Author Guide - So You Want To Hold Some Keys

Step 1: Get A Keypair

Generate a keypair using the key generator. This keypair is how you login and what the software will use to sign all your contracts and commands.

Do not share it. Especially with your sub. It's functionally a password. Anyone with this image/key file can release or unlock a contract.

Protect it. Treat it like a physical key your sub handed you. If you lose it you'll need to find someone to abort the contract.

Step 3: Get A Token From Your Sub

Every sub has two links. One is the "share" link the other is the "total control" link. The "share" token starts with s- and the total control token starts with tc-.

An s- token will let you write a contract and send it to your sub for review and accept/reject. A tc- token will let you write a contract and issue it directly. If the lock is online it will auto-accept it. The website will let you know which you have.

When you load the link it will become a KnownToken and it will always be available on the website under "Lock sessions". You can name the token so you can remember who it came from.

Step 4: Write A Contract

Go nuts. Add bots. Whatever.

Step 4: Enjoy

Step 5: Release

When you're done you'll have a button for Release. That will end the contract.
