Topic: Devcoin QT Wallet For Windows Users Discussion Thread (Read 12197 times)
Hi guys, just need a bit of advice regarding the devcoin wallet. I have downloaded the windows wallet from the devtome site, and installed it no problems. It has connected and is synching, however on startup the windows firewall blocks it and i have to manually allow it to start. After i minimise, it just refuses to open again and will not do so until i restart. I checked the windows firewall settings and it is checked as an allowable application. Any ideas? I am running Windows 8
I just received my first payment from devtome. Curious: Does this wallet show your amount of devcoins in BTC or does it show your amount of devcoins... The payment from devtome was for 11.00 but im not sure what that means since the wallet is branded completely BTC. Halp?
no way to back up wallet in console? I see we can encrypt it but no where to save or back it up.
hi everyone. sorry for reviving this thread, but ive run into a problem with my wallet. I cant seem to get it to connect. I have turned off firewall, downloaded recievers, etc. 
So, to try to avoid the hassle all together, can i use a cryptsy.com address for the writer submissions? It would make my life a whole lot easier. 
Thanks.
sent you a msg in reply to your pm So, to try to avoid the hassle all together, can i use a cryptsy.com address for the writer submissions? It would make my life a whole lot easier. Thanks.

Probably not, but you could ask cryptsy. For the most part, exchange addresses do not support getting generated coins.
What program did you download and from where?

One more question: I am running windows 7 home premium 64 bit and when I install the exe for devcoin it all works fine and then the first time I run it, the program opens and gives me an address, etc. However when I close the program and try to open it again it does not open. Why does the program only open once and never again? What did I do wrong?
Thanks

sometime the program stuck at downloading or networking issues, you may stay to wait for some seconds or even several minutes, the time depend on how many block there to be download and some other factors.
Thanks.

Very noob question:
Devtome mentions that you need to have an address that can receive accept share generation payout rewards. Can the file found at the link you provided generate an address that can do that? Or are their additional modifications that have to be made?
Thanks
Yep the link that psybits has in his post is for a devcoin wallet setup, similar to the bitcoin wallet, and will generate an address that you can use for devtome. You shouldn't have to do anything else, unless as he says you already have an old devcoin wallet on your machine, in which case follow his steps to backup and copy over the wallet.dat file.

For anyone else out there who is having trouble with a second install, please make sure to fully remove the first install first by following the below steps:
Click on search windows in the bottom left above the start button, type in
%appdata%
then delete the entire Devcoin folder with everything in it (assuming you don't have a Devcoin wallet on your computer - if you have a wallet there you need to cope your wallet.dat from the Devcoin folder inside %appdata%)
Then try running the installation again now the old Devcoin install has been fully removed from your computer

No problem. Just let it run - give it a few minutes it should start automatically.
EDIT: also just check with your firewall that it's getting through if it doesn't automatically start downloading the blockchain after a few minutes.

I'd recommend using this build for a smoother install (NOTE: it is technically still experimental but I haven't had any problems with it and the install is pretty much automatic - just keep a copy of your wallet.dat safe elsewhere after you have set it up just in case)
I'm not even sure if it should still be experimental as it really does install and run like a dream

I'm using the 'Devcoin Experimental Windows32 Setup Exe' and it's fine for me, after copying wallet from old install to that one (although it is still 'experimental' apparently so if you're not sure about installing it please wait for replies here - or try the main devcoin thread - from those who built them; killer, psybits I think)
Discussion here (I also recall a recommendation to back up the wallet first before encrypting)
