Getting Started
Create an account, set up your profile, and optionally connect a wallet when you need tips or holder features.
Creating an account
Registration uses a username and password on the Register page. Registration is currently open.
- You can browse published videos without an account.
- An account is required to upload, like, tip, propose tokens, or vote where those features are enabled.
- Sign-in uses username and password on the Log in page.
Profile and Account
Profile
Your public profile is available at /user/<username>/.
It shows your published videos and public creator information.
Account
The Account page is private to you. It is where you:
- Review your own videos and their statuses
- Connect or unlink an Ethereum wallet
- Control whether an linked wallet can receive tips
- Refresh cached SAIKO balance information when holder features are used
- Request account deletion
Connecting a wallet
Wallet connection is optional for basic use of QTube. You can register, watch videos, and upload without a wallet.
A connected Ethereum wallet is used when you need to:
- Send or receive on-chain SAIKO tips
- Access holder-gated features when those features are enabled
- Cast holder votes on token proposals or community reviews
- Qualify as a Community Moderator when that entitlement is enabled
Current minimum SAIKO balance for holder features: 1 SAIKO (holder features enabled).
QTube verifies wallet ownership with a signed message (SIWE). QTube does not take custody of your funds and does not store your private keys.
Browsers and requirements
- Use a current desktop or mobile browser with JavaScript enabled.
- Wallet features require a compatible browser wallet or WalletConnect session.
- Without JavaScript, wallet association controls are unavailable.
