3 important things:



- If you unlock the wallet before the blockchain finishes downloading (you can compare to the height at explore.siacoin.com), the program will slow down substantially and may appear like it is frozen. Until we fix this issue, it's best to wait to unlock your wallet until the blockchain is fully downloaded. Depending on your computer, this will take between 20 minutes and 9 hours (it's much faster on SSDs).



- You can now import legacy wallets (only after wallet is unlocked), but your new coins will not show up until after you restart siad.



- Starting Sia can take a while. For some people it's just a few seconds, but for others it's several minutes.





If you wish to import a legacy wallet:



1. Download 'Sia' and let it fetch the whole blockchain.



2. Unlock the wallet (before you unlock the wallet the first time, you need to initialize it. In the GUI, initialization is automatic. In the CLI, you can do `./siac wallet init`)



3. Load the legacy wallet. (in the GUI, there's a 'load legacy wallet' button. In the CLI, you can use `./siac wallet load 033x [filename]`)



4. after the wallet has loaded, you must restart 'siad' for the coins to show up You can stop siad by running `./siac stop`, or by killing the process from the task manager.

OK, it's not a big issue, but I didn't set any password to my wallet, now it's locked, and I have no idea which password to enter.



The first time you opened the wallet it gave you a password and told you to write it down. If you didn't grab it then, the only way to get it back is to stop siad, delete the wallet.json file, then start again.



You're not the only person who didn't get the password on the first try, we'll have to change it so that you can keep asking for the password until the first time you unlock the wallet (which requires the password). That at least guarantees that users realized there was a password before closing the window. The first time you opened the wallet it gave you a password and told you to write it down.
