The client interface starts off with a login screen. You don’t need to enter anything and can just click “login” and “verify” – this brings you to the main screen where you’ll be able to test X-CHAT.

One of the most exciting changes included in this release is the ability to interact with the XBY testnet using XCITE and the XCITE testnet wallet via RPC.

Interacting with the XBY testnet

  1. Download the normal testnet wallet here

  2. Run the testnet wallet and allow it to completely synchronize.

  3. Close the wallet and browse to your application data folder.

    • Windows: %APPDATA%\xcite\
    • Mac: Home/Library/Application Support/xcite/
  4. Within this folder, create a new file and name it "xcite.conf". Make sure the file is not called "xcite.config.txt". The file must be saved with a ".conf" extension.

    • Windows: In Notepad, go to File -> Save As -> Set the "File name:" to xcite.conf, change the "Save as type:" dropdown to "All Files", then click Save.
    • Mac: In TextEdit, click Format in the file bar -> Make Plain Text -> File -> Save -> Change "Save As:" to xcite.conf, then click Save.
  5. Edit the xcite.conf file, paste the following content into the file, then save and close it:

    rpcuser=xcite
    rpcpassword=xtrabytes
    server=1
    
  6. Re-open the wallet and allow it to synchronize.

  7. Open XCITE (allow the XCITE wallet to continue running in the background)

  8. In XCITE, click the online indicator in the bottom-left to connect via RPC. If it works correctly the balance should be updated in XCITE and the Send Coins & History views should be functional.
