6 simple steps to secure your TkeycoinsSecurity. 6 simple steps to secure your Tkeycoins
Dear users!
Due to the increasing number of frauds related to WIF, we have decided to offer you a short guide to help protect your funds even if you have lost your WIF. We will also cover some security measures that have not been mentioned before.
First of all, you need to be aware that you only need your WIF for transferring the funds you have purchased to your local Tkeycoin wallet. We do not recommend using WIF as a primary tool for safeguarding your funds, since you have wallet.dat. file which was developed with this purpose in mind.
Wallet.dat may be seen as you wallet in a nutshell - it stores all the basic wallet-related info, so you can easily restore the access to your funds even if your WIF is destroyed in a catastrophe, stolen or lost. Or, which is more likely, in case your hardware fails.
How to use WIF?
Install a local Tkeycoin wallet on your computer;
Import WIF by following the instructions here (
https://tkeycoin.com/en/getstarted/guides/index.html);Generate a new address and copy it (
https://tkeycoin.com/en/getstarted/guides/index.html#3);Transfer your funds to the address you receive. (For this, see See the section ‘How to send your funds’ here
https://tkeycoin.com/en/getstarted/guides/index.html#4). We recommend you to use only the addresses that are newly-generated, forgetting about the very existence of WIF and the address initially associated with it);5
Create a backup of your wallet.dat file and save it on an separate USB-drive. Store the drive in a safe place and make sure no unauthorised third party has access to it.Read more about finding wallet.dat on your PC and making a backup in our mining manual (available in Russian only) -
https://tkeycoin.com/ass…/static/downloads/user-guide-lw.pdf (pp 31-32);
Encrypt your wallet. Why should you do it? If you encrypt your wallet, in case fraudsters get access to your wallet.dat file, they will be unable to use your funds because the system will ask them to enter the password you set when encrypting wallet.dat.
Accordingly, no one but you will be able to access your funds. Read more about wallet encryption on p. 34 of our mining manual (see the link above).
After completing these 6 simple steps, not only will you import your purchased funds using WIF and get more reliable tool for protecting them (which is wallet.dat), but you will also make sure your money is 100% safe, even if a theft of your WIF and wallet.dat occurs. You must agree that it’s better to spend 20 minutes on completing several simple actions than to lose a lot of money later, because of your own carelessness.
Anyway, it’s up to you to decide.
Your Tkeycoin Team
Tkeycoin - Your Own BankDear investors!
We often say that every Tkeycoin platform user acts as his or her own bank. Meaning its your own responsibility to ensure the safety of your sensitive financial info like passwords and private keys.
But being “your own bank’ not only enforces a higher level of responsibility and organization - there is much more to it. First of all, it makes the life of any user easier, safer and more comfortable than ever before. Today we are going to talk about the advantages of the decentralized Tkeycoin platform. For your convenience, we will use traditional banking services as a reference.
So, Tkeycoin platform is a kind of bank, but a decentralized one. You can store your savings there, make money transfers and pay for goods and services you buy. Besides, you control your personal data.
The advantages of this solution is obvious - no one can leak your personal information to a third party, use it as they wish, lose it or modify it. Nobody can change the rules of the game unilaterally, freezing or blocking your account due to a government bill or technical problems. Your assets are totally yours, and this is not the only thing we have to offer.
TKEY cryptocurrency is the working fluid, circulating inside the system. It can be compared to the fiat currencies moving inside your bank. Your cryptocurrency wallets can be compared to bank accounts or credit cards. Easy to access current account is a kind of hot wallet, and better protected saving account is a hardware one.
If you wish, you can move your TKEY between your wallets - the same way you move your money between your accounts in a bank app. You can also transfer your money to other Tkeycoin users or receive money from them - easily and almost instantly. In this sense our platform is as good as any modern online bank.
Note that you do not have to pay additional fees when transferring money to a Tkeycoin user who resides in another region or country. It is a hefty advantage, especially if you regularly send big sums of money to friends, relatives or partners residing abroad.
Another banking feature we love is credit card. We all know how convenient it is. We don’t have to carry cash in case of unforeseen expenses. We can still buy the goods we want even if the vendor has no change. You swipe or hold your card against a POS terminal, and the payment is processed. Good news - this opportunity will soon be available to Tkeycoin users, too! The difference is that you will not have to carry the card with you, it will be possible to pay for everything using a mobile app.
