Hello. I’m trying to claim my XMV from a XMR gui wallet. Following your video demo, I’m enter the exact same name of my XMR wallet, the seed key words and the location of the “Monero/wallet” which is where my XMR wallet is. But then I get the error message “A wallet with the same name already exists. Please change wallet name” I’m finding this confusing because I picked the option to restore from my XMR wallet. Any ideas?? Thanks.
So the solution for the same is- You as a trial created XMV wallet, therefore first delete XMV wallet that you created and then repeat the same.
Solution 2: Move your XMR wallet to some other location and then select the exact location of “XMR Wallet” and then try.
Hello, I did solution 2 as you suggested. It worked but it only received 38 coins, out of the 61 since I was holding 6.1 XMR at the time of height 1564965. Does it make a difference in the option height cause I entered 1549000? Thanks.
Try syncing again your wallet with Option height less this time.
Yes, I started over, and left optional height blank and I got it all. Thanks for the info, it helped.
You are extremely Welcome 🙂
