1.7.6 wallet issue about blur HOT 3 CLOSED

Mining bat from 1.7.5 and previous doesn't work.
I get : Unknown command: logger %loc %msg

Opening wallet from 1.7.5 fails on invalid password, but create new wallet works, and from that, start_mining works and starts mining in daemon ok. But old wallet can't be opened.

I got the same question that opening wallet fails on invalid password. Please tell me how to solve it.

For the errors when running blurd.exe with startup flags on Windows:
If you are seeking to run the daemon with start-up flags (i.e. --start-mining or similar) the argument for the flag must be passed with an = sign instead of a space. Such that, what would have previously been written --log-level 3 must now be written --log-level=3. Similarly, to start mining to an address in daemon, the following is an example of the correct syntax:

Using cmd.exe: blurd.exe --start-mining=<address> --mining-threads=<# of threads>

Fill the bracketed areas with your subjective values, omitting the brackets.

Using powershell: .\blurd.exe --start-mining=<address> --mining-threads=<# of threads>

For the wallet password issue
You'll need to restore your wallet from the 25-word mnemonic seed, due to a change in the way passwords are handled.

The following is from a user "kyriores" on our bitcointalk.org thread:

In case you didn't write down your 25-word mnemonic, here's how to get it back and restore the wallet under the new version:

• Open the blur-wallet-cli.exe of an older version
• Sign in to your wallet
• Type encrypted_seed and hit enter
• Enter your password again and hit enter
• Hit enter twice (unless you have an optional seed encryption passphrase)
• Copy the 25 words
• Go to the folder where you saved the files of the newest version (v0.1.7.6)
• Type powershell in the address bar of that folder and hit enter
• Type .\blur-wallet-cli.exe --restore-deterministic and hit enter
• Create a wallet file and paste the 25 word mnemonic when prompted (it asks you to paste it line by line)
• You should have the new wallet files in the folder

Closing due to less requests for help regarding the wallet password issues. Will reopen if that changes
