perhaps you may spending energy in different way and  help me with my NEM wallet under win64 problem in vbox which can's start NCC, NIS is working (booted) but NCC not.
Would appreciate some guide

When checking   state in webbrowser it displays:  NIS_ILLEGAL_STATE_LOADING_CHAIN

Its just my guess and I'm not so good at these tech things, but I think it means your database is corrupt.

If so here is how I would fix it.  First, always make sure you have your private keys backed up, and then secondly your wallet.  Go to C:\Users\%user name%\nem\nis and delete the database in that folder (or you can just delete the whole NIS folder. no big deal).  Then restart and sync a chain from scratch and see if that works.

Thanks for your reply.

In fact I havent backed up any priv keys - I assume you can do it onl;y wehen logged to wallet. I found two files  .adb ad .wlt  in nem directory are one of them my priv keys?

If you are an original stakeholder then you should have a private key since you must have added the account which holds your nem.
If you only bought nem on an exchange and created a new wallet you can let ncc display the private key via the menu command "View Acccount Details" and then click on "Show Account's Private Key".
Another way is to back up your wallet either manually by backing up the 2 files you found in the nem directory or using the menu command "Export Wallet" on the right side menu.
