General overview
Dashcoin works through 2 separate binary files operated through command line:
1. dashcoind.exe – daemon to synchronize the block chain and mine dashcoins.
2. simplewallet.exe – wallet to receive and send funds.
Usage guidelines
- Make sure that dashcoind.exe is running and synced when you start simplewallet.exe .
- Always use "exit" command to terminate both dashcoind.exe and simplewallet.exe to save current synchronization progress.
Install & Launch Dashcoin
1. Unzip the archive.
2. Download block chain archive and unpack it to C:\Users\%user_name%\AppData\Roaming\dashcoin\ - Download block chain
Daemon: synchronization & mining
After dashcoind.exe is launched you will have to wait until it is synchronized with the network. You will be notified with several green "SYNCHRONIZED OK" messages.
Here are the most important daemon commands:
| start_mining <wallet_address> [threads=1] | Start mining in several threads to a given wallet address |
| stop_mining | Stop mining |
| show_hr | Show current mining hashrate |
| hide_hr | Stop showing current mining hashrate |
| help | Show all daemon commands |
| save | Save block chain synchronization progress |
| exit | Save block chain and exit dashcoind |
Wallet: send and receive payments
Simplewallet.exe can only be used after the daemon is launched and synchronized.
Here are the most important wallet commands:
| address | Show your wallet address |
| refresh | Refresh your wallet balance |
| transfer <mixin_count> <address> <amount> | Send money to <address> with a mixing degree of <mixin_count> |
| start_mining <threads> | Start mining in daemon with several threads to the current wallet address |
| stop_mining | Stop mining in daemon |
| help | Show all wallet commands |
| exit | Exit simplewallet |
