Just playing around with Ethereum. I create my very first private-chain on a Windows machine..
First I'm starting up the node/miner:
D:\ethereum\gethlatest>geth --dev --rpc --rpcport 8002 --datadir
D:\ethereum\gethlatest\privatechain --ipcpath
D:\ethereum\gethlatest\privatechain console
This is running without an issue. Then I am going to create the first address which I will use to collect the Ethers that the miner will mine:
personal.newAccount('myPassword')
Then, I will start the miner:
miner.start()
It starts mining, with every block the miner mines, 5 Ether is being credited to the address I just created. No problems here.
Now, I am going to start the wallet client:
C:\Users\xx\AppData\Local\EthereumWallet\app-0.8.7>"Ethereum Wallet.exe" --rpc http://localhost:8002
Ethereum wallet is looking for peers, can't seem to find one. I'm clicking Launch When the wallet opens, I see the first address created with some Ethers in it. Good!
However, in the client terminal the first error appears:
[2016-10-28 09:50:53.617] [WARN] (ui: wallet) - %cUnhandled rejection UnknownError: Internal error opening backing store for indexedDB.open. color: red
Meanwhile in the client: I want to create another address/account. I want to send some ETH to it, just to play around. I choose "add account" and enter a password and the again for confirmation.
This doesn't work, in the client terminal:
2016-10-28 09:55:38.648] [ERROR] ipcProviderBackend - Send request failed { code: -32601, message: 'The method personal_newAccount does not exist/is not available' }
Any advice on how to fix this?
Thanks!
