Step 8: Installing your wallets

Note: If you're using BitGo as your wallet provider, follow the instructions under the BitGo tab above.

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

lamassu-coins

Use your arrow keys and space bar to select your desired 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.

There is no need to install Ethereum as we recommend the Infura wallet option for ETH, which is preinstalled.

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

To backup your Ethereum seed, 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
