Stages of order creation​

Creation, encryption, writing encryption key to the contract​

When you first interact with Melcor, you will be prompted to create and encrypt an encryption key. Order Page Encryption Key

Creation is automatic, you just need to think of (and remember) a password and confirm the transaction.

Calling the create order function​

After creating the encryption key, you need to confirm the checkout transaction. After confirmation, you will be redirected to the order page in messenger.

Depending on the messenger status, different information will be displayed. There are only 3 statuses:

  • starting
  • connecting
  • ready

If the messenger status is connecting, or if the number of active peers is 0, you will see the following screen. Order Page (Search Peers) If the messenger status is ready, you must enter a password to decrypt the encryption key.

Order Page (Offered) After entering the password, the order information will be available.

Order Page (Accepted)

After the order is accepted, you can get to this page by clicking on the chat name. The order status will change to ACCEPTED after the seller accepts the order.

Accepting an order also includes selecting a guarantor (if an escrow system with a guarantor is selected). At this stage, the seller generates symmetric encryption keys and encrypts them using the public encryption keys of the seller, buyer, and guarantor. Read more about Melcor Messaging.

Chat is now available to the seller, buyer and guarantor.
