Security Best Practices

Storing Your Key

DO:

  • Write it on paper, store securely

  • Use an encrypted password manager

  • Keep multiple backups in different locations

DON'T:

  • Screenshot your key

  • Store in plain text files

  • Email it to yourself

  • Save in cloud storage unencrypted

Key Handling

  • Delete the message after saving the key

  • Don't share your screen while viewing

  • Be aware of who's nearby

  • Use private browsing if on shared computer

Warning Signs

Never give your key to:

  • Anyone claiming to be "support"

  • Websites asking for keys (except legitimate wallet imports)

  • People offering to "verify" your wallet

  • DMs from strangers


After Exporting

Once exported, your wallet works the same:

  • DEADCELL still has access

  • New wallet app has access

  • Either can make transactions

  • Balance is shared (same wallet)

To remove DEADCELL's access:

  1. Create a new wallet elsewhere

  2. Transfer all funds to it

  3. Delete the old wallet from DEADCELL


Troubleshooting

Export Button Not Working

  • Make sure you're in a DM with the bot

  • Group chats block key export for security

  • Try: /export command directly

Key Doesn't Work in Other Wallet

  • Check for extra spaces

  • Some wallets need different format

  • Try copying again carefully

Forgot Which Wallet

Use /wallet to see all wallets with their addresses. Match the address to find the right key.
