key starts with main1qw. Is this just correct or does every secret extended key start with the letters (such as qw)?
and my only options are to "Import Spending Key" and "Import Viewing Key" but only have secret extended key?
spending key is the secret extended key
ok great and what about my other question in regards to the format of that key starting with main1qw?
already answered, yes that is correct
sorry i must have missed that. so main1qw is correct, thanks
well, after all of that typing (and i double checked) it told me my key was invalid. I am concerned over here
I also just opened my wallet on my usual PC and asked it to show me my seed phrase but, because i encrypted my wallet with a phrase, it is now telling me this: Bip39 is not enabled for this wallet. Bip39 can only be enabled by creating a new wallet.
I did that. I was having the same problem.. Right now it's syncing all the blocks. I'm almost about done. Took about 24 hours
