Synchronizing the Blockchain
Running XTCASHnetwork will start the network daemon, which will connect to the network and begin downloading and verifying the blockchain.
Because the blockchain is constantly growing, the file size always increases (the blockchain is currently over 1 GB), and our application must verify every block, which is both CPU and disk intensive. An SSD with at least this much free disk space is recommended, unless you plan to use remote nodes.
Using Checkpoints
You can sync a fresh chain from block 0 much quicker by using checkpoints. Follow this guide to learn more.
Windows
Run the XTCASHnetwork.exe executable extracted from the Windows binary rar:
Mac / Linux
Run the XTCASHnetwork binary extracted from the .zip or tar.gz download:
./XTCASHnetwork
Using cmdedition
With XTCASHnetwork still running in the background or another terminal/shell/command prompt, open cmdedition:
Windows
Run the cmdedition.exe executable from the extracted folder.
Mac / Linux
./cmdedition
Using cmdedition commands
cmdedition has a twin command system; a numerical shortcut for navigating the menu, and typed commands you can access directly. The more you use cmdedition the more typed commands you'll pick up. This guide is written using the written command system. Feel free to use the numbers associated with the command.

Exporting Keys
Each wallet is essentially, just a pair of keys (View Key and Spend Key) from which the public address is derived. It is very important to export these keys and back them up somewhere that is safe and secure (meaning somewhere reliable/permanent that no one else can access).
In the event of a lost or corrupted wallet file, computer crash, etc., the View Key and Spend Key are the only way to restore a wallet and recover the funds it holds.
DO NOT SHARE IT WITH ANYONE. Anyone who has these can access your funds and has complete control over your wallet.
To print your keys; at the menu type backup and press enter.
The View Key and Spend Key will appear. Copy them and store them safely and securely.

If you make a mistake or need to stop the transaction, type
cancelat any timeConfirm that the details are correct and enter
y. If something is amiss, enternand follow the steps againEnter your password
Depending on the amount you transfer, you may need to wait a while for confirmation. If you have had too many small incoming transactions, or the amount you wish to send is too large; either break up your transfer into several smaller amounts, or optimise your wallet.
#### Payment IDBecause transactions on the XTE, ETRX & XTCASH blockchain are privatized, in some situations a payment ID is necessary for the recipient to be able to determine where the payment came from, for instance when depositing to an exchange or other service.
You need it if you're sending assets to an exchange.
To send a transaction with a payment ID, enter it when prompted to.
Note that typically, the service/recipient will generate and provide the required payment ID.
Exiting the Wallet
Wallets loaded into the cmdedition client must be synced with the blockchain in order to properly calculate balance, view transaction history, etc.
It is important to properly save the wallet data before exiting cmdedition so that the synchronized data is not lost.
To save a wallet's data and exit; at the menu, type exit and press enter:
[XTCASH traaitt]: exit
