Wallets
This is an old revision of the document!

Wallets are simply a secure way to access your activity stored on the vast distributed Conceal.Network blockchain. Each wallet created has a unique address and private keys that belongs to the user that created the wallet. As long as your wallet is backed up properly, you will always be able to access your activity, even in the event of a computer hardware failure or you lose access to your personal computer.
Think of it like Gmail, where all you need to access your account is a browser and your username and password. You don't technically store the emails yourself, you simply access the emails that belong to your account.
Conceal.Network offers several wallet options:
- Command Line Wallet (CLI)
- Desktop Wallet (GUI)
- Web Wallet
- Mobile Wallet
- Paper Wallet
Each wallet comes with a unique address and private keys and the 25 word mnemonic seed. These provide the ability to restore your wallet.
The following guide will provide an overview and setup up for each wallet. If you have any additional questions, comments or issues, please contact us at:

Command Line Wallet (CLI)
The command line wallet is a wallet that requires you to enter commands for it to work. The CLI wallet, as the command line wallet is known, is the most stable of all the wallets, and is available for most major platforms. The only limitation is that deposits and investments are only supported on the GUI wallet.

Wallet Installation
Navigate to your download folder and extract the ZIP file. Run ccx-setup.exe and click Next in the Welcome window.
Choose Install location and click Next.
Choose Start Menu Folder and click Next.
Click Finish to complete Conceal Wallet setup.
Keep in mind! If you're using Avast Antivirus (or any other antivirus software) ccx-setup.exe file could be recognized as potentially harmful.
Although it is a false positive, your antivirus software can move the file to quarantine and/or send it for examination. If this happens, just follow your antivirus software's instructions and wait until you receive an email/notification that everything is okay.
Creating a new Wallet
Run Conceal Wallet by double clicking the Conceal Wallet icon on your desktop.
Click CREATE NEW WALLET.
Choose location for your wallet file and set the wallet name. Click Save.
Congratulations, your first Conceal wallet is almost ready! Just leave it running until it syncs with the block-chain.
Note: If the syncing doesn't start, close the wallet and reopen it. A popup will appear asking you to add exception to your firewall. After you confirm the exception, wallet will load and syncing will start.
When you synchronize the wallet with the block-chain, you store the block-chain locally and thus support the network. If you don't want to download the entire block-chain, you can also connect to a remote node. Note that when you connect to a remote node, additional transaction fees may apply.
To connect to remote node, click Settings and select Connection Settings. Select Automatic Remote Node, click SAVE and close the window.
You're all set now. The wallet should sync and be ready to use in a couple of minutes.
Wallet Backup
Backing up your CCX wallet is of extreme importance! If your hardware fails or you lose access to your computer, restoring wallet from a backup is the only way to regain access to your funds.
Click Wallet and select Backup Wallet
Click SHOW SEED and copy and/or write down your 25 word mnemonic seed.
Keep your mnemonic seed safe! If you lose it, your wallet cannot be restored and your funds are permanently lost! Additionally, you can also export your private keys and GUI key to restore your wallet from.
Wallet Encryption
Wallet encryption is an additional layer of security for your funds. If you encrypt your wallet, you need a password to gain access to it and to make transactions.
Click Wallet and select Encrypt Wallet.
Enter a password and click SAVE.
