I constantly had issues to load profiles and looked at the code for a reason why I kept seeing "no such file or directory" and it seems that the path is only supplied when creating a new profile:

app.Peer = peer.NewCwtchPeer(name, password, path.Join(app.directory, name+".json"))

However during loading no path is supplied:

main.go:259   app.SetProfile(commands[1]+".json", string(bytePassword))
app.go:73 	profile, err := peer.LoadCwtchPeer(filename, password)
cwtch_peer.go:173 	encryptedbytes, err := ioutil.ReadFile(profilefile)

Does that make sense?

With

profile, err := peer.LoadCwtchPeer(path.Join(app.directory, filename), password)

it works:

Loaded profile for me

Until i fork the repo this is the patch:
