The setup flow lets you generate a local recovery phrase or import one, verifies generated phrases with a 4-word check, stores the wallet in `.mivora/wallet.json`, stores peers and setup state in `.mivora/config.json`, and does not create a chain yet.

`--genesis` only works when the wallet file already exists. It creates the starter chain, measures 10,000 VDF rounds locally, extrapolates that measurement to a 60-second initial round count, and persists the validated chain to `.mivora/chain.sqlite3`. The same data directory resumes automatically on later runs.

```
`--join` fetches a chain snapshot from the peer before mining starts and announces this node's P2P listener back to that peer, so newly mined blocks can flow back without restarting the first node. If the peer cannot provide a snapshot, the node exits instead of silently starting a separate chain. Additional peers can be added from the Configuration screen.

```
Friends who join after you start will adopt your genesis and current chain. The starter wallet begins with 1 spendable coin after the bootstrap burn, which can be configured as the block 1 burn from the UI, creating the ticket for block 2. After the starter mines the first block reward, send friends coins from the UI; then they can choose a burn amount and compete for future blocks. Every joining node starts with a 0-coin automatic burn unless it is configured otherwise.
