<selsta> "you have to open the wallet file..." <- got it back
-
SeanGolden[m]
ty for your help
-
SeanGolden[m]
i just gotta figure out now how to change it from view only so i can send it out
-
SeanGolden[m]
and get my money back lol
-
selsta
you either need the wallet.keys file
-
selsta
or the seed
-
selsta
or the private spend key
-
SeanGolden[m]
ya i cannot find instructions anywhere
-
selsta
SeanGolden[m]: how did you create the view only wallet in the first place?
-
SeanGolden[m]
when you first make a wallet it asks i think i clicked it somehow
-
SeanGolden[m]
supposed to be a way to change it thru command the cli program
-
SeanGolden[m]
but i cant find out how
-
SeanGolden[m]
been searching it will only let me make like a file that i guess can be imported to another hot wallet but finding that out seems impossible so far
-
selsta
Which program did you use to initially create the wallet?
-
SeanGolden[m]
monero gui
-
selsta
Also what's the wallet name inside your explorer? Does it end with _viewonly or so?
-
selsta
if you create a view only wallet it will create the _viewonly in addition to the regular wallet.
-
SeanGolden[m]
ya top left says Account #0 toxinburn
-
SeanGolden[m]
view only
-
SeanGolden[m]
but it has the balance
-
selsta
no
-
selsta
which operating system do you use?
-
SeanGolden[m]
windows 10
-
selsta
Ok, open explorer and go to the location of the wallet file
-
SeanGolden[m]
k
-
selsta
you should have wallet, wallet.keys, wallet_viewonly and wallet_viewonly.keys
-
selsta
with wallet being your wallet name
-
SeanGolden[m]
just toxinburn and toxinburn.keys
-
SeanGolden[m]
but like if you open it with gui wallet or choose to restore from that keys file it opens as view only everytime
-
SeanGolden[m]
i think you can change it with monero-walllet-cli.exe somehow
-
selsta
no, wait
-
selsta
If you click on "Create a new wallet" it will never create a view only wallet.
-
selsta
So I'm surprised how you got this in the first place.
-
selsta
The only way to create a view only wallet is to do it in Settings but then it will get created in addition to the existing wallet.
-
selsta
"wallet, wallet.keys, wallet_viewonly and wallet_viewonly.keys" <-- like here
-
SeanGolden[m]
i just used the toxinburn.keys file to restore from file
-
SeanGolden[m]
but it never asks again if you want view only or not
-
selsta
In the GUI there is only "Open wallet from file" and "Restore wallet from seed/keys". Which did you choose?
-
SeanGolden[m]
keys cause i did not have the seed
-
SeanGolden[m]
view only has no seed
-
selsta
on the keys page you have enter public address, private view key and private spend key
-
selsta
if you don't enter private spend key you will get a view only wallet
-
SeanGolden[m]
ya it does not have private spend key either
-
SeanGolden[m]
only public
-
SeanGolden[m]
it shouldnt be this ridiculous i know
-
SeanGolden[m]
but it is 1.372012190000
-
SeanGolden[m]
smh
-
selsta
To get public address and private view key you must have generated this wallet at some point in time.
-
selsta
That's where the seed usually gets written down :/
-
SeanGolden[m]
ya i did and it never gave one with view only
-
SeanGolden[m]
nor a private spend
-
SeanGolden[m]
and i cant find any real support team for this wallet
-
selsta
When did you create this wallet?
-
SeanGolden[m]
on the 1st i believe it was
-
SeanGolden[m]
cause atomic was and still is messed up with xmr
-
selsta
Did you create it with atomic wallet?
-
SeanGolden[m]
it was sent to this address thru cake wallet
-
SeanGolden[m]
but it was on atomic then atomic support told me to import some stuff to gui which i did and now its on this view only crap
-
SeanGolden[m]
under send it says waller is view-only and sends are only possible by using offline transaction signing. Unless key images are imported, the balance reflects only incoming but not outgoing transactions.
-
SeanGolden[m]
so you can make a file with another wallet to send it to then create an offline transaction file
-
SeanGolden[m]
but i dunno if maybe i should just make another wallet go back to the view only then see if i can maybe import that file or what
-
selsta
SeanGolden[m]: do you still have to atomic wallet open?
-
selsta
what can you export there? there must be more than just view key
-
SeanGolden[m]
i can open it
-
selsta
-
selsta
this has the steps
-
selsta
SeanGolden[m]: did ^ work?
-
selsta
you need the spend key, otherwise you won't be able to get your funds out
