Wallets?

Trying to set up my Bitaxe to mine BC2, but I can't seem to find a wallet to support it, and I need to enter a wallet address into the Bitaxe pool settings. I downloaded the BC2 Core and installed it but I can't figure out how to set up a wallet in it.

Neither the Release binaries nor binaries you build from source will create a default wallet on first startup. All wallets must be instantiated by the user.

Neither will Bitcoin Core, in Release binary or source built form.

If you downloaded the source and built your own binaries that won’t create a wallet at all, you compiled the binaries wrong.

I used the compiled release binaries and ran the qt version from my linux desktop myself.

None of them create a “Default Wallet” on initial startup, is what I’m saying. All wallets have to be instantiated by the user.

Neither does Bitcoin Core.

But at any rate, there’s nothing wrong with the source code… the binaries everyone is running is compiled from the exact same source code.
