This is the RPC monero wallet. It needs to connect to a monero
daemon to work correctly.

Note the wallet client RPC does not accept --regtest parameter

I am building a dev tool to further develop Monero <-> Decred atomic swaps

The requirements are:

1. 2 connected localhost net nodes
2. Manual mining
3. 2 or more wallets

Thanks

Did you try getting it working with a single node and single wallet first? If not, can you try to get this working first with minimal flags (no --regtest), and then add back your requirements until it fails.

[dev-warrior777]

Thanks for reply. I will definitely go that route today.

Actually 1 & 2 above are already working - 2 connected nodes with manual mining on regtest. Just no wallets connecting. I specifically use --no-zmq on the nodes .. could that be a reason? The wallet does not seem to be able to find a node even when given one explicitly --daemon-address 127.0.0.1:58081

Thanks again

[selsta]

--no-zmq should be unrelated for just regular wallets connecting

[dev-warrior777]

Ok, thank you.
I made good progress today with your suggestions, appreciated

Please close this issue.

If I can ride another question before closing: are stagenet coins different than testnet coins?

[selsta]

Stagenet and testnet are different, yes.

Stagenet is for testing your mainnet application, while on testnet we often test new protocol featurea early.

Ok, thanks .. let's close this issue.

Closed, thanks
