Download the latest wallet for Windows, Mac, or Linux: CureCoin GitHub Releases
Important: CureCoin v2.0 is a mandatory update. Older wallets must be updated to this version (or newer) to work correctly. If you used CureCoin in the distant past (pre-2018), you may need to resync the entire chain if you recently tried syncing with your 1.0 wallet.
The blockchain, wallet.dat, and configuration files (curecoin.conf) are located in the following hidden folders:
| OS | Path |
|---|---|
| Windows | C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Roaming\curecoin |
| Linux | ~/.curecoin |
| Mac | ~/Library/Application Support/curecoin |
If the wallet does not sync immediately, please be patient. Let the wallet run for a few hours to find nodes.
Optional Port Forwarding: If your wallet has 0 connections or is not syncing after a long period, you may need to ensure your network allows incoming connections.
- Port Forward: Forward TCP port
9911on your router to the wallet PC IP address. - This is generally only required if you wish to help the network by accepting incoming peer connections.
Seed Nodes:
If you cannot connect, you can manually add seed nodes to your curecoin.conf file using IPs found on the Network 'Node List':
addnode=111.111.111.111
addnode=222.222.222.222Network Stats:
You can find nodes to use for addnode if need be on the network tab of the block explorer.
- Research Rates: Team Stats Page
- Blockchain Status: CureCoin Block Explorer
These instructions are for compiling the wallet yourself.
- GUI Client (
curecoin-qt): Recommended for most users. - Headless Client (
curecoind): Command-line only, best for servers/expert users.
