Get started · Scrypt proof-of-work memory chain

Get started with
Tracercoin.

Tracercoin (TFX) is a Scrypt proof-of-work memory chain. Three ways to join the network: install the desktop wallet, point your hardware at the mining pool, or run your own full node. Follow the written steps below — and watch the Winslow video walkthroughs, right here on the page.

Free to join. No purchase, no token sale — TFX is earned by mining. New here? What Tracercoin is.

Network status: launch phase. The Tracercoin mainnet is live and the wallet, pool, and node tools are coming online. Set up now using the guides below, see the live status board, and join the waitlist to be notified the moment each piece opens.

Path 1

Install the desktop wallet

Windows installer available now

The Tracercoin wallet is a standalone desktop app you run on your own computer. It holds your keys, syncs the chain, and lets you send and receive TFX.

  1. Download

    Grab the Tracercoin Core wallet from the official GitHub release (Windows installer). Verify its SHA-256 against the SHA256SUMS.txt on that release before you run it — and use only the v0.21.5.5-rc1 build, not any older brandtest.

  2. Add a peer & sync

    Because Tracercoin just launched, automatic peer discovery isn't populated yet — so add the launch node once: put the line addnode=159.65.188.80 in your tracercoin.conf and restart, or open Window → Console and run addnode 159.65.188.80 add. The wallet then connects and verifies the blockchain — you'll see the peer count and sync progress at the bottom of the window.

  3. Encrypt & back up

    Set a strong wallet passphrase, then back up your wallet file. Write down your recovery details and keep them offline — whoever holds the keys holds the coins.

  4. Send & receive

    Use the Receive tab to generate a tfx… address, and the Send tab to pay one. That's it — you're on the network.

New network — add the launch peer. Tracercoin just went live, so seed discovery isn't populated yet. Point your wallet at the launch node once — addnode=159.65.188.80 in your tracercoin.conf (then restart), or addnode 159.65.188.80 add in Window → Console. Without a peer the wallet stays at 0 connections and can't sync.

Path 2

Start mining on the pool

Have Scrypt hardware — an Antminer L7 / L3+ or a GPU rig? Point it at the community pool, contribute hash power, and earn newly minted TFX for the blocks your hardware helps find.

  1. Create a worker

    Sign in to the miner portal and add a worker. Your rig logs in with account.worker (your account name plus the worker) and the worker password you set. Rewards go to the payout address on your account.

  2. Point your rig

    In your miner's settings, set the Scrypt stratum URL to pool.tracercoin.org:3333 and enter your worker credentials.

  3. Watch it work

    The portal dashboard shows your live hashrate, shares, blocks found, and payout history — round by round.

Path 3

Run your own full node

For advanced users

Want to help decentralize the network? Run a full node on your own server. It keeps a complete copy of the chain, relays transactions, and strengthens the network for everyone.

  1. Provision a server

    Any small Linux server works. Install the build tools, then build or install the tracercoind daemon.

  2. Configure & connect

    Create a tracercoin.conf, add the launch node — addnode=159.65.188.80 — and open the P2P port (9555) so other peers can reach you too.

  3. Sync & verify

    Start the daemon and let it sync from genesis. Once your block height matches the network, your node is live and helping secure the chain.

Step-by-step README: the full node & replication guide — provisioning, building the daemon, config, and verifying consensus — is published with the source. Ask in the community if you'd like a hand.

Where do I download the wallet?

The desktop wallet installer is available now as a release candidate — the download and its checksum are posted with each release. Check the status & release notes for the current build, and join the waitlist to be notified as new builds ship. Always verify the checksum before running the file.

Do I need special hardware to mine?

Tracercoin uses Scrypt proof-of-work, so you can mine with standard Scrypt ASICs like the Antminer L7 or L3+, or with a GPU. See the full mining guide for setup details.

Is my wallet backup important?

Yes — critically. Your wallet holds your keys. If you lose your wallet file and passphrase, no one can recover your coins for you. Back up your wallet and store the recovery details offline.

Where are the video guides?

Every walkthrough plays right here on the page — see the Winslow video walkthroughs above and the video on each setup path. They're original Tracercoin guides, added to as each feature ships.
