Anyone who wants to build the Wallet from source code on Windows, because they want to be sure that the pre-compiled binaries have not been tempered with can now follow this guide:
https://github.com/SG-O/DecredJWallet/blob/master/WINDOWS-BUILD.md

 

New version Alpha 7 introduces these changes:
Made compatible with Decred 0.0.6.
Several minor changes have been made internally.

Most of the internal additions that have been committed since the last release have not been enabled in this version as this update has been created primarily to ensure compatibility with the latest binaries. If you are interested in what has changed internally, look through the commit messages.

 

I'm sorry to see that you are having Problems. Could you pleas give me some additional information:

As far as I can see you are running the latest version on Windows is that correct?
Have you installed the Decred binaries manually or automatically (With the GUI)?

What does the error message exactly say?

Try running the Software from the console (with the command java -jar DecredJWallet.jar) and send me the output.

I hope I can help you with your problem.

 

Could you please try it without TLS (Uncheck it in the settings ).

What java version do you use?

Addresses care now handled correctly internally and are now being checked by the GUI.

As I don't own a Mac, updates for it are untested. It would be great to get any feedback from you!

Here are some images made on Linux:

Spoiler: Images

 

Could you please delete the jar file and the 3 Decred executables in its folder . After that download the latest (0.8) version and try it.

 

The RPC username and password will automatically sent to the wallet on startup. No need for any config files (The RPC password is NOT your Wallet encryption password.) Out of the box the username will be the word "local" and the password is the word "none". If you are not sure what this setting does just use these default values, but if you have custom config files, you will have to change these accordingly.

The standard procedure for startup is just starting the jar file. Do not start dcrd.exe or dcrwallet.exe yourself unless you know what you are doing. The Java program will then do the following (I assume you have auto updates enabled):
1. Check for updates
2. Check if the Decred executables exist
3. Check if they are up to date
4. Start dcrd and wait for it to load
5. Start dcrwallet and also wait for it to load
6. Connect to dcrwallet (this is where you have problems)
7. Load wallet information

If you still have the problem could you please do this:
Open cmd.exe
Navigate to the folder containing the DecredJWallet.jar file by entering: cd C:\where\your\files\are\
Then enter the following:

Code:

java -jar DecredJWallet.jar

Wait for the program to fail to load.

Hi, this is not a problem with my wallet, it is a bug in the official decrwallet which my wallet uses as a back end. I also once had this bug while using multiple wallets across multiple PCs using the same seed. To resolve the issue I deleted the wallet and created a new one using the same seed.

To do this you should first make sure that you still have your seed. If you don't DON'T do the following.

Go to your Dcrwallet folder (Windows: %localappdata%\Dcrwallet Linux: ~/.dcrwallet).
Go into the folder that corresponds to the net your wallet is running on.
In the folder rename the "wallet.db" file to "wallet.db.old".
Create a new wallet in dcrwallet using --create. Enter the same key as used in the previous wallet.

I hope this helped.

 

make sure that no other instance is running (look in your task manager). If that won't work try restarting your PC.

 

I have never had such an issue before. Could you please start DecredJWallet.jar from the console (java -jar DecredJWallet.jar) And send me the output?
