ftso_au Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I’ve just posted instructions for connecting MetaMask to Songbird on our blog. It won’t work until Songbird is live though. All other info in the original message is correct. https://www.ftso.com.au/how-to-guides/2021/09/07/configuring-metamask-for-songbird-network.html JASCoder, brianwalden and Tull 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianwalden Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 I noticed the RPC URL is different in both examples. So the RPC URL is basically the validator you're sending your transactions to? ftso_au 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babelly Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 this might be a dumb question, but when FLR goes live, would I add the the FLR network to access my tokens the same way as described above to access SGB for MM. I used MetaMask to claim my FLR tokens by setting my message key Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordAMV Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Apparently Coinbase isn't even aware of Songbird...SMFH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t make sense to create a graphic without our own url. From an end user perspective it makes no difference at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things move fast in this space, what was a good choice a year ago may not be now. I used MEW to generate an ether address … then they decided MetaMask was the preferred option.

Unfortunately, if you used an exchange for the snapshot you're stuck trusting that exchange for like 4 years. We've already seen several instances of exchanges who stopped supporting certain jurisdictions since the snapshot. And no one expected a second airdrop based on the original snapshot. There were very few people who saw all of this coming. At the time, if you weren't a whiz at using your XRPL wallet - and most people weren't because there's not a whole lot going on on-ledger - using an exchange seemed like the safer bet. Now, in hindsight, I think it looks riskier. But for better or worse, were all locked into the choice we made on December 12th.

Nothing can be taken for granted in this space, nor foreseen. We could all be out of pocket at any time. BillyOckham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyOckham Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Has anyone definitively said whether the smart contract will distribute to the address in that historical ledger block or will it look up the current memo field? If it does use current that would be better for many because they could change off exchanges. But it’s likely easier and faster to use the single historical block so that’s more likely in my opinion.
