Bitcoin Core

Bitcoin Core is a Windows utility that gives you access to an electronic wallet with virtual currency. There are options to make transfers, use cryptocurrency for purchases, view account data, and more. The application takes up a lot of space on the drive and also requires a network connection.

Synchronization and encryption

At the first stage, the user should turn on the utility and enter the data from his online wallet. Then the program will start a long synchronization process. This procedure may end after a few hours. However, in some situations, a person will have to wait for more than a day. When synchronization is complete, the user will be able to use the full functionality of the computer utility. The developers of the utility recommend protecting the data of the virtual wallet. Especially for this purpose, the program has an option to encrypt the user account. During this procedure, the user will be asked to come up with a password, which should consist of at least ten characters.

Making transactions

On the start page of the utility the user can check the current balance of the virtual account. It also shows data about the latest transactions. If necessary, a person can transfer cryptocurrency to other accounts, as well as pay for various goods and services. It should be noted that the creators of the utility take a commission from each transaction made.

Requirements

To be able to use the program, you need a device with at least two gigabytes of RAM, as well as a drive with a reading speed of at least one hundred megabits per second. However, for comfortable use, you need a PC with better components. Also, the utility requires a stable Internet connection.
