What the video says
- Start here · Part 2 of 3 · Your @name and twelve words
- Pick your @name
- Choose a password
- Your twelve words
- Anyone can join an arcade, and it takes about a minute. Open the arcade's home page and choose to join.
- Your @name is how people find you, for messages, payments and posts. It's claimed on the Pepecoin test chain, which every arcade reads.
- Pick a name. The page tells you if it's free. Check the field first: it can arrive filled in with a suggestion.
- Then a password of twelve characters or more. It locks your keys in this browser. Nobody can reset it, so keep it safe.
- Your wallet is made right here, in your browser, from twelve words. They're blurred in this video; on your screen they're clear.
- Write them on paper, in order. They're your only way back: the arcade never sees your words, your password or your keys.
- Anyone who has your twelve words has your coins. Never type them into a website or send them to anyone.
- You're in. Your @name is claimed on the chain within a minute or two, and you have an address for every coin.
