Title: My pin number
Post by: duhwinning69 on August 12, 2012, 11:37 pm
I'm new here & learning. My question is,how do I require my pin? I signed up here about 4 months ago but I don't remember getting
a pin when signing up. When I go to my account settings it ask for a pin when sending bitcoins to member,which I assume that would be to any member such as a vendor. Another ? If I buy bitcoins from a vendor on here,will they need my pin or just my address that it shows it the Black BOLD?

I'd appreciate some help asap. Thanks

When you originally made your account, the system should have asked you to create a pin at that point, in addition to your primary password.  You won't need to supply this pin to anyone else, but you will need it to transfer funds from your account to vendors, or to withdraw bitcoins.

I'm not sure on the specific details, but I believe that you generally have to wait 7 days to have your pin reset.  Check the "technical support" forum for more details (http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?board=8.0), and maybe repost your question there if you can't find a solution in one of the existing threads.

Ah,ok. Thanks for jogging my memory & answering my question. I vaguely remember doing that but with a few trys I should remember it
One way to test the correct pin would be to attempt to change it to a new pin on my account page.
Thanks again.
