Hi

Some time back i downloaded sia wallet had a look at it and remove it again. Now i have bought some siacoin and want them in the wallet, but it ask for password that i dont have because i didn't have any use of it at that time. How do i fix this?

There is always a long password generated when you create your wallet, hopefully you have saved it somewhere.. have you ?

No i did not save it. Just had a look at it, to see how the wallet was. thought i could downloade it and open a new one, one's i decided  to buy siacoin. So is there a way i can make it forget my computer? Or can i use another computer to get a password and use that on my own?

If you didnt save the passphrase at the start of opening the wallet then there is no way to access those funds.

I dont have any funds there. I just download it that time to have a look at it. now i want to use it and send coin in to it. so there is no way i can open a new one on my computer?

There should be an option to generate password/backup the wallet once youre inside. Do you see those options?

I cant find where to generate new password or wallet.

Go to the UI Terminal and type this command: "wallet init --force". That will destroy your current wallet and create a new one, providing you a recovery seed. Alternatively you can just delete the old wallet folder. In Windows is located on c:/users?you_user/appdata/roaming/Sia-UI/sia/wallet On MacOS on $HOME/Library/Application Support/Sia-UI/sia/wallet


I read this new:

24- December SC 1.3.1 release
         1.3.1 General Availability (public release) is expected next week.


I would love to know where those websites get their info from (pro tip: the fabricate it). We are very close to that version release, but  the developing never announces it for a specific date, they just release it as soon as it is ready. It can happen today, tomorrow or in one week, but that version is almost ready. Beta-testers have been testing the RC4 version these last days successfully
