00:12     Here is where we are at this point.

 We have chosen a particular cryptocurrency from bitcointalk.org.
 We have downloaded the source code to our Ubuntu Virtual Machine.
 We have removed all reference to the previous coin name and replaced it with our own.
 We have removed the permissions and successfully compiled from source without errors.
00:36     However,  until we have our own parameter set, and a new genesis, this is not yet a cryptocurrency of our own.  We need to do a lot of work to create our own blockchain.  But this is a good start!
We will be opening the QT.  So that we can be sure we are still running on the Reden network.  When we do,  we will see that all the text reference to Reden is gone and replaced with our coin name, Vision X.

01:11     The first thing we will do is delete the command in the terminal.  We don't need to run this.   We will go back to our main folder.  Navigate to the SRC folder. Then to the folder named QT.   We can now Run a search for "visionX-qt".   This is what we created when compiling.

Head back to the terminal and we will launch the QT.  We need to navigate to the location of the QT that we have just seen.

01:55     So type "cd src" then "cd qt"  Then, "./visionX-qt" . Before the QT wallet opens, we will face this box asking us where to store the wallet data.   You can already see that our coin name is at the top as Vision X Core.   Click okay.

02:26     Immediately we see the Reden image.   We will be changes that in the next video.   You can also see our coin name above the version number now.  You can see we have a zero balance of Vision X.  There is also a Reden image here that needs to be changed.  Look closely at the bottom.  You can see a status bar.  This shows the sync status of the Reden blockchain.   These are our units of Vision X.   You can see we have one active connection to the network.

03:17     If we click here,  it will open up more information.   Here it confirms that we are still connected to the Reden network.  This is a Reden peer.   See how it says Reden Core and not our coin name.

03:31     The blockchain will take a long time to sync as we are still one year behind.   We don't need to wait though,  we will be removing the Reden blockchain from our code soon.   Switching to the information tab,  we can see general info about the wallet and also network info. Notice how Vision X is replacing Reden.

03:57     We can also see that this is the main network.  The number of connections and the current block number.  This number increases as the sync is in progress.   The other tabs show network traffic,  and the console is a way for you to type in commands.  Similar to the Ubuntu terminal.   There is also a tab to help you with repairing your QT, should you ever have issues.

04:28     Back in the info tab,   we can see the network is still syncing.  The block amount is increasing.  Let's look at some more things the wallet has to offer.   Let's look at the about Vision X tab.  In here you can see that Vision X has been named under the copyright.  There is also a Reden image we must replace.  And here is the Reden thumbnail pic.  We need to replace it for ours too.

05:06     In our next video,  I will show you how to replace all of these images.
