    When I created a new wallet i used:

    dcrd -u xxxxx -P xxxxxxx

    to download the blockchain. but when i use the same command to try and open my wallet i get this:

    The system cannot find the file specified.
    02:55:31 2016-04-25 [INF] DCRD: Version 0.0.1-beta
    02:55:31 2016-04-25 [INF] DCRD: Loading block database from 'C:\Users\kano\AppDa
    ta\Local\Dcrd\data\mainnet\blocks_leveldb'
    02:55:31 2016-04-25 [INF] BCDB: Address index synced and loaded to height 14866
    02:55:31 2016-04-25 [INF] DCRD: Block database loaded with block height 14866
    02:55:31 2016-04-25 [INF] DCRD: Block ticket database initialized empty
    02:55:31 2016-04-25 [INF] DCRD: Db non-empty, resyncing ticket DB

    I'm very VERY new to decred but i'm mining it with claymore's dual miner and i want to keep all of my dcr and stake it. (which also seems complicated but i'll read through the guide)

    thank you

    First thing -
    The dcrd command is not for the wallet. It is for the daemon.

    Second -
    U r on version 0.0.1 but current version is v0.1.0 (11th update)
    download here -

    Thank you!

    I've created the wallet before and so on. the problem was when i tried to open daemon to sync the blockchain. i tought i was doing something wrong but i wasnt... just had to wait.

    I will download the lastest version, however! thank you for your help :)
