hello, I am not a technical person by any means.. I am trying to install this the windows wallet... could anyone help me with what the following means:

2. Edit zero.conf and set strong username/password (it will work even if you skip this option)

3. Start install_conf.bat by clicking on it.

4. Create a Desktop shortcut of ZEROSwingWalletUI.jar

fully understand may come across as a completely newbie but i suppose the key to growth is to also cater to the useless like me!  Grin Grin

I hope you did understand how to install Java?

I don't currently have a windows wallet installed otherwise I'd make it myself but perhaps a guide/video tutorial is a good thing to do. The average windows user is used to double clicking an installer.exe and is not accustomed to running a java application like this. Also, there is no reason why anyone in a sane mind would ever want to skip setting a strong (random) RPC user and pass.

If I am not mistaken, rpc is only for remote control. No RPC pass or u.n. set then daemon uses cookie based auth (local hidden cookie) for access to wallet function. Actually not for access to the built in wallet functions but for external tools such as javascript wallets (swing wallet).

Swing wallet dont need rpc. Rpc left blank prevents remote access. In my opinion sanity results from NOT setting creds for RPC unless you plan to use it.

Since i am 3 posts deep i will edit this one and public direct if anyone is having problems with the wallets on win or whatever and they want to store ZER not on exchange.. always can use built  in wallet its simple "fname-cli getnewaddress" outputs new (t) address for your built in daemon wallet to receive coin. (Replace fname with whatevet they calling cli tool) .. to be sure.its yours "fname-cli dumpprivkey [address_daemon__just_issued]" will give you privkey. Then you know you own the addy.

Easiest and quickest way to results of safe keeping. Tramsmitting them is a bit trickier from command line but with proper guide and explain its a cinch.

If anyone would like a command line guide assembled for publication or personal use just say the word. I can rebrand and publish.

I almost feel i must do some work for zero now if i wish it to be what i wish it to be.. collective mutual abundance for all.

Devs pm me if you need any php or web design  or documentation work, etc. I am a humble genius ; )
