Describe the bug
I'm not entirely sure. The GUI says the tor daemon has stopped unexpectedly, however tor is 100% bootstrapped. The error below seems to be the actual problem. This could also be a connection issue with the backend node, which works fine with wallets such as Feather - it's unclear if a connection is ever established. Input required may also be an issue, as mentioned in #240

Lost/trapped Funds
No

I tried wiping the seed.pem (maybe this is the "wallet"?), but it was just recreated with the same error. Lmk what else I can try or info I can provide

This happens when the program crashes and the monero-wallet-rpc process isn't killed. You can just kill the process manually (pkill -f monero-wallet-rpc) and then restart the app. We're close to finishing a big refactor (#303) that fixes this.

I was coming back to report that the software was functioning after a reboot. Thanks for your quick reply. I'm still having backend connection issues, however, as mentioned in #240 - happy to wait for the refactor. Thanks for your work on this project
