Welcome everyone to smartBCH for DUMMIES!

INDEX

  1. #1 GETTING STARTED

  2. #2.1 SETTING UP A WALLET (PC)

  3. #2.2 SETTING UP A WALLET (ANDROID)

  4. #3 TRANSFER BCH IN & OUT


Today in #2.1 we will create our first SmartBCH wallet using Metamask on Google Chrome Desktop. A complete guide for Android mobile users will come tomorrow!

  1. Installing MetaMask Chrome-Plugin

  2. Creating a new wallet

  3. Connecting to SmartBCH network (automated)

  4. Connecting to SmartBCH network (manually)

Installing MetaMask Chrome-Plugin

Type "Metamask" into searchbar
Click on the MetaMask logo
Click the blue-box on top right to install MetaMask
Click "Add extension" to confirm

Now we have MetaMask installed and a new Browser-tab should pop up.

Creating a new wallet

Click the blue box to move forward. Please excuse the language used here.
Click the right blue-box to create a new wallet. Click the left blue-box to import an excisting wallet.
Help Metamask improving and agree to let them use your data. If you don't want to, check the left box.

IMPORTANT!
GET A PEN AND A PAPER! PEN AND PAPER!

Choose a strong password and type it in there. Also write your password down to a paper. We will also need your pen & paper for next step. Please listen carefully to me and use a pen & paper!!!

read carefully and click the blue-box

ATTENTION! VERY IMPORTANT!

In the black-red highlighted field your secret backup seed will be shown.
PLEASE WRITE THIS SEED DOWN WITH A PEN AND PAPER! WRITE SLOW AND NICE! DO NOT TAKE SCREENSHOTS, DO NOT TAKE PICTURES AND DO NOT PRINT THIS OUT!

Having this seed and your password, you can always restore your wallet and all your funds. If anyone else gets access to your password and seed, he can do with it whatever he wants and everything can be lost!

Click the blue-box to move forward. In the next step you will be asked to write in your seed for confirmation. Please do this and don't skip this task!

After completing all these tasks a new browser-tab will appear and your wallet is set up.

Connecting to SmartBCH network (automated)

Go to www.Marketcap.cash and click on "Add SmartBCH to MetaMask"
Approve Marketcap.cash to add the network
Switch your wallet to the SmartBCH network.

Well, thats it! You now have your own MetaMask wallet, backed up your recovery phrase and switched to the smartBCH network! In the next part we will move some BCH to the smartBCH chain together. Next chapter will show what we need to do if the automated network plugin on Marketcap.cash should not work.

Connecting to SmartBCH network (manually)

Click the extensions icon to show MetaMask. Click the pin next to it, to have it always shown
Click on the MetaMask icon in your Browser. After that click the icon on top right and go to Settings.
Go to Networks and click "Add Network". Afterwards you can type in whats shown.

Disclaimer here:
Sometimes in other tutorials the "Chain-ID" will be shown as 0x2710. 0x2710 is the HEX ID for 10 000. So both will work, type in whatever you like.

There are more RPCs you can choose. If your network doesn't work well, you can just switch the RPC address and see if it gets better.

RPCs:
https://smartbch.greyh.at
https://smartbch.fountainhead.cash/mainnet

Tipp: When in MetaMask, click the 3 dots and go to "Expand view". This will open your wallet in a tab and is way more convenient to use.