If you already use mobile payment, the procedure is familiar to you. You press the button in the app, hold the phone against the terminal and - voila! - the payment is made. In this case TKEY will be converted to fiat money without any additional manipulations on your side, like if you were buying something abroad with a card, using your ruble account (though in case of traditional bank it’s not a wise option at all).
Besides, Tkeycoin platform gives its users an opportunity to mine coins. In a way, this process can be compared to investment: you invest money in necessary hardware and pay electricity bills to get stable passive income. Looks like a small business inside the huge Tkeycoin ecosystem.
In conclusion, Tkeycoin platform provides you with familiar-looking, but more efficient, reliable and totally decentralized financial multi-tools. Like in a bank, you will have your own account allowing to make all the necessary financial transactions but in a faster and cheaper manner. Those transactions include money transfers between your own accounts, sending and receiving transfers from/to other users, paying for goods and services with a mobile device, as well as buying and selling your crypto assets.
If you need cash at some point, you will be able to get it using an exchanger/exchange website. The first option offers a fixed exchange rate, simplified registration procedure, user-friendly interface and speed. The second one features lower fees, higher security level, 24/7 operation and wider variety of currency pairs.
Whatever you choose, make sure it is a reliable service that has been working for some time, and can boast positive reviews and professional customer support. We do recommend you to use the exchangers/exchanges that are our official partners, because such platforms are submitted to a check by the TKEY DMCC Security service.

Thanks for your time and attention!
Tkeycoin local wallet interface. Receive tabDear friends!
In our new Interface rubric we will be analyzing more closely the distinctive features and functional elements of our products, offering recommendations on their more effective use.
Traditionally, we will start with the local wallets interface.
So, what is the first thing to pay attention to?
IMPORTANT! On entering the wallet, the first thing to do should be importing the WIF on your main PC. Then encrypt your wallet and create a backup of the wallet.dat file. Read more about the procedure here -
https://www.facebook.com/tkeycoin/photos/a.280172305932587/376679972948486/?type=3&theaterThis task completed, you can go to other functions of the wallet. For example, the Receive tab, the most important of all.
Receive tab
In this section, you can request some amount of TKEY, generate a new address for your wallet and then use it for mining or receiving funds. Also, you can divide your funds here. In this section, you can also view a list of the previously generated addresses with corresponding labels, messages and the amounts requested.
Label
Label are visible only to you and serve for more convenient transactions display and your Tkeycoin wallet funds segmentation. You can set a label both for receiving and sending funds. Labels are useful as they allow you to set unique names for all your addresses. For example, you can set the label “Alex” for one of your addresses and send this address to Alex. Every time when Alex sends you money, you will see this name in the list of your transactions.
Also, you can create an “ASUS Mining” label and generate an individual address for the ASUS laptop you use for Tkeycoin mining. Every time your laptop receives a reward, you will see it in your transactions. Labels can be used for a variety of purposes, limited only by your own imagination and needs.
Message
This tool allows you to make your Tkeycoin network transaction even more unique. You can enter some message when requesting payments from other users. Like labels, messages are visible only to you. The senders of funds cannot see them, even when they open a URI link.
URI
If you are a really advanced internet user, this tool will seem very familiar to you - many experienced users remember magnet links in torrents, IRC chat rooms and other clients. In Tkeycoin wallet, URI is a link that automatically redirects you to the Send tab, where the address of the sender and the amount to be sent are indicated. To open the link go to File - Open URI.
Such links are extremely useful if you are unwilling to reveal your personal data or want to quickly request Tkeycoins for one of your addresses. You just send the link to the sender in the format
tkeycoin:qHV8mzvdu2oVhBtrRttpfHwcOszJoJ3SXz and s/he will be automatically directed to the Send menu, with your address already entered there. As simple as that.
Requested payments history
Here you can view all of your previously created fund requests on the Tkeycoin network. Labels and messages will allow you to tell one funds receipt from another, and the Date and Requested (TKEY) columns let you add even more details about each transaction.
You can copy URI, Address, Label or Message - just right-click on the address you need and select the item you want to copy. You can also delete an address from the list using the Delete button. However, you will keep receiving funds to a remote address, and seeing the corresponding notifications in your wallet.
