I creatad a wallet using the generator before syncing. I have since synced with the blockchain and followed the instructions below to restore the wallet. I've been mining since then, yet still have a 0 balance. How do I know I've definitely done it right??
I made a wallet through the site
https://wallet.sumokoin.com/. Set up mining on this wallet, which got on the website, I can now use wallet generated on the site?
This wallet generator will give you a wallet address and all info to restore the wallet (using wallet client tool). Please make sure you backup all info along with the address, especially 26 seed words.
You can use the address to start mining with a pool, but to actually see balance and spend coins you'll need a TRUE wallet.
I've posted above how to start Sumokoin daemon and start a new wallet with binaries:
1. Download and extract binaries to a folder, say, C:/sumokoin-bin
2. Open cmd window, enter the following commands to start sumokoind daemon:
Code:
cd C:/sumokoin-bin
sumokoind
and wait a few minutes until screen message says sth like: You are sync with the network, start wallet now.
2. Open another command window (do not close daemon window), start wallet client:
Code:
cd C:/sumokoin-bin
sumo-wallet-cli
follow step-by-step guide to generate a new wallet, you'll have a new wallet address start with "Sumo...". Remember to write down 26 seed words so that you can recover wallet whenever you want.
To retore the wallet generated at wallet.sumokoin.com, please follow these steps (copied from Monero guide):
- Retrieve your 26 word mnemonic seed that you saved when generate Sumokoin wallet
- Open a command prompt and navigate to the drive and directory that contains
sumo-wallet-cli- At the command prompt type:
sumo-wallet-cli --restore-deterministic-wallet- Once you press enter you will be prompted for a wallet file name. Give your wallet a new name, any name will do
- Press enter again and you will be prompted for the 26 word electrum style mnemonic seed that you retrieved earlier
- Press enter again and you will be prompted for a password. Give your wallet a new and long password
- Press enter again you will be prompted to repeat the password
You will then be prompted with "
Restore from specific blockchain height (optional, default 0):" Default will start the restore process from the beginning of the Sumokoin blockchain. If you don't know the specific blockchain height, just hit enter. (Specifying a specific blockchain height will start the restore process from that specific height. This will save a bit of time in scanning, if you know what starting blockchain height your initial funds were transacted for this specific account.)
After you have entered the 26 word mnemonic seed and have chosen your specific blockchain height,
sumo-wallet-cli will generate the same public address and view key as your generated wallet and begin the refresh process automatically. (Please be patient as the refresh process may take a while.)
