Okay...I'm being very lazy here as I decided to claim the MoneroV over the last couple of days and have not kept up with the conversation.
How does one import from seed?
I ran help from the cli-wallet and it had "seed" and "encrypted_seed" commands and neither worked. Should I be using some other method other than cli-wallet?
Thanks so much in advance.
Edit --- I ran above seed commands from a brand new empty wallet
Edit 2 --- I'm going to spin up a Windows VM, install official GUI wallet and see how that works. Will give results.
Where did you get the seed from?
If it is a 25 word seed from the standard XMR wallet for PC, you are supposed to run "monerov-wallet-cli --restore-deterministic-wallet" which will ask you which file you want to save the wallet as and eventually ask you for a seed.
If it is a 13 word seed from mymonero.com, you will need to take a different approach. See this quote from an earlier post I made.
Go to Account>Account Details on Mymonero.com and get your keys and address.
Run
monerov-wallet-cli --generate-from-keys yourwalletfile
You will want to replace "yourwalletfile" with the filename you want the wallet to have. Anyway, the CLI wallet will ask you for your address and keys. That should work (theoretically).
