next is creating the NEW regular key



Create another wallet but this time generate it randomly.

When ever you see this dialog the app is asking for randomness. Randomness is generated many ways.  

The text you type, the black pixels in the grey box, which you can alter with mouse motion. And the large integer that is also collecting entropy

This time you want to select "REGULAR KEY" and you will see a drop down menu asking for the master account. Here you put the OLD receive address from the other wallet you created a minute ago

SMART TIP:
You should test ihilda seed generation on your platform by testing a known key pair.

If you have rippled running "Verify with rippled" will show the address it's calculated.

You should your xrp in the account that says Regular. This means ihilda is configured correctly but does NOT mean your keys have changed. 

Before you do that you MUST back up the new regular key you just created. Click on it then click "Restore > Paper Wallet Wizard

You MUST keep this secure. don't rely on the app as your only copy of the key. Print or write down the key before continuing. The app can and does crash and can result in corrupted wallet files. YOUR PAPER WALLET IS YOUR KEY. I HAVE NO ACCESS TO YOUR KEYS. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE. This app is for convenience only.

next go to RCL Account Settings

You'll see an entry with a dropdown menu. If you can make the drop down menu display the regular key you made earlier then you are set. click Proceed. to transaction submit

At this point you could test the regular key. You could sign a trust transaction for r4H3F9dDaYPFwbrUsusvNAHLz2sEZk4wE5:ICE for free. This is a paid app with free abilities the instructions in this tutorial are free features. 

You could stop the tutorial now and have two signing keys for your account. Continuing with the remaining steps will disable the master key
