Ledger

Install the Terracoin app on your Ledger device to manage TRC with the Terracoin Electrum. The Terracoin app is developed and supported by TRCf.

Before you start

• Update the firmware on your Ledger device.
• Install the Bitcoin app, as Terracoin requires it.

Instructions

• Install the Terracoin app
• Open Terracoin Electrum.
• Connect and unlock your device.
• Create new wallet, select Hardware Wallet, or select the wallet and open.

Configure public key exports

The Terracoin app can export your extended public key (xpub) to web apps in a U2F compatible web browser (Chrome, Opera or Firefox). The xpub is privacy-sensitive information, as all public addresses can be generated from it.

Public key exports by default require manual approval on the device to prevent inadvertent sharing of your public addresses. This setting can be configured as follows:

• Open the Terracoin app.
• Navigate to Settings > Public key export approval.
• Choose one of two options:
  • Manual approval (default): public key exports require a confirmation on the device.
  • Auto approval: public key exports are automatically approved.

Terracoin address formats

Terracoin addresses start with an 1, just like bitcoin.

Address privacy

Terracoin transactions are public information. Do not re-use your addresses for optimal privacy. Terracoin Electrum automatically generates new addresses and keeps track of your previous ones. Previous addresses do remain valid, but they don't offer an optimal level of privacy.
