if you type "seed" within simplewallet, it will show you your 24 words
thanks, that worked, and my wallet is like from early May..
Doesn't work for me. All I get is "unknown command". Yes my wallet has a seed. I deleted it from the log file long ago.
The help command reveals nothing useful for seed.
My help commend does show seed:
Code:
seed Get deterministic seed
Maybe you have an old version?
I downloaded the June 11 version from the first page.

I think the first post has the same links (with outdated version labels) so I guess it depends on when you downloaded a copy.
I downloaded in June after the June 11 update. Considering the following post I don't see why I can't get my seed but the fact is I can't.

Yes I want to update to the version you linked but i'm not confident that I wont mess something up. If I had my seed then it wouldn't matter if I erased everything. At this point I guess I'll send my balance somewhere, download the new version and create a new wallet(s).

Tried the wallet, very different to Bitcoin-QT alike wallet. I need more time to understand XMR.
It takes a while to get used to. You can start reading up on the tech here https://cryptonote.org/inside/

The view key will eventually allow you to do that but for now you can look up the transaction in a block explorer by txid to make sure it was confirmed into the block chain.
Ok. is there a command to get that tx id from wherever i'm sending from? (meaning from simple wallet?? As I would probably/likely send it from the exchange a temporary simplewallet address, then on to the paper address).
So, thats me final question, I promise, and thanks again, much appreciated.
When you send from simplewallet it gives you the txid right away. When you send from an exchange they usually give you the txid on their wallet/balances/withdraw page although it was reported here recently that one of the exchanges did not.
damn you are indeed smooth. thank you very much sir, i really appreciate all you guys do, and i mine on a pool that give you xmr, so hopefully it helps... (scam pool ops aside, as i know little about them?)..
Edit - i've created my live usb boot disk. i'm about to copy the bins to it. wish me luck!

1. I've created a wallet before. but i don't recall getting the 24 words. is it in the logfile or something?
I don't know maybe. You can look. The older wallets didn't provide a seed, so all you have in that case is the wallet file itself.

2. Ditto on the viewkey - don't recall that either, but i made this wallet from the first version btw... (and have deleted my logfiles a few times, so this address is not really good anymore (in sig i mean) in practical terms.
4. What files do i need for that, just the binaries, or do i need to keep my *.keys file?

You only need the .keys file.
If you don't have the seed I suggest you just create a brand new wallet (offline if you are paranoid) save the seed securely then send the funds to that wallet.
Awesome thanks guys but i guess this is my real question (I know my old wallet is old/worthless, i thought i implied i would create a new one, like in fluffyponys post etc.
So - When i create a new wallet - do i get shown the seed and viewkey? or again, do i have to go look in the log - sorry no access to my wallet right now
thanks again x10!

Note that I'm not sure how the 24-word seed works with wallet passwords. I still have an old-style wallet so I've never used the word seed before. Not sure if you just need the seed (like Electrum) or if you need both seed + password.
You just need the seed. The password is used to encrypt the file but the seed allows access to the coins at that address without a wallet file.
In fact if you forget or lose your password but saved the seed somewhere, you can recover your account/wallet using the restore procedure. You will be asked for a new password for the new account/wallet file.

Man, you guys are fantastic, thank you.
just a few smallish questions from that great post -
1. I've created a wallet before. but i don't recall getting the 24 words. is it in the logfile or something?
2. Ditto on the viewkey - don't recall that either, but i made this wallet from the first version btw... (and have deleted my logfiles a few times, so this address is not really good anymore (in sig i mean) in practical terms.
4. What files do i need for that, just the binaries, or do i need to keep my *.keys file?
thanks again, sorry for being a moron, just need to do this 100% correct, too much at stake!
Edit right now my XMR is on an exchange. a good one, albeit i'm not going to leave them there. HELL no.. no goxxing for me thanks!
1. I don't think you can get the deterministic seed for 'old-style' wallets, only for ones created in newer versions. You can always create a new wallet and then transfer any funds over from your old one though.
2. Same as above, its a new feature that's not been present in old style ones.
3.
4. Since you don't have the deterministic 24-word seed, you need to keep the .keys file backed up. If you create a new wallet (just copy the binaries to a new folder and run them), it will create a new wallet and give you the 24-word seed and viewkey. You can choose to then back up the .keys file, save the paper key somewhere safe, or both.
Note that I'm not sure how the 24-word seed works with wallet passwords. I still have an old-style wallet so I've never used the word seed before. Not sure if you just need the seed (like Electrum) or if you need both seed + password.
