Can't load wallet

@kurttasche If it's showing a different address you don't have the pass phrase correct - no other possibility.

@Alongzz Are talking abut the wallet itself or the db file that is downloading?

@Alongzz You're downloading the full blockchain from scratch. To get a jumpstart on the process download the DB from db.burst-team.us and extract it into your burst_db folder. It's a snapshot of the blockchain from within the last 24 hours, so it completes syncing very quickly.

Alongzz

somehow been trying this one ur giving..but always end up crash when almost finish downloading

Castiel

@Alongzz why not use online wallet ?? You going for pool mining ... Right ??

socalguy

I tried downloading the db using the link and it worked. Try a different browser maybe? Browsers are soo picky these days. xD

As @Castiel said, why not use the online wallet?

@haitch I'm pretty sure I've got the passphrase correct. I have it copied and it worked fine at first, but I"ll double check. . For awhile it was showing my original balance at the bottom of the screen in Burst Client, but would show a new wallet with zero balance in the main window. Must be something I'm missing.

Castiel

@kurttasche Visit Online Wallet https://wallet.burst-team.us:8128/index.html
Enter your Passphrase & Let us know if you see correct balance

haitch

@kurttasche The only way you can get a different account number is with a different pass phrase. You're not entering the same phrase as you originally used.

Alongzz

yeah...i was going for the wallet coz thinking thats the only way i might be able plot my hard drive easier..already have myself a wllet now..thanks to u guys..

kurttasche

@haitch I'm attaching a screenshot of the client. After using my passphrase to login, it shows my original wallet balance at the bottom, but shows a different wallet and balance in the main window.

@kurttasche the on screen wallet and the mining wallet are not necessarily the same address. Your mining wallet is associated to your original address, your on-screen one is the one with the incorrect passphrase. Here's an example - I'm logged in on one account, and setup to mine on a different one. The passphrase for you on screen wallet is wrong - probably an extra leading or trailing character.

kurttasche

@haitch Thanks. I still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. No extra beginning or trailing characters. Copying passphrase exactly. Still not able to get the correct onscreen wallet to load. There's something I"m doing wrong, I just can't figure out what it is.

kurttasche

@haitch I'm thinking about just creating a new wallet. Still can't figure out why my passphrase loads a different wallet.

maybe you have loaded a completely different passphrase and lost the real passphrase. It's unrecoverable if you lost it. How large is your plot? If it's not that big of a plot, please do make a new wallet, save the passphrase securely. even make a literal copy on paper (i do this) then re plot. I'll send you 100 burst to keep you going and not be discouraged. :)

kurttasche

@jervis @haitch and everyone else. Thank you. I finally got it figured out. Apparently, if you have the passphrase all on one line, it makes a difference. I simply put the last word on a new line, copied it, and it worked.

what? I don't know that? I have them in one line. Your passphrase is alien. For real, that's out of my league. o.0

@kurttasche You have a newline character in your passphrase. Without it, it's a different pass phrase. It needs to be exactly as initially entered - you had a newline when you created it.
