Does anyone know how to recover the simplewallet from the mnemonic phrase? I've read a few vague explanations of how its done but none of them were specific enough. Someone said open simplewallet with --restore-deterministic-wallet. How? I've tried everything I can think of and none of it takes me to a screen that asks for the mnemonic phrase. I'm stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The system in question is running Ubuntu. Also, where is the blockchain.bin file stored on a Linux OS? I'd like to jump-start it with a bootstrap but I can't find where it stores the blockchain.bin file. Remember, this is Linux not Windows. Thanks in advance for any help.

Go to the folder where simplewallet is and type:
Code:
./simplewallet --restore-deterministic-wallet
Then follow the instructions.

Blockchain is stored in your home directory in .aeon folder by default (folders starting with . are hidden folders, in case you weren't aware).

Thank you so much. You just made this so much easier. You're a cryptogod among mere mortals.
