Preamble

The QT Wallet needs an active Node Connection in order to function. By default it's connected to a developer Cloud Node.

To verify transactions on your own Node you can configure your QT Wallet to use the embedded Node, or run a Node and configure it as a custom Node. You are encouraged to run your own Node.


Cloud Node

By default the QT is running over a Cloud Node, no further actions needed.
(Please note this will eventually be deprecated and switched to embedded Nodes instead)


Embedded Node

You can switch to the embedded Node by:

  1. Selecting the Gear Icon and selecting "Node overview"
  2. Clicking "Change Node"
  3. Select "Embedded local MWC Node"

No further actions needed after this, the QT will now use it's own internal Node!

Custom Node

  1. Selecting the Gear Icon and selecting "Node overview"
  2. Clicking "Change Node"
  3. Select "Embedded local MWC Node"
  4. Enter the IP-Address of your Node in the Address field (For the same machine the QT Runs on 127.0.0.1:3413)
  5. Enter the API Secret of your Node. (This can be found by checking the Value in the file .api_secret under username\.mwc\main by default)

No further actions needed after this, the QT will now use the configured Custom Node!
