Lifecycle: dormancy, reconnect & transfer
Dormancy & waking up
Section titled “Dormancy & waking up”After 30 days of no activity, the admin team gets warnings first (starting 3 days before dormancy, up to three times); once the timer runs out, the bot goes offline and the circle enters dormancy:
- Members opening the circle see a “Dormant” page with a Wake up button.
- Opening the circle from the console wakes it, and the bot reconnects shortly after.
- A dormant bot no longer receives messages; renewing VIP lifts dormancy automatically.
Disconnect & reconnect
Section titled “Disconnect & reconnect”Settings → Bot connection (or the bot settings page):
- Disconnect — pauses the connection to the Mixin Network and stops message delivery; you can reconnect any time.
- Reconnect — restores the connection once validation passes. Note: you can only reconnect the same Mixin bot (client ID); to switch bots you have to delete the circle and start over (one bot maps to one circle).
- Rotate credentials — requires disconnecting first; reconnecting asks you to type the circle number to confirm, guarding against accidents.
Ownership transfer
Section titled “Ownership transfer”Settings → Danger zone → Transfer ownership (owner only):
- Enter the target member’s Mixin ID and tick the confirmation.
- It takes effect immediately, no acceptance needed: they become the owner (revenue and payouts go to their wallet from then on), you become an admin, and your console access is unchanged.
- Both parties receive a private message, and the action is written to the History.
Admins cannot perform the transfer on the owner’s behalf; double-check the recipient’s Mixin ID.
Deleting the circle
Section titled “Deleting the circle”Delete from the danger zone on the bot settings page: the bot must be disconnected first; deletion removes the circle’s data and clears the stored bot credentials. Deletion is irreversible — to just pause, use disconnect or let the circle go dormant naturally.
