Recovery word phrase is invalid
rioda-org opened this issue · comments
I figured out that I've opened issue in /docs... omg, I will open new issue on /grin
I presume, word phrase in recovery process should be entered as originaly presented, every word separated by space? I did copy paste of words, I've run a new node, synced and now I get this message "Recovery word phrase is invalid" when I run command "./grin wallet recover"
Any suggestions?
Should have saved damn files...
this is the error i get when trying to recover wallet

Wallet command failed: IO error
@rioda-org Good you got it solved I presume? Otherwise there's the support chat that can give answers fairly quickly: https://gitter.im/grin_community/support
Another trick, and for anyone coming here later, sometimes grin wallet check is all you need. On the other hand it is good to practice doing backup and restore regularly.
The thing is, I've formated hdd that had my node and wallet. I've put up new node and wanted to "get back" my first wallet from seed words.
I used "grin wallet recover" command, but that is wrong, procedure is:
- grin wallet init -r
- grin wallet restore
i got mixed up in restore/recover terminology
