Morana Network

This guide explains how to install the Morana wallet and make your first testnet transfer.

Morana is currently a closed testnet: participation is by invitation. The coin is XMOR; testnet coins are worth nothing and do not carry over to mainnet. A block comes out roughly once a minute.

1. Install the wallet

Download the build for your system from the download page. Before running it, follow the instructions in Verify your download.

2. Create a wallet

Launch the wallet and choose to create a new wallet.
Set a strong password. It encrypts the wallet database on your device.
Write down the 24-word phrase on paper and keep it offline. It derives your main wallet, name and messenger keys. Shadow has its own phrase by default.
Confirm the phrase when the wallet asks.

3. Restore a wallet

Restore the wallet with your 24-word phrase, then import the .morbak file if you have one. It restores history and reduces synchronization time. The backup alone cannot restore the wallet without the phrase. See Backup and recovery.

4. Get coins

Open the receive screen and copy an address:

public — tmor1…;
private — tmorp1…;
unified — tmu1… (it holds a private address and, optionally, a public one).

You can mine testnet coins on a graphics card — see the Miner Guide. Mined coins become spendable after 100 blocks, about 100 minutes.

5. Sending

Public transfer — from a public address to a public one.
Hide — move public coins to your own private address (T → Z).
Private transfer — from a private address to a private one (Z → Z): neither the amount nor the parties are visible.
Withdraw — from a private address to a public one (Z → T).
By name — if the recipient has a MORID name (a readable name that stands for an address), enter it instead of an address. If the recipient has published a private address and you hold private funds, the wallet pays privately and shows which route the payment took.

Every transaction, private ones included, is assembled on your device. Before sending, the wallet shows the recipient, amount and fee and asks you to confirm. "Sent" means the network has received the transfer, not that it is already in a block.

Fees. A public transfer is priced by transaction size. Private operations cost more; the wallet shows the total before you send.

6. Make a backup

Create a .morbak file using the backup instructions.
