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.
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.
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.
Bonus: claim free sats
- Open onecurrency.net/onefaucet/.
- Paste your receiving address from the "Receive" tab.
- Complete the captcha and claim sats.
- Repeat hourly or use auto-claim.
Minimum withdrawal: 30,000 sats. Manual review takes 24-48 hours.
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.
