I started from the "
user guide" link about the use of Mixin safe that the OP listed on the first page of the thread.
Several App guides exist on the "Get Started" page to use Mixin Safe.
The order of the guides I see is based on popularity statistics, so the guides will always be random if based on these categories.
My suggestion is for the user guide to be grouped in order based on each App so that new users can focus on guide material suitable for the application they will use.
Here are some steps that I did to try Mixin Safe:
- Mornin Key installationIn the account creation process, after getting the Mnemonic Phrase, I tried to screenshot it, and it worked. In my opinion, the developer (One Mornin Software Solutions Ltd) should use a feature to prevent taking screenshots of the seed phrase display on the Mornin key.
- Mixin Messenger Installationhttps://mixin.one/messengerThe iOS version of Mixin Messenger and the MacOS version can be installed on my iPhone and MacBook, but when I wanted to install it on my Android smartphone, it turned out that the application was not available for my country (Indonesia).
Next, I tried registering for Mixin Messenger on my iPhone, but I encountered the problem of not getting the code to log in despite repeated attempts. Finally, I tried emailing
kelly@mixin.one because some of the solutions listed on
https://mixinmessenger.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360024114492 did not solve my problem. But I was still waiting for a reply from the Mixin team, and after a few hours, there was no reply (Email support is not responsive). I tried to contact Mixin through the chat feature, and there was a reply from Kelly. He provides several solutions as follows:
But from some of these solutions, the code problem has not been resolved, so Mixin will try to contact the SMS operator, and it takes about 3 days:
I can't access Mixin Safe with Mixin Messenger due to the above issues.
If there is already information from Mixin, I will try to update it here. ...
UPDATE IAfter waiting a few days, I tried logging into Mixin Messenger again, and this time, the notification code finally appeared so I could open Mixin Messenger (I use a phone number from a cellular provider in Indonesia). Thank you, Mixin team, for your help.
- Test Login to https://safe.mixin.zone/loginAfter getting the QR code, I tried to scan it using Mixin Messenger; several points on the Request Authorization are all automatically active, 4 of which can be turned off.
I tried to deactivate some of the requested points.
Next is creating a PIN, then confirming several points on the Request Authorization by typing in the previously created PIN.
In the example above, when the four points for authorization are not active, it turns out that I cannot log in at all to Mixin Safe.
So I tried repeating the process by activating all the options. Here are the results:
- Test login to Mixin Messenger Desktop (MacOS)After scanning the barcode that appears on Mixin Messenger Desktop and entering the PIN code, here are the results:
- Add Mixin Messenger ContactsThe Add Contact option on the Mixin messenger desktop is less than on the smartphone version:
Some of my contacts use Android smartphones, so they likely cannot use Mixin Messenger because it is unavailable in Indonesia. I tried to add the Mixin ID of one of the following users he listed in
his post.
A little surprised when I opened My Contact, it turned out that one of my friend's contact numbers was already registered in Mixin, so it was automatically listed in the Mixin Messenger contact list.
- Set Emergency ContactI tried looking for this feature but didn't find it on Mixin Messenger iOS, I don't know if it's on the Android version, or maybe I missed it.
- Create Mixin Safe using Mornin KeyAfter previously successfully logging in at
https://safe.mixin.zone/, next I tried to create Mixin Safe using the Mornin Key:
I used the Bitcoin Lightning Network payment method for the Standard upgrade option in the Upgrade Plan process.
After the transaction was successful, it turned out that the create button did not appear either, so I refreshed the web browser, but apparently, my account was still not upgraded. Is this a bug?
I tried to chat with Mixin about this, and she promised to check with the dev team up tomorrow:
...
While waiting for confirmation about the problems with the BTC lightning network payment method, I tried to deposit from my Trezor wallet to my BTC address on Mixin Messenger.
As this was my first deposit, I tried using a small amount first, as instructed on the Mixin wallet. Bitcoin deposit on Mixin was successful after 3 confirmations:

UPDATE III tried to ask again about the issue of paying via BTC Lightning (using the Crypto option in the payment method):
While waiting for a solution from Mixin & Mixin Pay (the payment gateway provider), I tried to create a new safe; This time, I used MixPay+ Wallets using BTC as the payment method.
The process is relatively fast, and this time the Create button appears; Here are some screenshots of the process until the new safe can be active:
- Deposit to SafeThe Deposit to Safe process is pretty straightforward, for testing I tried sending from two different wallets:
a. From Trezor Wallet 0.0001 BTC with a fee of 0.00001071 BTC

(Quite expensive if for small transactions) - Send a TransactionI try to send all the balance in Safe to the Mixin wallet. Here are some of the processes:
Mixin Team's feedback:Thanks for the solution, 2 pUSD is already in my Mixin Wallet:
Since I have previously created another Safe, and the $2 per year upgrade plan only allows for 1 Safe, I cannot use it for now unless I upgrade to Elite or Prosperity.
Conclusion:Overall, using Mixin messenger + Mornin Key is quite easy (I haven't tried using Ledger and Bitcoin Core).
Some of the issues I encountered, such as problems with accepting code for login & upgrade plan failure when using BTC lightning payment, finally got a pretty good solution from the Mixin team.
