Troubleshooting (ReddCoin Core)¶
Support safety (read this first)
- Admins/devs will not DM you first. Keep support conversations public (Telegram group / GitHub issues).
- Never share your seed phrase, private keys, or
wallet.datwith anyone. - Use only official download links (https://reddcoin.com / https://redd.love / https://download.reddcoin.com). Beware look‑alike sites.
- If someone asks you to “verify” by sending coins, installing remote-control software, or sharing secrets (seed/private key), it’s a scam.
- When sharing logs/screenshots publicly, redact personal info (paths, IPs, usernames). Do not redact block hashes needed for fork checks.
- If you’re not sure what to back up (and where it lives), see Reference → Wallet files & locations in this knowledgebase.
This section is a curated, version-aware set of runbooks for the ReddCoin Core desktop wallet.
