Getting Started
Verified against: Pinned source and release revisions, Qwertycoin mainnet where applicable, 2026-09-29.
Published-release track: Core and GUI
v2.0.2. Verified 2026-09-29 UTC.
1. Choose a wallet
Desktop GUI: easiest full wallet; downloads and verifies chain data through a local or selected daemon. See Desktop GUI Wallet.
CLI wallet: operator/developer interface included in the Core archive. See CLI Wallet.
Web Wallet: current browser client at https://wallet.qwertycoin.org/. See Web Wallet for its trust and backup model.
Wallet RPC: integration service, not a consumer wallet. Keep it private and authenticated. See Wallet RPC Setup.
There is no supported paper-wallet generator, Zero wallet, or current native mobile-wallet release in this documentation.
2. Download and verify
Download only from the official Core or GUI release. Verify the archive against the release SHA256SUMS file before extracting it. Checksums detect corruption or substitution relative to that file; they are not publisher signatures.
See Downloads and Verification.
3. Create and protect the wallet
Create a new wallet in GUI or
qwertycoin-wallet-cli.Record the mnemonic seed offline. Never paste it into a website, support chat, issue, or log.
Use a strong wallet password; it encrypts the wallet file but cannot repair a lost seed.
Record an appropriate restore height near the creation block/date.
Receive a small test amount and verify the address before using larger amounts.
Primary addresses normally begin QWC…; current mainnet subaddresses use a different encoded prefix and commonly begin Qqb…. Validate addresses with current software rather than checking only visible characters.
4. Wait for synchronization and unlock
A wallet can show an incoming transaction before it is confirmed or spendable. The daemon and wallet heights must catch up. Coinbase/mining/service-reward outputs use the compiled Coinbase maturity rule; normal transfers use their transaction unlock rules.
