Wallet Guide

Recommendedations​

Create a new wallet with only one address, which will remain dedicated to ErgoNation.

Alternatives​

Many prefer to use as few wallets as possible. This section explains how one can participate in ErgoNation with multiple addresses, one of which will be used as the ΣID.

The address used as the ΣID must received funds mixed with Ergo Mixer. Care must be taken to prevent transactions between other wallet addresses from interacting with the ΣID address.

Supported wallets
  • Satergo (node wallet)
  • Ergo Wallet (mobile)
  • Aneta Wallet (mobile)
  • SAFEW (browser extention).
Unsupported wallets

The Nautilus wallet (browser extention) has inbuilt wallet transaction mechanics that make it a poor option for use as a multi-purpose wallet with Ergonation and the ΣID address.

Below are guides to wallets that can currently be used to hold multiple addresses, including the ΣID:

Satergo Wallet (Node)​

Creation​

Create a new address in your wallet, which will only be used with ErgoNation. To avoid confusion, we recommend giving the address a name, for example “ErgoNation ID”.

Funding​

Fund with the Ergo Mixer to ensure anonymity.

Participation in ErgoNation​

If you want to participate in an ErgoNation verification event or voting, it is very important that you only send funds from the unique address discussed above. You can do this by choosing the ΣID address in the Send tab.

If you want to make transactions unrelated to ErgoNation it is very important that you do not send funds from or receive change to your ΣID address. To ensure this you have to click on the cogwheel in the Send tab and unselect the ΣID address and choose a different address as the ‘Change address’.

Ergo Wallet/Aneta Wallet (Mobile)​

Creation​

Create a new address in your wallet, which will only be used with ErgoNation. To avoid confusion, we recommend giving the address a name such as, "ErgoNation ID." This address will be your ΣID.

Funding​

Fund with the Ergo Mixer to ensure anonymity.

Participation in ErgoNation​

When participating in ErgoNation verification events or voting, it is imporant to only send funds from the unique address created above.

Transactions unrelated to Ergonation​

We recommend that the ΣID address is deleted from the wallet, during the time between Ergo Nation events and votes. The wallet will no longer display the ΣID wallet address or funds, but the address still remains on the blockchain and can be restored. To do this click the three dots next to the address name in the address list and select "Remove." Before participating in the next event add the ΣID address back into the wallet.

SAFEW (Browser Extention)​

Creation​

Start by enabling Expert Mode in the SAFEW settings, and create a new account in your wallet. This account will only be used with ErgoNation. The first address within this account will be your ΣID.

Funding​

Fund this address with Ergo Mixer to ensure anonymity.

Participation in ErgoNation​

When participating in ErgoNation verification events or voting, only send funds from the ΣID address and ensure that any returned assets (change) returns to the same address. To do this you must select the ΣID address as the "Change Address" in the "edit wallet" settings.

To send funds only from your ΣID address you need to check only this address, while unchecking all other addresses in the send tab.

After participation has finished, we recommend changing your Change address to an address from a different account, not containing your ΣID.

Transactions unrelated to Ergonation​

Do not send funds or recieve change from your ΣID address. Go into the "edit wallet" settings and set an address from another account as the Change Address. To avoid sending funds from your ΣID address, uncheck this address from your send tab.
