When wallet be realised?
Due to some problems of higher priority to be fixed, this question has no sense current time. Among such problems is so called blockchain bloating curse - the price we pay for maintain FUNDAMENTAL anonymity level of Monero. This curse can not be solved completely in terms of Cryptonote algorithm, but delelopers are working hard to insert embedded database like leveldb, that dramatically decreases exe-file memory footprint, and may apply extra comression on saved data.
One can use Bitcoin for ordinary payments, and Monero for TOTALLY anonymous payments that never could be unveiled by FBI agents, etc. Mathematical theorems and completely decentralized Cryptonote algorithm do guarantee 100% pure natural anonymity
And because with blockchain growing, I repost detailed instructions to migrate to 64-bit Monero toolchain.
With 64-bit Monero, even TODAY you do achieve high level of robustness & durability, even without embedded database.
*WINDOWS USERS* (I think Linux users may do very very the same)
In case of any technical problem you have encountered with Monero:
1. Backup your wallet.* files.
2. Delete ALL Monero files from your computer.
3. Download 64-bit Monero zip & blockchain.bin from 1st sticky page of this thread.
4. Unzip & place all the files downloaded above to the directory: "C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\bitmonero".
5. From the backup made at step 1, place wallet.* files ||| EXCEPT wallet.bin ||| into directory at step 4.
6. Start bitmonerod.exe and wait for it to sync with the net.
7. Start simplewallet by the commad prompt: "simplewallet --wallet-file wallet.bin" (name of file that must NOT exist in directory at step 4).
8. When you want to stop any monero executables - ALWAYS type "exit" & be patient.
simplewallet re-creates correct version of wallet.bin for you.
Since you migrate to 64-bit Monero by CORRECT WAY mentioned above - you will never have any problem except being patient due to Monero is currently somewhat slow.
Monero developers are working hard to entirely fix the problem - you may choose either migrate the way I described above, or wait for developers to release a fix.
Note that if you named your wallet file not "wallet.bin" but simply "wallet" you have to delete file "wallet", but keep "wallet.keys", etc,
so meaning file name is what you type to simplewallet prompt on starting:
C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\bitmonero\
before:
...
wallet.bin
wallet.bin.keys
wallet.bin.address.txt
after:
...
wallet.bin.keys
wallet.bin.address.txt
[64-bit] simplewallet --wallet-file wallet.bin
***OR***
before:
...
wallet
wallet.keys
wallet.address.txt
after:
...
wallet.keys
wallet.address.txt
[64 bit] simplewallet --wallet-file wallet
