You can connect to Songbird!

Instructions are in the link in that tweet. I was able to connect using my MetaMask wallet and see my SGB balance. Unfortunately I think that's all we can do for now - I think the next step is to wait for data providers to get up and running so we can delegate our votes.

Thanks for the good news, brian san.

BTW: Have you noted any supporting means or method to use MetaMask to perform the delegation operation ?

Cheers.

I haven't yet. I think once a data provider announces it, you'll be able to connect the wallet to their site the same way you would with other DeFi apps and do it that way.

I believe there will be dApps supported by some FTSOs to be able to delegate. I don't believe you absolutely must use Ledger/DCent/Bi-frost.

The explorer is pretty good, and came a long way since I last used it with the Flare Finance Alpha - https://songbird-explorer.flare.network

I didn’t see a search field like may explorers have to find any type of object, Tran, account etc.

Maybe I’m blind?  Or maybe not there yet?

Yes, it's there in upper right - just c/p your 0x*** addy and hit enter. 
I see my own balance

Thanks.   Now that you motivated me I tried switching to portrait view and then after dropping down menu it’s the last item.  Only way to access it via mobile as far as I can see.  Tried safari and chrome.

I sent my first transaction! I've been holding some XRP for various family members so I created a wallet and sent them their share of the airdrop.

Me too I sent some SGB to my brother. Took all of about 3 seconds to send.

So I have a MEW Eth account that was set up previously for the airdrop etc etc, that’s all good. I also have my Metamask wallet. But to import my MEW address I need the private key which isn’t generated through the app so I can’t import it into Metamask. I am doing this through the apps on my phone. 
Am I right in thinking I need to do it via a pc to enable the option as I need a browser extension for Metamask to be able to import the MEW Eth account?

Yes I think so. I don't use metamask on my phone often so I'm not sure of the capabilities, but it makes sense that the browser extension can do a lot more.

Thanks. I’ll have a look tomorrow when I have a bit more time to play around. Was hoping the Bifrost wallet would be available by now, but no drama. I guess I can do the same in Metamask right? I’m not loosing any functionality between them?

MetaMask is a little weird. You only get a secret key for wallets that it generates. If you want to import a new wallet from the recovery phrase, you need to first make sure you have the recovery phrase for your current wallet so you can get it back, then reset Metamask so you're starting over fresh, then you can import your Songbird wallet using its recovery phrase.

And right now you're not missing anything. The only thing that works at the moment is sending and receiving birds. And you can't even do that unless it's with someone you trust because the network could reset until September 27th.
