Chaincoin Core is the original Chaincoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions, which requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.
To download Chaincoin Core, visit chaincoin.org.
The following are some helpful notes on how to run Chaincoin Core on your native platform.
Unpack the files into a directory and run:
bin/chaincoin-qt(GUI) orbin/chaincoind(headless)
Unpack the files into a directory, and then run chaincoin-qt.exe.
Drag Chaincoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Chaincoin Core.
