Welcome to CloudCoin Wallet

The NEW Advanced Feature, Easy to Use CloudCoin Management Suite.

Our goal at the CloudCoin Consortium is to make a digital currency accessible and usable for everyone regardless of experience. We believe that a digital currency should be easy to use by people from every walk of life as well as have the best security and privacy available anywhere.

Can you use some social media such as Facebook? Can you send and receive email on a computer? Can you add attachments and locate a file?

If the answer is Yes, then it sounds like you already have the skills needed to operate the NEW CloudCoin Wallet Software! A basic knowledge of computers is required.

If you have downloaded CloudCoin Wallet, we assume you have already learned a little about CloudCoin. This manual has instructions with explanation and some key screenshots to help you navigate and use the software.

Here Is a Compact List of Keywords Including Some Technical Terms. The context of how these words are defined below will be valuable in this Guide.

Authentic CloudCoin: A Coin that is Authentic according to the CloudCoin: The first-ever cloud-based digital currency. RAIDA. It has the most recent password that has been registered It cannot be counterfeited, double-spent, mined, or with the RAIDA. permanently lost. CloudCoin transactions can be 100% private.

Coin: In the context of this manual, Coin is exclusively used as an abbreviation of CloudCoin. We are only talking about the CloudCoin Currency.

Counterfeit Coin: Any CloudCoin that does not have the most recent Authenticity number that has been recorded on the RAIDA. Once a Coin has been powned the Authenticity number changes. This previous copy of the Coin is now Counterfeit and cannot be spent again with this old Authenticity number.

.Csv file: 'Comma Separated Variable'. This is the file type used to export your transaction history. It is then importable into spreadsheet programs such as Excel.

Detection Agent: Any one of up to 800 separate computers that detect Authentic CloudCoins and reject Counterfeit Coins.

DNS: Domain Name System. A supreme data structure that the internet uses. This system is so secure it has never gone down since 1985.

Echo RAIDA: Checks your connection to the Counterfeit Detection System, the RAIDA.

Export File: Data that is exported from a computer software program or the computer itself. In this context, we are talking about Coins, history, and lists. Coins when ‘Transferred’ from a Wallet to ‘local filesystem' can also be thought of as an exported file.

Fix Fracked: The process of fixing a Fracked Coin. This process is described in Section 2-4.

Folder: Also known as a directory. Digital compartments on a computer or storage device where files are organized and stored.

Fracked: Also known as fractured. A Coin can become Fracked when a RAIDA Cloud does not respond during a pown request. The Fracked Coin can later be fixed. In fact, this is part of the whole system’s self-healing process. It is a normal occurrence to have some Fracked Coins at times.

ID.Coin or (CloudCoin ID.): A CloudCoin can be used as a key to get access to something. In this case, the ID. Coin is used as a key to your Sky Wallet(s). It will remain a CloudCoin. This Coin is stored in the 'ID.' folder in your CloudCoinWallet folder. Do not move this Coin out of the ID. folder. Only make copies of it and store them securely. Do not spend this Coin. It is what makes your Sky Wallet work.

Local: To be right here on your computer versus somewhere remotely, such as ‘the cloud' or the internet.

Local Wallet: (also just called 'Wallet' for short) A collection of folders and files generated by this software and stored locally on your computer to organize and manage your CloudCoins.

Node: Any One Detection Agent computer server on the RAIDA decentralized network.


.Pdf file: Stands for 'Portable Document Format.' It is a prevalent document type. It is readable with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. Most computers have a reader pre-installed and ready to go. Most internet browsers can also read.Pdf files.

Pown: Short for Password-Own. This is the process where this Wallet software automatically changes the Authenticity number (password) to a new password and records it in the RAIDA. This is how a Coin will move from one user to another but cannot be re-spent by the previous owner. The password has changed.

