Getting Started

Joining OMXUS requires three things: a ring, three vouchers, and the app.

Step 1: Get the Ring

Section titled “Step 1: Get the Ring”

The OMXUS ring is a $9 NFC ring containing a passive near-field communication chip. No battery, no charging, designed to last decades.

Step 2: Find Three Vouchers

Section titled “Step 2: Find Three Vouchers”

You need three people who:

  • Already have verified OMXUS tokens
  • Have met you in person
  • Are willing to stake their reputation on your identity

This is not a formality. Vouchers are cryptographically tied to you forever. If you act badly, their trust scores drop too.

Why Three?

Section titled “Why Three?”
  • One can be fooled or coerced
  • Two can collude
  • Three creates a social web that’s hard to fake at scale

Step 3: Install the App

Section titled “Step 3: Install the App”

Download the OMXUS app for your platform:

Step 4: Generate Your Keys

Section titled “Step 4: Generate Your Keys”

When you open the app, it generates a cryptographic keypair:

Terminal window
# What happens behind the scenes
python3 omxus.py init


# Output:
# Public key: ed25519:abc123...
# Private key stored securely in device keychain

Your private key never leaves your device. Your public key becomes part of your Human Existence Record.

Step 5: Get Vouched

Section titled “Step 5: Get Vouched”

Meet your three vouchers in person. They’ll scan your ring and sign a cryptographic attestation:

Terminal window
# When a voucher signs for you
python3 omxus.py vouch [your-public-key]

Step 6: Mint Your Token

Section titled “Step 6: Mint Your Token”

Once you have three vouches, combine them into your token:

Terminal window
python3 omxus.py mint vouch1.json vouch2.json vouch3.json

Your Human Existence Record is now anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain. You exist, cryptographically, forever.
