  1. Visit the Neurai wallets page
  2. Download the Neurai-QT wallet for your operating system
  3. Save Portable version in a folder and excute it.

1. First Launch & Data Directory​

warning

In Windows, a warning message will appear the first time because it is not encrypted with a Windows developer key. If you ignore it the first time, it will not appear again.

When you open Neurai-QT for the first time you are asked where to store the blockchain data. Pick a location with at least several gigabytes of free space before synchronizing.

Choose the data directory for the Neurai blockchain
Point Neurai-QT to a dedicated data folder on your system.

The next window asks if you want to create a new wallet or restore one. This guide will be for creating a new wallet.

Create a new wallet to create 12 new words in BIP39 system.

warning

Neurai-QT generates 12 BIP39 words randomly, and it is recommended to copy them to various storage devices such as paper, an encrypted file with a strong password, or any other method, because these 12 words are what will allow you to restore your wallet in the future.

CRITICAL STEP: You'll be shown a 12-word seed phrase.

  • Write down these words in order on paper
  • Store the paper in a secure location
  • Never share your seed phrase with anyone
  • Never store it digitally (no photos, no cloud storage)
  • This is the ONLY way to recover your wallet

Example format:

1. word1    2. word2    3. word3    4. word4
5. word5    6. word6    7. word7    8. word8
9. word9    10. word10  11. word11  12. word12

Once confirmed, the node starts downloading headers and blocks. Allow the synchronization to reach 100% before attempting transfers.

info

The first time it may take about 24 hours to synchronize. This is normal because it must download the entire blockchain, and once downloaded, it will only need to update the latest blocks each time the wallet is run.
