Basic TS guide!

Welcome to Tesseract! A Telegram-based marketplace. While buying is easy and safe once you know how, there are a few steps required to learn to stay safe and avoid being scammed. This guide will cover all you need to know in the buying process.

Finding Bots

First, visit Tesseract.bot to access the official list of shop bots. Ensure you find the correct bot names exclusively from this source and establish a secret phrase for security. Avoid using the Telegram search to locate bots, as scammers have created fake replicas. These fake bots may prompt you to enter your pass phrase again; do not comply with such requests. Remember, only official bots will have your phrase. Additionally, legitimate vendors will never message you requesting money.

Buying Crypto

On Tesseract, most vendors accept BTC, LTC, and XMR. It's recommended to use XMR for enhanced privacy. Discover where to purchase or exchange cryptocurrencies at KYCNot.me. A notable choice for XMR is Local Monero. Should you prefer to buy from standard exchanges like Binance, Kraken or Coinbase, remember to transfer your funds to a personal wallet first, Notable wallet options include Cake Wallet and Exodus for general use, and Electrum for PC users. Always ensure you copy the exact address and amount as instructed by the vendor. Tesseract only acknowledges payments that match the exact amount specified.

Sending Your Address

To guarantee that only the intended recipient (the vendor) can access your address information, encrypt it using PGP. This method ensures that no intermediary, including Telegram and Tesseract, can intercept the information. PGP encryption is highly secure and has remained unbreached. For Windows users, a trusted PGP client is Kleopatra, available at Gpg4win. It's advisable to learn about PGP encryption through online tutorials. If you don't have access to a PC, you can use Tesseract's in-built PGP tool at tspgp.com. For enhanced security, turn off wifi and mobile data while using it. Alternative tools, like those found at temp.pm, offer less security and are not recommended over PGP. Remember to follow the provided address format meticulously.

Problems With Your Order

If you encounter issues with an order, first try to resolve it by messaging the vendor through the bot. Most vendors are eager to assist and solve any issues. If you cannot reach an agreement or receive no response, contact Tesseract staff for assistance.
