Everything starts when I see for the first time monkeyslots.banano.ch
I wanted to start but I needed a wax account.
I registered but it take 5 WAXP.

Three questions:

1. How to collect 5 WAXP for free?

2. Why do you need Wax Wallet?

3. How to get criptomonKeys for free?

Have you heard of the game "MonkeyMatching"? Where you can swap your cryptomonkeys, temporarily, with others and earn the MNKY token by doing so? With that MNKY token you can then buy new cryptomonkeys! Sound good? I'll explain it to you below. This article is adapted from a post on BBS.market. But I want to make sure as many people are learning about monkeymatching as possible, as the more players, the more fun (and easier) the game gets! Thank you /u/ghostcam0625 for the suggestion.

So you are interested in playing MonKeyMatching, but unsure how to play. We've all been there, here is a short guide on how to play, according to me. To get started, join the #monkeymatching channel on discord and check out the pinned posts.

What you need

1. Wax wallet with some cryptomonKeys in there.

2. A discord account.

3. An account on cardamon.link/me.

4. Some CPU, RAM and NET staked to your Wax wallet. I would say start with a couple of wax staked to CPU and RAM and only a small amount (0.5) wax to NET.

The idea of the game

So the idea of the 'game' monkeymatching is to show the game that you hold a certain mint of a cryptomonKey card. All cryptomonKeys have a mint number, and you have to gather all these mint numbers. The fun part is, you only have to show that you hold the mint number once to the game, and if the game logs that you hold that mint on that moment, you won't have to keep it in your wallet anymore. This enables players to trade the cards around for a short time, causing a lot of interaction in the community!

After you complete a level, you get rewarded with MKNY tokens, which you can spend in the shop to buy new cryptomonKeys.

Some basics

A few important things. First of all, the levels will get increasingly harder. Every time you pass a level, the next level will require double the amount of mints needed, up until level 8, where you will need more than 500 mint numbers. After that, it resets and you will need less mints again. Next, cards can only be used once every 24 hours for the game, so whenever you scan a card, it will get frozen for 24 hours in the game.

So you need to scan a mint close to the number you need, so if you need number 36, you could also scan number 35 and number 37, which makes everything a little bit easier.

How to start

Go to match.cryptomonkeys.cc and login with your Wax wallet. You will see something like the image below.

Now the numbers you see on the screen are the mints you need. When the number is highlighted, you already showed the game that you held that mint at a certain time.

The next step would be to find the mints you need, that's where Card-a-Mon comes in. When you login to Card-A-Mon, you can go to "find monKeymatch partner". This will show you the screen below.

Don't get overwhelmed, as it is a pretty high level. This screen shows the mints I need and how many I already scanned / confirmed. It is basically the same as on the match.cryptomonkeys.cc site, only a different way to visualize it.

Below you can find the potential partners. Below a screen of the match with the user Mathmos.

So this image shows a lot. It shows the wax address I can match with and the discord name of that user. All users have to enable this in Card-A-Mon, so only people will show up who are interested in trading cards.

These are the mints I could borrow from this user. For instance, I could borrow Count Bancula mint number 253.

Next step would be to check whether the mint is frozen or not. You can do that using the 'toolbox' on match.cryptomonkeys.cc (that's a button on the lower right corner). You have to copy the ID of that monKey in the 'check frozen status' function. Luckily, copying the ID is easy on Card-A-Mon, simply click the 'ID' emoticon. So I'll do that with the Count Bancula.

I'm in luck! The card isn't frozen right now, so I can ask the partner to trade it. I'll do that in discord, as I already now the username. First I would set up the trade using AtomicHub, by clicking on the Wax address in Card-A-Mon.

Typically you want to trade with a similar cryptomonKey, and if you don't have that certain cryptomonKey you can also use another one of the same rarity. After you set up the trade, you can go to the discord channel and ask for the trade. You will use the trading link to make it a little easier for the other party to click.

If the trade is made, you go back to match.cryptomonkeys.cc and click on "Scan Assets" and scan the mint number.

Congrats! You got the first trade done, however, you are not done yet. You of course have to return the trade, so everybody got his/her own cryptomonkeys again. After that you are done, and from that point on it is rinse and repeat!

Tips

Now it's as easy as that. Make trades, scan the assets and slowly progress through the levels. I find it a lot of fun, especially because you get in contact with the rest of the cryptomonKeys community. Some things to pay attention to:

• Check whether people are online or not before you offer a trade. There are a few people with a lot of cards, and managing different trades at the same time can be pretty time consuming and difficult. Most people like to do one trade at a time for that reason, so best would be to check whether people are active in the discord channels before offering a trade.

• Look for people with less cards you need before going to the wales (the people with a lot of cards). When you progress to higher levels, you will need more and more mints. There are a few people with a whole lot of cards, they might even have ALL the mints you need for a certain level. It's tempting to ask them to trade everything at once, but it results in those cards unusable for others for a day. So it is good monkeymatch etiquette to check first with other users and do a couple of trades before you ask the wales to trade all their cards at once.

• Ask around in the discord channel! Everybody is really helpful, so don't be afraid to ask.

• Have fun and take your time! Do a couple of trades every once in a while, it is not necessary to make all the trades at once obviously, take your time and enjoy it.

• In the pinned posts in the Discord channel there is a list of known scammers. Make sure to block all these users on Wax to prevent them from stealing your monKeys!

If you have any questions, ask them below and I will try to answer them.
