Thanks for the information!

So i downloaded the newest version of the Qora wallet on another PC. It gave me 2 options. 1. create a new wallet 2. restore from seed. First i went  to restore from seed. I entered my seed but my seed would not fit in the field. My seed is 12 words. then i realized its asking for a seed which base58 encoded 256 bit random key. i dont have a seed like that. Secondly on page to enter the seed it was also asking me for a password which i dont have. so i decided to create a new wallet and try to restore again. But its not letting me create a new account. I suppose because it has to fully sync first. I am waiting for that to complete.

Few questions:

1. Does the the older versions of the wallet accept the 12 word seed? IF so, do you know which verson?
2. Is the password necessary to restore from a seed?


Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!


No the older wallet I mean the one that used java swing gui accepted the base58 encoded random key as seed.
Also when restoring from the seed the password field is asking you to enter the password to secure  your wallet
so that it can save and encrypt the seed in the .dat file.

I mean you can use also your old password for securing your wallet otherwise create a new one and enter into the field.
