Tip: if you are impatient you can download most of the block chain through your browser here. Your wallet must basically download the entire transaction history, so give it some time. This is because all transactions are saved in something called a block chain. When you first run the program it takes a while to sync.

Below is what the default Windows 7 firewall looks like. Make sure the boxes are checked, then allow access if prompted.

Just install the wallet like a normal program instead. Note: version 1.5.1 onward uses an installer instead of zipped file.

(A large transaction may pull from multiple addresses, which may result in multiple "change" addresses). This may create a new address for you, so also back up your wallet after ~100 transactions or after very large transactions. Similar to how you receive a $5 and four $1's if you give someone a $10 bill to pay for something that cost $1, sometimes you receive Doge back from a transaction. If you create many addresses yourself (going beyond the initial 100) or manually add private keys (such as via paper wallet), these additional keys will not be saved in the original backup, so you must make a new backup.Īnother scenario that creates new addresses is called "change". As a result, the frequency of backups depends on how many addresses you create. When you first run the local wallet, it creates 100 key pairs for you (with a public key revealed each time you hit "new address") and saves them all in the first backup you make. That way, you can't spend your coins then restore from a backup to get them back.Įach secret key is paired with a public key (the receive address).
Your wallet does not actually save the coins themselves, but a secret key that gives you ownership of coins in the blockchain.
