Tutorial/Guide: Sign-up to Whaleshares using Easydex.

sugarfixPosted for Everyone to comment on, 5 years ago3 min read

I've recently helped several people sign up to Whaleshares as although simple it isn't particularly intuitive. As it always helps to have a little hand holding I thought it would be a good idea to have a general guide that people could just use.

This guide is valid from 6th November 2018. Please comment below if things change and I will update

Creating an Easydex Account.

(1). Open your browser and in a new tab go to https://exchange.easydex.net/create-account
(2). Click create webwallet (I find that many people have problems creating a local account)

(3). Give yourself a name with either a hyphen or number eg. my-name or myname27
(4). Make a password or generate one.
(5). COPY PASSWORD DOWN - Store it somewhere safe - use a password manager - if you lose this password you will lose your tokens/money.
(6). Check the boxes “STORE AN ENCRYPTED COPY OF MY PASSWORD WITH EASYDEX” and “I HAVE WRITTEN DOWN OR OTHERWISE STORED MY PASSWORD”
(7). Hit create account button at the bottom of screen. This may take a while.

(14) Write a little about yourself - what you plan to post on etc. - If you have a Steemit account or other social media then you should link to it. You need to convince Whaleshares admin that you are worth giving an account to. Click Save Message when done.

(15) On Step 2 you should see a code in red - copy this.

If you have problems you can find help on the Whaleshales Discord server. https://discord.gg/ctYcMum

The You Got Snekked server on Discord is a crossplatform channel so if you are using Steemit, Weku etc. you’ll find like minded people. https://discord.gg/qA5uUyM That’s where you are likely to find me and all the really groovy people (cough). Remember to bring apples for Snekky.
