not interested in myetherwallet for storgae, seen the guide and confuses me
has anyone downloaded the full ethereum windows client and stored their qrl that way?
if so, is there a guide out there for this for the full eth client, and do you need a small balance of ethereum in the wallet to receive, if so how much
thanks
Hey, Guido. I am using MEW, but I don't like it. But also at present moving away from a Ledger Nano S., so . . .
I understand you need a pinch of Eth in an Eth because that's what provides the 'gas' for transactions. Gotta understand this better, me.
Yeah exactly as you said you need some ETH in your wallet to pay the transaction costs. The transaction costs are called "gas" and are measured in the units of "gwei", you will have to have some ETH in your wallet for whatever transaction you do on the Ethereum blockchain, weather it is sending ERC20 tokens (such as QRL currently is) or sending ETH around, it all needs ETH (gas) to be processed.
What I dont understand is why you are saying that you are moving away from the ledger nano S. I understand why people dont like MEW and see a security risk in it (although this also depends on the security measures one conducts, it actually can be used very safely, if done the right way), but the Ledger Nano S is the safest way to store ETH and ERC20 tokens that are laying on your ETH wallet, because the private key cant leave the device and therefore never is exposed to attacks, no matter how much viruses and malware there is on your computer. I definitely vouch for hardware wallets.
Hey, bribed!
I found the instructions for the Ledger totally unsatisfactory, and only agreed to use one because a crypto-geek associate set it up for me. And last week,
the device failed. Luckily, we had a brand-new spare -- we initially bought two -- and the change over is underway.
Also had to use the MEW to access tokens in my Ledger Eth account. The MEW is likewise poorly designed. The pair of them -- the MEW connected to the Ledger -- gives me the creeps!!
