+'''Terminology:''' What you download and install on a device (smartphone, laptop, pc etc) is here referred to as the Obyte software platform, or more commonly "platform". The platform comes with a default wallet, and you can create more wallets on this platform on a device.
 [[File:wallet-dad.jpg|thumb|upright=0.67]] The main/hamburger menu (top left) is for the whole platform. Each cogwheel menu (halfway up on the right) works on the displayed wallet only.

+==Obyte platform==
 The installation now comes with a default single-address wallet, called "Small Expenses Wallet". You can create additional main wallets. A main wallet can also have sub-wallets (smart wallets) inside it, created by conditional-payment [[Special:MyLanguage/smart contract|smart contract]]s.
-===Multiple devices=== <!--T:5-->
+===Multiple devices===
+If you want a connected Obyte wallet on your pc and another one on your Android smartphone, choose the multi-device option [[wallet#add_wallet|as shown below]]. Don't try to build a second platform from the seed of the first: it will probably not function as expected, especially regarding blackbytes.

+====Convenience vs security====
 A 1of3 set-up is very convenient, and if one device fails (it happens) it's not a problem when you forgot to back it up. However, it is easier for a thief to get hold of your coins. Encrypting the platforms makes them more secure.
 A 3of3 set-up is dangerous, because if one device fails -- and the back-up fails too -- you have lost your coins. So try to strike a balance between convenience and security. Different people have different circumstances. Someone living in a college dormitory has a different situation to someone working from their secure home.
-===Independent or connected?=== <!--T:10-->
+===Independent or connected?===
 '''Connected:''' Useful for security. Will show the same balance and history across all devices.
-===Pairing=== <!--T:13-->
+===Pairing===
+Alice has Obyte on two devices, a smartphone and a laptop. Her smartphone platform has two wallets, a Small Expenses 1of1 wallet, and a Savings 1of2 wallet. She has [[glossary|pair]]ed the smartphone with her laptop, which only has one wallet, the shared Savings 1of2 wallet.
 Alice emails an address in her 1of2 wallet to Bob. Bob sends some Bytes to it. The transaction appears automatically in both her 1of2 wallets, on the smartphone and on her laptop.

 Later, Alice pairs her smartphone with Bob's device, a desktop. She does not pair her laptop with his device. They chat. The chat shows in her smartphone only. It does not show in her laptop because the pairing is between devices only, Alice's smartphone and Bob's desktop.
-===Light/easy or full/hard platform?=== <!--T:15-->
+===Light/easy or full/hard platform?===
 Always select the light option unless you REALLY need the full version. If you have funds sent to an address on a full platform you will be unable to spend them until it finishes synchronizing, and this can take a very long time. The bottleneck seems to be the read/write speed to the hard drive, with an SSD being preferred by far.<ref>https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1608859.msg19676106#msg19676106</ref>

+===Single-address wallet===
 A single-address wallet (platform version 1.11.0 on) you create will not generate the usual new [[Special:MyLanguage/change address|change address]]. Change will always go to the one-and-only address the wallet contains.
