To Do List
1. Backup Your Password
Unlike centralized web services, it is not possible to recover lost passwords on the Wortheum blockchain.
You are entirely responsible for saving your password, backing it up, and keeping it secure.
It is strongly recommended that you store an offline copy of your password somewhere safe in case of a hard drive failure or other calamity. Consider digital offline storage (such as a flash drive or burned CD), secure private cloud-based storage, as well as printed paper. Use multiple methods of storage for best redundancy.
If your account is valuable, value it!
2. Review the Quick Start Guide
The Quick Start Guide section of this Welcome page contains basic information to help get you started.

4. Setup your Profile, Avatar, and Cover Image
You can update your profile through the Settings page. This includes your display name, location, about information, and website.
To set your avatar image, enter a link to where the image is located into the "Profile Picture URL" field or use the "Upload an image" feature.

5. Choose your "NSFW" (Not Safe for Work) Display Preference, Language, and Rewards
By default, content that users have tagged as "NSFW" will be hidden, but a link will be shown to reveal the content. You can update your display preference so that NSFW content is always shown by default or is completely hidden with no option to reveal.
You can select the language you wish to display the website in. Currently, English, Spanish, Russian, French, Italian, Korean, Japanese, Polish and Chinese are available to choose from.
You can also choose how you will receive your news post rewards and Comment post rewards. It is recommended that you read the Digital Currencies section first.

Quick Start Guide
Free to Participate
It is free to post, comment, or vote on all content on Wprtheum.news. You might even get paid for it!
Votes
Upvotes are Wortheum's way of saying you like someone's post or comment.
To upvote, click on the Upvote icon at the bottom of the post/comment.
Downvotes (flags) are Wortheum's way of saying you disapprove of someone's post or comment.
To downvote (flag), click on the Flag icon at the top right of the post/comment.
Comments
When you are new, commenting on other people's posts can be a great way to get involved in the community and to connect with people!
To comment on a post, or reply to an existing comment, click on the "Reply" link at the bottom of the post/comment.
Creating Posts
To create a post, click on the "Post" link in the upper right corner.
Posts have three main parts: Title, Content, and Tags.
You will want to make your title attractive and relevant to your content. The first image that you use will become the thumbnail image.
You can insert images by dragging & dropping, pasting from the clipboard, or by selecting them.
Tags will help people find your posts. Each post can have up to five tags, separated by spaces. The tags should all be relevant to the content in the post. You can browse content by tags, as well as see a list of popular tags that other users have used in their posts here. The first tag becomes the post's category and cannot be changed later.
Followers and Feeds
To follow an author, click on their username and click the "Follow" button.
Once you follow someone, all of their posts will show up in your "Feed" on the homepage when you login.
As other Wortheum user come across your posts and comments, you will start to gain followers.
You can see all of your followers and the people you are following on your profile page.
Republish
If you want to share someone else's post with all of your followers, click on the republish icon. Republished cannot be undone.
Digital Currencies
WORTH, Worth Power and Worth Dollars are the three forms of digital currency used by the Wortheum Blockchain.
More information on the three types of tokens can be found in the Wortheum FAQ.
Curation
Up to 25% of the reward for each post goes to the people who upvoted on it. These people are called Curators.
The more Worth Power you have in your account, the more your votes will be worth, and the more potential curation rewards you can earn!
Payments
Payouts are made 7 days after the post/comment is created. You can claim your rewards in your wallet after 7 days.
The projected payments may fluctuate (up and down) until the final payment amount is reached.
Payments for posts are split between the author (at least 50%) and the curators (up to 50%).
The author reward is paid 50% in Worth Power and 50% in WORTH/WBD by default.
Authors also have the option to decline payout, or be paid in 100% Worth Power!
Reputation
A reputation score is one way that Wortheum measures the amount of value you have brought to the community.
The higher the reputation, the more upvotes the account received.
All new users start at 25.
Your reputation will go up as you earn upvotes for your posts and comments, but it can come down if they are downvoted (flagged).
Cashing out or Spending WBD
You can exchange WBD for WORTH in the Currency Market. Once you have WORTH, you can "Power Up" in your wallet to gain additional Worth Power.
Plagiarism
The community is looking for you to create engaging content.
Plagiarising, which is posting someone else's material as if it were your own, is very frowned upon by the Wortheum community.
If you are using anyone else's material as part of your posts (including images), even if it is free to use, please cite your sources. You should make sure that you are not violating any copyright laws if you are using someone else's material/images. Limited, sourced material sharing is OK under fair use and fair dealing doctrines.
Remember, your posts should have original content in them. Quotes should not compose an entire post. Include your own thoughts, photographs, art, and ideas.
Password Security
It is not possible to recover lost passwords for Wortheum accounts. You are 100% responsible for having it backed up. This means secure digital backups, as well as secured paper backups, stored in different places if possible.
Never put your password into unverified third party websites as they may steal your account.
Your Wortheum account is worth real money. Treat your Wortheum password like you would your bank password and keep it secure!
Earning on Wortheum
Everyone's earnings are different. Have fun. Get involved. Meet new friends.
The amount of money a user earns depends on their content, following, level of investment and many, many other factors.
Don't get discouraged if you don't earn much at first. Keep up the good work!