Pown your Coins once a year if you are storing them long term. It is essential to do this less than every two years, or the RAIDA will think that they have been lost. This is done by depositing your Coins into your CloudCoin Wallet. If they are in a Wallet already, transfer them out as a file and re-deposit them into the CloudCoin Wallet.

RAIDA: (Redundant Array of Independent Detection Agents) The Counterfeit detection system used by CloudCoin. It is made up of 25 independent RAIDA network administrators (Sentinels) which guard as many as 800 Independent Detection Agents. The RAIDA was designed to be a Global Counterfeit detection system. It can detect the authenticity of a CloudCoin in less than a second.

Request Change Service: This is the Change-Maker that has been integrated into the CloudCoin Wallet program. This allows you to have the correct change for every transaction that you have sufficient funds for. If you do not have the correct denominations of CloudCoin to complete a transaction, this function will make the change automatically for you from a trusted change server.

Sentinels: The computer systems that hide and protect the 800 Detection Agents. They use what is called 'Reverse Proxies' or 'Tunneling' to conceal the location of the Detection Agents.

Serial Number: This number is part of the CloudCoin that does not change in a CloudCoin during a Pown. Each CloudCoin note has its own serial number.

Sky Wallet: This is an Ultra Private and Secure way to receive CloudCoins over the internet. It operates on the service called Teleport now, which is a supreme data structure just like RAIDA and the DNS. A Sky Wallet is a Remote CloudCoin Wallet that can be used for receiving payments. You can store some of your CloudCoins in a Sky Wallet also.

skywallet.cc: This is a DNS Name (domain name) used for the Sky Wallet Service.

Transfer: To move CloudCoins out of the app so you can spend them. To move CloudCoins between Wallets or from a Wallet to a Sky Wallet. To move CloudCoins from a Wallet to other storage such as a computer or a USB Stick.

Trusted Server: A known trusted remote computer that can be relied upon to complete a required task.

USB Stick: A USB drive, thumb drive, memory stick that plugs into a USB port on your computer.

Vault folder: This is the folder where your Password protected (Vaulted) Coins are stored.


__________________________ __________________________ __________________________

Wallet: (Also called the “Local Wallet”) In the context of this guide, Wallet refers to a collection of folders and files generated by this software and stored locally on your computer to organize and manage your CloudCoins. Wallet, in this context, does NOT refer to any other type of Wallets such as cryptographic Wallets like those related to bitcoin or other blockchain cryptocurrencies.

Wallet Email Recovery: You will be asked for an email address during the creation of a Wallet. An encoded message based on your email address is placed in the CloudCoins so they can be recovered by email if lost.

__________________________ __________________________

Wallet Folders: Also called Client Folders. See Client Folders. __________________________

Wallet Password: Your password allows for your Wallet to be encrypted. The strength of the encryption depends on the strength of your password. Write your passwords down and store them in a very secure location or remotely with an encrypted storage service such as Secure Safe: https://www.securesafe.com/en/

__________________________ __________________________ __________________________

Any Coins that are protected using a Wallet Password will be stored in the Vault folder. Password protected Coins cannot be powned by anyone without the password. If you lose your password, you may recover your Coins either quickly with Email Recovery, if enabled, or by filing a Lost Coin Report and waiting up to two years.

System Requirements and Install

You Must Have the Most Current Version of Java Runtime Environment

Your Windows computer may require the ‘run as administrator’ function to be manually set for Java. It is best to go through the steps listed on the next page in this guide to be sure this Java setting is correct.

After download, it is wise to store the CloudCoin Wallet program out of the way such as in your Windows user account folder.

Examples: C:\Users\User Name\

or

or

Then create a shortcut of your CloudCoin Wallet program.

Right-click to on the Cloud – Coin Wallet program and Select ‘Create a shortcut.

You can drag and drop this shortcut to a menu on your computer or to your desktop for your convenience.


1. Install or Update Java

To Operate CloudCoin Wallet on Windows, you will need to have Java Runtime Environment installed. If you do not have Java or your version is out-of-date, you will need to go to:

https://www.java.com/en/download/

Select the appropriate download needed for your operating system and install it.

