📘 PINBALL.CASH GUIDE
This is the step-by-step walkthrough layer for members who want the first moves spelled out clearly. If you want the shorter protocol overview instead, use the FAQ.
Built for real onboarding, real wallets, real assets, and real settlement tools.
🚀 Start Here
- Join the network. Use join with email/password, or use Nostr if you already run a signer. Pinball currently works best with Firefox + nos2x.
- Open your cryptoprofile. After login, press the signed-in nav icon labeled edit or profile to open CRYPTOPROFILE.
- Finish the basics. Add your avatar, alias, bio, URL, socials, phone, shipping address, and CA$HTAG. If someone gave you an X-code, enter it in X_CODE Entry. You can also enter an X-code during signup. If you joined with Nostr, you can add a real email later for CMAIL and recovery. If you joined with email, you can link Nostr from the same page.
- Use one signer across more than one account if needed. A single Nostr account can be linked to multiple Pinball accounts. On sign-in, Pinball will verify the signer first and then show an account picker if that key is tied to more than one member profile. That is useful for operators running multiple locations, departments, or franchise-style identities from one master key.
- Save with your current password. Profile changes are not locked in until you confirm them in the Confirm & Save section.
Onboarding note: your 313.cash member dashboard is the main tracking page after signup. It shows things like anytime airdrop stock, daily airdrop readiness, AIRDROP ALL history, and other active tools tied to your account so you can track onboarding progress in one place.
Referral note: your profile, THING, and EXTRA links can become invite paths. When new members join through your Pinball entry points, both sides can receive bonus airdrops.
🪙 Wallets, Airdrops, and Money Tools
- Create a MAZA address first. Inside CRYPTOPROFILE, use the MAZA Address Book and press the MAZA address icon, or visit the ADDRESS MAKER.
- Use the address tools. Each address gets buttons for ledger & send, editing, and direct airdrop launch. On the address page you also get QR sharing, transaction history, POW⚡WOW PAY, invoice tools, and bridge tools when supported.
- Daily airdrops are platform rewards. The standard airdrop system is a small platform-to-member distribution meant to simulate a crypto staking-style experience for coins that do not have built-in staking. The member dashboard shows when your daily drop is ready.
- AIRDROP ALL is the one-to-many tool. From the member dashboard, press AIRDROP ALL to send a small amount across the active network in one flow. For MAZA, recipients are recent active members with a MAZA address.
- Use xΔ when you need fiat conversion. The xΔ / usd screen handles two flows: MAZA IN and USD IN. MAZA IN is for members sending MAZA in and receiving dollar-side settlement. USD IN is for members starting from dollars and receiving MAZA through the same exchange surface.
- Set your Cash App cashtag first if you plan to use the exchange. Pinball prefers a saved CA$HTAG in your CRYPTOPROFILE for exchange coordination and payout handling. Add or update that in your profile before starting the exchange if you want the cleanest flow.
- Use alias search for direct member interaction. Alias search appears in several tools across Pinball. Once you find a member, you can open one of their addresses and send a preset amount, send a custom amount, or create an invoice. Some flows also let you attach a message or image so the transfer carries more context.
Fee note: many Pinball actions currently use about 33 MAZA, which is roughly five cents at current assumptions. 100% of those fees go to the faucet, and the faucet powers our airdrops and distribution systems. The fee target can move as MAZA’s value changes over time.
Philosophy note: Pinball is designed to prove that better economic tooling can be built than what commercial banks and large platforms usually offer. It started as a one-man development effort and has grown into a cyborg partnership, but the core goal is still to show that a better economy can be implemented in working software.
💳 POW WOW PAY Tools + 📍 Invoices
- POWOWPAY™ is the point-of-sale tool. Once you have a usable address, the signed-in nav pay button opens the POWOWPAY™ tools. It is not just a static portal. It has live pay and receive modes.
- Client side uses member-to-member vendor lookup. In Client PAY, you search a vendor by alias, load that vendor’s live menu, build the order, review the draft, and pay through the QR-linked trading session.
