Using Pulsar Money like a pro, chapter 1: Setting up your account

DinoVox and Pulsar Money recently entered into a business partnership of which we already know the main beneficiaries: the communities of the two projects!

For holders of DinoVox (and derived/associated collections), it is now possible to benefit from the power and simplicity of tools allowing holders to receive tokens, NFTs and other giveaways directly on their wallets, effortlessly.

For its part, DinoVox’s mission is to present, explain and promote the range of new options forged by Pulsar Money in order to explode the adoption of MultiversX and expose new marketing and community growth models!

As part of the PICS Academy program, DinoVox offers you a series of content to learn everything about Pulsar Money and exploit the power of the decentralized platform to your advantage.

Today we’re starting with the basics: registering on the platform and synchronizing your X and Discord accounts.

Résumé

Level: beginner
Risk and complexity: low
Time required: 10 mins

Prerequisites : have an Internet connection, a MultiversX wallet, an X account and/or a personal Discord account.

Educational objective

At the end of the tutorial, the apprentice Dino:

• will have understood the value proposition of the Social Pay module of the PulsarMoney platform;
• he will have securely linked his MultiversX Wallet , his social accounts X (ex-Twitter) and Discord to the Pulsar dApp (Decentralized Application);
• it will be able to benefit from all DinoVox community distribution operations (and any other projects using Pulsar solutions).

Once this tutorial is completed, your X, Discord accounts (one or the other, or both) as well as your public address (“erd…..”) of MultiversX wallet will be linked in the Decentralized Pulsar Money application.

Important : No critical access authorization will be requested from you during these various operations. The decentralized Pulsar application will only have “read-only” access to your information and will not be able to modify or interact with your accounts without your authorization . This is an important point to remember as many hacks and scams involve third-party applications to which the careless user has given too many access rights.

Step 1: associate your MultiversX wallet with Pulsar Money

It is possible to use Pulsar with several types of MultiversX Wallets.

However, for convenience and because it is the simplest and most ergonomic approach, this tutorial will involve using the xPortal smartphone app.

If you don’t have the xPortal wallet yet , download it for free here (you can use the affiliate code gyn8qv7y0c for additional benefits).

This article will then walk you through how to install the app in just a few minutes.

Go to the official website https://beta.pulsar.money/ and click on the top right to sync your xPortal with the Pulsar dApp.

By validating the transaction that will be submitted to you, you will share your public address with the platform and allow it to interact with your wallet (under your control).

For now, remember above all that this first manipulation will allow Pulsar to ensure transfers of NFT, SFT and EGLD and ESDT cryptocurrencies to your personal wallet.

Step 2: Link your social accounts to the Pulsar dApp

For these first steps, we will focus exclusively on Pulsar’s “ Social Pay ” module .

It is this tool that will help you participate in the numerous distribution operations, airdrops and giveaways which are multiplying every day on Twitter and on the DinoVox Discord.

Go to the Social Pay menu

The Social Pay Dashboard is located in the left column, it is the cross symbol.

The screen below shows you that an account X is already linked to the dApp (you will note in passing that it is possible to “unlink” the account at any time).

We will therefore proceed to add a Discord account . The process is exactly the same and the validation steps are similar.

Link a Discord account

Click on “ Link your account now ”, and let yourself be guided

The third-party application Discord will ensure that the request is legitimate and ask you for authorization to associate Pulsar Money with your account.

Discord takes this opportunity to remind you of the type of authorization you grant to Pulsar (in this case access to your username, avatar, and banner).

The Twitter application will offer you exactly the same path.

Enjoy !

It’s done ! in a few minutes, you have just linked on your Pulsar Money dashboard:

• Your personal wallet (to receive your rewards);
• Your X account;
• Your Discord account

The platform does not need any other personal information to operate immediately , free of charge and in a permissionless manner (without prior authorization).

In other words, nothing prevents you from creating a MultiverseX wallet dedicated to Pulsar interactions, as well as dedicated X and Discord accounts, all in a few moments.

Note : small synchronization bugs have been reported concerning users with exactly the same nickname on X as on Discord

Take full advantage of token distribution operations on X

Pulsar Money offers multiple innovations and functions that we will gradually explore in the coming weeks.

However, the Social Pay tool is particularly spectacular in that it allows you to easily benefit from distribution operations, organized by projects like DinoVox keen to engage and reward their community.

Generally, you will simply be asked to “react” to a tweet, or to share it, to automatically be included in distributions.

Note that the allocation of prizes is done randomly , in the form of a lottery. In other words, if the operation proposes to distribute “1 EGLD to 100 reactions”, it is not necessarily the first 100 likes which will be rewarded. Furthermore, the quality of the “react” is also taken into account by the algorithm which does not reward a simple like in the same way as a comment for example.

Once you have completed the steps in this tutorial and your account is configured, all you have to do is stay on the lookout for these campaigns.

Pulsar allows distribution of many crypto assets. Obviously $EGLD and tokens meeting ESDT standards (which must, however, go through a White-Listing phase by Pulsar) and even… Bitcoin!

Example below where a simple react will allow 25 participants to collect a few satoshis, directly in their wallet!

We are reaching the end of this first chapter dedicated to Pulsar Money! The next installment will explain how to fund your account and set up your first distribution campaign yourself. In the meantime, may the GRAOU remain powerful in each of you.
