User's Guide for Using HcashWallet on Computers

1.Download the Wallet

Go to the official website (https://h.cash). Click “Download Wallet” which is at the top of the page, and then choose “for Mac OSX 2.1.0.0”, or “for Windows 2.1.0.0” according to your computer operation system.

2.Run the Wallet

For Windows system, extract the downloaded document and run hshare-qt.exe; for OSX system, please run Hshare-Qt. For OSX system users, if you come across the problem that Hshare-Qt 'can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer, please find “Safety and Privacy” in your system preference, and choose “Still Open”.

3.Language Setting

Click Settings > Options, and then click display > user interface language > choose the language you want. Click OK and restart the wallet.

4.Wallet Synchronization

It is suggested to wait until the wallet is synchronized before operating the wallet (such as receiving coins, backing up, etc.) Usually, the wallet can automatically synchronize after running for 1-2 hours. Users who are badly in need of using the wallet are advised to download Hcash Wallet in advance. The synchronization time will be affected by the network speed of connecting Hcash blocks of your location. The synchronization may take as fast as a few minutes or as slow as one day. Please be patient.

5.Wallet Address

Click “Receive”, and you will see your wallet address.

6.Password Setup

Click Settings > Encrypt Wallet, and set your code according to instructions. Please keep your code carefully. When you are trading Hshare/Hcash using the wallet, this code will be used. Please remember your code well, and you’d better write it down, or record it in some place that others are not able to find. Forgetting your code means losing all of your Hshare/Hcash, and no one can help you resume your coins unless you remember your code again.

7.Backup Your File

Click File > Backup Wallet, and then rename your file and choose the output location. Please do not put the backup file in the same computer in case of computer breakdown, rooting or losing. It is suggested to save the file in your USB, mobile HDD, or CD. The safety of your digital currency wallet is the safety of your financial property. Please be responsible for your own property security.

About Resuming Your Backup

If you change your computer, or your computer is rooted, this step tells you how to resume your Hshare wallet. Re-download the Hcash wallet in your new computer, and wait for the synchronization. Find the following route in disk C:

C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\HShare

Note that the Appdata is a hided file, and you can input it manually. Open the Hshare file, and rename “wallet” as “wallet1”. Then rename your backup file as “wallet”, and drag it into the above route. There will be two files, wallet and wallet1 in this folder. Reopen the wallet and wait for synchronization. Set the code and backup again.
