Here is the Tornado Bismuth Wallet Startup Guide.

Overview

Issue: The Tornado Bismuth Wallet fails to start because it needs an updated server list, but the default API is inaccessible.

Solution: Manually specify a server IP and port from a backup API URL that’s synchronized to the latest block height.

Windows OS Hotfix

1. Get a Valid IP and Port:

2. Create a Batch File:

  • Create a text file named tornado.txt and then rename it to tornado.bat.

3. Add Launch Commands:

  • If the Tornado Wallet and your batch file are on the same drive, use:
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\TornadoWallet"
"TornadoBismuthWallet.exe" --server=192.99.34.19:8150
  • If they are on different drives, use:
C:
cd /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\TornadoWallet"
"TornadoBismuthWallet.exe" --server=192.99.34.19:8150

4. Save and Run:

  • Save the file and double-click tornado.bat to launch your Tornado Wallet with the manually selected IP.

macOS Hotfix

  1. Create a Shell Script:
  • Open a text editor and create a file named tornado.sh.
  1. Add Launch Commands:
#!/bin/bash
open "/Applications/Tornado Bismuth Wallet.app" --args --server=192.99.34.19:8150
  1. Make the Script Executable:
  • In Terminal, run:
chmod +x tornado.sh
  1. Execute the Script:
  • In Terminal, run:
./tornado.sh

Use these steps to manually set a connection IP for Tornado Bismuth Wallet when the default API is inaccessible. Always ensure the chosen IP is at the latest block height for a successful connection.
