@xiaojay do you have a contact for me to send you my current issue in more detail? It seems my transaction is not showing even with the node synced completed. I was able to see the transaction and confirmed yesterday, but not anymore. I tried to re-install and resynced the node. Thanks, ---

The name of Niffler is followed the harry potter tradition in grin community 🙂 > **[Niffler](https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Niffler)** > > The Nifflerwas a magical beast with a long snout and a coat of black, fluffy fur.1 They were attracted to shiny things, which made them wonderful for locating treasure, but that also meant that they could wreak havoc if kept (or set loose) indoors.1... ---

Hedwig relay server is not fully open sourced right now for some security reason. you cloud checkout the old and original version [https://github.com/xiaojay/socket-tunnel](https://github.com/xiaojay/socket-tunnel) It will be fully open sourced in the future. ---

Man thank you for this great wallet. This one is far more faster, and easier to use than others. All went fast and ok. One thing I can not find, my seed in the app. I wrote it down on piece of paper, and now I want to check once again before reinstall of OS my seed is it correct, just to be sure, but I can not find the option. Looking foward to mobile version, thanks a bunch for this app. ---

No checking option for this version of Niffler, sorry. Maybe add it on next versoion. The easy way to check seeds is install Niffler on another computer, and try the restore option. ---

Niffler is running great! I love it. Quick question, if I wanted to back up my wallet onto an external drive, which files would I backup? I did a ctrl+f on this thread but didn’t see anything. Thanks again. I’m using macos ---

Hi, I’m still having trouble finding wallet\_data on my mac. I used finder to search for ‘grin’ ‘.grin’ ‘main’ and ‘wallet\_data’, but still couldn’t find it. Is this file hidden or something? Not indexed? Sorry, I’m just not very great with computer basics. On a side note, I think a ‘backup wallet’ feature would be neat to have in niffler. ---

open a terminal app. type following command: cd ~/.grin/main ls will show “wallet\_data” dir. sorry, I don’t know how to do it use gui tools ---
