  • Finally I found a video that explained exactly what I was looking for. I'm new to the crypto world. I have everything set up, but I wasn't really sure how to buy another token with my ETH. I wasn't sure of the process. NOW I get it. You have taken a real load off my shoulders. Thank you so much Daniel. Clear, methodical, easy to understand. Nice :)

Finally I found someone that is clear, basic but to the point. well done. You asked someone what videos you should do. Check out what other people are doing in regards to crypto currencies and do it better, doing it better just means - you do it (because you do it well - we noobs all need it. I know that I will be sharing this video with others. Cheers Geoff (New Zealand)

  • @Daniel Kaspo great tutorial but Very confused. Does this tutorial show how to buy tokens or coins? I keep reading that you can store any coins on Etherium's block chain network in MEW, but if they are coins which the video would suggest based on the fact you used ShapeShift, why are they stored as tokens in MEW? And are the tokens equivalent to TRX coin? Can the TRX tokens stored in MEW be used to buy other crypto coins, or be moved into another coin wallet as opposed to a token wallet?

  • Hi Daniel, thanks for your informative videos! I was hoping to find the answer to a question unfortunately you didn't mention the answer in the video (likely because the question makes no sense - I'm new to crypto). Here is the question: I was told that Myetherwallet is the ETH equivalent of what Bitaddress is to BTC, meaning a form of paper wallet. I know that with Bitaddress, once your private key was used in connection with the internet, it is so longer safe and you are better off creating a new paper wallet with Bitaddress. Does this principle also apply to Myetherwallet? Meaning would my account safety also be sacrificed one I send coins or tokens to another address (as it is the case with paper wallts from Bitaddress)? Thanks already for all your input and keep up the good work. Helps guys like my understand this new universe !

    • Tangiek popslokyes Thank you! The gas slider is how much of a fee you want to pay for the transaction you're sending. For a simple send, you can get away with a 4 gwei transaction, it will get accepted pretty fast and cost very little. Just be warned, if the network is congested because many people are sending transactions, it will take longer for your transactions to get picked up.

    @AlexWelch89@AlexWelch896 жыл бұрын
    • Alex Welch at 1:05, you download that keystore file. You need to take that keystore file and put it on your new computer to be able to send funds. If you lose your keystore file, you have permanently lost all of your funds. Although not the most secure option, sending yourself an email with the file could save you heartache in the future. The downside is if someone hacks your email and finds the file, they'll eventually crack the password on the keystore and steal your funds.

      @DanielKaspo@DanielKaspo6 жыл бұрын

    • ShiniCP9 great question! It all depends on how congested the network is. If no one else is trying to send transactions at the time, set it low and it will be picked up. If the network is under heavy use, you'll need to set it higher or else it will never get picked up. Check out what the suggested gas price is on here: ethgasstation.info/
