FAQs
1. How does Qsafe Wallet work? Qsafe Wallet focuses on speed, security, and user-friendliness while supporting cryptocurrency storage and transactions. It achieves fast startup times by syncing with high-performance servers that handle complex blockchain interactions.
2. Does Qsafe Wallet trust servers? Not entirely. Qsafe Wallet never sends private keys to servers. It verifies blockchain data using cryptographic methods like Simple Payment Verification (SPV).
Qsafe Wallet connects to multiple servers to ensure redundancy and reliability.
One server acts as the main server, but it never receives sensitive data like private keys.
Servers provide transaction updates, block headers, and fee estimates.
Users can further enhance privacy by running their own Qsafe-compatible server.
3. What is a seed phrase in Qsafe Wallet? The seed phrase is a set of random words used to generate your wallet's private keys. It acts as a backup that allows you to restore your wallet.
For example: slim sugar lizard predict state cute awkward asset inform blood civil sugar
4. How secure is the seed phrase? The seed phrase has high entropy, offering the same level of security as a cryptographic private key. Qsafe Wallet ensures that the seed phrase is securely generated and stored.
⚠️ Tip: Always write your seed phrase on paper and store it safely. If lost, your funds cannot be recovered.
5. I forgot my wallet password. What can I do? If you forget your password, you can restore your wallet using the seed phrase and set a new password.
⚠️ If both your seed phrase and password are lost, your funds cannot be recovered.
6. My transaction is unconfirmed. What can I do?
Wait: Transactions may take time based on network congestion.
Use CPFP (Child Pays for Parent): Create a new transaction with a higher fee to incentivize miners to confirm both transactions.
Cancel the Transaction: Cancel replaceable transactions by creating a double-spend transaction with a higher fee.
7. What does freezing an address mean in Qsafe Wallet? Freezing an address prevents its funds from being used in transactions. This is helpful for managing your wallet or protecting certain funds.
8. How is the wallet file encrypted? Qsafe Wallet employs robust encryption methods:
AES encryption for private keys and seed phrases.
Wallet files are encrypted on disk, and sensitive data is only decrypted temporarily when required (e.g., signing transactions).
9. Does Qsafe Wallet support cold storage? Yes. You can use Qsafe Wallet in conjunction with cold storage for enhanced security.
10. Can I import private keys into Qsafe Wallet? You cannot directly import private keys into a seed-based wallet, you can create a new wallet and select import private keys option and enter your private keys. Alternatively you can also sweep private keys. Sweeping transfers the funds associated with a private key into your wallet.
11. How do I sweep private keys? Go to Wallet > Private Keys > Sweep, enter the private key, and confirm. The funds will be sent to an address within your wallet.
12. Where does Qsafe Wallet store data? Qsafe Wallet stores data (wallet files, configuration, logs, etc.) in a directory on your device.
Windows:
\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Qsafe(or)%APPDATA%/QsafeLinux:
~/.qsafe/
13. Where is the wallet file located?
The default wallet file is stored in the /wallets folder within the data directory.
14. How do I enable debug logging?
GUI: Go to Settings > Preferences > Enable Debug Logging.
CLI: If you are developing, while launching the wallet, you can use the flag
-v.
15. Can I do bulk payments with Qsafe Wallet? Yes. You can send funds to multiple addresses in a single transaction. Use the “Pay to many” feature to input multiple addresses and amounts.
16. Can I create and sign raw transactions in Qsafe Wallet? Yes, Qsafe Wallet allows users to create and sign raw transactions directly via the interface or command line.
17. Why does Qsafe Wallet freeze when sending a transaction? This may occur if your wallet contains many small unspent outputs. Consolidate smaller outputs by sending them to one of your wallet’s addresses to reduce complexity.
18. What is the gap limit? The gap limit is the number of unused addresses generated by your wallet. By default, Qsafe Wallet stops generating new addresses after 20 unused ones are created.
19. How do I upgrade Qsafe Wallet? To upgrade Qsafe Wallet:
Backup your seed phrase.
Download and use the latest version.
⚠️ Avoid downgrading the wallet as it may lead to compatibility issues.
20. My anti-virus flagged Qsafe Wallet. What should I do? Some anti-virus software may flag cryptocurrency applications due to heuristics. Verify the software’s authenticity by checking its signature and source, or download it from the official website.
21. Does Qsafe Wallet support other cryptocurrencies? No, Qsafe wallet only supports QRN coins. Stay tuned for updates on expanded coin support.
22. Can I run my own Qsafe-compatible server? Yes, Qsafe Wallet allows you to connect to self-hosted servers. This improves privacy and ensures you control your data.
23. How do I pre-generate new addresses?
Use the console command wallet.create_new_address(False) to generate new addresses beyond the default gap limit.
24. How do I enable recent Python compatibility on Linux? If your Linux distribution doesn’t support the required Python version, you can:
Use a pre-built AppImage.
