Get the beta
Places open a few at a time, and the free answers come out of a pot that can run dry. If setup says it's full or the pot is spent, try again in a while — nothing on your phone changes.
iPhone
There's no iPhone beta yet, and no date. When there's a link it will be here — nothing to sign up for.
Install the beta through TestFlight. TestFlight is Apple's own app for betas; it needs an Apple ID and nothing else from you.
Android
There's no Android download yet. When the file is ready it will be here — nothing to sign up for.

This is a direct download, not a store. Your phone will ask whether to allow installs from your browser — that's expected for this file, and you can turn that permission off again afterwards.
Check the file (optional)
Its SHA-256 is 38dd292835783223d1f267837aeb72936ad9b2505722aa51806c5f56b6f66536. Compare it if you know how; if you don't, skip this. The first install is the one time you're relying on this page — after that, the app checks every update against the key this app carries.

Updates
Updates are checked by hand: in Settings, tap "Check for a newer version". If there is one, the app opens this page in your browser, and the button here starts the download. It never installs anything by itself.
Your first minute
- The app makes a wallet on your phone. Bitcoin's small unit is the sat; the app counts in sats.
- Turn on tai. We set up a companion for it in about a minute — the companion is where tai thinks. Your first answers are on us.
- To earn, pair your own Mac as the companion instead. See Earning.
This is a beta on test bitcoin. Nothing you do in it touches real money.
