wallet support questions
Which wallet should I install?

We Recommend to install the full node wallet https://pirate.black/wallets/treasure-chest/

What is the difference between the Lite wallet and the Treasure Chest wallet?

Pirate provides several wallet options for different needs. The Treasure Chest wallet secures your funds by managing the Pirate blockchain on your computer.

The Lite wallet uses an offsite blockchain and is ideal for computers with lower resources.

How much disk space does a wallet take up?

A full node wallet occupies about 30GB of disk space.

I have just created a new wallet. How do I protect my wallet?

First things first, you should always back up your private key. To find it, go to your receiving addresses, right click on your z-address (every single z-address has it’s own private key) and click export private key.

This will bring up a screen where you can copy it and save it. It is highly recommended that you Encrypt the wallet and save it on a USB drive that you never plug in unless you need to retrieve your private key.

Is the Mobile Wallet anonymous?

There is little to no compromise on anonymity. There is a small amount of metadata leakage to the insight server. The insight server will know the IP address associated with wallet transactions, based on the witnesses requested by the wallet.

 

However, using a VPN would protect the user against that leakage.

Do I have to generate a new address for every transaction?

Whilst this is best practice with other coins due to the anonymity features of ARRR you do not have to do this. 

 

Of course exceptions apply, especially in the case when you have used an address to send funds to an exchange or posted it anywhere online. In these cases we do recommend generating a new address.

 

Please note, that by having too many addresses in a wallet holding ARRR, you are likely to negatively impact the performance of that wallet.

Why does my wallet take long to sync?

Is possible to sync faster by using the Bootstrap

(GUI)

  • Click on Settings option
  • Click on the Wallet tab
  • Use the Reindex and Rescan with bootstrap option.
  • Click on OK
  • Restart the wallet

(CLI) start the daemon with ./pirated -bootstrap=2

Note: The bootstrap is only supported on full node wallet

Exchanges have their own fee structure, which is out of the control of the Pirate Chain team.

What is a Spending Key (aka Private Key)?
