Questions, answered.

I already have an account. How do I install on a new computer?

If you still have a computer running Reshoot, use reshoot.ai/add. The new computer shows six digits; approve those digits on the working computer. There are no account words to type. This is the normal, everyday way to add a machine.

If you have no working Reshoot machine any more because it was lost, wiped, or sold, recover the account with the twelve words you wrote down. Use the command for the new computer:

Replace the example words inside the quotes with your twelve words, separated by single spaces.

Type the words only on your own computer. Never type them on a shared or borrowed computer, never paste them into a website, and never send them to anyone. Nobody from Reshoot will ever ask for them.

A recovered machine holds the account key, so it can also approve new machines. That is different from the six-digit join, which deliberately never copies the key to the machine being added.

Everything the account earned comes back with it. Contribution lives on the coordinator's ledger, not on the machine.

How do I uninstall Reshoot?

One command, same as installing. It stops the app, removes everything it put on your computer, and takes itself out of startup. Copy the line for your system, paste it in, press Enter.

One thing is deliberately kept: a small key file that is your account. It sits in the old install folder, takes no space, runs nothing, and means you can come back later without losing what your machine already earned. If you want even that gone, add --also-delete-keys (on Windows: -AlsoDeleteKeys) to the command above — that removal is permanent.

Does uninstalling delete my account?

No. Your account is the twelve words you wrote down when you joined — not the software. Uninstall on every machine you own and the account still exists; install again on any computer, choose recover, type the twelve words, and everything you earned is back. The only way to lose the account is to lose the words.

Why can only my first computer approve new machines?

On purpose. Your first computer holds the account key — the thing that proves the account is yours. When you add a second machine with the six digits, that key deliberately never travels to it: the new machine gets permission to work for your account, not the power to speak for it. A machine that never received the key cannot let other machines in, so if a laptop is ever lost or borrowed, whoever has it cannot quietly grow your account. Approve new machines from the computer you started with.
