With help from community here's
steps I took to get MAC WALLET up and running. Thought I'd consolidate to make easier on future person.
Download Wallet and find overall information from the Opening Page:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/zeit-community-knights-ultra-low-inflation-micro-payments-487814Download “Snapshot” ‘.rar file Here:
https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Forum/Thread/1336?postId=7831*Note the directions on this are for Windows but the ".rar" file is same
Open Wallet you downloaded
Close Wallet
Open folder: Library/Application Support/zeitcoin
*Note, it’s hard to find “hidden” folders in macs. This is what threw me off. Here’s a good direction (from a user here!) on how to find that folder:
https://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac-software/how-show-hidden-files-library-folder-mac-3520878/Move .rar file to Library/Application Support/zeitcoin
“Uncompress” .rar file in Library/Application Support/zeitcoin
*Note, I had to download this application and it worked like a charm:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dr-unarchiver-rar-zip-tool/id1127253508?mt=12You will notice a new folder Library/Application Support/zeitcoin/
ZeitBlockChainSnapShot-2018-01-09
*the name of the folder will be in sync with current .rar (snapshot) you downloaded
Move any file or folder from that new folder (Library/Application Support/zeitcoin/
ZeitBlockChainSnapShot-2018-01-09) into main folder Library/Application Support/zeitcoin)
BEFORE YOU DO THAT, delete in main folder (Library/Application Support/zeitcoin) anything named the same in the new snapshot folder. The new ones are the ones you want to use.
After that's done Open Wallet
It should be syncing. It takes a few hours for the first time so leave it open but once it does it works.
"Help/Debug" in wallet shows you status of how many blocks are left and how far back the last block was. If it's 100's or 1000s of days ago it's not correct.
ONce synced you'll get a confirmation.
Then
Test receiving small amount of ZEIT in from an exchange. Confirm
Test sending small amount of ZEIT out back to exchange Confirm.
“Encrypt” your wallet. DON’T LOSE YOUR PASS PHRASE.
Use your wallet.
Once you have base coins in there BACKUP wallet.dat in a safe place with a date stamp so you can use that with your pass phrase if you ever need to.
I keep my wallet locked and not into “minting” and all that right now. Happy to have control of my investment (not a small one for me at this guppy at this point) so will secure and figure out if I want to do that later. But prob leave that to others since stake rate is low. Which actually is a good thing for stability of coin.
Hope this helps and any “knights” who think I did something wrong please raise red flag for myself and others.
Another very important point for everyone.
If you're receiving coins on different addresses then you should have a latest backup of your wallet with all your addresses as every address as it's own private key to access coins.
