Pay attention when using the command line, read our guides fully at least once before attempting a transaction.
We are working on an easier to use GUI wallet but it is some time away, if unsure, we recommend holding on until its release.

Help please. I am getting this error when trying to import my Factom wallet using the 12-word secret key:
"Error attempting to create wallet - invalid character 'S' looking for beginning of value"
I already double checked with Koinify and verified the phrase is correct
*edit* I get this error on Mac and Windows
When I check my balance on Koinify it is correct, but when I try to import this key, I get this error. I tested with 12 yellows and I got the same Factoid address as in the How-to, but I cannot import my key... WTF This sucks
I am assuming windows.
first, back up your wallet. probably c:\users\\.factom\factoid_wallet_bolt.db
you are probably at c:\users\ when you start a command prompt.
back up that file then install the latest binaries.
run factomd and fct wallet again and see if everything is there. if not, copy your factoid_wallet_bolt.db back in.
I don't think you need to copy your wallet back in, but a backup never hurts. I had this issue after a power outage. it isn't a problem now, but the first version did not like a hard quit.
verify with FACTOM (the user...or company) before following this advice. I am 99.9% sure it is correct, but verify
If you have done nothing with your current wallet, backing it up doesn't matter.
Any time you create a new address back up your wallet file. Not needed at every transaction, just every address you create.
then copy the wallet back to that location.
