Mixin Messenger for AKT

The Mixin Messenger app provides an ultra user friendly wallet, with support for almost all popular cryptocurrencies. The app is available on both Google Play Store and App Store.
Mixin Messenger’s name comes from the app not only providing a cryptocurrency wallet but also a secure messaging platform.
We will review the steps to get the Mixin Messenger up and running using an iPhone example. Once the app is active, the process to obtain AKT easily from your mobile device is covered.

In the steps to come we will take the journey from App Store download through initial app set up.

On initial launch of the app you will be prompted to enter your mobile phone number

Transfer of ATOM into Wallet
In this series of steps we will transfer ATOM into Mixin Messenger with the eventual goal to swap ATOM into AKT (Akash token).
Press the Wallet button
When the wallet is first used you will be prompted to create a PIN
Note and store the PIN as it will be necessary in the future for wallet related activities
Following successful PIN entry, we are brought into our wallet
If this is your first time logging in your balance will be $0.00
Press the Search button to ready for our next step
Enter a search of “atom” and select “ATOM/Cosmos” from the search results
Press the Receive button
Our goal in this step is to receive ATOM from another account that holds some (I.e. an external wallet or exchange account you hold with ATOM)
You will see a popup suggesting a minimum amount be used in your initial transaction for safety
Select “Got it” to proceed
From the Deposit screen select “Copy” to copy your address to clipboard
We will use the copied Cosmos address to transfer funds from your pre-existing, external wallet or exchange
Following the copy of the Cosmos address, visit the external wallet that has ATOM funds and send a minimal amount (I.e. 1 ATOM for initial deposit) to the copied Mixin Messenger address
You should now see the ATOM in your Mixin Messenger wallet
Mixin Messenger Bot - 4Swap
In the following steps we will install a bot named 4Swap to change the ATOM into AKT. The bot only acts when we request a swap.
We begin the bot install by pressing the Contacts button from the Mixin Messenger home screen
Select the “Add Contact” option
Bots are added within the app via Mixin IDs
The ID for the 4SWAP bot is:
7000103537
Enter this ID in the contacts search box and press the Search button
Press the bot icon to ready for the next step
Select the Swap button located on the bottom of the screen
We want to allow 4Swap to access and manage our Mixin Messenger wallet. Select the Connect Wallet option
We are presented with an authorization screen. Choose the Authorize button to allow 4Swap access to our wallet.
Follow these steps to swap ATOM for AKT
1.Select the drop down arrow next to the first currency and search/select ATOM
2.Select the drop down arrow next to the second currency and search/select AKT
3.Following currency choices a number pad is displayed to enter the amount of ATOM to swap
Select the Swap button to complete the transaction
Exit the 4Swap bot
You will now be brought back to the Mixin wallet home screen where you should see the new balances.
When we need to re-enter the 4Swap for future needs, we can select the bots icon from the Mixin Messenger home screen
Select the 4Swap icon from the list
