You need to run the cli with the flags to be able to import your paper wallet:
electroneum-wallet-cli --generate-from-keys WALLET
Thank you Enerjay. This was the most useful post in this thread for me. I was missing the "generate from keys" flag.
However, I have been mining all day at 1300 h/s and it says Balance 0.00, unlocked balance 0.00
Any insight?
I've been having the same problem.. i think it's because i'm not part of the pool.. i was mining on my own.. about to start mining using the pool.
Thank you for the info EnerJay. Quick question, I have been able to start mining on the direct mac miner, providing my paper wallet. However, when I access "electroneum-wallet-cli", how do I run the flags? I get: "Specify wallet file name (e.g., MyWallet). If the wallet doesn't exist, it will be created.
Wallet file name (or Ctrl-C to quit):", when I enter: "--generate-from-keys WALLET" (without quotes) I get the following message: "No wallet found with that name. Confirm creation of new wallet named: --generate-from-keys MyWallet (Y/Yes/N/No):"
I don't seem to get the prompt to enter my public address and private key.
Thanks!
Okay so you're running the "electroneum-wallet-cli" from the commandline right? terminal? so instead of just using it on it's own like that you need to run it with the flags:
electroneum-wallet-cli --generate-from-keys WALLET
where WALLET is the name of the new wallet file you want to generate from your paper wallet..
Also, everyone who wants to transfer to the exchange: only the miners can sell at the moment since all the ICO money is still stuck on the Electroneum website.
If you are a miner and you want to transfer to Cryptopia, download the "Direct Miner" for your OS from
https://downloads.electroneum.com/ and then create a wallet file from the paper wallet you've been mining to using the method above.
Once you have a wallet file, close the cli.
Now you need to start the daemon by running the "electroneumd" file. This will sync the blockchain. Wait for it to complete and do NOT close it before you do the next step.
Next, relaunch the cli without the flags (in a new terminal window). Then enter the name of the wallet file you created.
Once you have done this it will sync with the daemon and your funds should show up.
Once your funds are all there, you should be able to use the "transfer" command of the cli.. type "help" to see the syntax
