Getting started
Is myblogs free?
Yes. Reading and writing are free. Hosts can pay the small network fees for you. Payments and monetisation aren’t part of myblogs yet.
Do I need cryptocurrency or a crypto wallet?
No. Sign up with email and myblogs creates a wallet for you. If the host sponsors publishing, you never need coins.
Why do you ask me to log in only when I publish?
You can read, write drafts and arrange your board without an account. Login is needed only when something is signed in your name, like publishing, liking, sharing a thought or uploading an image. Your draft is kept while you log in.
What is reading mode?
Open the display button in the header and turn on Reading mode. It switches to warm, low-glare colours and a book typeface, in light or dark, so long reads are easy on the eyes, even at night.
Your account & wallet
Do I have to type my recovery phrase every time?
No. After unlocking once, add a passkey to unlock with your fingerprint, face or device PIN, or tick Remember this device on your own computer. Keep the phrase for emergencies.
How should I keep my recovery phrase?
When your wallet is created you can download it as a text file or print it (or save it as a PDF). Keep it offline and private. Anyone with these words can control your profile.
I lost my recovery phrase. Can you reset it?
No. Nobody holds a copy that can be opened without your phrase or one of your passkeys. That is what makes the wallet yours. Without either, you’ll need to start a new profile.
Who can see my email?
Only the host you signed up on. It is never published or shared with other hosts.
Your writing
Can I change my username?
Yes. Publish your profile again with a new, free username. The old one is released.
Can I edit or delete a story?
Yes. Open the story and choose Edit story. You can publish changes or remove it. Copies that others already keep may remain (see privacy).
Hosting & reliability
What happens if this website goes down?
Your profile and stories are in the shared registry and on IPFS, not only on this host. Any other host for the same community shows them, and you can log in there with your wallet or recovery phrase. Asking several hosts to keep copies makes this safer.
Is Base Sepolia the “real” blockchain?
It’s a public test network. It is real and shared, but its coins have no money value. See What is a blockchain?
