Oh, not the Dojo itself. It was the Dojo maintenance tool. Never mind that part. But WP GUI won't do shit for me. Doesn't tell me anything, whether it's done d/l'ing a new CLI or whatever. And online guides are clearly written for ppl that know all this stuff already. How do they expect a non-tech guy to get this and unravel all these roadblocks. This should be this fucking hard.

Maybe Uninstall gui and stay fresh with pairing your payload from wallet? It is certainly a learning curve. But anything worth doing is typically difficult. Keep at it!! 😁😁🍻
I don't understand how a node works, your first sentence doesn't mean anything to me because I don't understand the underlying manner in which it works. But you have my gratitude for taking some time to help out. Cheers.
<3 you're so close I feel, and maybe you just identified where the issue is! Let's see.
Uninstall your whirlpool, reinstall, and let's start from scratch.
When you first initialize whirlpool gui after install:
Select: standard standalone gui.
Then it should ask you for a payload (essentially, this is linking your samourai wallet to the whirlpool gui). You get this from your samourai wallet ( top right corner 3 little dots. Settings, transactions, pair to whirlpool gui). Enter that payload in to the whirlpool gui.
Then, you need to make sure you enable tor (its a tiny little slider in the whirlpool pool gui)
Then click initialize. This should Then prompt you for a password (this is your samourai wallet password you setup when creating it).
Here is a good resource that isn't too technical too!! https://docs.samourai.io/whirlpool/desktop
Goodluck!!!
