Sequence of events: -Begin by mining the Cloutchain Genesis block. The address chosen for your Cloutbase Transaction Reward establishes the Root key (aka your TSN Address). This also provides you with a balance of Clout which you will need for functionality in the system. -Set your Identity Block Publishing Server by opening a BPS 'Account' via an OP_Return Transaction with the appropriate Cloutchain encoding prefix. -Publish your Identity Blockchain Genesis block under the URL https://www.your_bps.com/your_handle/Identity-Blockchain by creating your first TSN Reference, the Genesis Cloutbase Reference, which will be the sole Reference. Since there are no previously accepted Identity Blocks, this Reference will refer to the Cloutbase OP_Return txid which opened your BPS. Future Cloutbase References will refer to the Cloutchain txid of the previously (accepted by the network) Identity Block. In other words, the txid of the Cloutbase Reward transaction 6 blocks after the Identity Block proposal transaction was confirmed (which will contain the IB Hash). Add an Identity Block Header (previous block hash field will have to be empty). -Propose your Identity Blockchain Genesis block to the Cloutchain Network via an OP_Return Transaction with the appropriate Cloutchain encoding prefix. -Once this block is accepted by the Cloutchain Network you are ready to start producing content!
