### 3. Copy your secret recovery phrase

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Make sure to save your private key.** Your private key provides full access to your wallet and funds.

* Hemi team members will never ask you for private keys.
* Do not share it with anyone.
  {% endhint %}

After you have saved your private key in a secure area, click `'Continue.'`

### 4. Select address type

Hemi currently uses two primary address types:

* **Legacy (P2PKH):** PoP mining currently requires a P2PKH address, although this may change at some point in the future.&#x20;
* **Native SegWit (P2WPKH):** For everything else on Hemi (i.e., Bitcoin tunneling), any address type can be used but P2WPKH will (generally) be the cheapest fee-wise.

{% hint style="info" %}
We recommend creating a **Native SegWit** wallet to jumpstart in the Bitcoin ecosystem. New wallets and other address types can be created in the future.
