+# Getting your Discord token (2 minutes)
+
+The daemon needs your Discord **user session token**. It goes in one
+place only: `/data/orbisRPC/config.json`, in the `"token"` slot.
+
+## Step 1 — copy it from your browser
+
+1. On your PC/Mac, open Discord in a browser (Thorium, Chrome, anything
+   logged in) and press **F12** (DevTools).
+2. At the top of the console panel, make sure the context dropdown says
+   **`top`** — not a worker. (Wrong context gives
+   `localStorage is not defined`.)
+3. Paste this and hit Enter:
+   ```
+   copy(localStorage.token)
+   ```
+   The token is now on your clipboard. It looks like
+   `MTM4...Gs0Z...-Tcr8...` (three parts separated by dots).
+
+Do NOT paste the token into any Discord chat or server — Discord
+auto-invalidates leaked tokens on sight, and then it stops working.
+
+## Step 2 — paste it into config.json
+
+1. Open `/data/orbisRPC/config.json` on the PS4 (FTP it to your PC,
+   edit, send it back — or edit in place).
+2. Replace `"SET_ME"` with your token, keeping the quotes:
+   ```json
+   {"token": "paste-it-here", ...}
+   ```
+3. Save, re-run the payload from `/data/payloads`.
+
+## Step 3 — check it worked
+
+- Launch a game → your Discord profile shows it within ~30 seconds.
+- In `log.txt`: `discord: gateway ready`, no `4004` lines.
+- If you see `gateway closed during auth: 4004`, the token is dead —
+  redo Step 1 (password changes and "log out everywhere" kill tokens).
+
+One account per token. Each login mints a fresh one; old copies die.
