Hi there Hoppers!
In this tutorial we explain how you set up your Hopper and Poloniex account.
Your Hopper will trade on your behalf on your Poloniex account, where your Bitcoins are stored.
| Create an account at Poloniex.com First, we're going to create your Poloniex account. Go to Poloniex.com After registration, you will have to verify your account. This is to prevent money laundering. |  |
| Funding On Poloniex, your Hopper will trade with Bitcoins. The main goal on Poloniex is to collect more Bitcoins. Go to Balances - > Deposits & Withdrawals |  |
| Deposit Bitcoin Search for Bitcoin and click Deposit. You will see your Bitcoin Deposit address. Send your Bitcoins to this address. Double check that you've selected Bitcoin and the addres you are sending your Bitcoins to. Don't have any Bitcoins? Buy them here. |  |
| API Key To trade on your behalf, we need permission from you. Therefore, we need an API key. Go to the "Setting" dropdown menu -> click API Keys |  |
| Click "Generate New Key" |  |
| API Key We will need your API key and your secret key. When you create your API key, you can choose if you want us to only be able to trade or also to withdraw. With withdraw checked, it’s easier for you to send your profits directly from your Cryptohopper.com account to your private Bitcoin wallet. |  |
| Configure your Hopper Go to your dashboard at Cryptohopper.com. Click Config You can fill in your API key and secret key at the bottom and make sure to click save. |  |
