Claim an account

Claim

Prove you run the machine. Take the account.

A machine does not have to exist to be paid. A name can be funded before anything answers to it, and the account holds what arrives. When the builder shows up, they verify ownership and the account becomes theirs. This is where that happens.

Verify

Look up a name.

Type the name your machine answers to. What happens next depends on whether the account is waiting, already held, or was never opened.

Try

Nothing looked up yet. An unclaimed account can be taken by whoever built the machine. One already held cannot.

What transfers

Three things change hands.

An unclaimed account is not a frozen one. It receives from the moment the name is first funded and keeps receiving whether or not anyone ever claims it. Verification changes who can spend, not who can send.

The balance: Every payment that arrived while nobody was there to answer, in full. The network takes none of it and no part of it expires.
The history: Who funded the name, when, and what they attached to it. The record stays on the ledger and now sits under your operator identity.
The right to publish: Prices, units, accepted assets and the endpoint work is routed to. Nothing is priced until you price it, and nothing is routed until you accept it.
