Creating a new MEWconnect Wallet

This article provides you with step-by-step instructions to set up a MyEtherWallet MEWconnect Wallet to receive BOLT Tokens.

Before You begin

Be sure you have the following:

• An Android or iPhone with up-to-date operating system.
• A desktop computer (PC/Windows or Mac/OSX)
• Both devices connected to the same network, if possible.

Getting Started

• On your desktop, enter https://www.myetherwallet.com into your web browser and bookmark the page — and always use the bookmarked link in future.
  Warning: NEVER use Google to search for the page, doing so makes you vulnerable to phishing scams.
• After the MEW homepage loads, Click on the “Create a New Wallet” button.

Set up MEWConnect on your Smartphone

• Using your smartphone, download the MEWconnect App (available from the Apple App Store for iPhone or Google Play Store for Android)
• Run the App — You will see the following screen:

• Tap on “Create New Wallet”

• Key in a password and click “Next” — be sure your password is long, but easy to remember, a phrase of some kind, and best with capitals & punctuation.

• Key in the same password again to confirm it, then click “Next” — if the passwords don’t match, the “Next” button will not be clickable.

• Once you see “All done”, your wallet and keys have been created. Click the “START USING MEWCONNECT” button.

• Before continuing — It’s IMPORTANT to back up your wallet, since there is no way to recover your password if you lose it, and your funds in the wallet will be irretrievably lost — Click on the yellow “BACK UP” button.
• Read screen instructions thoroughly and click through.

• Enter your password — you will be presented with 24 words to record.

• Write down the 24 words on a sheet of paper (DO NOT screenshot or save as a digital record). Include the numbers and store them in a safe place. (the words you see will be different to the sample above)
  These are your keys to recovering the wallet (and your funds) if you lose your password or phone. Click “Next” after writing them down.

• Using the written list as a reference, select the words as requested — The words and numbers you see will be different from the sample above.
• Store your recovery words away safely.

• This completes the setup of your MEWconnect wallet. By tapping on the credit card on the screen, your Ethereum Address & QR code will be displayed.

• The Ethereum Address displayed on your phone is the address you should provide to the Team so they can send you your Token allocation.

Pair your MEWconnect wallet with MEW Desktop

• Using your bookmarked link on your browser, go to MyEtherWallet on your desktop. (https://www.myetherwallet.com)

• Click on “Access My Wallet”.

• Click on “MEWconnect” - A QR code will pop up on your screen.
• Using your MEWconnect app on your SmartPhone, scan the QR Code displayed on your screen.

• A view of your wallet address will then appear on your screen.

Your wallet is now set up.

Your ETH Address is shown in the purple “Address” box, This address can be freely shared. It can be copy/pasted by clicking the Copy icon.

Your current ETH Balance is shown in the “Balance” box. If you are sent ETH, the balance does not automatically update. It can be refreshed by clicking on the “Update” Icon

This concludes a rather long process. Congratulation for staying with it.

You now have a fully functional Ethereum Wallet, ready to receive BOLT Tokens!