- Vendor side can act like a real menu builder. In Vendor Receive, the address owner can open the POS builder and define categories, items, modifiers, options, and coupons. That menu then appears on both the vendor and client screens.
- Every address can start invoice management. On an address show page, press +1 INVOICE MGMT. The invoice builder supports a member alias, user ID, email, or outside reference in the To field, plus phone, location, line items, and completion timing.
- Invoices can carry field-work context. The invoice system is designed for hustle digitization with SMS, email, and geolocation support, so you can attach location and contact data to the work order instead of keeping that outside Pinball.
- GO location style flows sit inside the same service stack. Pinball can use phone, SMS consent, and location-aware invoice workflows to route real-world work into the same on-chain economy tools that power tips, wallets, and settlement.
📦 Make a THING, Then Add EXTRAS
- Start with a THING. From the member dashboard, press the large THING NEW image, or go directly to new THING.
- Build the THING in three passes. Step 1 sets the title and optional ticker. Step 2 sets how many units you want to mint. Step 3 sets core rules like style, royalty, and whether the object is shippable.
- Save, then mint, then finish the live settings. After the THING is saved and minted, you can add cover art, details, pricing, redeemability, checkout limits, and alternate payout or royalty addresses.
- Use +1 EXTRA to attach inventory, content, or media. On the THING edit page, press +1 EXTRA. Each EXTRA can hold its own title, media, royalty rules, access rules, shipping rules, pricing, and advanced trade settings.
- For music, upload audio first. If your EXTRA’s primary media is an audio file, Pinball unlocks a secondary asset field so you can add an image, visualizer, or video. That is the recommended path for songs and FM-ready media.
- Use the THING cover art like album or collection art. A common FM flow is: create a THING for the project, upload THING cover art, then create one or more audio EXTRAS under it. The audio becomes the track, and the second asset becomes the track art or visual companion.
- Use THING for the core object and EXTRA for the flexible object layer. A THING gives you the stronger base object or economy anchor. EXTRAs let you add lower-cost, more editable inventory on top of it. That is how Pinball gets the benefit of a more permanent layer-1 style object while still giving you a faster layer-2 style space for tickets, media, raffles, auctions, and other attached items.
🧷 Pin an Image, Then Launch the SUP Writer
- Open /pin first. Upload the image you want to use and review the MAZA fee before you pin it to IPFS.
- Wait for the CID to come back. Once the pin completes, keep the returned CID or IPFS link. That is the reusable media reference for your SUP object.
- Open /sup and choose an address. Pick the supported address you want to write from, then launch the Tokex SUP writer from there.
- Use the CID as the image field. Fill in the object name and any other SUP details you want, keep the CID in the image slot, then preview and broadcast the object.
Practical note: IPFS gateway rendering is not always instant. A good pin can still take a little time to propagate before every public viewer shows the image.
🔥 Burn an Inscryption
- Start from a THING or EXTRA. A THING or EXTRA can hold more than one inscryption, so open the object you want to extend and launch the inscryption flow from there.
- Choose text or media. Text inscryptions are for encrypted notes, compact links, and metadata. Media inscryptions are for pinned CID-based image references.
- If you are using media, pin first. Prepare the image in /pin, then select that pinned asset from the CID library inside the inscryption builder instead of re-uploading it.
- Burn the inscryption on the object’s coin. The builder uses the coin already attached to the THING or EXTRA, so the final step is just reviewing the payload and burning the inscryption.
🍞 Register a Pinball AI Oven
- Open the Oven Registry. Log in, then open 313.cash/ai. Public visitors can see the network display, but members get the registration tools.
- Create a node setup. Give the Mac a stable display name and node ID, then paste a public MAZA payout address. Never paste a wallet private key, seed phrase, database password, OpenAI key, or storage credential.
- Download the Mac setup command. After registration, Pinball shows a one-time pairing code and a downloadable `.command` file. Open the file on the Mac you want to run as the oven before the pairing code expires.