2. Run as Administrator

Locate java.exe first. The fastest way to locate java.exe is just to type it into your Windows system’s search bar.

Then click on ‘Run as administrator.’ You can also Right-Click directly on the java.exe icon, click Run as administrator.

3. Ready to Begin

Finally, double click on the CloudCoin Wallet app or the shortcut you created to start CloudCoin Wallet. Confirm the Terms and Conditions. Now we are ready to begin.


SECTION 1: Wallets, Sky Wallets, Deposits & Transfers

1-1 Creating a Wallet (Local Wallet)

The first screen you will come to after the User Agreement is to Create a Wallet. You must have at least one Wallet to use any features in this program. Think of a Wallet name. You can add a Wallet Password to protect your Coins from theft. Store your password securely. Adding Wallet Email Recovery will enable you to recover CloudCoins by email if you lose your Coins. If the password to a Wallet is forgotten, the Coins will need to be recovered by email or by filing a Lost Coin Report.

Screenshot 1-1 Create A Local Wallet Screenshot 1-2 Deposit CloudCoins into a Local Wallet

1-2 Deposit CloudCoins into a Wallet

Deposit just a few Coins into your Wallet, to begin with until you become familiar with this software. You can add Coins to your Wallet from any CloudCoin file. The CloudCoin Wallet will accept CloudCoins as. stack or. Jpeg files. In this case, we will deposit. stack files from a USB Stick. First, click on the Deposit menu. Then directly drag and drop the CloudCoin files or click inside the dotted box to open the file’s location in the popup window. Continue. Do not close the window until the Deposit is complete.


1-3 Create A Sky Wallet

A Sky Wallet is an ultra-secure way to send and receive CloudCoins over the internet without sending files or attachments in emails. You can create your own Sky Wallet by depositing a CloudCoin which becomes the Sky Wallet ID. In this way, a CloudCoin's globally unique properties are used as a vehicle to transport Coins from senders to receivers securely. After the CloudCoin becomes the Sky Wallet ID., it is still stored on your computer. It is always a CloudCoin.

There must be at least one Wallet created prior to creating a Sky Wallet. You will need one preferably small Coin note for the ID. This Coin should be a local file outside of this program and its filing system. If it is already in a Wallet, you will need to export it before you can use it as an ID.

Click on Add Sky Wallet. Choose DNS name of a trusted server (skywallet.cc). Enter your proposed address, for example: happy54.skywallet.cc now select the Coin you will use as your ID. Click Continue and finish the Sky Wallet setup. Your Sky Wallet Name will be displayed in the Deposit menu or the help menu going forward.

Screenshot 1-3 a Creating A Sky Wallet Screenshot 1-3b Creating A Sky Wallet

Note: Please DO NOT SEND any CloudCoins to happy54.skywallet.cc. It would be impossible to verify and return to the sender.


1-4 Transferring Coins To A Sky Wallet

You will have the ability to transfer Coins to any Sky Wallet that you choose. This is an excellent way to send the utmost secure and private payments possible to anyone that has a Sky Wallet. All you need is the receiver's Sky Wallet address. The address must be entered correctly, or it is possible the payment could go to someone else. Example: happy54.skywallet.cc

Select ‘Transfer From,’ choose a Wallet. Select ‘transfer to,’ enter a Sky Wallet. Enter the amount and a memo, then continue and complete the transaction. Refer to the screenshot below for an example.

Screenshot 1-4 Transferring Coins To A Sky Wallet Screenshot 1-5 Transferring Coins to Local Filesystem

1-5 Transferring Coins to Local Filesystem

You can transfer CloudCoins out of your CloudCoin Wallet to a local file. This can be a file in a folder on your computer or on an external storage device such as a USB stick or external hard drive. To do this, select ‘Transfer From’ the Wallet you want to get your Coins from. Then select ‘transfer to,’ select ‘Local Folder.’ Choose the destination in your local filesystem where you want your CloudCoin transfer to be saved. This will create a single.stack file, and this file can contain one or more CloudCoins in it.


