Open a command prompt window (CMD) by clicking the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen, typing “command” & hitting enter.
Repeat this and open a 2nd command prompt window.
In the first command prompt window, navigate to the folder where you installed PRCY (most likely this is “C:\Program Files\PRCYcoin”. If you used a different directory remember to substitute the correct location). Copy/paste/type:
cd C:\Program Files\PRCYcoin
& then hit enter.
Start the daemon by copy/paste/typing:
prcycoind.exe -daemon -datadir=C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\PRCYcoin
Note that you will need to substitute “C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\PRCYcoin” with the location of your data files. You can find these quickly by opening a folder and in the address bar and typing “%appdata%. You should see your PRCYcoin folder there).
Wait 1-2 minutes.
Next, in the 2nd command prompt window navigate to the folder where you installed PRCY – copy/paste/type:
cd C:\Program Files\PRCYcoin
Then unlock your wallet by typing:
prcycoin-cli -datadir=C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\PRCYcoin unlockwallet "yourwalletpassword" 0
It may take a few seconds to several minutes for the command prompt to return, depending on the last time you synced your wallet, so just wait until the prompt returns. Then:
View your balance by typing:
prcycoin-cli -datadir=C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\PRCYcoin getbalances
To stop the wallet before closing down type:
prcycoin-cli.exe -datadir=C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\PRCYcoin stop
Type “help” & hit enter for a list of other commands you can use.
