Destination Tag of Ripple Desktop Wallet

[AniketBhadane]

I want to withdraw some xrp from an exchange and deposit to my Ripple desktop wallet. I know the address to deposit, but what is the destination tag? The exchange does not let the destination tag to be empty? What should I enter in this field?

I don't know of any exchange that requires a destination tag when you're not sending to an account that requires one. But you can use any destination tag if you're sending to a native wallet. 1 is perfectly fine.

leave the destination tag empty if your wallet doesn't have a destination tag. the only exchange that i've used that requires a destination tag is bitstamp.

From memory I think Bitstamp have a checkbox to allow you to say 'dest tag not required'.

As Joel said, there's no harm sending a destination tag when one isn't required.  It's like attaching a memo to a bank wire.  It's up to the recipient what they do with the memo, which is basically you just choosing to ignore it.
