    Hi davecgh, thanks for this one of most demanding submission!
    Last couple of days lots of speculation were on going here about creating Wallet and importing of airdrop reward. Now it's over. I'm thinking of someone (namely_Help) who was asking me to send my airdrop seed for verifying were i given the reward or not!

    how to open an existing web wallet? I every time you create a new, and now I have about a dozen purses, and only one of them with my balance. In addition, when you create a wallet wallet I enter only the name, click create and it opens all by my wallets. He does not ask any seed of any public key. So it should be?

    I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, but if you want to remove additional wallets you created, you can go to Preferences (Предпочтения) ->Advanced (Подробнее) -> Delete Wallet (Удалить кошелёк).

    Hey everyone, just successfully imported airdrop reward in to my Web wallet. It was super simple. Thanks a lot to @davecgh for outstanding guide_https://forum.decred.org/threads/gu...-coins-with-wallet-decred-org.643/#post-10036

    Anyway, i also have same queries_ is there any needs of using a password for my wallet to sending DRC? Or if i use then what are the advantages? Otherwise, how can i open my web Wallet on different computers or anythings else? There is no username or password systems! Now What?

    Thanks

    I am getting a message that my seed says "invalid wallet seed". I am sure I did things right. I used the DOS, created the seed, it generated a address and a hex. But now my seed says "invalid wallet seed". I tried the first time and to create wallet, and it appeared o do something, it flashed and flashed but never stopped flashing, now it says "invalid wallet seed". Please help.

    Keep the seed and wait until things are fixed. Your seed is fine or it has a typo maybe which can be fixed once you check words against the word list. Don't worry.

    And please don't send the same message on three different threads. This is spamming and not allowed anywhere.

    can I delete my decred.org wallet and start over again from the beginning? I only started the process
    of creating the decred.org wallet according to this guide, stopped before even choosing a name, went to bed, and the browser was shut down when the computer rebooted itself overnight.

    zero balance when I scan, because I barely started creating the wallet and stopped


    Problem is I can't get back to the 'agree' button and 'welcome to decred wallet ' splash screen etc.
    to start over again. I looked into my cookies to see if there were cookies I could delete to start over again, but there is no
    cookie from 'wallet.decred.org' to delete, so nix that idea.
    so please , can anyone help out, please let me know if there is a way to start over and do this properly. Can I delete the wallet
    and start over?

    under wallet information it says:
    only Main (not change) addresses are shown. The addresses on this list were not verified locally at this time.

    If you don't see a balance on the main screen then I have a question for you: Do you see any balance for known addresses in the wallet in the preferences-> wallet info? The part that lists the addresses. If yes then look at this thread to see if it solves your problems.

    To answer your question about deleting your wallet, If you have the words seed or the hex version of the seed you should be able to re-create the wallet.
    As for where the data you're looking for is located, it's located in the local storage instead of in cookies.

    in the grey 'Balance By Address' box there is no entry field showing at all, just the blank grey box

    above that it says
    'only Main (not change) addresses are shown. The addresses on this list were not verified locally at this time.'


    I am a bit worried about deleting the wallet until double sure.
    I do have the 33 word seed copied to my computer, so that is no problem

    can anyone else verify that it is safe to delete the wallet and start over?
