error code: -18 error message: Requested wallet does not exist or is not loaded

Listwallets returns an empty array. And then when I load the wallet I get the original error message (top). The file wallet.dat exists though.

You gotta have the seed phrase, right? It's easier to just wipe that one and re-import! I read that issue might be linked to pruned nodes.

No seed phrases in bitcoin core!!! (at least it was last time I was awake which was in 2017 lol)

You're right! It's been a few years since I last reinstalled Bitcoin Core. I totally forgot about that.

Yes, I've opted for the pruned version. It's probably solved now. The loaded wallet name defaulted to "" somehow.

I think that's because wallet.dat used to be the default back when you could only have 1 wallet per node.

listwallets will give you a name (maybe ["wallet"], I actually never tested this part myself)

and then unloadwallet <walletnamefromlist>

Ok. My node is still syncing. Is this going to take like very long?

0 sats \ 3 replies \ @optimism 10h

Yes, but it should run with sync.

Tell me you don't run this on a raspberry pi 4 and you have nothing to worry about.

100 sats \ 2 replies \ @bitcoingraffiti OP 10h

Like until it's synced, or until it has worked through my current blockheight? I mean the wallet to load obviously.

Lol, no it's not on raspberry.
