In order to order a 3node you need a so-called “Farm ID”. In this farm you place one or more nodes. This farm is linked to your personal wallet in which you receive the revenues of your 3node.
Here is a step-by-step explanation that makes this easy!
Installing the Threefold Connect App
1) User Name Creation
After launching the App, you first choose a username.
Enter a valid email address, it will be verified during this process.
IMPORTANT: Seedphrase (private key)
Note: This step is very important, please read it carefully:
In this step, you will be presented with a so-called seedphrase. These are 24 random words unique to account and wallet.
NEVER share these words with others, but write them all down!
Do not take a picture or screenshot, but preferably write them down with pen and paper and store them carefully. This seedphrase can never be provided by anyone else. If you lose these 24 words you will no longer have access to your wallet.
At the bottom, confirm that you have written down your username and seedphrase.
To check that you have saved the seedphrase, you are asked here to choose 3 random words from the 24 words you just wrote down, separated by a space. (no comma!)
Once you have successfully created the account, this overview appears. Here you will see the chosen username and e-mail address.
You can make any changes here by clicking on the pencil.
Then click on Finish.
Choose a 4-digit PIN code here, this will give you easy access to your farm and wallet in the future.
Confirm email address
A verification email has been sent to you. Please open this mail and click on the link to confirm your email address. If successful, you will see this image on the right in your browser.
2) Create Wallet
Creating a Wallet is now very easy. Select Wallet from the App menu.
Simply click the Initialize Wallet button.
At this point, your wallet will temporarily be named “Daily,” which you can change later.
You can also add multiple wallets here at a later time. Advanced users can import a wallet via the + button in the top right corner.
Done! Your wallet has been created. In the overview, you’ll see the Stellar wallet, which is a wallet on the Stellar blockchain.
You’ll also find a TFchain, a chain created by ThreeFold.
This is purely informational; you don’t need to take any further action. Your TFT will automatically be sent to this Stellar wallet every month.
If you’d like to view the address of these wallets or change the name “Daily,” click on the Daily wallet and then on the i button at the bottom.
3) Create a Farm
The last step; select Farming from the App’s menu.
The app will briefly search for existing farms but will indicate that no farms have been found.
Click the plus sign (+) in the top right corner to create a new farm.
Enter a name of your choice for your farm, which will eventually appear publicly in the overview of thousands of farmers worldwide.
Next, select your Daily wallet (or the new name you may have assigned to it) and click the Create button.
If successful, a confirmation will appear as shown here.
Done!
When you open the farm using the arrow in the top right corner, you’ll see an overview of everything you need.
The number you see next to Farm ID is what you’ll provide when ordering a 3Node or use if you’re building your own node and installing the software yourself.
Happy farming!
