cant open my wallet.

Hi, i downloaded my wallet but i cant open it. Do i need to be able to open it in the future when ethereum goes live? It opens then imediately closes.

@rothy‌ it's not supposed to work until we're live in the winter.

Where and how can I confirm my purchase of ether?

* 1) Go to https://www.ethereum.org/
* 2) Scroll down to the bottom of the section "what is the ether sale?"
* 3) Enter / paste your ether address in the input field
* 4) Click the "Check balance" button

Rothy Hi. Just to confirm what the post says. Frm yr site have downloaded the wallet but it does not open. I understand that it will automatically open once ether is activated in the near future? Pl confirm.Thks.

The wallet is a .json file (text file) that contains important information, but currently cannot be used with the alpha clients. The alpha clients are running on something called the 'testnet', which is purely for testing. Only the final, release clients will be able to open the .json wallets, once ethereum is released and the network goes live.
