    If you can test it, that will be great. I don't want to remove anything if it works.

    I think wallet creates all those address at start and getnewaddress adds one more to the pool. I will update guide to use getnewaddress.

    Confirmed.

    Code:
    C:\Users\davec>dcrwallet --create
Enter the private passphrase for your new wallet:
Confirm passphrase:
Do you want to add an additional layer of encryption for public data? (n/no/y/yes) [no]:
Do you have an existing wallet seed you want to use? (n/no/y/yes) [no]:
Your wallet generation seed is:
[redacted]
Hex: [redacted]
IMPORTANT: Keep the seed in a safe place as you
will NOT be able to restore your wallet without it.
Please keep in mind that anyone who has access
to the seed can also restore your wallet thereby
giving them access to all your funds, so it is
imperative that you keep it in a secure location.
Once you have stored the seed in a safe and secure location, enter "OK" to continue: OK
Creating the wallet...
The wallet has been created successfully.

    @whis:

    You have the --notls after the command. It should be before the "getnewaddress".

    EDIT: @sambiohazard

    Guide should be updated accordingly too. The params have to come before the command.

    Doesnt work, is the -u and -p the username and password used in step one?

    I tried also replacing "walletuser" as the username i choose in step one, same for the "walletpass" which i replaced with the password i choose in step 1

    are you sure your wallet is running? do you have 3 command windows open by now? One running daemon, second running your wallet & thrid in which you are entering this command.

    After line #6. I got cursor blinking inside CMD window and it looks like still syncronizing with testnet, I mean in that window I can not type command from line #8. So I opened new CMD and type command line #8. But it not show me my wallet addres, after few seconds I just got normal line, prepared for insertion command. How can I find my wallet address than?
    I follow your tutorial step by step few times and got stucked here.

    Hmm i am not sure what is wrong. Is your wallet synced? My wallet is at block 1950. Maybe @davecgh can help here.

    I restarded over again, in step one 1 changed my username and pass (hope that isnt the issue). Yes i have 1 for deamon, other for wallet and i opened a third window, pasting this dcrctl --testnet -u walletuser -P walletpass --notls --wallet getnewaddress and it says 401 unautorized, then i tried to replace "walletuser" and "walletpass" with the username and password i choose in step one but i get the same 401 unautorized error.

    this is the second window

    I tried the whole tutorial by starting from scratch and everthing worked for me. I didn't try mining but that should work too.

    @MiloIce did you change username and password to what you used to run daemon?

    Hi Guys,
    Has someone an idea why its not possible to me to open the command box?

    Actually it pops up and is closing down (automatical) in less than 0.1 sec

    Your screenshot shows your wallet username is "username" & password is "password". Did you use same in dcrctl command? Also wallet doesnt seem to be connected to daemon. I think you need to sort out your usernames & passwords.
