Wallet Walk-through
Initial Setup
1. Hierarchical Deterministic Key Generation
The new mobile My Bismuth Wallet is using the BIS HD standard for generating keys. The mobile Wallet lets you either create a new wallet (seed) or you can import a seed which you already have. Seeds and addresses are compatible with Angainor’s paper wallet. link
2. QR Scan Option
When importing the secret phrase you have the option to QR Scan the secret phrase (seed) or you can copy and paste the seed.
3. Password Protected & Biotmetrics
For security reasons you can define a password for opening the mobile wallet app. It is also possible to use biometrics instead.
4. Backup Seed
When you have created a completely new secret phrase (seed), double check that you backup your secret phrase in a non digital manner. This is the most important step to be able to recover the mobile wallet. No one else but you is able to recover your wallet.
Do not use the sample secret shown here, since it’s public any fund will be robbed. This seed is also available later on, provided you remind the PIN you used.
5. Wallet PIN Support
Create and backup your wallet PIN to send Bismuth transactions.
6. Send and Receive Transactions
This is the standard My Bismuth Wallet view after creating a completely new wallet. Your first Bismuth address account has been created and you are all set for receiving Bismuth.
