The first thing I need to do is getting a RaiBlocks wallet. I don't know much about RaiBlocks wallets. I only know that there are official wallet and third party wallets. And I don't know the pros and cons of each wallet at the moment so I would appreciate if experienced people could share some opinions.
So aside from owning the key or not, what are the pros and cons of each RaiBlocks wallet?
Well I've only use two wallets and that's the official raiblock wallet and the raiwalletbot on telegram based on my experience here's what I think:
Raiwalletbot
Pros:
Very easy to use can be use in both mobile phone and a pc
Fast transaction (it takes less than a minute)
Cons:
Has 1 mrai fee when you send mrai to a certain address
Requires a mobile phone and number for verification
You don't own keys of if you happen to lose your phone it will be hard for you to retrieve your coins
And if the bot has a problem there will be a delay in your transactions
Official Raiblock Wallet
Pros:
You own keys so you have full control of your coins
No transaction fees
No need to verify using a mobile phone number
Cons:
It takes a lot of time to seed your wallet sometimes it takes days
More complicated than the raiwallet bot
You can encounter lots of seeding problems
Verdict: If you are a newbie then I suggest you use the raiwallet bot on telegram it's easy to use and transactions are very fast you can receive your coins within seconds but if you want to have a full control of your coins then use the official wallet but I don't recommend it though it takes so much time to receive the coins.
