Installationsanleitung für Windows#

This guide describes how to download, install and encrypt the Dash Core wallet for Windows. The guide is written for Windows 10, but the steps should be similar for other versions of Windows.

Dash Core Wallet herunterladen#

Visit https://www.dash.org/downloads/ to download the latest Dash Core wallet. In most cases, the website will properly detect which version you need. Click Download Installer to download the installer directly.

If detection does not work, you will need to manually choose your operating system. Once you know which version you need, download the Dash Core Installer to your computer from https://www.dash.org/downloads/ and save the file you downloaded to your Downloads folder.

Bemerkung

Dash Core 0.17 was the last release to provide downloads for 32-bit Windows installations. As of Windows 11, Microsoft only provides 64-bit Windows.

If you are unsure whether your version of Windows is 32-bit or 64-bit, you can check by following the instructions here.

Dash Core verifizieren#

This step is optional, but recommended to verify the authenticity of the file you downloaded. This is done by checking its detached signature against the public key published by the Dash Core development team. To download the detached signature, click the Installer Signature button on the wallet download page and save it to the same folder as the downloaded binary.

All releases of Dash since 0.16.0 are signed using GPG with the following key:

Pasta (pasta) with the key 5252 7BED ABE8 7984, verifiable on Keybase (download)

Download the key file above. Install Gpg4win if it is not already available on your computer. Once it is installed, open the Kleopatra certificate manager and click File -> Import. Import the key file and verify the Key-ID matches the ID above.

Skip any requests to certify the certificate with your own key. Next, click Decrypt/Verify… and select the detached signature file named dashcore-20.1.0-win64-setup.exe.asc in the same folder as the downloaded installer.

If you see the first line of the message reads Verified dashcore-20.1.0-win64-setup.exe with dashcore-20.1.0-win64-setup.exe.asc then you have an authentic copy of Dash Core for Windows.

The following video demonstrates the steps to install Gpg4win and then verify the Dash Core installation file signature.

Dash Core Installer starten#

Doppel-Klick auf die Datei um die Installation von Dash Core zu starten.

An dieser Stelle gibt der Windows SmartCreen eventuell die Warnung aus, dass die Anwendung unbekannter Herkunft ist. Diese Warnung kann über Weitere Informationen und dann Trotzdem ausführen übersprungen werden.

Der Installer wird dich durch den Installationsprozess führen.

../../../../_images/106328881.png — Installation ist komplett#

Dash Core zum ersten Mal starten#

Once installation is complete, Dash Core will start up immediately. If it does not, click Start > Dash Core > Dash Core to start the application. The first time the program is launched, you will be offered a choice of where you want to store your blockchain and wallet data. Choose a location with enough free space, as the blockchain can reach 45GB+ in size. It is recommended to use the default data folder if possible.

Dash Core wird dann starten. Der Start wird beim ersten Mal etwas länger dauern als sonst, da Dash Core die kryptographischen Daten, welche die Wallet sichern, zuerst erstellen muss.

Dash Core mit dem Dash-Netzwerk synchronisieren#

Sobald Dash Core erfolgreich installiert und gestartet wurde, wird eine Wallet-Übersicht angezeigt. Die Wallet ist zunächst „nicht synchronisiert“ und die Statusleiste am unteren Rand des Fensters zeigt den Synchronisationsfortschritt an.

../../../../_images/dashcore-syncing1.png — Dash Core startet sich mit dem Dash Netzwerk zu synchronisieren#

During this process, Dash Core will download a full copy of the Dash blockchain from other nodes to your device. Depending on your internet connection, this may take a long time. If you see the message “No block source available”, check your internet connection. When synchronization is complete, you will see a small green tick in the lower right corner.

You can now create a wallet to send and receive funds.

Creating your Dash Wallet#

Neu in Version v20.1.0: HD wallets are now created by default.

If no wallet files are loaded, you will get this prompt in the Overview tab. To create a wallet, click the Create a new wallet button or click File -> Create Wallet. HD wallets are created by default. See the advanced topics section for information about HD wallets.

../../../../_images/dash-create-wallet-prompt2.png

You will be prompted to create a new wallet with a custom wallet name. By default, your wallet will be encrypted. You may choose to uncheck the box and encrypt the wallet later. We have included instructions on how to encrypt your wallet in the following section.

../../../../_images/dash-name-wallet1.png

If you do choose to encrypt now, you will be asked to enter and verify a password.

../../../../_images/dash-encrypt-wallet1.png — Passwort eingeben#

Following that, you will get a standard warning.

../../../../_images/dash-encrypt-wallet-confirmation1.png — Bestätige bitte, dass du die Wallet verschlüsseln willst#

The following section will detail the steps you need to follow if you choose to encrypt your Dash wallet later.

Dash-Wallet verschlüsseln#

Die Wallet wird über Einstellungen > Wallet verschlüsseln verschlüsselt.

../../../../_images/dashcore-settings-encrypt1.png — Dash-Wallet mit einem Passwort verschlüsseln#

Du wirst nach der Eingabe und Bestätigung eines Passwords gefragt.

When the encryption process is complete, you will see a warning that past backups of your wallet will no longer be usable, and be asked to shut down Dash Core. When you restart Dash Core, you will see a small green lock in the lower right corner.

Du kannst nun mit der Nutzung der Wallet beginnen, um Dash sicher zu senden und empfangen.