1-6 Transferring Coins Between Wallets and Sky Wallets

Now that you have some Coins in a Sky Wallet, you can practice moving them back to the Wallet on your computer.

The process of moving Coins from one Local Wallet or Sky Wallet to another Wallet or Sky Wallet is simple. Select the ‘Transfer From’ and ‘transfer to’ Wallets. Again, you will have to enter the password for each Wallet that is password protected if you choose to use password protection. Follow the directions to finish the transfer. You will notice the balances have changed in the Wallets from figure 1-6 a to 1-6b.

Screenshot 1-6 a Transferring Coins Between Wallets Screenshot 1-6b Transferring Coins Between Wallets

Note: It is now possible to transfer CloudCoins between two Sky Wallets.

The 'Total Coins' displayed on the top menu bar shows all Coins present in both the Wallets on your device and the Coins that are present in your Sky Wallets you have set up in this program. When you click on any Wallet displayed in the left side, you will see that Wallet's transaction history of deposits, withdraws and balance.


1-7 Printing & Exporting History

Click on the Wallet you would like to display the history of. You can choose to print or export the history or both. Choose your printer. You can also choose to create a.Pdf file of the history if your print menu has that option.

Exporting history: Choose the location you would like to save your history too. History can be exported as a.CSV (comma separated variable) file. The.Csv file can be imported to spreadsheets such as Excel or various other programs.

Screenshot 1-7 Printing & Exporting History Screenshot 1-8 Deposit A Backup File (e.g., Coins already Present)

1-8 Depositing A Backup File

Restoring a Backup file is as simple as any Deposit. If you need to restore a Backup first go into the Deposit menu and select your Backup file from your file system or external storage. Then Deposit the Backup as you would any other CloudCoin file. Be aware that any Coins that are already in the CloudCoin Wallet will display as ‘Previously Imported Coins.’ Any Coins in the Backup that you have spent or re-powned since the Backup was created will display as Counterfeit after the Deposit is completed. In the screenshot above, No Coins were imported because they were already present in a Wallet.


1-9 Making Change (automatic function)

You must create at least one Sky Wallet in your list in order to access the Change-Maker function. The Change-Maker is completely private and secure. It will enable you to have the exact change you need for every transaction completed with the CloudCoin Wallet. The CloudCoin denominations (or notes) are exchanged on Sky Change, a trusted change server.

The make change service operates automatically in the background if the need arises to make change. Example: You have a five CloudCoin note, and you want to make a payment of four CloudCoins. If your transaction requires change, this function will get you the exact change you need automatically.

Screenshot 1-9 a Requesting Change Screenshot 1-9b Requesting Change

If you do not have at least one Sky Wallet created in your Wallets List, you will receive a message that this program Will Not be able to make exact change if the exact change is not in the Local Wallet you are using for the transaction.


SECTION 2: Tools Menu

Screenshot 2-0 Tools Menu

This section is a brief overview of each of the tools in the tool menu and their functions. See the screenshot above. Read the list of seven tools we will be going over in this section.


2-1 Creating a CloudCoin Backup File

This tool makes it easy to create one or more Backups of the Coins stored in any Wallet on your computer. This differs from an export in that a Backup is a copy of Coins that are still in the Bank folder of the chosen Wallet. Backup Files must be kept safe just like any other Authentic CloudCoin file.

The Backup file may take a little time to be created. It will take longer if you are backing up many CloudCoin files. Please wait for it to complete.

Screenshot 2-1 a Create a Backup Screenshot 2-1b Create a Backup

Select the Wallet you want to back up, then select or create a folder that is the location where you want to store your Backup file. A single. stack file will be created. The filename will show the number of Coins contained and that it is a Backup file. Example: 2540.CloudCoin.BACKUP.stack You may want to keep track of the Wallet each Backup is from, its origin or purpose, etc.


