1.7.6 wallet issue

[tonedepear]

Mining bat from 1.7.5 and previous doesn't work.
I get : Unknown command: logger %loc %msg

Opening wallet from 1.7.5 fails on invalid password, but create new wallet works, and from that, start_mining works and starts mining in daemon ok. But old wallet can't be opened.

Opening wallet from 1.7.5 fails on invalid password, but create new wallet works, and from that, start_mining works and starts mining in daemon ok. But old wallet can't be opened.

I got the same question that opening wallet fails on invalid password. Please tell me how to solve it.

For the errors when running blurd.exe with startup flags on Windows:
If you are seeking to run the daemon with start-up flags (i.e. --start-mining or similar) the argument for the flag must be passed with an = sign instead of a space. Such that, what would have previously been written --log-level 3 must now be written --log-level=3. Similarly, to start mining to an address in daemon, the following is an example of the correct syntax:

Using cmd.exe: blurd.exe --start-mining=<address> --mining-threads=<# of threads>

Fill the bracketed areas with your subjective values, omitting the brackets.

Using powershell: .\blurd.exe --start-mining=<address> --mining-threads=<# of threads>

For the wallet password issue
You'll need to restore your wallet from the 25-word mnemonic seed, due to a change in the way passwords are handled.

The following is from a user "kyriores" on our bitcointalk.org thread:

In case you didn't write down your 25-word mnemonic, here's how to get it back and restore the wallet under the new version:

• Open the blur-wallet-cli.exe of an older version
• Sign in to your wallet
• Type encrypted_seed and hit enter
• Enter your password again and hit enter
• Hit enter twice (unless you have an optional seed encryption passphrase)
• Copy the 25 words
• Go to the folder where you saved the files of the newest version (v0.1.7.6)
• Type powershell in the address bar of that folder and hit enter
• Type .\blur-wallet-cli.exe --restore-deterministic and hit enter
• Create a wallet file and paste the 25 word mnemonic when prompted (it asks you to paste it line by line)
• You should have the new wallet files in the folder
