OneCurrency Tutorial
Your complete setup guide
Set up a self-custody wallet, claim free sats, back up safely, and learn how to send and receive Bitcoin in minutes.
Getting Started
Set up your wallet, choose a domain, and finish the first backup.
Quick Start: 3 steps
- Choose your access point.
- Create your wallet.
- Back up your wallet.
Target time: about 5 minutes.
Step 1: Choose your access point
Both versions are the same wallet. Pick the fastest for your region.
Step 2: Create your wallet (about 60 seconds)
- Click "Create New Wallet".
- Choose 12 words (recommended) or 24 words (extra security).
- Set a wallet passphrase to encrypt your seed on this device.
- Write down your recovery words in order.
- Confirm the words and finish setup.
Never share your recovery words. OneCurrency will never ask for them.
Backups & Recovery
Protect your seed phrase and store encrypted backups securely.
Step 3: Backup your wallet (critical)
- Open the "Backup" tab.
- Export an encrypted backup.
- Save the JSON and the QR code.
- Store copies in safe places (email to yourself, cloud drive, USB, or password manager).
Your backup is encrypted with your password.
Restore on a new device
- Choose "Restore" on the new device.
- Enter your seed phrase or import the encrypted backup.
- Use the same backup password if you import JSON or QR.
- Confirm your balance before wiping the old device.
Fees & Pricing
Know what you pay before you send.
How fees work
- Receiving is free. The sender pays the network fee.
- Sending includes the fixed platform fee (0.00003337 BTC) plus the Bitcoin network fee.
- Higher network fees usually confirm faster.
How to receive Bitcoin
- Open "Receive".
- Copy your address or show the QR code.
- Share it with the sender.
OneCurrency creates new addresses for each payment for privacy.
How to send Bitcoin
- Open "Send".
- Paste the recipient address.
- Enter the amount in BTC or sats.
- Review the fee estimate and confirm.
Low fee = slower confirmation. High fee = faster confirmation.
Privacy & Trust
Keep your keys private and avoid phishing.
Privacy basics
- Your private keys stay on your device.
