How does this work?
Get 10 € for free!

We’re providing you with a blockchain wallet – and a free amount of 100 credits (appr. 10 EURO) as a welcome gift.

To proceed:

  1. Load your wallet, click the round button in the right hand corner, go to “Top Up” and type code “fairplanet”.
  2. Once you have topped up your wallet, you can support FairPlanet by donating a tiny amount.
  3. Please finish by going to “Manage Wallet”, copy your blockchain key and save it. This key (think of it as a password) will allow you to access your wallet from any other device.
  4. You will also need this key to recover your wallet in case you delete your browsing data as this is where your keys are stored. Click here to see how.

Please note: You’ll get the free amount only once – to ensure that nobody claims the money twice you’ll have to verify yourself with your phone number.

If you should experience any troubles contact hello@satoshipay.io, they will be happy to help.
