Before you can post, vote or tip on SignaL, you need a SASEUL wallet. It takes about five minutes, and one rule matters more than anything else: only you should ever hold your private key.
- Open Wallet (/wallet) and tap "New wallet".
- A private key is generated. Copy it right away and back it up somewhere safe. If you lose the 64-character key, SignaL cannot recover it for you. Never share it with anyone.
- Tap "Create and connect". You will see a 44-character address — that is your wallet address.
- Turn on "Save on this device" and set a device password of at least 10 characters. Easy ones like 1111111111 or password123 are rejected. Next time, even after a browser restart, you only type this password.
- Check Auto-lock on the wallet screen. The default is 1 hour; you can choose 30 minutes. Don't turn it off on a shared computer.
Good to know
- Your private key is never sent to SignaL servers. It is kept, encrypted, only on your device.
- SignaL is a browser wallet. Keep larger funds in your main wallet and use SignaL like a pocket-money wallet with just what you need.
- With a brand-new wallet you can tap "Claim welcome bonus" once (default 1 SL). Wallets with existing activity, or suspected abuse, may be refused.
- Right before any signature that sends SL, SignaL asks for your device password again, so someone picking up an unlocked device still can't send without it.
