If you still don't know what DeepOnion is and why is it my favorite coin, you should check out my some of my previous posts. Since I believe that DeepOnion is not just a speculative currency, but has a real value, I would like to provide some tutorial for newbies about how to use DeepOnion. So, let's go.
At first, we'll need a wallet software, which DeepOnion's development team was kind enough to provide for every OS. Installation on Windows and Mac is quite simple, just download the file from the official website and execute. For Linux, you'll need to build it from source, for that follow the tutorial.
After the installation run the program and wait for it to sync with blockchain. DeepOnion Wallet will connect to Tor network by default, so don't need to do anything.
After first launch a new wallet will be generated for you, which may be seen in "Receive coins" section. since we're going to store our funds here, let's don't be lazy and do some backups.
DeepOnion provides a very easy-to-use option to export all your wallets in a single file. Just go to "File"->"Backup Wallet" and save the .dat file. I'll recommend to store it somewhere out of you PC.
The wallet.dat file's backup must be enough, put prefer to control the private key, so if you're a paranoid like me, let's export the private keys too:
dumpprivkey <Your Address>importprivkey <Private Key>Surprise! Yes, you can receive some free $ONIONS from DeepOnion Faucet. Though, its nor much, but it's free and its good to test and get started. Copy your address from DeepOnion wallet, visit deeponion.space and input your address here. You'll receive some $ONIONS within an hour ;)
That's all for today, thanks for reading and comments in advance :)
Follow me, stay in touch, and I'll tell you more about DeepOnion's awesome features!
P.S. If you liked DeepOnion's project and the fact of getting $ONIONS for free it's still not late to join the airdrop and get some bounties. Just check out DeepOnion's official website and the community forum.
