The Dash network will increase data over time. Since you are saving a copy of the blockchain, you will need to make sure you have enough storage on the drive you choose to run the Dash Core wallet.
- Download the software that meets your desktop requirements. (Windows 64 bit, Windows 32 bit, macOS, Linux)
- Launch the wallet. The first time you open the wallet, depending on your internet connection, it could take several hours. The wallet needs to download a copy of the blockchain and fully synch.
- Encrypt the wallet. Type a difficult and unpredictable passphrase that is IMPOSSIBLE to guess yet easy to remember.
- Go to Settings => Encrypt Wallet.
- Enter a password and confirm the password. Do NOT forget this password. Forgetting your password could result in lost Dash.
- Restart the wallet to complete the encryption.
- Go to Settings => Encrypt Wallet.
- Confirm you can unlock your wallet. (Notice the lock icon in the bottom right.) Select Settings => Unlock Wallet => Enter passphrase. (The icon now indicates the wallet is unlocked.)
- Enable Coin Control & Show Masternodes Tab. Go to Dash Core => Preferences and select Wallet tab. Check Enable coin control features and Show Masternodes tab. Then click OK.
- You are now ready to receive Dash. Click on the receive tab and generate a new address.
