importing from paper wallet

[xrrrp]

hi all.

i have some xrp in paper wallet and i want to transter them directly to an exchange site.

is there a website where i can import  my paper wallet and its also an exchange site ?

i dont want to use another wallet and then send it to a exchage site because i will leave there another 20xrp and 40xrp total.

i heard gatehub is a good solution.is it an exchange site also ? 

is there alternative to gatehub where i can import from paper wallet with the same address and use market exchage services ? thank you in advance

Hello. If you are confident enough, you could do it yourself in an offline environment using Bithomp Tools https://github.com/Bithomp/bithomp-tools

Or you can import your wallet into the XUMM app and send from there. As you are importing, it does not create another wallet at a cost of 20xrp.

If Gatehub allows you too import wallet, go for it. Not familiar with it myself, but it is a popular option.

I think Gatehub does allow you import your own wallet. They're a reputable company. I don't know how great their trading volume is.

They do. How reputable they are.... Please remind how they handled their hack a year ago, so be aware of the risks. Trading volume is depending on the XRP ledger, and quite low compared to big exchanges.

Sending your XRP from your wallet to other exchanges does not require a new wallet. The exchanges use a Destination Tag to credit the XRP to your account. Remember, keeping crypto on exchanges also has risks. If the exchange get hacked, you might loose all your precious XRP...

i think i am gonna pass on gatehub with all of thier proof of residence and all the forms.so annoying.

i will not keep it in the exchange.

i just need a solution to get my xrp to an exchange website,from there i will trade and send those to a diffrent  paper wallet.

how can i get it on bittrex or some other exchange and lose only 20xrp ?

you said i dont need a new wallet on other exchanges.how do i do that ? do you have a guide or youtube video ? 

thanks alot

Well, if you want a desktop tool, probably the bithomp tools are best for you. You have to create a payment transaction from your address to the exchange address and don't forget to include your Destination Tag. Not 100% sure, but you probably can make a delete wallet transaction, so the wallet is inactivated form the XRPL, and the last XRP are send to the exchgange

If you only want to make 1 transaction, I don't think there is much of a security risk. If you are ok with phone apps, try the Xumm wallet

i heard about this bithomp but i am scared to do a mistake and lose the coins.its not user friendly.

at the xumm wallet i can use the old address ? does it have exchange service also ?

do i have to write destination tag at the xumm app also ?

does xumm has exchange service ? can i trade it to bitcoin ? or usd that i can send to exchange site ?

or i only can transfer xrp to another account (like xrp address in an exchange site)and activated this address as well and lose 20 xrp ?

i downloaded the xumm app but i dont see trading options..so i will must make another address ?thanks

You should be able to import your current address into the Xumm app. Trading is possible, but limited to the XRPL. With Xumm, you can also tansfer to any other exchange. Check their website for more info

When you transfer to an exchange, you do not activate a new XRP address on the exchange. You send the XRP to the same XRP address as everyone else on the exchange, and the destination tag helps the exchange assign your XRP to your account. Because of this, you do not lose 20 XRP on the exchange. You only lose the 20 XRP left behind in the wallet that you send from.

This doesn't work with at least some exchanges, because the delete transaction is different to a payment transaction and the exchanges' systems don't recognise it.

ohh ok now i understand.this was the peace i was missing.thank you.

and last question,this is the app right ?

xrpl labs ou.thats the one ? beacuse this app can easily be copycated with malicious intentions.thats one of the reasons i am scared of mobile apps and the second is that i lost some coins(not xrp) in a malicious mobile app after i read people recommand it .to me 99% of them are malicious.just want to make sure i dont do the same mistake again.thanks

I believe so, it's the same one I have, although I've never actually used it.

I followed the links from Wietse's Twitter (the developer) and ended up at the same app so I think it's the right one.

Still, don't trust me, make sure you trust it before you download.

I searched around for this method for hours as I only use offline wallets to sign online transactions and this tool worked perfectly signing a message key change with a flare / eth address directly from my offline laptop.

 

Thanks for the help.
