- Ethereum Wallet
- The Ethereum wallet, which allows you to create simple and multisig wallets to manage your ether.
- The wallet contains its own node, but can also use an already running one, if the IPC path of that node is the standard path.
- (See below)
- ## Running on a testnet
- When you start the wallet on a testnet (e.g. different `--datadir`) you need to make sure to set the `--ipcpath` back to the original one.
- On OSX its `~/Library/Ethereum/geth.ipc` on linux `~/.ethereum/geth.ipc` and on windows it uses a named pipe, which doesn't need to be renamed.
- Example:
- $ geth --datadir /my/chain/ --networkid 23 --ipcpath ~/Library/Ethereum/geth.ipc
- ### Original contract
- Once you start the app while running a testnet, the wallet need to deploy an original contract,
- which will be used by the wallet contracts you create.
- The point of the original wallet is that wallet contract creation is cheaper,
- as not the full code has to be deployed for every wallet.
- You need to make sure that the account displayed for the original wallet creation is unlocked and has at least 1 ether.
- ## Paths
- The paths which store your wallets database and node are different:
- The wallet (Mist) stores its data at:
- * Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Mist
- * Windows: %APPDATA%\Roaming\Mist
- * Linux: ~/.config/Mist
- The nodes data is stored at:
- * Mac: ~/Library/Ethereum
- * Windows: %APPDATA%\Roaming\Ethereum
- * Linux: ~/.ethereum