- Let the script pair and start Alice Brain. The command clones or updates Alice Brain, claims the private `.env` once from Pinball, installs or checks the baseline Ollama models, and starts the PB/AUTOS worker.
- Watch the heartbeat. Return to 313.cash/ai to see the node check in, process scoped work, and count accepted local bakes toward the next payout window.
Security note: the oven is outbound-only. It polls scoped work from Pinball, sends completed results back for validation, and does not get production authority over the database, wallets, storage, or frontier-model keys.
🎶 FM, 💬 Chicle.chat, and Sharing
- FM.313.cash picks up playable audio extras. If your EXTRA is an audio file and is published cleanly, it can surface through FM.313.cash as a chartable, playable media object.
- Chicle.chat is your direct member tool. Open the signed-in nav chat button to use Chicle.chat. It is built for private conversation, shared media, and quick MAZA coordination without leaving Pinball.
- Share your profile, THING, or EXTRA links. Pinball pages are meant to travel. Profile links, creator pages, THING pages, and EXTRA pages can all become onboarding surfaces and referral touchpoints for new members. If someone is not logged in yet and presses the built-in join button from one of your public pages, that signup path can carry referral credit back to the creator who brought them in.
🐦⬛ Airdrop Assets + Search
- Some airdrop upside is tied to owned assets. Pinball’s faucet-backed game system uses tokenized assets like ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS, and PINBALL PIGEONS as part of the distribution model.
- You can look them up through THING search. Use the member dashboard quick search or the public login-page search boxes to search those asset names directly.
- Ownership can matter during airdrops. When those assets are held, parts of the faucet-backed reward flow can route value to the holders over time.
🧟 CoinZombie + CA$HY
- Use CoinZombie to onboard a chain. Visit coinzombie.live, open the intake form, and submit the coin’s core identity, chain notes, contacts, socials, and API pulse data if available.
- An API is helpful, but not mandatory. Coins can still go through review without an external market API. When that happens, the submission may need more undertaker work or a self-broadcast market feed built from Pinball bridge and crossing data.
- Approval puts the coin on the public board. Once reviewed, the coin can appear on the live CoinZombie index and start building its own community-governed market history instead of waiting for a centralized listing site to care.
- CA$HY is the CoinZombie wager system. On coinzombie.cash, members can lock an up/down position on supported markets, watch the settlement countdown, and track refunds or payouts from the member ledger.
🌉 Bridges + Crossings
- Think of a bridge as a private crypto storefront. A bridge is not a pooled public exchange book. A member loads real on-chain inventory from one wallet, sets a rate, and offers a direct trade path to other members.
- A crossing is the fill ticket. The crossing is the two-leg settlement flow that completes against a bridge. First the buyer sends the quote coin in. Then the storefront wallet sends the listed inventory coin back out.
- This is built for mom-and-pop market making. Every builder can quote their own price, set their own note, and run their own market without handing custody to a centralized exchange. The bridge itself is the storefront inventory plus the toll reserve that keeps the on-chain settlement moving.
- Start from an address you control. On the address show page, press +1 BRIDGES BETA. That opens the storefront builder for that wallet.
- Build the storefront with four main decisions. Pick the coin you are selling from, pick the buyer coin, choose how much inventory to list, and set how much the buyer pays for 1 unit of your source coin. You can also add a storefront note and a fill limit before reload.
- Browse the live board, then open a crossing ticket. Every supported bridge coin has a live storefront board. From there, a buyer can open a crossing ticket, choose how much they want to receive or spend, preview the two on-chain legs, and submit the trade.
- Current bridge coins are intentionally limited. Right now the supported trade pairs are MAZA, BTC, LTC, DOGE, MONA, NAV, and TRI.
Practical first experiment: create or fund a MAZA address, press +1 BRIDGES BETA, list a small MAZA storefront against LTC or BTC, then open the board and inspect the crossing preview before risking larger inventory.
Beta note: bridges and crossings are live, but still treated as experimental storefront infrastructure. Use small amounts first and learn the preview math before scaling up.
