In order to use Verium you will need to use a Verium wallet. A cryptocurrency wallet is a software used to store, send, and receive digital currency. It may be viewed as an account in the ordinary banking system that serves as online banking client as well. Instead of an account number your wallet comes with an address also known as public key. Cryptocurrency itself is not actually “stored” in a wallet, the blockchain keeps track of the balance of everyones address. Your wallet in fact stores your private and public keys. The wallet should run 24/7 to keep the network stable. Thus an energy efficient device is mandatory these days. It doesn't need much computing power.
IMPORTANT: Never share your wallet password or private key!
You also need a mining software to mine Verium and store it in your wallet.

Download Verium Mining Vault - Version 1.1 (New)

Released Oct 25, 2017 Release Notes Choose your preferred platform:

Installation Guides
Windows
Mac OS
Linux
Updated for Version 1.1
The whole thing as a script: [Download Shell script] or use
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DJoeDt/verium/master/install_Verium_Wallet.sh chmod +x install_Verium_Wallet.sh ./install_Verium_Wallet.sh
It will do what is described in the step-wise Manual Verium Wallet Installation .
In case you see ERRORS like -No such file... - it actually helps to run the script again since probably the installation of some dependencies failed.
Raspberry Pi
First step is the choice of an image for the RPi, the current "stretch" images do not work out of the box. Raspbian Jessie Full or Raspbian Jessie lite is what works.
Then proceed with the Linux script or the step-wise Manual Verium Wallet Installation .
To get the compilation working on Raspbian Stretch see this RPi Stretch Fix.
Source Code
- Follow the instructions within the Source Code Repository.
Technical Support Files
- Verium Blockchain for manual download.
How to include the blockchain manually in veriumd:
Download and save in verium subfolder
wget -O ~/verium/bootstrap_VRM.zip http://www.vericoin.info/downloads/bootstrap_VRM.zip
Unzip it
cd ~/verium unzip bootstrap_VRM.zip
Delete previous files
rm -rf ~/.verium/txleveldb rm -rf ~/.verium/blk0001.dat
Move unzipped files to .verium folder
mv ~/verium/bootstrap/blk0001.dat ~/.verium/blk0001.dat mv ~/verium/bootstrap/txleveldb ~/.verium/txleveldb
Securing your Wallet
The wallet stores private key information in a file named wallet.dat. It contains:
- keypairs for each of your addresses
- transactions done from/to your addresses
- user preferences
- default key
- reserve keys
- accounts
The wallet.dat file is located in
- Linux
~/.verium
- Windows
$UserDirectory$/AppData/Roaming/Verium
- Mac OS
~/Library/Application Support/verium/
Linux users of the veriumd make sure to use encryptwallet to excrypt your wallet with a passphrase.
Backup your wallet.dat in a secure place (USB drive, CD, ...).
Wallet Configuration & Usage
The wallet should run now, but we need to go to its directory
cd verium/wallet/src
and get info about this by:
./veriumd getinfo
Now stop the wallet
./veriumd stop
Configuration
It is configured in
nano verium.conf
scroll to its very end, the lines to configure are
rpcuser=YourSoloMiningName rpcpassword=YourSoloMiningPassword rpcallowip=YourAccessIP rpcallowip=localhost
You have to configure the IPs of the machines that should be able to connect. If you mine solo you have to come up with a username and a password for your miners to access the wallet.
Get your address
Now start the wallet again
./veriumd
The most important thing right now is your wallets address gotten by
./veriumd getaddressesbyaccount ""
Backup
Finally backup by
cp ~/.verium/wallet.dat somewhere/save/wallet.dat
To restore your wallet just do a fresh installation and replace the new wallet.dat with your saved one.
The most important thing you need to keep backed up is your private keys for your address(s) which are stored in the wallet.dat . Store & Secure both VeriCoin & Verium in One Paper Wallet [Paper Wallet Link]
Help
Learn how to use the Verium Daemon
./veriumd help
will print a wall of text with commands and
./veriumd help [command]
explains each further.
