I opened my wallet (CryptoNote Wallet v0.2.1) and I get "Status: Can not connect to daemon"
Any ideas how to get the wallet going again?
I don't know what GUI wallet you use but you need to have all the files from the normal wallet.
Keep everything in one folder.
Be sure to be up-to-date for both normal wallet and GUI wallet. If you didn't update for some time, I am sure it is not gonna work. Check the GUI wallet thread for all updates and read.
Always have a backup of your personal wallet (the key files).
I followed your guide in op step by step. Everything ran fine until 7/7/14. I downloaded the exact gui wallet in the op except mine said "cryptonote wallet v0.2.1" instead of your "cryptonote wallet v0.1.5"
Even if I try and run the simple wallet, when I refresh I get an error message "Error: Wallet failed to connect to daemon (http://localhost:(port #). Daemon either is not started or passed wrong port. Please, make sure that daemon is running or restart the wallet with correct daemon address."
I have no idea how all of this happened.
