How to claim your MoneroV

To start with, everyone holding Monero as of the snapshot that was taken at block 1564965, can claim 10x their amount in MoneroV.

What this means is if you have 1 Monero, you can claim 10 MoneroV. This is whats called an airdrop.

Download the wallet from the official website MoneroV.org and extract the files/folders to your desktop or anywhere on your computer that suits you.

Start the GUI wallet using the .exe file if using Windows 10 x64 (Linux and other OS are not covered here)

You will be presented with the following screen

Leave both "Testnet" and "Stagenet" unchecked.
Click "Restore wallet from keys or mnemonic seed"

At this point you have the option to claim your free MoneroV if you had Monero in your wallet at the time of the snapshot, to do this you need to enter the mnemonic seed from your Monero wallet, a couple of examples are below.

To claim using https://mymonero.com simply use your login seed, you can view it by clicking "view login info" when logged in.

If that fails it is usually because of a spelling mistake or a space where it shouldn't be, check the words are exact!

Local Node Vs Remote Node

Remote nodes may be a way of checking your balances quickly and i will explain how to here but i will add that the developers of MoneroV do not approve of using unknown nodes and i will also not be held responsible for any losses due to remote nodes.

That said here is how to connect to the remote node.
