BTCBAM Wallet Tutorial

This is the Btcbam wallet “My Wallet” page, it shows the following:

Balances

• Available
• Pending
• Total

Other Tokens

If we own any tokens, they’ll show here, including balance and contract info.

Transactions

This shows any transaction that may have taken place, both incoming and outgoing transactions are displayed, this includes staked coins as well.

Basic wallet functions

On the left side of the wallet, we can find basic wallet functionality such as:

• Send
• Receive
• Smart Contract
• Transactions (This is a more detailed and full historical set of transactions)

Send Menu

On the send menu, we have different functions, all are quite basic to learn and use.

Pay to: Here we’ll enter the address we want to send Btcbam to (Only Btcbam ignition addresses will work).

Label: Optional, as it’s stated, it’s just a name/tag

Amount: Here we enter the amount of Btcbam we want to Send

Once all fields are covered, we can click on the “Send” button and the Btcbam coins will be sent to the address we entered above.

Receive

Here we can display our Btcbam wallet address and even generate new ones!

This is useful for receiving payments from more than one sender and helps you keep track of each transaction.

To obtain the deposit address, simply click on “Request Payment” and you’ll see a popup dialog show up with your Btcbam wallet deposit address. Here you can receive coins from your exchange or from other users.

Wallet Encryption

First, let’s encrypt this wallet before making the backup, this will allow the backup to be encrypted as well. Go to settings -> Encrypt wallet.

Next, let’s enter the password for this wallet, please remember this password because without it you’ll lose access to your Btcbam.

Lastly, we get a warning reminding us to save/remember this passphrase as there’s no way to recover your Btcbam without it.

NOTE: On Btcbam, the wallet doesn’t restart after encrypting. After you see the above message, the wallet is already encrypted and ready to use.

Unlock Wallet

To unlock the wallet for sending and private key commands use Settings — Unlock Wallet to reach the Unlock wallet page.

Use the Unlock wallet page to completely unlock the wallet(uncheck the For staking only box). To unlock the wallet for staking only, follow the procedure for Staking below. NOTE If the wallet is unlocked for staking only on this Unlock wallet page, the Stake menu Staking button must also be clicked to the right to activate staking.

Wallet Backup

It’s recommended to make the backup after encrypting the wallet.

To access the backup option, we go into File/Backup Wallet and then we enter route and name.

After the backup’s name is entered and we’ve verified the route where the wallet is being saved to, we can click on save. Now we’ve successfully backed up our wallet.

Restore wallet backup

Go to File -> Restore wallet, this will open a dialog which will allow us to restore directly from the BTCBAM wallet!

Here we selected the wallet backup with the reindex option selected (salvagewallet can also be used if necessary).
