YouSeddit User Guide

Welcome to the YouSeddit user guide. This section provides detailed instructions for journalists, content creators, and media organizations on how to use the YouSeddit platform.

Getting Started

Account Setup

1. Create a YouSeddit account at youseddit.com/signup
2. Complete email verification and two-factor authentication setup
3. Generate your PGP key pair or import an existing key
4. Connect a compatible crypto wallet

Email Configuration

To use Youseddit’s email verification system:

1. Configure your email client to use PGP/GPG for email signing
2. Add your verification email (verify@youseddit.com) to trusted recipients
3. Install the YouSeddit email plugin for your preferred email client

Using the Platform

Recording Conversation Turns

1. Conduct your email exchange using PGP/GPG signed emails.
2. Forward each relevant email (initiator or response) individually to verify@youseddit.com as the conversation progresses, or forward the entire thread when complete for batch processing (system must identify individual turns and their order).
3. The system verifies signatures, identifies each turn (initiator/response), records it on the ledger, and links it to the previous turn’s record.
4. Review the recorded conversation chain via the YouSeddit interface.

Licensing & Verification

Once turns are recorded on the ledger:

1. C2PA Attestation: Each recorded turn automatically receives a C2PA manifest containing verifiable links to its ledger entry and the previous turn’s entry.
2. Licensing: Select specific quotes (typically responses) within the chain that you wish to license. Set licensing terms (exclusive/non-exclusive, duration, pricing) via associated smart contracts.
3. Verification: Use the YouSeddit browser extension or verification tools to inspect the C2PA manifest of any quote, verify its authenticity against the ledger, and trace its context backward through the conversation chain.

Selling Quote Access

1. Share your quote marketplace listing with potential buyers
2. Approve access requests through the dashboard
3. Monitor usage and receive automated payments
4. Manage renewal and termination of licenses
