First of all, define the network you'd like to "play" with:

• mainnet - it's the latest released production version, working with real money and you can get binaries from the official website, see Github Releases or build yourself from the sources of (mainnet branch).
• testnet - to check the features will be released soon to production, download from Github Releases or build from the testnet branch.
• master - to see the latest changes in development build the master branch.

Here are detailed instructions on how to build a project for Windows, Linux, Mac platforms .

Add -DHDS_NO_QT_UI_WALLET=On command line parameter to the Cmake if you need only CLI version of the wallet without UI and QT5 library dependencies.

You will need to build 4 binaries: hds-node, explorer-node, hds-wallet and wallet-api.

To create a new wallet run the following command (wallet.db will be created in the working folder):

./hds-wallet init

Output example for init operation:

Generated seed phrase:

        army;wing;very;trim;crumble;meat;spawn;click;donate;loyal;trap;gauge;

        IMPORTANT

        Your seed phrase is the access key to all the cryptocurrencies in your wallet.
        Print or write down the phrase to keep it in a safe or in a locked vault.
        Without the phrase you will not be able to recover your money.

You can also restore wallet with your seed_phrase if you've already had it.

./hds-wallet restore --seed_phrase=<semicolon separated list of 12 seed phrase words>;

Once wallet is initialised, you have to export your Owner Key (it will be needed in the future to start own node).

Output example for export_owner_key operation:

$ ./hds-wallet export_owner_key

Owner Key should be kept secret. Owner Key does not allow to spend coins, however it will allow to see all coins mined for you by all miners that use this Owner Кey.

Here you can read about all the hds-wallet commands: https://documentation.hadescoin.com/en/latest/rtd_pages/user_cli_wallet_guide.html

Run the node with your Owner Key and make sure it has completed the synchronization with the network:

./hds-node.exe --peer=silicon-valley-nodes.mainnet.hadescoin.com:16668 --key_owner=XPWoJ/ViEO1whRcYC1z/nylDH1C2lqLxpMYU0/AbqP67XI4sgYDkUIvJfUpMFjwdPYNz2A7PCHWo7c/kHHTZ2EDUNv2BJvQHb1KHZjLNZPFgV2wceHfzvCYIUF3cR9ADfVSBquTxEldipNgp

Please, make sure you pass proper peer address for the current network you have chosen before.

Hds Node also provides built-in support for Stratum API allowing to connect multiple external mining clients to a single node, read more....

With Wallet API you can

• check current wallet status and (balance)
• get all your UTXO/transactions list
• create/verify address
• send funds and cancel transactions
• make a split of UTXO - create a specific set of outputs with given set of values

There are two ways to send JSON RPC commands to the API,

• using TCP socket
• via HTTP calls.

With TCP you can hold only one connection, send JSON commands separated with \n symbol and receive callbacks from the API, in the one hand it's more flexible but a bit difficult to implement in the other hand. With HTTP you can do POST requests using curl command.

So, to start API with HTTP support use the command:

./wallet-api --node_addr=x.x.x.x:port --api_use_http=1
where node_addr is your node address and port.

See detailed wallet API documentation.

With this API you can get information about current blockchain state and blocks using simple GET requests.

To run explorer use the command:

./explorer-node.exe --peer silicon-valley-nodes.mainnet.hadescoin.com:16668 --api_port=8080

Please, make sure you pass proper peer address for the current network you have chosen before.

See detailed explorer API documentation
