hmmm, fixed it by running particld...i thought the Particl Wallet.exe would automatically start particld. Now GUI wallet is shows a message "CONNECTION REFUSED, DAEMON IS NOT CONNECTED"
Hope this help.
hmm...i don't even have a particl.conf file
This error usually happens if the daemon is already running (or in process of quitting).
I actually created a particl.conf file and entered daemon=0 and now the Particl Wallet is starting without error. particld.exe still fires up so not sure why this is working.
Also noticed that the new particl core 0.15.1.0 is not being downloaded automatically when starting the Particl Wallet... I even tried replacing the particld.exe in the AppData\Roaming\Particl Wallet\particld\unpacked folder with the 0.15.1.0 version and when I restarted the wallet, it reverted to 0.15.0.4
Forgot to mention before that I have cold staking setup. Do I even need to run the particld locally when I have Particl Wallet running?
