Title: 0.9.3 asks to unlock wallet, no password set
Post by: karnal on October 05, 2015, 06:12:18 pm

So this is something that must've changed in either 0.9.2 or 0.9.3.

I keep several wallets around, and change between them by symlinking wallets/default to wallets/$target before starting the gui.

Presently I tried to create a new wallet, so mkdir wallets/newwallet and then ln -s newwallet default


Starting up with the symlink in place leads to the initial lock screen (it's a new wallet, it has no password). This was not an issue previously, as I followed the same procedure in the past to create the wallets I already have.

Moving config.json out of the way does not improve the situation.


Any ideas?

For posterity:

$ rm -r wallets/newwallet
$ bitshares_client
>>> wallet_create newwallet "superStrongPasswordHere"

Perhaps that's how it was done in the past, it's been a long time since new wallets were created here..
