Hi, I have seen a similar topic to what I’m asking here but no clear answer. This is a multipart enquiry. I would be grateful if questions can be answered with details please (if possible).
I am now attempting to install the Daedalus wallet. I have attempted to import the address created using the secret key but the key doesn’t show in the Daedalus explorer for some reason.
My questions are:
Is the secret key generated by cardano-cli supported by the Daedalus wallet? If so, why isn’t it listed in the Daedalus explorer when attempting to import? Is there something I’m doing wrong here?
Can I get the Daedalus wallet to read the block data already synced by the cardano-cli node that has been running for a few days now, or does Daedalus always need it’s own copy of block data? Does running Daedalus on a node mean that block data is duplicated? One copy for cardano-cli and one copy for Daedalus?
Yes, the Daedalus wallet runs its own node/wallet server. You would have to start the wallet from the command line and override the params but I have not found any docs about it. I think that is more of a headache than allowing the Daedalus wallet to finish syncing, unless you have bandwidth or hard-disk limitations.
Thanks for the reply. Yes I’ve read that article and tried the import.
The thing is that ‘I think’ the article is referring to importing a Daedalus secret key. This address was created using cardano-cli and not a Daedalus wallet. The method used to create the address was:
Based on my understanding, yes the cardano-cli was not design for this purpose. I replied earlier about another new post where our community members are getting stuck with this issue. It’s just the way it was design, cardano-wallet and cardano-cli appear to have separate use cases and so they are not 100% interchangeable. It might be worth to ask in the github repo to see what the devs have to say about it.
