Switching between Main-net / Test-net

Clicking on the down-arrow located at the upper-left corner will bring up a menu for selection between Main/Test-net.

To play on the test-net, browse to Ripple Test Net page and click the "generate credentials" button. A new account will be generated, and funded with 10,000 xrp. Just copy down the secret-key and it's address for your own use. You can request as many accounts as you like.

** Please note that the test-net maintained by RL-team will be reset from time to time.

Set Wallet Account

By default, the wallet will be set to use account rHb9CJAWyB4rj91VRWn96DkukG4bwdtyTh when loaded, together with its secret-key.

This account is known as the root_account of Ripple Consensus Ledger. It's the account that's holding all 100-Billion XRP when genesis ledger is created. Its secret-key is publicly known (snoPBrXtMeMyMHUVTgbuqAfg1SUTb), which is derived from the pass phrase "masterpassphrase".

For switching to other account, click the Change button. A dialog-box will pop-up, asking for a new Ripple address. Clicking on the dropdown arrow will bring up a list of recently-used accounts for selection.

The wallet will switch to the new account after clicking Submit. If no secret-key has been set, the account will be in a "read-only" mode. You will need to set its signing-key later if you want to sign/submit a transaction.

Alternatively, on the dialog box, click the use secretkey button. Here, you can input the secret/private-key of an account, or get a new one by clicking New Random Secret.

Address of the account will be generated from the given secret/private-key.
With this method, the Account will be set with its associated private-key ready, hence immediately enabling you to perform transaction signing and submission.

Set/Change the Signing-key

Setting a secret-key is optional. Without the key, you can still use the wallet-app to explore information of an account, just couldn't send any transaction.

To change/set the signing-key for an account, simply click the Change or Set button under the Address.

Input of a secret-key can take either in form of seed or private-key. (more explanation on this in next article). And it could be encoded in base-58, hex, or rfc-1751.
