    You help a lot at the whole forum. Thanks.

    OK, with public passphrase on this guide the only command that changes is:

    dcrwallet -u walletuser -P walletpass --dcrdusername=[must be same as in step 1] --dcrdpassword=[must be same as in step1]

    to:

    dcrwallet -u walletuser -P walletpass --walletpass "publicpassphrase" --dcrdusername=[must be same as in step 1] --dcrdpassword=[must be same as in step1]

    Right?

    yes you are right.

    @davecgh can you explain how things will change with dcrutil & dcrrpcclient instead of dcrcli?

    Nothing will change in regards to dcrctl (other than not using the --testnet flag, of course).

    Those repos are just helper packages used throughout the code. For example, dcrwallet makes use of the dcrrpcclient package in order to communicate with dcrd.

    EDIT: I should also note dcrrpclient is extremely useful for 3rd party developers that are wanting to write code that interfaces with dcrwallet/dcrd programmatically since it handles a lot of the "grunt work" so to speak. The documentation in the repo describes that in much more detail.

    hmm i thought those replaced the dcrctl. This is good as guide can be changed easily to work for mainnet.

    Also on Mainnet, if you can please add an optional step to your guide of how to add the airdrop address/seed in our wallet. I think it goes to:

    "4. dcrwallet --create
    • It will now ask if you have existing wallet seed. ....where we'll have to input our 33 words seed from Airdrop."
    Right?

    By the way is there a command to add an existing seed afterwards if we choose no?

    Correct. You'll need to enter the existing seed for mainnet in order to have access to your airdrop coins.

    There is no way to add a seed afterwards. That would be incredibly dangerous because you'd lose the ability to spend any coins for the new seed that got generated when you created the new wallet without specifying one.

    A suggestion was brought up in IRC today that I think is a sound one. It might make things more clear to only use the long options for the parameters. For example, instead of:

    dcrd --testnet -u user -P pass

    Use:

    dcrd --testnet --rpcuser="user" --rpcpass="pass"

    Also, if you noticed, I added the quotes around the value so passwords with spaces and other special characters will work.

    With the new versions of the software about to be released, just remove it.

    And make sure if you specified a port, update it (19109 --> 9109).

    Hi
    Is it necessarily to create passphrase for public data in mainnet ?
