thanks for persevering and for the feedback.
The duplicate payments should be fed back to the team - will you open an issue for that? I may be blame for needing a local wallet so will look into that.
I’ll update my instructions later 
Unfortunately Registers won’t update any more so I can’t add your site to the list ATM. I’ve filed it another issue for that.
If you keep trying it should work eventually. I found that this worked most of the time but occasionally fail at this point (from VPS). Were you using VPS for your attempts? I can do very little with the network over my mobile b/b.
I don’t think this is correct. I have only an empty ~/.local/share/safe/autonomi/wallets directory on my VPS so maybe you have something lying around that is confusing things, or hadn’t set something in the environment at that point?
