XRP Desktop Wallet

[TMJJS]

That's what I wrote down in 2018 (Subject line) as the place I stored my XRP.  Now I don't know how to get to "XRP Desktop Wallet".  It seems there are multiple XRP desktop wallets today.  How many were around in 2018?  Was there a dominant one that I probably used?  Is there a web address?

Reading through other posts, it seems that haveing the secret key starting with a "s" is important.  I do still have that written down!  I hope that helps and gives me a chance of getting my XRP.  Can I transfer the XRP to Coinbase or another exchange directly?  Do I have to transfer to another wallet?

Thanks in advance  for any help!

I'm releasing a desktop wallet within a few days, ihilda. It supports both word lists and secret seed.

What you have is a secret seed beginning with 's' and is the standard XRP format. If you have mobile xumm is good. Desktop browser ripplerm

If you have that long string that starts with an s, you're golden - that's your secret key, don't share it with anyone. You'll always have access to your wallet. If you just want to access your XRP, the XUMM wallet is probably the most recommended wallet app today, but other people may have other recommendations. If you're more concerned about long term storage, you can look into other options one you've made sure you've got access to your funds.

As far as exchanges go, once you have access to your wallet you can send your XRP anywhere you want. If you're an American, it's going to be very hard to find someplace to trade XRP because Ripple is currently being sued by the SEC and most US exchanges have stopped trading it.

When you get things figured out, there's a new ledger launching called Flare. They're giving XRP holders an equal amount of FLR to their XRP holdings, you just have to claim it by June 11th you can find out more here:

ihilda now supports

master seed: starting with s

master private key starting with p
master private key: as hex

regular key seed: starting with s

or 

word lists from which you can derive private keys starting with s. release candidate being tested now.

Is there a resource (video, directions) to explain the process of how I use my master seed to get the XRP to another exchange?
