<p>If you don’t have the Blockstack CLI. Download and install it first. Instructions are <ahref="https://github.com/blockstack/blockstack-cli/blob/master/README.md">here</a>. The rest of this tutorial assumes that you’ve already registered a name using the Blockstack CLI.</p>
<p>The first step is to activate “advanced mode” in the CLI. The command to do so is:</p>
<divclass="highlighter-rouge"><preclass="highlight"><code> $ blockstack set_advanced_mode on
</code></pre>
</div>
<h2id="step-2--add-an-openbazaar-account">Step 2: Add an OpenBazaar Account</h2>
<p>The second step is to create an OpenBazaar account for your profile (the <ahref="https://onename.com">Onename</a> app also enabled to link your OpenBazaar GUID). The command to do so is:</p>
<divclass="highlighter-rouge"><preclass="highlight"><code> $ blockstack put_account "<BLOCKSTACK ID>" "openbazaar" "<YOUR OB GUID>" "<URL TO YOUR STORE>"
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>The URL can be any valid URL; it won’t be used by OpenBazaar. Here’s an example, using the name <codeclass="highlighter-rouge">testregistration001.id</code> and the GUID <codeclass="highlighter-rouge">0123456789abcdef</code>:</p>
<h2id="profile-is-in-legacy-format">Profile is in legacy format</h2>
<p>If you registered your blockstack ID before spring 2016, there’s a chance that your profile is still in a legacy format. It will get migrated to the new format automatically if you update your profile on the <ahref="https://onename.com">Onename</a> app. However, you have to do this manually with the CLI.</p>
<p>It will take a little over an hour to complete, but once finished, you’ll be able to manage your accounts with the above commands (and do so with no delays).</p>
<h2id="failed-to-broadcast-update-transaction">Failed to broadcast update transaction</h2>
<p>This can happen during a <codeclass="highlighter-rouge">migrate</code> for one of a few reasons:</p>
<ul>
<li>You do not have enough balance to pay the transaction fee (which is calculated dynamically).</li>
<li>Your payment address has unconfirmed transactions.</li>
<li>You can’t connect to a Bitcoin node.</li>
</ul>
<p>To determine what’s going on, you should try the command again by typing <codeclass="highlighter-rouge">BLOCKSTACK_DEBUG=1 blockstack ...</code> instead of <codeclass="highlighter-rouge">blockstack...</code>.</p>
