Tips for Beginners

1. Check the URL to make sure it says ‘Zillet.io’.

  • Keep us bookmarked for future use.
  • Phishers are tricky, so make sure there are no dots or accents on any of the letters.
  • If you find a phishing site, send it to us so we can take it down!
  • Download EAL, PhishFort, or Cryptonite for up-to-date alerts when visiting known phishing sites.

2. Use the checksummed version of your address.

  • This is the version of your address that includes "zil" as its prefix.
  • For more information on checksummed addresses, click here.

3. Send a small amount first, to test the waters.

  • We cannot reverse, cancel, or refund transactions. Make sure you know the process inside and out!
  • Learn more about sending transactions here.

4. Keep your information off the computer.

  • Write down everything in physical backups.
  • Pen and paper is highly underrated. No one can hack your notebook!
  • However, you can lose your notebook – so make extra copies.

5. Do not share your private information with anyone.

  • Including us! We will never ask for your private key.
  • We will never email you first. If you got an email from us without emailing us first, it’s not us.

6. Google can be your best friend or your worst enemy

  • Do your research, and remain skeptical!
  • Before sending to a third-party or using a new service, Google the service name + ‘scam’ or ‘reviews’.

7. Pay very close attention to address entry and Ask for help.

  • Sending to a wrong address can mean the permanent loss of your funds. Make sure you know who you’re sending to.
  • Double and triple check everything. Even one wrong character will make a difference and lead to loss of funds.
  • Never hand type anything. Copy & paste is your best friend!
  • This is still a very new field, but it has a strong community to back it up.
