Gas Station
Saving to the blockchain costs ether. Choose your price below. Mystified?
What's all this about?
Peepeth writes data (Peeps, follows, account info) to the blockchain. Each transaction costs a little bit of ether, the Ethereum cryptocurrency. Think of it like buying storage online.
"Gas" is a measure of how complicated a blockchain transaction is. Signing up on Peepeth takes 82000 gas, for example. Posting takes 27500 gas. Gas is just a measure; it is priced in ether.
You can pick your gas price. Set a low gas price and your transaction will take longer. Too low and it might never get picked up.
The "Cheapest" option is best if your action isn't urgent. It'll appear on Peepeth instantly, anyway. (You'll be notified when your transaction gets confirmed).

Offer Ensō
Instead of a Like button, Peepeth has the Ensō. Offer Ensō to timeless Peeps that enlighten, inspire, or entertain.
- Offer a maximum of 1 Ensō per day.
- An Ensō is forever. There is no undo.
Ensō (円相 , "circle") is a circle that is hand-drawn in one uninhibited brushstroke. It represents creativity, freedom of expression, and unity.
Why Ensō?
The Ensō is used on Peepeth to encourage the creation of dignified, beautiful, and timeless content. Although a symbol of Zen Buddhism, it is used here to represent the secular values above.

Tip
Immortalize your name
Write your name directly the Peepeth smart contract. You'll gain some Peepeth cred and get a lock icon on your profile page.
Registering your name shows other users you've made a small investment in your Peepeth account. Others can filter out accounts who have not registered. It provides no extra functionality.
Your name is saved to the blockchain, but this cements it directly to the Peepeth smart contract.
Click "Register now" below. You'll need a small amount of ether to power the transaction (usually 2-25 cents' worth).

Why sign in?
Q: Peepeth is asking me to sign in, but it looks like I already have. What's going on?
Congrats! You've saved your account to the blockchain. Peepeth can see your public Ethereum address through MetaMask, and is displaying the associated blockchain account. That's why it looks like you're signed in.
However, Peepeth.com doesn't yet know if you control your Ethereum address. Peepeth.com has some optional features (batch saving, email notifications, Twitter cross-posting) that require us to be sure you really control your blockchain account. That's why we ask you to sign in.
Q: How does sign in work?
When you click "Sign in", a MetaMask window will pop up asking you to "Sign" a message, which proves you control your address. It just takes a few clicks. No email or password are required.
Q: Does signing in let Peepeth execute blockchain transactions on my behalf?
No. It only proves to us that you control your Ethereum address. To read more about MetaMask's "sign" feature, click here.
Q: Do I have to sign in?
No. Signing in gives you access to optional features. Notably, not signing in means you'll have to pay Ethereum transaction fees every time you post or follow.
Sign In
Show us it's you by signing a special message. Read more.
Signing in proves to us that you control your Ethereum address. Click below to open the MetaMask popup; then click "Sign". You'll then be able to post and follow freely and instantly, and save your actions to the blockchain at your leisure.
Signing a message is safe. Signed messages cannot impersonate Ethereum transactions. Signing will not compromise your private key. To read more about message signing in MetaMask, click here.
Great! Now click "Sign"
Batch-saving
Peepeth is cheap to use because it lets you bulk-save actions to the blockchain. That means you can post and follow on Peepeth.com for free, and then save everything to the blockchain in one transaction.
Some of your actions (like Peeps and follows) are saved to Peepeth.com, but haven't been saved to the blockchain yet. To immortalize them, click "Save to blockchain", and all your outstanding actions will be written to the blockchain in a single transaction.
Peepeth lets you save 15 actions off-chain before you must save them all to the blockchain. That number may later change.
Save to the blockchain
Some actions have not been saved to the blockchain yet. To lock your actions, save them to the blockchain now in a single transaction.
You can take up to 15 off-chain actions before saving them.
Peepeth lets you batch-save your actions to the blockchain for ease of use and to save on transaction fees.
Your Peeps are currently saved to IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) and on Peepeth's servers, but are not indexed on the blockchain. Saving to the blockchain will make your Peeps available to anybody with access to the Ethereum network and IPFS. Currently, readers must access your Peeps through Peepeth.com, which could be blocked or censored by third parties.
Save early and save often. The only way to provably timestamp a Peep is to record it on the blockchain. All Peeps saved in a batch must be marked with the same timestamp (although on Peepeth they will show their original creation dates). So immediately save your critical Peeps to the blockchain.
