 Your node is now running and starts with a *synchronization process* that downloads the entire blockchain from other nodes. This operation will take many hours to complete, but you are now part of the Dogecoin network!

The RPC server is not exposed with `dogecoin-qt` until you activate the `-server` option as a startup argument, but inside the GUI application, you can use all the commands explored below (without `dogecoin-cli`) by going to `Help -> Debug window` and inside the popup window selecting the tab `Console`.

 ### Creating a wallet
 
-To receive DOGE, you need an address that is securely derived from a private key through a series of automatic, cryptographic operations. The *address* can be shared with anyone to receive DOGE, but the *private key* is  sensitive information that allows anyone that knows it to spend the DOGE on the associated address.
