I’m going to show you today how to get up and running with Lisk Nano, this is the official Lisk wallet. Most cryptocurrenies have a wallet and is usually the first step to keeping that currency, especially if you don’t want your funds/coins on an exchange.

To install the Lisk Nano you must download the client at https://github.com/LiskHQ/lisk-nano/releases/tag/v1.3.4

LiskHQ Github for Lisk Nano

Select the version you want to install, also which operating system. In my case I’m installing on windows.

Once you have downloaded you should have executable install file.

Lisk Nano Install

Then double click and it will install.

Lisk Nano Setup

You should then see an extra shortcut icon on your desktop

Lisk Nano when the client opens it looks like the below. You can select the Mainnet or Testnet. If it is the first time you using the Nano Client then you need to create a new account that will provide you a pass phrase. Every time you login you need to enter a pass phrase. I’m going to create a new account.

Lisk nano Client Open

A pop up as seen below will appear. This is the first step to create a unique passphrase for your own wallet.

Create New Account Start

On the next step you need to move your mouse around and then you will see the progress bar go from the left to the right. This generates random bytes that then gives you a unique pass phrase.

Generate Random Bytes

You will then receive your own unique pass phrase. You must keep the pass phrase safe. You need it to logon, without it you can not logon and won’t be able to access your Lisk. KEEP IT SAFE! On the next screen you will be asked to confirm your pass phrase.

Once the steps are completed you will then be logged into the Nano Client.

You can then see your address, this is you wallet address. Can also see if you are on Testnet or Mainnet. I’m on testnet.

Then on the testnet you can go to Lisk Faucet, this is only on the testnet which means it is not real Lisk that you can convert to cash. But is a good way to receive dummy funds to see how it works. The link is https://testnet-faucet.lisk.io/

The website looks like the below. Enter your wallet address from the Nano Client that was just installed, confirm you are not a Robot :)

When you see this message your Lisk has been sent on the Testnet to your wallet.

You will then in Lisk Nano Wallet on Testnet see the 100 Lisk coming in, will also see extra info that you should initialize your account. The easiest is to do a outgoing payment, do this by sending Lisk to yourself. Clicking the “INITIALIZE ACCOUNT” button will send 1 Lisk to yourself.

This window will appear, click send.

Send Lisk Info

Will then get confirmation that it has been submitted for processing.

Lisk Payment Confirmation

You will then see the extra transaction. Can also see the fee of the transaction.

You can now also logon to Mainnet with the same pass phrase and use the same steps as above.

If you have found this helpful and go further on to cast a vote in Lisk DPOS. All I ask is to vote for my delegate. My delegate name is cryptoguyinza
