General overview

Karbowanec works through 2 separate binary files operated through command line:

  1. karbowanecd – daemon to synchronize the blockchain and mine krbcoins.
  2. simplewallet – wallet to receive and send funds.

Make sure to place these files in one separate folder.

Install Karbowanec

  1. Unzip the archive to one separate folder. Karbowanec will generate additional data files and log files in the same directory. The blockchain data is stored in ~/.karbowanec on Linux/Unix systems, C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\karbowanec on Windows or in ~/Library/Application support/ on Mac OS.

Launch Karbowanec

  1. Open karbowanecd

  2. Wait until karbowanecd is synchronized. This may take a while. You will be notified with several green "SYNCHRONIZED OK" messages.

  3. Open simplewallet.

Daemon: synchronization and mining

After karbowanecd is launched you will have to wait until it is synchronized with the network. You will be notified with several green "SYNCHRONIZED OK" messages. Here are the most important daemon commands:

  • start_mining <SECRET_SPEND_KEY> <SECRET_VIEW_KEY> [threads=1] Start mining in several threads to a given wallet
  • stop_mining Stop mining
  • show_hr Show current mining hashrate
  • hide_hr Stop showing current mining hashrate
  • help Show all daemon commands
  • exit Exit karbowanecd

Please refer to Mining guide for more info.

Wallet: send and receive payments

Simplewallet can only be used after the daemon is launched and synchronized. Simlewallet automatically synchronizes with karbowanecd. Here are the most important wallet commands:

  • address Show your wallet address
  • balance Show current wallet balance
  • transfer <mixin_count> <address> <amount> Send money to <address> with a mixing amount of <mixin_count>
  • start_mining <threads> Start mining in daemon with several threads to the current wallet address
  • stop_mining Stop mining in daemon
  • help Show all wallet commands
  • exit Exit simplewallet
