Thank you for your reply dev, unfortunately i don't know how to use a cli windows wallet (tried many times, bugger knows what to do, looked everywhere all that came up was Electronium instructions)... thus why i asked if anyone could point me in the right direction or instructions on how to sync the blockchain/get a receive address to mine and obtain my private keys etc... most of us newbs only ever use QT wallets
