Signup

Requirements

First of all, you have to be able to communicate in English. Maybe you already do, because you can read this :)

You also need a mail address. If you don't already have one, you can get one with the shell, talk to Independence.

Lastly, you need some means of establising IRL-contact. The standard way of doing this is by recieving an SMS, but a postcard or something like that would also work if you don't have a cellphone.

You should be active in the IRC-channel, both before and after you get your account.

Getting an account

To get an account, you have to complete a rather long signup process. Not in terms of time necessarily, but there are quite a few steps. This involves setting up several accounts. Firstly, you register your nickname on our home IRC network, you then create an account in the signup program (please use the same or at least similar nicknames!). If everything goes well then you will get a real system account on the server. Please read all the relevant information on this webpage (especially rules and the information pages) so you know what this type of service this is before you start applying for an account! Follow these steps and you should have an account in a couple of days:

  1. Join our IRC-channel #blinkenshell @ irc.systemshell.net or irc.overloadx.net. Register your nickname with the nickserv bot. Send "help register" to the user nickserv on the network to get help on registering your nickname or take a look at our[http://blinkenshell.org/wiki/Howto Howto].

  2. Go to the page ["Info/Login"] and follow the instructions to log on to the shell server.
  3. Once logged in to the server, you can run the shell signup program. There are six steps in this program that you have to complete to get an account.
  4. Before you can finish the last step in the signup program, I will manually check the info you have submitted. In the meantime, take a look at the next step.
  5. Hang around in the IRC-channel for some time (a couple of days) and try to get and know us. You have to be somewhat active, stats is available here so you can see how active you are: http://blinkenbot.blinkenshell.org/ When you have done this, remind me to look at your application, cause I usually forget ;-)

  6. You can now complete the last step in the signup program, the SMS activation. Log in with the signup user, and then with the signup account you created when you first ran the signup program. Try and make sure you get your number right the first time! Use the "test our gateway" on the right side on this page before you enter the number in the signup program: http://www.clickatell.com/brochure/coverage/coverage.php The SMS should arrive within a copule of minutes, usually in seconds.

  7. When you're done with all that, I'll review your application and manually create an account if everything looks allright. Good luck!

You can see what step you are currently at in the signup program at this page: http://signup.blinkenshell.org/

Feel free to ask us in the chat channel if you have any questions about the service.

I expect you to log in to the IRC-channel once in a while, even after you get your account. Please add #blinkenshell to your autojoin channels in your IRC client, and autoidentify with nickserv is probably a good idea too.

Tips

Sometimes it takes a long time go get to the next step when you are at step 4 or 6. This is because the administrator has to manually check up some things, and he doesn't always remember to do it. Just ask him nicely on IRC when he's around and it will probably be done before long. Also remember to try and be active on IRC.

New: Please take a look on the new page about ["Security"]!
