|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
listWallets: [{
|
|
|

|
status: "Online, can derive public keys",
|
|
|
|
|
url: "pcsc://a4d73015"

}]
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Open the wallet, you will be prompted for your pairing password, then PIN:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
personal.openWallet("pcsc://a4d73015")
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
