🎁 Real-Life Example
“I wanted to send my sister 20 USDC for her birthday.
With a Textcoin, it took just 10 seconds – I simply sent her the link.
She didn’t need to provide an address or install anything. She set up the wallet only when she redeemed it.

🧾 Redeeming a Textcoin
There are two ways to redeem a Textcoin:
🔗 1. Open the link directly
Just open the Textcoin link in any browser.
Here’s what a Textcoin link looks like::
https://obyte.org/#textcoin?father-record-wild-repair-immune-dwarf-trash-bamboo-write-girl-crazy-brave
➡️ You’ll be automatically redirected to the Obyte website.
👉 There, click “Receive funds” to claim the Textcoin.
⚠️ Note for Messenger users (e.g. Telegram)
Some messengers open links in their own in-app browser.
This can block the redirection to the Obyte wallet.✅ Solution: Open the link in an external browser like Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.
🧠 2. Redeem manually in the wallet
Alternatively, you can redeem the Textcoin directly in the wallet:
- Open the Obyte wallet
- Go to the Receive tab
- Select “Claim funds using Textcoin”
- Enter the 12 words of the Textcoin
This method is especially useful if you received the Textcoin offline (e.g. printed out).
🔐 Textcoin as an Offline Cold Wallet
A Textcoin can also be used as a simple cold wallet:
- Create a Textcoin as described above
- Print out the link
- Store it somewhere safe (e.g. in a safe or lockbox)
As long as no one opens the link, the funds remain untouched.
