You will need to get “wallets” from Horizen. You will need both the Full Wallet and the Lite Wallet. This blog will get you started on the Full Wallet for Horizen. (A Full Wallet gets a copy of the Bloackchain on your machine).

This can be obtained from this website: https://www.horizen.global/wallets/

The link takes you to the following screen:

Here you can choose what system you need to download. We have a Windows computer so we used Windows but there are many to choose from including Third Party Wallets and Point of Sale Applications.

Full Client Wallet:

Click on the Full Client button:

This will take you to the download screen. Click on the asset ZENCashDesktopGUIWallet_0.84.0.zip:

Once this has downloaded, save and unzip the file.

Once unzipped, find and run this file:

This screen will appear advising the download of the proving key. This will only happen with first usage and takes about 10 minutes.

Once completed you will need to allow access to the Windows Defender Firewall. Make sure the name is zend.

You will then have to agree to the disclaimer.

You will then go to the ZENCash Wallet.

This, however, will need to synchronize with the blockchain, and can take 6–8 hours to do so before you can use it.

Whilst you wait for this you can then download the Lite Wallet, check out my step by step blog to help get you started.

Now that you are ready to create a Masternode check out Cryptorith. At Cryptorith you can have a Masternode in 30 seconds! You just need 42 ZEN.
