The features and functionality are so well thought out it makes reading the documentation enjoyable! because it allows me to learn as I read and then program the smart contracts with what functionality I need. The forum has been a tremendous help of connecting the best way to add the functionality I need and guiding me into understanding what I haven’t done before or was confused on. It’s excellent.

The documentation says in link above for account A the --rekey-to flag is to be account B. So is there any way to just reset the mnemonic password for account A? Or only way is to rekey account A by making account B the “spending key” for account A. Account B’s mnemonic password is now responsib…

Both the base64 representation of a private key and the private key mnemonic are considered private keys. This is what I called mnemonic phrase (25 words). Is the assumption that the (base64 private key) is used to make the “public key”. Public key being what I called “wallet account address”, an…

Separating out the errors from this topic. Will retry node and see if errors happen again.
