Account Setup
While users can generate a new ETC account, Emerald Wallet allows users to add an existing ETC account using their private key, keystore file, and ledger nano s.
Secure your keystore file and private key immediately and do not lose it! You are accountable for your ETC account. Your keystore file and private key are your secret authentication on the blockchain.
Select a Node
To perform operations with the blockchain, users must allow a full node to download and sync on their local machine or use a third party node [Light Node]. Running a Full Node on a local machine may take few hours to download and sync making Light Nodes a convenience for most end-users.
