What the video says
- Start here · Part 1 of 3 · What an arcade node is
- The ArcadeCore window
- You: your @name and addresses
- This arcade
- Chains and the mesh
- This is an arcade: a website that one person runs on their own computer. This one runs ArcadeCore, the smallest edition.
- ArcadeCore looks like a classic coin wallet. The menu bar has File for backups, Settings, Window for peers, View, and Help.
- The tabs: Overview, Send, Receive, Transactions, the Address book and Messages. Modules the operator turns on add more tabs after them.
- You: your @name and your address on every chain. It's one account, with one wallet that covers every coin.
- Your keys are made and kept locked in your browser, not on the server. The person running the arcade can't spend your coins.
- This arcade: its version, its owner, and its id on the mesh.
- Underneath are real blockchains. This node runs some itself, like Pepecoin test, and borrows the others from arcades that share theirs.
- Arcades on the mesh: the other arcades this one links to, and who runs them. They connect directly, with no server in the middle.
- The status bar keeps count of how many arcades are linked right now.
- Help has a guide for everything you see here. Next: your @name and your twelve words.
