Step 9: Installing your wallets

This article is part of the Admin Setup (Step-by-Step) guide.

While in your server's terminal, install the wallets for the cryptocurrencies you intend to offer by running this command:

lamassu-coins

Do not select all cryptocurrencies at once. Rather, choose only those which you will initially offer. As each coin's wallet will begin syncing its blockchain, the more coins you initially select, the slower the syncing process will be.

Only select Ethereum if you had previously chosen the compatible droplet settings and block storage size.

Syncing the blockchains will take between 24 – 48 hours. During this time you will be able to place funding deposits to your wallets (see subsequent steps), however the machine will not be able to send transactions until the chains are synced.

Wallet Backups

If you've installed Ethereum, after the install script completes, run:

lamassu-mnemonic

Write the output down someplace safe in the order presented. This will back up your Ethereum seed.

However, your other wallet files (Bitcoin, Zcash, etc.) ought to be backed up by hand: Wallet Backups
