You have to forgive me I'm very new to mining cryptocoins. What program should I use to run the wallet?
You download your wallet according to your computer operating system (OS), you download window wallet for window, linux wallet for linux etc however you do not need any special program to run your wallet just click it like any other app on your system.
well i downloaded the windows wallet and when i clicked on it it asked me what program i want to use to open it.
