A simple interface shows the current balance of the wallet after the history of the blocks of transaction has been synchronized.The set of options is comprehensible even for the uninitiated as the menus are clear as day, with separate sections for payment activities, either incoming or outgoing. Another area shows a list with all the transactions, which also includes the currency that has been mined.
