If you need to recreate your wallet from an existing seed, use ./grin-wallet init -hr command.

3. Find grin-wallet.toml file in the current directory and edit it as follows: As you can see, we commented node_api_secret_path and added https://grincoin.org public node. You can also use https://grinnode.live:3413 node.
