How to get paid and hook up a wallet
A core principle of Tallycoin is for users to be in full control of their funds.

Tallycoin does not hold any donations for our users, and therefore, we do not offer a wallet of our own.

To connect one or more of your existing bitcoin wallets to Tallycoin, click on Settings > My Wallets

Tap on the type of wallet you already have and enter the details. This can be as simple as a bitcoin address.

See Add/Edit a wallet

How to change user picture
Visit your profile page and enter edit mode by clicking the 'edit' button, or tap your name badge in the top navigation bar and click edit there.

Tap on your profile picture and upload a new image.

How to edit a page
You can find all your pages listed on your profile.

Visit the page you want to modify and enter edit mode by clicking the 'edit' button, or tap your name badge in the top navigation bar and click edit there.

How to add a wallet
Go to Settings > My Wallets.

You will see a list of wallet types. Unconfigured wallets have a dashed border. You can set up all wallet types, or just one. Up to you.

How to edit a wallet
Go to Settings > My Wallets. Select a wallet that has a solid border and a checkmark.

Editing of wallet information is disabled for security reasons. Instead, you can delete the wallet by selecting the dropdown on the top right hand side of the page.

Once deleted, you can set up a new wallet.

Changes to any wallet is applied across all your Tallycoin pages and profile automatically.

Why is the wallet not editable?
While we doubt this has happened to any of our users, there have been reports of computer viruses that change bitcoin addresses inside "input" fields to that of the attacker.

We're just being cautious by disabling the fields so that this attack can't happen to our users.

How to get in the feed
The feed page shows the top trending pages, new pages and pages you might be interested in. Not all pages are included in the feed!

Top trending
The feed algorithm calculates trending pages by examining user activity, such as donations and messages.

New pages
New pages from users with a high enough Trust Score may be shown in the feed.

For you
Pages in the feed tagged with the "for you" label have been included because you interacted with the page or the page owner.
Why is a certain donation not showing on my fundraiser?
There could be a few reasons why a particular donation is not being displayed on the fundraiser page.

1. Only donations that were initiated via Tallycoin will be shown on fundraiser pages.

2. A visitor initiated a donation through Tallycoin but sent the wrong amount. Donation needs to be exact for Tallycoin to include it.

3. If the transaction was on-chain, only confirmed transactions will be shown.

4. If the transaction was on-chain but does not get confirmed within 7 days of initiation, Tallycoin will discard it.

Why is the raised amount for my fundraiser wrong?
The older version of Tallycoin would scan the bitcoin blockchain for ANY transactions linked with your bitcoin address and assume they were associated with your fundraiser.

This was a bad assumption on our part, because we found many people re-use the same address for general day-to-day activities and not exclusively for Tallycoin (despite our warnings against address re-use).

In the new version, we do not make this assumption. So only transactions that were initiated through Tallycoin will be counted towards your fundraiser page.

This change may cause older fundraisers to show a lower amount has been raised when calculating only verified transactions.

Why do I get an error "Text section is too long"?
When editing your page, you can add more sections and elements (click the + symbol), such as YouTube video, headings, text paragraphs, etc.

The error stating one or more of your text sections are too long suggests you should cut some text from that section and create a new section with the rest of the text.

We limit the length of text for each section to prevent problems when saving your page.

Why doesn't Tallycoin have a bitcoin or lightning node?
Tallycoin's core design principal is to be completely outside of user transactions, so having lightning channels with users could infer some kind of financial relationship (either in the eyes of governments or uneducated users).

Some tipping/crowdfunding services custody user donations, even just for a short time before forwarding to the destination (and maybe taking a % fee).

So by not having a lightning node, we also ensure our users understand Tallycoin can never hold user funds or skim fees.

Hopefully we have an answer to your question.

About Tallycoin
Tallycoin is a crowdfunding platform with bitcoin payment integration.

Tallycoin was born on 4th July 2018 from a conversation on Twitter.

Developer @djbooth007 initially pitched Tallycoin as a "relatively quick project", not knowing it would eventually grow to serve thousands of users and have mainstream news media discuss it.

Tallycoin has helped fund hundreds of small projects and dozens of significant efforts such as software development, documentary film making, book writing, fundraising for charity, bitcoin advertising campaigns and product development.

Why Build Tallycoin
Crowdfunding is the perfect use-case to highlight the benefits Bitcoin can provide.

Tallycoin doesn't touch any donations and doesn't (can't) charge any fees. The platform is designed to ensure the money is decentralized.

Our mission is to help bitcoiners fund their projects for the benefit of the whole ecosystem.

Media Requests
Tallycoin is a part-time project by one developer, @djbooth007.

While I appreciate the interest and I'm a fan of many of the personalities who have asked to have a chat, I decline all PR/media requests.