That's all for today. In the next part, we will continue to explore the interface of the local Tkeycoin wallet for macOS, Windows and Linux. Stay with us!

Why You Need TKEY Full Node on Your PCDear users!
In our previous publications we often used the term “full node”. However, we never talked about its advantages in detail. Neither we explained why you need it at this stage of the project development. Let's figure it out, finally.
The local Tkeycoin Core (Tkeycoin GUI) Wallet is a full node that contains the complete version of the TKEY blockchain. In other words, by downloading a local wallet to your PC or laptop, you store a copy of all the transactions made on Tkeycoin network. Meaning no hacker or fraudster can steal your money or falsify your transactions.
Besides, by storing a full node on your PC you help maintaining the network, since full nodes are responsible for its security and reliability. The more full copies the network has, the higher its overall safety level. This is why at the initial stage of Tkeycoin network development it is really important that as many people as possible have a local wallet installed on their computers.
In addition to its ‘public service’ function, a full node is very useful for you personally. Today, having a local Tkeycoin wallet is the most reliable way to store your TKEY. In fact, if you disconnect the computer with a wallet from the web, you will be left with a typical cold wallet that is impossible to hack.
In addition, if you have a full node on your PC, you can directly interact with your computer only, with no need of trustful relationships with other peers (nodes). It’s not unlike creating your own bank where you can securely store your funds, make money transfers and distribute your funds between different accounts (addresses). No third parties needed to make the transactions you want.
So, let's sum it up, highlighting the main advantages of a full node:
- You store the complete version of the blockchain - the fact that allows you not to worry about the safety of your funds;
- You help maintaining the network, contributing to reliability and security of the blockchain in general;|
- You provide information about network to new users who connect to it;
- You help other users make transactions;
- You can store your currency in a hardware (cold) wallet, which is 100% immune to hacker attacks;
- By storing a full node on your PC, you make a significant contribution to the development of the network and the Tkeycoin project in general.
Tkeycoin. Upcoming PlansDear users!
As you know, in recent weeks a whole host of various news and rumors have appeared around the Tkeycoin project, both negative and positive. Not all of them were 100% truthful, some never had anything to do with reality, and all the rest really carried the truth and insiders to the masses. In this text we will talk about the last group - we will tell you all the nearest plans and current deals of the Tkeycoin project.
Let's start with one of the most important events which is APA-2019. Many of you have not fully understand the scale and significance of this event, so let’s speak again how a speech at the Asian Parliamentary Assembly is beneficial and important for our project. First of all, TKEY DMCC was the only company that was invited to the meeting as experts, and we were the only ones who spoke at it too. Our delegation not only managed to convey a number of ideas to improve modern financial systems but also managed to demonstrate Tkeycoin products at the state level and receive quite broad feedback from parliamentarians.
In particular, preliminary agreements were reached on launching demo projects using Tkeycoin at the state level in a number of APA member countries. This means that the government itself will indirectly urge people in the country to use our technologies, we will have support on the state level and will implement our solutions to the main structures of a country.
In addition, the state level entering means increased regulation and attention to the quality of the solutions being developed. In other words, going to such a high level, we declare that we will do everything properly and are ready for us to be thoroughly examinated. In many respects, it is precisely with this that there are delays in the development of some products, however, believe me, we just want to do everything qualitatively.
Compliance with the highest standards will be especially useful to our project in view of the upcoming adoption in the Russian Federation of the law on the regulation of cryptocurrencies, which will “clear out” the market from poor quality and scam projects and bring it to another level. By the way, we are already working on obtaining licensing of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, and very soon this process should be victorious for us to end. The license of the Central Bank will allow us to create a truly unique payment platform, as well as open a number of new, previously unexplored perspectives. The cryptocurrency market is now quite raw, and we will become the first major blockchain project (perhaps not only in Russia, but also in the world), which will receive such a high legal status.
APA-2019 has been extremely useful for us in terms of developing a business strategy. Delegates from APA member states gave us a number of recommendations for doing business at the international level. As a result, we decided to adjust our course on a number of issues, including listing on stock exchanges and product line updates. For those who are particularly worried about listing, we hasten to inform you: the latest news about the exchanges is on the way and very soon we will tell you everything. In the meantime, we can only say that we will go to really serious and top sites that do not sin with inflated bidding and are not noticed in various kinds of violations and delays in withdrawing funds.
