"The old .net GUI is way obsolete, yes. Don't use. You won't be able to sync with it."
So I am just wasting my time trying to get the GUI to work. That just takes me back to attempting to restore my wallet on the command line wallet; with it not recognizing the command: ./monero-wallet-cli --restore-deterministic-wallet.
From (https://www.monero.how/tutorial-restore-monero-command-line-wallet-from-seed), the following is what I am supposed to encounter when I input the command:
[wallet 47CL7F]: ./monero-wallet-cli --restore-deterministic-wallet Creating the logger system Monero 'Wolfram Warptangent' (v0.10.0.0-release) Logging at log level 0 to /Users/dre/Downloads/monero.mac.x64.v0-10-0-0/./monero-wallet-cli.log Specify wallet file name (e.g., MyWallet). If the wallet doesn't exist, it will be created. Wallet file name: mywallet The wallet doesn't exist, generating new one password: **** password: **** Specify Electrum seed: locker welders womanly lodge gumball selfish altitude dewdrop terminal nagged exit acquire hookup ashtray wobbly nineteen duration duties javelin patio baffles ambush bamboo bite nineteen Restore from specific blockchain height (optional, default 0): 0 Generated new wallet: 47CL7FiNtW417VjzWt9Zse8Z8URhaHaA2L9jJq6rrLtDhiYK9PfbCavhhMKws9xEdKHBeGcQtJmPt4uEMivooNztC5UkHLD View key: 005c98c3db115140289bd0dfad97f910e6eeb5e8e12d02fdd4ab2373fbe9110a
Your wallet has been generated!
The problem here is apparently that this maneuver generates a new wallet with a new password; then it allows you to enter the 25-word seed... which should bring up the existing/to-be-restored wallet. Yet it goes on to state that it generates a new wallet... with a new address. Then to further confuse me, it states that "your wallet has been generated"... which could mean restored.
But all of my ranting is useless as the line command wallet does not recognize the first command.
Maybe I have just shot myself in the foot by erasing all traces of all Monero files from my system, in order to start over. But I do have the 25-word mnemonic; so, at some point in the future, I should be able to retrieve my funds. And right now, that's all I ask.
