Okay i will do it with the 15 word seed.


When i put a password for it, does the password need to be same as the lite waves client?  So if i use a new password... that is the same password used to log into the lite waves client right?

Can someone who went from lite waves client to desktop client tell me when you do this, do you use the same password for the lite waves client or you created a new one?  On the instructions, it says put a password but on the picture, it says to put a new password.  So if you use a new password, you log into your waves desktop client this way.  But what if you were to later log into the lite waves client?  Do you use the old password or the new one?  Or is the new password you use going to be the same for the desktop client and the lite client?

Okay i think i understand this now.  Can you confirm what i posted above?


But for the password, we have to use a brand new password or the old waves password?  Does it matter?


So let say i use the new one.  So if i wanted to log into the lite waves client nex time, i have to make sure to use the new password i created for the desktop waves client right?  Or would it be a different waves password for the desktop client and a different waves password for the lite client?

Okay so



Type in my 15 word seed.  The address below it should be the same as my waves address correct?  I notice when i copy and paste my 15 word phrase it displays the correct waves address.


Then make sure its checked keep the account on this computer and click continue


Then name your wallet such as My Wallet and enter either your old waves password or new password and then check all 3 boxes and then click confirm and begin right?


After that, you are done?


Do you suggest a new password for the waves desktop client or use old one?  More secure to use new one?

ess


After i type say the 5th word of my seed, it displays a waves address... then when i type in my 6th word, say the 1st letter, a new address shows up... i type 2nd letter of my 6th word, another waves address shows up.  Does that make sense? 


Im confused why does this happen?

Anyone here get bch to their wallet?  Have very tiny amount.

Okay so type in my 15 word seed from waves.  Is everyone else 15 words or some ppl have 12?


Then i look and that waves address below should my waves address correct?


Then it ask you to put name for account and password.  I see it says enter a new password.  So choose a completely different password and do not use the same old waves password with lite waves client?


Then check all those 3 boxes?




So you cannot import from the waves client to the desktop?

Bump can someone tell me how to use the desktop client and how to restore it?  I am using the lite client now and downloaded the desktop client.  But i cannot restore it using the lite client and have to enter my waves seed into it?

Okay so for that airdrop, i dont need to upgrade to the waves desktop client now?  Can i use the lite client as is?  


I read on that link you can participate in that Vostok airdrop by either


1.  Copy and pasting your waves address

or

2.  Send 0.0001 waves to this address

So both the same thing?  But if you do 1, you click auth with waves keeper below?  Is there anything else you need to do after that?  But you still need to install that extension right?


So is it safer just sending 0.0001 waves to that waves address instead?

Okay so waves seeds are either 12 words or 15 words correct?  Does it matter which one mine is?


But why does it show an address after i type in 7 words of my seed then?  Why should there be anything displayed?  Example if i type in a 12 word seed but i have a 15 word seed, then that 12 word seed is someone elses seed? 



I already have a password for my lite waves client when i log in each time.  So i need to put a completely new password for the waves client now when i do this?  I want to keep the same password for waves when logging into desktop computer.



What do you mean create new account?  You mean create a brand new waves account?  I don't want to do that because that would i mean i get a brand new seed?



I just want to use the same lite waves client but people say upgrade to desktop.  I want to use same password as my old waves client and obviously keep the same seed.

So after i type in the seed, it should display my waves address below it?   Then i click on it and then click continue?


Why does it display a different waves address each time after i type in my 6th word, 7th word, etc?

hi so the import from lite client is not an option?  Could you still do that or not?  Or is the seed only way to get the desktop client?


I went to import seed.  When im typing my seed after i type in a few words, it shows different waves addresses?  Example i type in 5 words of my seed, it displays a waves address i entered a 6th word, it displays another waves address?  Is this normal?  Why does it do this?


So after this, i make sure the keep the account on this computer checked?

I opened waves lite client and then opened the waves desktop client and pressed importing from the waves client and it does not work.


Is that because my old waves client is very old?



Can anyone here confirm you can no longer import account?  So the only way to use the desktop client is import account from the backup seed?  The option to import accounts from the waves client does not work...

Can anyone here confirm this?


So we can no longer import accounts from the waves lite client option in the import accounts page?

you mean yes to put my 12 word seed in?


I opened waves lite client and then opened the waves desktop client and pressed importing from the waves client and it does not work.

Can someone tell me how to use the desktop waves client account?  Why can i not import the way im doing it?  Do i need the lite waves client to be opened to do this i assume?

Okay i downloaded the waves desktop client.  But when it ask me to import accounts,


I chosed waves lite client and then it says no accounts found


We were unable to retrieve your accounts.  Please restore them by using their backup seeds. 


And to click I understand




Is there a reason i got this message?  Do i need waves lite client opened before i click i understand?



So i have to put in my 12 word seed then?

Also i did download waves app on my nano ledger s but i never did the process to connect it.  So that obviously means its not import accounts from your ledger device right?
