How to link your Telegram account to your VIZ blockchain account - and receive chat rewards
Let's start with the fact that you already have a VIZ account. If you don't, it's not hard to sign up for free on your own, here:
https://start.viz.plus/
Alternatively, you can do it with the help of active members of the VIZ community, in one of the chat rooms, for example, here:
https://t.me/viz_support
Now, let's say you already have VIZ and Telegram accounts. Perhaps someone in the VIZ community has already sent you some tokens - a reward, an award - in the chat room where the VIZ Social bot functions. The bot memorizes your Telegram account and the number of tokens on your balance. To reward other users, you must withdraw these tokens from the bot's balance to your blockchain wallet.
Next - I will describe this whole process with screenshots.
Find VIZ Social bot among the chat participants. If you do not see it in chats, you can find it in Telegram by the name @viz_social_bot
Open a dialog with the bot, and click on "message" here:
The following dialog box opens. In the menu, select "Account."
Then - "Assign account."
The bot will prompt for your private key.
WARNING! Passwords from the VIZ account are stored only with you; in case of loss, technical personnel cannot recover them!
Since VIZ is a Proof-of-Stake blockchain - a fork of the Golos blockchain, which in turn is a fork of the Steemit blockchain - in general, VIZ has all the same basic rules as all media blockchains based on Dan Larimer's code, the person who created Steemit. When you sign up for an account in VIZ, you get a text file with several keys for different levels of account access:
The General key is the primary key, used in cases when you want to change all the other keys of the account.
The Regular key is the key you need to post on the platform https://control.viz.world/media/ or in the decentralized social network ReaddleMe https://readdle.me/#dapp:manual/.
Now you would need an Active key. One uses it to sign transactions in the blockchain. Find this Active key in the password file, copy it, and paste it into the message for the bot in Telegram.
By the way, the file with your account passwords should be stored securely - it's better to duplicate it in several secure places. For example, keep it not only on your computer but also on a separate flash drive, which you don't carry daily. So, for example, keep it in a locked desk drawer.
Congratulations - your Telegram and VIZ accounts are linked!
Next, you can set the "energy usage step" under "Tools and Settings" - I put 5%. In Proof-of-Stake blockchains, when you reward another user, you give them tokens from the daily emission. The number of tokens donated depends on the parameters: your stack size (how much you have in your wallet) and your "battery charge." The "battery" is slightly discharged with each award. Discharged to zero, it recovers to 100% in about five days.
The process of rewarding another Telegram user is as simple as possible. VIZ Social bot functions in the chat. There, all you need to do in response to any user's message is to put one to five pluses. Each "+" is your 5% or another "energy usage step."
You are welcome to use it, collect crypto-tokens, and increase your deposit!
