Beginners Guide: What is a wallet? How do my coins get stored? How does cryptocurrency work anyway? This post goes over what a wallet is, what the common different types of wallets are and their differences, and how wallets can be used at a basic level. Disclaimer: This post features creating a cold ripple wallet and assumes you know what ripple, wallets and how secret vs. public keys work and is offered ‘as is’ and accepts no responsibility for any damage or losses incurred etc. Users are encouraged to take normal safety precautions when online (ex: antivirus, incognito mode, checking links, etc.) Difficulty level: LOW Hints: The images are also direct links What Is a Cold Wallet? Cold wallets, also referred to as a paper wallet, are secure backups of cryptocurrency wallets. They are nominally stored offline in secure locations and are used to secure high value amounts that are not accessed often (the opposite of a hot wallet which is usually stored in an easily accessed area for frequent use). The secret key is generated securely and is not shared with anyone other than the holder of the cold/paper wallet. Easy Way to Generate a Cold Wallet WARNING FOR APPLE USERS Link: Issues with Ripple Wallets and Safari Attention for MAC users: Use ONLY Google Chrome as your browser for all Ripple wallets listed here. Do not use Safari when using any "web" based wallets There are issues with older wallets and Safari's Javascript engine. There are some community tools that have been created to help in the creation of cold/ paper wallets. One such tool can be found at https://bithomp.com/paperwallet/. The page will look like the illustration below Your Ripple address, the public key that can be shared or monitored on the ripple network. You can have funds sent to this wallet via this address from any other ripple wallet. You Secrete Key, how you prove ownership over a wallet and gives withdraw rights. DO NOT SHARE Click here to create new wallet. Note: Although generated your new ripple wallet is not active until the network minimum of 20 XRP is deposited. How to Restore Funds from a Paper Wallet Option 1) - Use one of the light Ripple clients This one has a nice interface: https://www.theworldexchange.net/ This one is pretty raw & minimalist: https://jatchili.github.io/minimalist-ripple-client/ Option 2) - Use GateHub (requires identity verification) Register at https://gatehub.net Navigate to Wallets and click + (Add New) and import your Ripple secret key. Note: For more advanced users the the wallet could be generated on an offline or airgapped computer by copying the webpage code and transferring it by means of a memory device. Note: For added security be sure to clear your web browsers cache, have a machine free of viruses and take other general precautions.

PunishmentOfLuxury Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 It may be worth adding that (I think I'm right in saying) the wallet could be generated on an offline or airgapped computer by copying the webpage code and transferring it to such by means of a USB stick or whatever.

gena667 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Tried Ripply App today. Had some major problems with withdrawing. Basically the app couldnt handle withdrawels over 1000xrp. I would always get error-messages when trying. So... i signed up to Gatehub an there it works very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
