Using the Android Wallet

In order to use the Android Wallet, the user will first require an account. While sometimes confusing, in the industry this account is also often referred to as a 'wallet'.

If you do not already have an account (wallet) on DCore, you will need to create a new wallet before using the Android Wallet application.

Accounts created previously on DCore using DECENT Go and the cli_wallet application are compatible with the Web Wallet (as are the wallet files created with them), therefore compatible with Andoid Wallet.

Android account accessibility

All DCore accounts can be activated on Android Wallet, however only by using QR code in a Web Wallet.

When you have a wallet account, information on Logging In can be found here and Logging Out, here.

General usage is described in The Android Wallet's Main Menu, Making Payments and Requesting and Receiving Payments.

Most of the above are also covered with less verbose step by step Mini Tutorials in case you need a quick-start or brief reminder.