As for the local wallet, the release with the long-awaited automineer during these hours passes the final tests. With further versions, everything in the desktop version of the wallet will become much more comfortable and pleasant to the eye. In addition, all users will have access to new useful tools that are already in the backend, but have not yet reached the visual implementation in the front end. The current version was largely implemented to maintain the network's performance, as well as for a kind of report to investors - in the future, the client will radically change for the better.
A number of changes will also be made to the TKEY protocol itself, and by the autumn there will be several unique solutions that we have never talked about before and which today have no analogs in the world. It is precise because of the exclusivity of our developments that we do not post the code in open access and do not plan to do it in the near future. For third-party services, such as exchanges and exchangers, we will develop a special docker that will allow you to integrate TKEY into a particular system in a few clicks. In addition to the ease of installation, the docker is also good for its security - the site carefully checks each product for viruses and overall reliability.
In June, a mobile wallet will be released, which in the first version will receive a pleasant and convenient design, as well as provide the ability to store and monitor funds to those users who for one reason or another do not use local wallets for PCs. Of the other nice features worth noting the built-in exchange TKEY for BTC, ETH and fiat currency, starting with the second version of the application. In fact, you do not even need a stock exchange, since it will be possible to convert currencies between each other directly in the Tkeycoin mobile application. At the first stage, 4 cryptocurrencies and several fiat currencies will be available for exchange. In the future, the number of cryptocurrencies will be increased to 20. Expected payments by many in stores via mobile will also become available in version 2-3 of the application. At the same time, built-in chat rooms will also appear so that Tkeycoin users can communicate with each other directly in the official app.
Do not ignore the topic of sales on tkeycoin.market. Prior to the release of cryptocurrency on the stock exchange, this resource will be the only official place where you can buy TKEY without fear of fraud and fraud. These days, the demand for Tkeycoin among users from Asian countries has significantly increased, in particular, traffic and demand for coin from Hong Kong has noticeably increased. If we now close the purchase on tkeycoin.market, then people will buy from scammers and we will create a dark and unreliable market with our own hands. As long as there is demand and while we have not yet entered the stock exchange, you can buy Tkeycoin on tkeycoin.market at the rate of $ 1.
In conclusion, we once again urge all users to be patient, because it is during these weeks that the Tkeycoin project moves to the stage where it is necessary to think through every action and thoroughly debug and refine every function and button of any product.
Work in all directions is carried out by our team 24/7, next week we will please you with really good news. Hold on, it's coming.
Ps. Tkeycoin web wallet will also be launched in June

How to store big amounts of TKEYEveryone knows the rule ‘Don't keep all your eggs in one basket ”. It is especially true of cryptocurrencies, division of funds being one of the main security principles. It’s even more important if you deal with large amounts of coins.
Ok, let’s suppose you have 1,000,000 TKEY.
How do you divide them between the “baskets” if you seek to 1) have enough funds easily available for trading on the exchange and current expenses and 2) guarantee the safety of the bulk of your crypto capital?
The first thing to do would be to download the wallet software to your main PC. Then import your WIF there, encrypt the wallet, create a backup of the wallet.dat file and save it on two or even three flash drives. We recommend placing one of them in a bank vault in case of disaster like fire or flood. The other copies should be hidden in a really safe place.
Now this main PC is your bank, a reliable storage for the bulk of your assets. If you possess multiple devices mining the coin, the coins they extract can also be sent to the address generated on the main PC. It is similar to setting up an automatic money transfer from additional credit cards to the main one. Please note, that you import the WIF, encrypt the wallet and backup it ONLY on the main PC. There is no need to do it on every device you have.
If you need a part of your funds to be easily accessible, allocate some 20,000 TKEY for exchange trading and another 10,000 for your current expenses. Keep the first part on a big and well-reputed exchange and use the second one for your daily purchases, money transfers and other transactions, using a mobile wallet.
In conclusion, we want to stress that a mobile wallet and an account on a major crypto exchange are also very reliable. However, if you are dealing with a large crypto capital, it is better to follow our recommendations to increase your funds safety. It is intuitive that you should not keep millions of dollars in the sock drawer or, even worse, in the wallet. Even if you live in a safe neighborhood, and use the most secure lock in the world.
We hope you follow our tips.
