Brief Guide: Setting Up Testnet Wallet, Sending, And Receiving Coins - Os Neutral

If you want help with something, state the symptoms of your problem and a log of what may be relevant (in this case, it sounds like the log from dcrwallet may be helpful, but honestly it's impossible to gather even what sort of issue you're having, except that it probably has something to do with Decred.

 

here the log dcrwallet

after i [enter] on step 3

 

Basically, it can't do much of anything because it can't connect to dcrd is what I can gather from that log. Did you start dcrd?

 

I too am having a similar issue after I typed in command: dcrwallet -u myusername-P mypassword--noclienttls --noservertls --walletpass mypublicpassphrase--dcrdusername=myusername --dcrdpassword=mypassword :

Code:

From the other command line:

Any ideas?

 

One. The dcrd wasn't run with --testnet as an argument?

 

I ran using this command: dcrd --testnet --notls -u user -P pass

 

Should I stop it and rerun?

 

Ok. I copied and pasted but maybe I did something wrong. I entered the same user and pass under dcrwallet -u user -P pass
as I did for --dcrdusername=user --dcrdpassword=pass. This is the inital user and pass I setup not the private password. Are these the correct credentials to enter here?

 

Doing it again. I must be putting the incorrect credentials in somewhere.

 

Very helpful, thankyou..

 

Not having any luck. Would I break anything if I started the guide from the beginning?

 

i suggest deleteing the tesnet wallet start afresh, the wallet.dat file is found in appdata\local\dcrwallet\testnet as you will see the air drop isnt in the folder so thats safe

 

Ok, I'll give that a try, can't hurt at this point

 

@Argonaut just put a space between mypassword & --noclienttls in your command. I think that will solve your typo

 

@anondran I need some help after this command :
dcrwallet --dcrdusername=YourUserName --dcrdpassword=YourPassword /noclienttls
in cmd it's starting scanning blocks . how can I proceed further it's taking lot of time

 

sounds like its updating, not sure where you are but every time i open my wallet now its been setup has been with this command :-

dcrwallet -u xxxxx -P xxxxxx --noclienttls --noservertls --walletpass xxxxxxx --dcrdusername=xxxxx --dcrdpassword=xxxxxx

 

That might have been the issue. I was able to get it up and running yesterday however I just started the process from the beginning. If my original syntax had no space then maybe my password included --noclienttls. Good catch
