+# Current YT Sync Process
+
+- start daemon with clean `.lbryum` dir
+- `wallet_list` to get an address
+- send credits to address. make sure the send is split into 50 or so txns, and that there are enough credits to publish all the videos
+- wait for credits to arrive and be confirmed
+- run `lbry ytsync YOUTUBE_KEY CHANNEL_ID CHANNEL_NAME --max-tries=5`
+  - `max-tries` will retry errors that you will undoubtedly get
+- after sync is done, stop daemon and move `.lbryum`dir somewhere safe
+- mark content synced in doc