2-2 List Serial Numbers

It is essential to list the Serial Numbers of all your CloudCoins from time to time. The serial number list can be used to file a Lost Coin Report. You may need your Serial Numbers someday if you lose your Coins somehow. This makes it possible to file a Lost Coin Report if you have not protected your Coins with Wallet Email Recovery, as discussed in Section 1-1. It would take up to 2 years to get them back using this method; however, the privacy of this method can be even higher than Wallet Email Recovery.

This list can be printed on paper or saved as a file or both. See the illustration below: Screenshot 2-2.

Screenshot 2-2 List Serial Numbers Screenshot 2-3 Clear History

2-3 Clear History

When you clear history it will remove all history from ALL Wallets Permanently. If history is not desired, you can delete it as often as you want. If you have an old Wallet that is empty and not being used; it would be better to delete that Wallet than clear all the history if you still need some history. Doing so will delete the history of that Wallet only and Will Not interfere with the history of other Wallets. If you do decide to delete all history, make sure you have previously printed a hard copy or exported the history that you need. After deleting history, an ‘Opening Balance’ will be posted in each wallet to display the starting Coin count.


2-4 Fix Fracked

What is a Fracked Coin?

Sometimes all the RAIDA are not available during a pown, and the Coins become Fracked. This means that one or more of the RAIDA think the Coin is Counterfeit. Fracked Coins will be fixed using the Frack Fix process. Usually, this process happens automatically. Sometimes the process cannot finish because one of the RAIDA is down. In this case, you can fix Fracked later when the RAIDA is up and working.

This is the beautiful self-repairing process of CloudCoins and the RAIDA network. No other currency can do this. You can think of it like growing back new skin to replace damaged skin.

Screenshot 2-4 a Fix Fracked Screenshot 2-4b Fix Fracked

Only the Wallets that have Fracked Coins will display in the drop-down list when you want to Fix Fracked Coins. If the Wallet is not on the list, then it does not have Fracked Coins to fix.


2-5 Delete Wallet

If you decide that a Wallet is no longer needed, you can delete it. You can only delete empty Wallets. Deleting a Wallet is Permanent and Irreversible.

Screenshot 2-5 a Delete A Wallet Screenshot 2-5b Delete A Sky Wallet

WARNING: If you decide to delete a Sky Wallet, You Will Not Be Able to Use That Sky Wallet Name EVER AGAIN. The Sky Wallet Name will no longer be accessible on skywallet.cc for individual security and privacy reasons.

Be sure that you do not have other Sky Wallets associated with the same ID Coin. It is strongly recommended to use a separate ID Coin for each Sky Wallet, even though an ID Coin can support an infinite number of Sky Wallets.


2-6 Show Folders

This allows you to see where your files are. Displays the path in the Client Folders to each of your Wallets. Clicking the link will open the location of your Wallets on your computer. There is one for each Wallet. If you need a copy of an ID. Coin, for another purpose, create a Copy of the ID. Coin, do not take the original. ID. Coins are located in the ID. folder inside your ‘CloudCoinWallet’ folder

DO NOT: Spend the ID. Coin unless you are sure it Will Not be used anymore as an ID. for Sky Wallets, etc. Note: Moving or making changes in your Wallet folders may cause this software program to display incorrect information. Example: If a Coin is removed manually from a folder, it can show incorrect balances or counterfeits.

Screenshot 2-6 Show Folders Screenshot 2-7 Echo RAIDA

2-7 Echo RAIDA

This shows the state of the RAIDA. Uptime is over 99.9%. However, sometimes network routers (especially at your workspace) may block your access. Echo RAIDA will allow you to see the connections. Echo RAIDA will tell you if a RAIDA Cloud is ready or momentarily unavailable, displayed as: FAILED if there are more than three failed RAIDA, your transaction Will Not process to keep your Coins safe. It also shows the response time of each RAIDA Cloud in seconds or less.
