# How To Get Started

Steps to get started are pretty straightforward:

* Invite the bot to a private chat and make the bot an admin of the chat.  The chat must be private and all sharing settings must be turned off.
  * The bot is continuously listening to the state of the chat, including settings and attendees.  If settings are changed or more than two users are in the room with the bot, The Feed will terminate and a message sent indicating what the issue is.
  * Resolve the issue and The Feed will restart.  The bot will notify you via a confirmation message when the settings have been returned to an appropriate level.
* Follow the on-screen prompts and enter the “/start” command
* Select your desired subscription level and duration to proceed to the payment screen
  * We accept crypto in the form of SOL only at this time.  Other options may be available in the future.
* A prompt will appear showing the current exchange rate, the amount of SOL to be sent and the address to send it to.
  * VERY IMPORTANT:  send the exact amount indicated only to the address given.  If you send to any other address than the one given, your SOL is likely lost and there is nothing we can do to get your funds back.
  * The bot will ask for the transaction hash and verify on-chain the transaction amount, the address sent to is correct, and that the transaction has been confirmed.
* Once successful, you now have access to The Feed and filtering capability based on your subscription tier.
