ABOUT THE WALLET
The Electrum you know,
tuned for Vertcoin.
Electrum Vertcoin is the community’s own desktop wallet for VTC. It takes the Electrum client — the long-standing, open-source wallet protocol — and adapts it to the Vertcoin network, its servers and its addresses, so you can hold and send Vertcoin with nothing else to install.
It is built and published in the open by the Vertcoin community: MIT-licensed Python, every file listed before you install it, nothing hidden in the middle.

Electrum Vertcoin is quick because it does not re-check every block on its own: it verifies transactions against block headers and takes its view of the chain from an Electrum server, then checks the answers it receives locally instead of trusting them blindly. The server is relied on for availability, not for your coins — the wallet file and the recovery seed stay on your machine, and nothing else can move your funds.

What is Electrum Vertcoin?
Electrum Vertcoin is a lightweight desktop wallet for sending and receiving VTC. It uses simplified payment verification, so you do not need to download the full blockchain.
Do I need to download the full blockchain?
No. The wallet connects to Electrum servers to check transactions without storing the entire Vertcoin blockchain on your computer. You are ready to use it in a couple of minutes instead of waiting for a sync.
Where should I download the wallet from?
Only from the Download page of this site. Check the file name before you open it, and never install a wallet handed to you by someone in a chat or a direct message.
Is there a mobile app?
No. There is no official Android or iOS app for this wallet — it is desktop software for Windows, macOS and Linux. Treat any phone app using this name as unofficial.
Can I restore my wallet on another computer?
Yes. Enter your twelve-word recovery seed on the new machine and the wallet rebuilds your addresses and history, so you do not need to move any file. Copying the wallet file itself also works.
What happens if I forget my wallet password?
If you still have the recovery seed, create a new wallet from it and choose a new password. If the seed and the password are both gone, the funds cannot be brought back by anyone — there is no support desk that can reset a wallet.
My balance looks wrong or a payment is stuck. What now?
Most of the time this is a server that has not caught up. Pick another server in the network settings, let the wallet resync, and check your transaction id on a block explorer. A payment that shows as unconfirmed simply needs more time.
How do I keep my wallet safe?
Keep your recovery seed and private keys offline, never share them, and use a strong wallet password. Read the safety notes in the documentation before use; two-factor authentication is not supported in this client.
