How do I add old wallet to simple wallet? Thank you ☻
If you had coin on an other wallet before, open your old wallet and send coins to an other address.
To transfer coin, type :
transfer 0 49VrFgi46HdWu9upDevUibfhnRCGrJxJr8pdu9sE9VPeAiWkiLEFPjkCWdQSng8TQJLExrxB8d8FnQG ZJJFv1NXvVV6FF4b 10
write always transfer 0, no need of putting higher numbers
49VrFgi46HdWu9upDevUibfhnRCGrJxJr8pdu9sE9VPeAiWkiLEFPjkCWdQSng8TQJLExrxB8d8FnQG ZJJFv1NXvVV6FF4b is the address I want to send coins
at the end, 10 is the quantity of monero I want to send
I am wondering about the zero. In the white paper it says it is set to min automatically.  So is zero necessary. Also how do you set payment I'd or message. As in thank you with the payments

I am almost sure that it is necessary. I think that I tried without the zero and it didn't work but I could be wrong.


hello and thank you very much for this guide. I have a big prob though, I generate wallet/address, everything but when I open my wallet it says with red letters: error:wallet failed to connect to daemon localhost18081. I got it to sync one time(deleted wallet and started all over though). I hit refresh to sync blockchain but it just wont. Any ideas? ty!

The wallet is generated in the same folder as simplewallet.exe unless you specify it. You must do a backup of the wallet files in case it go corrupted or deleted.

The block chain is not located in that folder. It should be located in :
C:\Users\you\AppData\Roaming\bitmonero (Replace you by the name of the current user on windows)

bitmonerod.exe have to download the whole blockchain otherwise simplewallet.exe cannot see your balance.





problem was I never ran bitmonerod.exe, thank you v much
