How can I access the Parity Wallet?

Open your favorite browser and navigate to localhost on port :8180: http://127.0.0.1:8180/

You can change the port with the --ui-port flag. To disable the UI, use --no-ui.

Can I use Mist with Parity?

Yes, run parity --geth in Geth-compatibility mode. This sets the IPC path to be the same as Geth's and allows Mist to connect to Parity. See also [Using Parity with Mist](Using Parity with Mist).

Can I send Bitcoin to my Parity wallet?

No, sending Bitcoin directly to an Ethereum address does not work. However, you can use the Shapeshift integration. Open an account on your wallet and click the blue fox icon.
