Start with a new wallet
Write down its recovery words and store them somewhere private. Try mining. If you earn a reward, stop mining and reopen the app. Check that your balance returns once the wallet catches up with the chain.
Beta testing notes
Help me find what needs fixing.
Start with the checks below. If you get stuck, tell me which step caused the problem and what the app showed.
This is a test network. Test SLTHY has no market value. Wallets, balances, and the chain will reset before live launch. Do not buy or sell test coins.
Try the controls
Choose a different CPU thread count in Settings or select a different public node. If an update is available, try installing it. If a button or status message behaves oddly, note what you did just before it happened.
Test recovery and sending
Restore a test wallet from its recovery words and check its address and balance. Once rewards are spendable, send a small amount to a second wallet and confirm it arrives.
Download checksums
Compare your file's SHA256 hash with its entry in the current checksum list. Check that the filename and version match your download. The downloads page also lists the current files and hashes.
Choosing a node
Borogove is on the US East Coast, Mome is on the West Coast, and Rath is in Europe. Try a different one if your connection is slow.
Your computer does the mining. The public nodes check and pass along blocks. The explorer shows recent chain activity if you want to compare it with your wallet.
Send me the details
Include your Slithy version and operating system, then describe what you clicked and what happened. For a mining or connection problem, add the selected node and CPU thread count. A screenshot often helps explain it.
Never send recovery words, wallet passwords, private keys, or seed files. Support will not ask for them. Check screenshots for private information before sending them.
