Okay so now that we have the Wallet application downloaded verified and extracted and our persistent
directory in this lecture I'm going to show you how to run this application and use it to create a more
narrow wallet.
Now as I said in the previous lecture the file that runs the Wallet application is this one.
It is a batch file.
Therefore it needs to be executed from the terminal to do this.
We can start a terminal in the current working directory by right clicking the directory that we want
to open the terminal in and click on open in terminal.
As you can see you'll get a terminal window but this terminal is already in persistent Monaro DUI which
is the directory that we requested.
The terminal in which is again persistent Monaro DUI.
Now we can use the L S command and hit enter to see all of the directories and files in the current
working directory.
And as you can see all of these files and directories are identical to what we see in here and what
we want to do is we want to execute this file right here.
The statue I got as hedge.
Again we can see it in here and to execute it all we have to do is type dot forward slash followed by
the file name which is touch you.
I dot as h head enter.
Give it some time and the wallet graphical interface will start for you.
You can use the language here to change the language or click on continue.
If you're happy with English.
Now we're going to have to use the advanced mode in here because we're going to use this wallet on tables
and we'll have to manually configure it to use an online service to sync with the Monaro block chain.
So I'm going to click on advanced mode and as you can see now the steps that we're going to go through
are very similar to the steps that we went through when we created the electronic Bitcoin wallet.
So the first option will allow us to create a new wallet.
The other options will allow us to restore an existing wallet.
You can restore from a hardware device from a wallet file or from a seed or a key.
Now we don't have a wallet yet.
So we're going to click on Create a new wallet to create a new wallet.
Now the first thing it's going to ask us for is the wallet name.
And I'm going to call this John Wick wallet next you'll have to set the wallet location.
Keep in mind on tails everything gets deleted every time you restart the computer.
Therefore if you keep this to the default location your wallet will be deleted.
Once you restart tales and you'll have to restore it using the seed in here if you don't want this to
happen.
If you want to always be able to access the wallet from your tools installation click on browse and
change the location to somewhere within the persistent directory.
Now as we know everything within the persistent will not be deleted when the computer restarts.
And therefore you'll always be able to access the wallet from within your current installation.
So you'd want to navigate to the persistent directory and as you can see we already have a directory
called Monaro DUI.
This is the directory that contains the wallet DUI that we're using right now.
So it will make sense to place our wallet inside it in here.
So I'm going to click on this icon in here to create a new directory.
And I'm going to call this directory wallets and I'm going to click on choose to store my wallet inside
this directory.
So my wallet is going to be stored in home amnesia persistent Monaro DUI I wallets and as you can see
we have the directory here created because we created it within this working directory.
Now it's also a good idea to copy the seed which you can use to restore the wallet in case the file
got deleted or if you wanted to use the wallet from a completely different computer.
You can restore your wallet using the seed and you can use this number in here as the block number when
restoring your wallet and using this number will help you restored the wallet much quicker once it's
done with everything click on Next.
Now it's going to ask us to set a password for the wallet
it's going to ask you for the demon settings so you can keep this to the default which will start a
node automatically in the background on your system.
This option will download the whole Monroe block chain on your computer.
This is the most private way of using Monroe.
But keep in mind the size of the block chain is more than 25 gigabytes.
So you'll have to wait.
So first of all you need to up enough storage.
Second you'll need to wait for all of this data to be downloaded.
Keep in mind the download speed is reduced when you're use entails because everything is going through
the Tor network.
Third this is a resource hungry process so you need a powerful enough computer to do that.
Alternatively you can click on Connect to a remote node with this option.
We're going to use a remote node to sync with the monorail block chain.
This means that we'll be able to instantly use the block chain will be instantly able to send and receive
funds and we won't need to download the whole block chain.
So in order to use this option we need a remote server that will sync with ADD.
I'm going to include links in the resources to a Web site where you can get online services that can
be used as nodes.
All you'll have to do is literally copy the server in here.
And paste it in the server location and set the port to the port that we have in here which is 1 8 0
9 9 hip next.
It's going to show you a review of all the settings that you selected.
We're going to say yes that's fine.
Open the wallet for me please.
And as you can see this will show us the interface of the wallet.
Now as you can see it's telling us that we are disconnected.
But now it's trying to connect is trying to sync with the remote node that we gave it and you'll see
that this will be very very quick unlike the other option where you start the node locally in which
you'll have to wait for the whole block chain to be downloaded which like I said is over 25 gigabytes
and perfect as you can see the wallet is synchronized the demon is synchronized if we click on the account
in here we'll be able to access our account page and as you can see we have zero fonts because we literally
just created the wallet and that's it.
Right now we have our monorail wallet created using the wallet in here is very similar to electoral
as you can see we have the accounts page which shows a summary of the account we can use the center
sent funds received to get the receipt address and receive funds and transactions to see our transactions.
Don't worry about all of this we will use this more in the next lectures and you'll get very comfortable
with it.
