1 Install Java 8, then make sure java -version in Terminal returns 1.8. [If it returns an older version such as 1.7, create a symlink to your new version
On Mac OS X, (the following is ONE command):
[code]sudo ln -fs "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java" /usr/bin/java[/code]
Confirm by typing java -version again, should return 1.8 now.

2  Download latest release from [url=http://bob.nem.ninja]http://bob.nem.ninja

[code]./nix.runNcc.sh[/code]

6  head over to [url=http://localhost:8989/ncc/web/index.html]http://localhost:8989/ncc/web/index.html


Great, thanks for that.

    Connect NCC to NIS over SSH tunnel.


      [li]Start nis on remote node[/li]
      [li]create a tunnel from local node to remote node:

        [li]ssh -L 7890:localhost:7890 remoteNode[/li]

        [/li]
        [li]start NCC on localnode[/li]


        Same can be done under windows using putty.

Quick post to say hello as I've just joined the board. Been following NEM on BTT for quite a few months now and great to see the fruits of everyones labour.

The client is working well for me on OSX using Chrome. Definitely the best altcoin alpha I have tried to date. Looking forward to see what the future holds.

I've cheekily added my nem address below, would appreciate some test coins to play with.

Thanks for the nem chaps.

How do I transfer a wallet from one pc to another? I figure I just add my pre existing private key for the address in the original wallet to a new wallet on the new pc, however, I have no idea how to find my private key?

Secondly, do NEM wallets require frequent backups like bitcoin or are they generated from a seed pass which is sufficient to generate all keys in the wallet?

#8

Ok, well I answered one of my own questions:

On Windows, your wallet file is saved in "my documents/ncc/wallet.wlt"

On OSX, your wallet file is saved in "/home/you/ncc/wallet.wlt"

I was able to freely move these between computers.

This suggests to me the treatment is more like bitcoin. I.e you will need a backup of your wallet to recover your addresses, having the password alone is not enough.

I am still not sure how to actually extract the private keys of encrypted wallets though?

there is a wallet file and if you are on Win it is located in your username/ncc folder. You just need that. It contains your private keys. This is the only thing that you need to worry about.
No, I believe there are no seeds at the moment. The password on your wallet is only the password that locks your wallet. It is not seed.

I guess that option will be available under Accounts on the left menu bar in Beta or in final version.
What we have now is core alpha testing version that has a minimum of functionality, but enough for us to see what the devs were working on.
I'm very happy how it runs in alpha. I'm very excited about future releases and what will they bring.

Do you have java 8 installed?

Hi all!

Noob here, and I am having a few issues that are most likely due to my noob'ish'ness.

I downloaded the package. Ran NIS, ran NCC, opened localhost link in Chrome. Created wallet. Booted node. Set wallet as primary account.

Now here is where I am confused. How do I encrypt/add key to my wallet? I followed the instructions in the first post but get this error:

Oops!
ERROR 306
An error occurred that the development team did not have foreseen. Apologies for this, maybe a retry might help. Otherwise, please open up an issue within the NEM NIS/NCC community

Also, how do I know if everything is working? Do I have to click 'start harvesting'? Because when I do, I get the same error as above.

Any help would be appreciated!
