Step 2: Download and Install
If you choose a software wallet, download it from the official website or the corresponding app store. Be sure to verify the authenticity of the app to avoid downloading malicious software.
To verify the authenticity of a Bitxor wallet app and avoid downloading malicious software, you can follow these steps:
🔎 Official website: always download the app directly from the wallet’s official website, especially if it’s Bitxor Wallet. Avoid third party links or unofficial app stores.
🔗 URL verification: Make sure the website URL is correct and not a spoof with minor variations meant to mislead (such as subtle misspellings).
☑️ Comments and ratings: Read the app’s reviews and ratings in the store. A legitimate app will have many reviews from real users. However, beware of fake reviews.
📃 Security certificates: Check the website’s security certificates (such as SSL/TLS). A URL beginning with “https://” indicates a secure connection.
📰 References in trusted media: Check for references or reviews of the application in trusted media or technology websites.
💬 Social networks and forums: Check on social networks and cryptocurrency forums to get opinions and experiences from other users.
⚙️ Updates and developers: Research the app developers and make sure they provide regular updates and support.
By following these steps, you can minimize the risk of downloading a fraudulent app and protect your cryptocurrency assets.
Step 3: Creating the Wallet
Once installed, open the application and select the option to create a new wallet. The process may vary slightly depending on the wallet, but generally you will be prompted to create a strong and secure password.
Step 4: Backing up the Recovery Key
During the creation process, you will be provided with a recovery key, usually a series of words known as a ‘seed phrase’ or ‘seed words’. It is crucial that you write this key down and store it in a safe place. This key is the only way to recover your Bitxor wallet in the event of loss, theft or damage to the device.
Step 5: Verification and Configuration
Some wallets may require additional steps such as verifying your email or setting up additional security measures, such as two-factor authentication. This is especially common with exchanges or third-party escrow services.
Step 6: Receive and Send Bitxor Coin (BXR)
🔻 To receive Bitxor (BXR): Share your Bitxor public address.
🔺 To send Bitxor (BXR): You will need the recipient’s public address and you will need to follow the wallet instructions to complete the transaction.
Step 7: Maintenance and Security
Finally, it is crucial to keep your software up to date and be aware of security measures. Avoid sharing your private key or recovery phrase with third parties and consider using hardware wallets for additional security.
