Send, Receive, and Convert

Although sending and receiving PART is a straightforward process, Particl’s native privacy coin also offers a variety of different options from which you can choose from. This guide will teach you everything you need to know about them and walk you through all the steps.



Send PART

You can send PART to anyone without restrictions using any of the available wallets. Depending on the context, you may want to send funds with a varying level of privacy, which PART easily allows you to do.

Public Transactions

You can send PART using public transactions. This makes the transaction entirely public by permanently inscribing the information of both participants, as well as the transacted amounts, on the blockchain. Public transactions are pseudonymous, akin to regular Bitcoin transactions.

  • Open Particl Desktop and navigate to the Wallet section.

  • Make sure that you have coins in your public balance.

  • Click on the SEND / CONVERT button to open the Send page.

  • Select your public balance and enter the information of the intended recipient of the payment.

  • (Optional) Select the outputs you want to use for that transaction by clicking on the Coin control button.

  • Enter the amount you wish to send, and click on the Make payment button.

  • Verify the payment information in the confirmation pop-up window that appears, and click on the Confirm & Send button to send the payment.


Blind Transactions

  • Make sure that you have coins in your blind balance.

Anonymous Transactions

  • Open Particl Desktop and navigate to the Wallet section.

  • Make sure that you have coins in your anon balance.

  • Click on the SEND / CONVERT button to open the Send page.

  • Select your anon balance and enter the information of the intended recipient of the payment.

  • (Optional) Select the desired level of transactional privacy by clicking on the Advanced options button. Move the slider according to your preferences.

  • (Optional) Generate a new deposit address by clicking on the New public/private address button.

  • Copy the displayed deposit address by clicking on the Copy address button.

  • Send the copied address to the entity sending you the payment.


Convert Balances

You can also move your coins between the three different types of balance available. Refer to the Privacy Guide for more details on transaction types and balances.

  • Open Particl Desktop and navigate to the Wallet section.

  • Click on the SEND / CONVERT button to open the Send page.

  • Click on the Convert Public / Private tab.

  • Select the type of balance you’re sending your coins from on the left and the type of balance you’re sending them to on the right.

  • (Optional) Select the outputs you wish to use by clicking on Coin control and the desired level of privacy (if sending from an anon balance) by clicking on Advanced options.

  • Enter the amount you wish to send, and click on the Make payment button.

  • Verify the balance transfer information in the confirmation pop-up window that appears, and click on the Confirm & Send button to send the payment.

  1. You must wait for twelve (12) confirmations (approximately 24 minutes) before funds transferred in and out of an anon balance can be moved again.

  2. You can track the status of transactions on the Overview page under Recent Transactions.
