Import your seed phrase

Performing a seed re-sync will WIPE your node completely before restoring your wallet from the given 24 word seed phrase.

Do not attempt to use any other MiniDapps whilst syncing is in progress.

MiniSwap Restore

If you have funds in MiniSwap, and you are importing your seed phrase, you will need to resync TWICE.
First restore your seed phrase with QuickSync, then open the MiniSwap app, put it in WRITE mode and set up your API keys. This will add the MiniSwap script to your node. You must then perform a chain re-sync to restore your MiniSwap coins.

Transaction History

Transaction history will be deleted so you may wish to download this from the Wallet MiniDapp before proceeding.

Restore your Seed phrase with QuickSync

dappmenu

  1. Login to your MiniHub and open the Security MiniDapp
  2. Select Restore node
  3. Select Import Seed Phrase
  4. Enter the IP:port of a Mega node. If you do not have one, you can use the example IP provided, megammr.minima.global:9001. Then select Next.
  5. Enter your Seed Phrase carefully. Then select Next.
  6. Enter the number of Keys to create, if unsure then leave this as the default of 64. Then select Next.
  7. Enter Key Uses, if you have never restored your seed phrase before, use the default of 1000. If you have, enter a higher number e.g. 2000. This should be the highest number of times you could possibly have used your keys r.g. for signing transactions. Then select Next.
  8. Select Restore
  9. Wait for the sync to complete, please be patient whilst the keys are recreated and the wallet is restored. The node will shutdown when complete.
  10. Restart the node for the restore to take effect. Then allow a few minutes for the node to connect to the network.

You will then be on the correct top block.

Legacy method (using an Archive file)

If your device is connected to Microsoft Onedrive, iCloud or another app which automatically syncs locally changed files to the cloud, please pause syncing for the duration of your node recovery process as they can interfere.

  1. Open the Security MiniDapp
  2. Select Archive reset
  3. Select Import seed phrase
  4. Upload an archive file. If you do not have one, you can visit our Discord server to get one or go to https://spartacusrex.com/archive and download the latest file.
  5. Continue to enter your seed phrase carefully
  6. Start the re-sync process, please be patient and leave the process to finish

Do not attempt to use any other MiniDapps whilst syncing is in progress.

  1. Restart the node for the import to take effect

From the Terminal (advanced)

Info

This process requires you to type your 24 word seed phrase into an online device. Please ensure your device contains no malware before proceeding. This process should ONLY be used if you have no backup!

  1. Set up a new clean node that you wish to restore to and login to Minima
  2. Open the Terminal MiniDapp
  3. Decide if you wish to resync using an archive file (recommended) or by connecting to a running archive node

Using an archive file (recommended):

Download an archive file and move it into your Minima data folder (the default location for exported files and backups). If you do not have one, you can visit our Discord server or go to https://spartacusrex.com/archive and download the latest file, then run the following command entering your seed phrase and setting your key uses.

Terminal
reset archivefile:archiveexport.gzip action:seedsync phrase:"TWENTY FOUR WORDS HERE" keyuses:

Using an archive host:

Alternatively, you can sync from a running archive node using its host ip:

Terminal
archive action:resync phrase:"YOUR 24 WORD SEED PHRASE HERE" keyuses: host:

Parameters:

  • host: Enter the ip:port of an archive node you wish to re-sync from e.g. 10.198.89.98:9001.
  • keyuses: (optional) How many times at most did you use your keys for signing a transaction.. Every time you resync with seed phrase this needs to be higher as Minima Signatures are stateful. Defaults to 1000 - the max is 262144 for normal keys.
  • keys: (optional) The number of public/private key pairs to generate. All nodes are created with 64 addresses so 64 is the default, if you used newaddress, you can specify more.
  1. Press Enter and enable logs by checking the box in the top right corner

Do not attempt to use any other MiniDapps whilst syncing is in progress.

  1. The restore will take a few minutes to begin and could take over 1 hour to complete, please be patient
  2. Once complete, the node will shut down
  3. Restart Minima and login to access your restored node
