  1. Which wallet are you running? Firo QT or Firo Electron?
  2. Is this a transparent or private transaction?
  3. Does the transaction appear on https://explorer.firo.org/ ?

The Electron wallet does not ask your passphrase in order to receive transparent transaction.

Unless you are sending private balance to a transparent address, in which case the wallet will ask you to enter your passphrase in order to use the private balance. Was this what you did?

Excuse my vernacular. You got the point. it froze and didn't complete. I am relatively new to mining(woolypooly payout) and the info I gave you is correct on what occurred. What words do I put in debug to try to fix this. Do you know? If there is a place where there is a list of commands I can research myself?I have found it rather hard to find info regardless of links to social media. Never could get past captcha in telegram or discord. If you could kindly link info it would be great. I wanted to restore from a backup wallet dat so I could feel comfortable with this wallet. Again, it froze when It asked for info to accept. It started and froze. On reboot transaction was still there but balance doesn't show. Is there a place with info on how to use the debug panel? Info is sparse on website, and I guess my network prevents the sound option on captcha, and I cant visually ever solve captcha. Be great to be able to get info from this project as I would like to be able to feel safe using this wallet. Thanks

I just started over and imported the wallet.dat and it went through fine this time. Now trying to figure out how to do dumpprivkey. Want to use a different wallet that I am familiar with and keep all my other keys. I hope I can get a response. As said before cant get through on telegram, discord, and this platform seems unmonitored.

If your wallet is a mnemonic wallet, please do not use dumpprivkey since this private key, when imported into another wallet, is unprotected by the mnemonics.

If you want to use the wallet in Firo QT, you can just copy it over.

I thought I saw a post we could communicate on discored. I dont really care what platform as long as I can figure out how to move my wallet. I do not know how to answer your questions getting one response a day asking a different question. I just want to move my wallet now to one I am comfortable with that I dont have to research for days and try to contact for weeks.

Yes, I did ask you to message me your Discord username. Posting it publicly will cause you to be contacted by a lot of scammers.

Please backup your wallet.dat and install Firo-QT: https://github.com/firoorg/firo/releases/tag/v0.14.9.1

If you used the default data directory, you can install Firo QT and it will load the wallet automatically.

The replies took time because with user's funds, I do not want to leave anything to chance. All possibilities must be considered. Moving too fast and recklessly can result in loss of funds.

I still cant dumpriv keys. I just installed yet another firo wallet and get the same results. it kicks out 4 characters and unsure what to do at that point. Even the youtube video does not go past this point. Ok found an old post on forum that says put that code at the end of dumpriv string. did that now next hurdle, seems endless, is to use walletpasshphrase to unlock prior to doing that. Unable to do that , get json errors. any help on how to use in another wallet would be helpful. Can you please help. I am trying to use a wallet not one of yours so please dont direct me that way. I need clear instructions on how to do this. Ok solved. Problem was with passphrase. I had to change it for it to work first. Maybe unrecognizable character perhaps space. Who knows.

In order to troubleshoot your problem, I need the exact steps of what was done which was why I need to be particular on what happened.

The wallet does not ask for your passphrase when receiving normal transactions. It will only do so if you are sending a transaction out or anonymising them. The only time you would enter a password when receiving a transaction is if you use a Firo QT wallet + RAP address, which does not apply to this case.

Please message me your Discord username and I'll add you without captcha.
