First-Time Setup Guide

Welcome to SSP Wallet!

This guide will walk you through setting up your SSP Wallet 2-of-2 multisignature system in about 10 minutes. You'll need two devices: a computer (or mobile browser) and a smartphone.

📋 What You'll Need

Required Devices

• 🖥️ Computer/Laptop with Chrome, Firefox, or Brave browser

• 📱 Smartphone (iOS 15.1+ or Android 7+)

• 🌐 Internet Connection on both devices

• ✏️ Pen and Paper for seed phrase backup (physical backup only!)

Estimated Time

• Setup: 10 minutes

• First Transaction: 2 minutes

• Complete Tutorial: 15 minutes total

🚀 Step 1: Install SSP Wallet (Browser Extension)

Chrome/Brave Installation

1. Visit Chrome Web Store

   🔗 https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ssp-wallet/mgfbabcnedcejkfibpafadgkhmkifhbd

2. Click "Add to Chrome"

3. Pin Extension to toolbar for easy access

4. Click SSP Wallet icon to begin setup

Firefox Installation

1. Visit Firefox Add-ons

   🔗 https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/ssp-wallet/

2. Click "Add to Firefox"

3. Pin to toolbar and click icon to start

📱 Step 2: Install SSP Key (Mobile App)

iOS Installation

1. Open App Store

2. Search "SSP Key" or visit:

   🔗 https://apps.apple.com/app/ssp-key/id6463717332

3. Install and open the app

Android Installation

1. Open Google Play Store

2. Search "SSP Key" or visit:

   🔗 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.runonflux.sspkey

3. Install and open the app

🔐 Step 3: Create Your First Wallet

On SSP Wallet (Browser)

1. Click "Create New Wallet"

2. Set Strong Password

   ✅ At least 12 characters
   ✅ Mix of letters, numbers, symbols
   ✅ Unique to SSP Wallet
   ✅ Store in password manager

3. Write Down Seed Phrase

   ⚠️  CRITICAL SECURITY STEP
   ✅ Write on paper (not digitally)
   ✅ Double-check spelling
   ✅ Store in secure location
   ✅ Make multiple copies

4. Pass the Word Challenge

   • The wallet asks you to pick specific words of your phrase (e.g., "Word #2") from a set of choices — this verifies your backup is real

5. Make It Yours

   • Give your wallet a name and accent color so you can spot it at a glance

6. Wallet Created Successfully!

   • You'll see your empty wallet dashboard

Important: First Device Complete ✅

Your browser extension now holds Key #1 of your 2-of-2 multisig system.

📲 Step 4: Set Up SSP Key (Mobile)

On SSP Key App

1. Open SSP Key App

2. Choose "Create New Key"

3. Set PIN or Biometric

   ✅ Use 6+ digit PIN
   ✅ Enable Face ID/Touch ID if available
   ✅ Choose secure but memorable PIN

4. Write Down Mobile Seed Phrase

   ⚠️  SECOND CRITICAL STEP
   ✅ This is DIFFERENT from wallet seed
   ✅ Write on paper separately
   ✅ Store in different location from wallet seed
   ✅ Both seeds needed for full recovery

5. Confirm Mobile Seed Phrase

   • Pass the 3-word challenge: pick the requested words of your phrase from the choices shown (this replaces the old "I backed it up" switch)

6. Key Created Successfully!

   • You'll see "Ready to Sync" screen

Important: Second Device Complete ✅

Your mobile app now holds Key #2 of your 2-of-2 multisig system.

🔄 Step 5: Synchronize Your Devices

This step connects your two keys to create secure multisig addresses.

Start Synchronization

1. On SSP Wallet (Browser)

   1. The pairing screen shows a large QR code
   2. Optional: select extra chains to activate along with Bitcoin
      (one approval on the Key activates them all)
   3. Keep this screen open — it shows live pairing status

2. On SSP Key (Mobile)

   1. Tap "Scan Code"
   2. Point camera at QR code on computer screen
   3. Slide to approve the synchronisation,
      then confirm with biometrics or password

Automatic Sync Process

📱 SSP Key scans QR code
    ↓
🔄 Devices exchange public keys securely
    ↓  
🔐 Multisig addresses generated
    ↓
🔑 Both devices show the same 6-word verification code
    ↓
✅ Sync Complete!

Verify Synchronization (Important!)

Both devices show a 6-word verification code, each derived independently from the synced keys:

• 📷 In SSP Key, tap "Scan wallet to verify" and scan the wallet's verification QR — or compare the 6 words by eye

• ✅ Words match → your pairing is genuine; no one (not even the relay) tampered with it. Click "They match — continue"

• 🚨 Words differ → STOP. Do not use the wallet — choose "They don't match" and re-pair. See Pairing Verification Code

Both devices should then show:

• ✅ "Synchronization Successful"

• ✅ Same wallet addresses displayed

🎉 Step 6: Your First Transaction Test

Let's verify everything works with a small test transaction.

Get Your Wallet Address

1. Click "Receive" in SSP Wallet

2. Copy your Bitcoin address (starts with 'bc1')

3. Share this address to receive funds

Send a Small Test Amount

1. Get small amount of Bitcoin (from exchange/friend)

2. Send to your SSP address

3. Wait for confirmation (usually 10-60 minutes)

Test Sending

1. Click "Send" in SSP Wallet — sending is a guided 3-step flow (Details → Review → Approve)

2. Enter recipient address — an address you control (e.g. your exchange deposit address or a second wallet you own). Do not enter a testnet or faucet address: on mainnet a testnet address (starting tb1) is invalid and will be rejected, and a faucet is where you obtain testnet coins, not a destination to send to.

3. Enter small amount ($1-5 worth)

4. Review transaction details — the review step always shows the full recipient address; the fee is automatic (override it if you like)

5. Continue to approval

Mobile Approval Process

🖥️  SSP Wallet creates transaction
    ↓
📱 SSP Key receives notification and decodes it on-device
    ↓
👤 You verify the plain-language summary, then slide to approve
    ↓
✅ Transaction broadcasts to network

Success! 🚀

If the test transaction completes, your SSP Wallet setup is perfect!

🛡️ Critical Security Steps

Secure Your Seed Phrases

⚠️  NEVER store seed phrases digitally
✅ Write on physical paper
✅ Store in different secure locations  
✅ Consider safety deposit box for large amounts
✅ Make multiple copies
❌ No photos, no cloud storage, no password managers

Device Security

✅ Enable screen locks on both devices
✅ Use strong, unique passwords
✅ Enable automatic updates
✅ Install reputable antivirus software
✅ Never lend devices to others for crypto operations

Backup Verification

Test your backups NOW while setup is fresh in memory:

1. Record your current wallet addresses

2. Reset SSP Wallet (only do this once your seed phrases are safely backed up)

3. Restore from your wallet seed phrase

4. Re-sync with SSP Key — scan the wallet's QR code. This is required first: after a restore the wallet holds only Key #1, so it cannot show any multisig addresses until it re-syncs with your SSP Key (Key #2)

5. Verify the same addresses generate — once re-synced, the addresses should match those you recorded in step 1

🚨 Emergency Information

If Something Goes Wrong

• Lost Device: Use seed phrase to restore on new device

• Forgotten Password: Restore wallet using seed phrase

• Sync Problems: Try manual QR code sync or restart both apps

• Technical Issues: Report via GitHub Issues
