MyEtherWallet - Let's Go!
MyEtherWallet - Let's go!
Now that we know what an ERC-20 token is and have informed us about what the MyEtherWallet does at all , we can go over to the "exciting" part: D
Creating a Wallet
- Choose a secure password and write down!
- Save file, if possible externally
- Write or print a private key
- The wallet is created now
- Note the public key / recipient address
call Wallet
- Enter public key
- View Balance
- See account balance
- See tokens
- Do not panic - not all tokens can be viewed here
etherscan.io and ethplorer.io
To see all ERC 20 tokens you can scan your account at etherscan or ethplorer.io.
For the test, I sent to the above created Wallet 200! ;)
etherscan.io
- Enter and search public key
- See account balance
- Select Dentacoin
- Look token and look happy :-)
Add tokens
- Call account
- Add tokens
- add custom tokens
- Ethplorer.io
- Enter the token name
- Token information
! - Add tokens
!
Sending tokens
Now that we have clarified how to create a wallet and access it, still the last step
!
- Call MEW Submit
- KEY-Store FIle load
- Enter password
! - Enter recipient
- Select tokens
- If the token is not available "Add token"
!
What is gas?
Gas is consumed when sending ETH transactions.
If you do not send an ETH but a different token, you still have to pay the miners with ETH.
- Gas limit
- Gas Price
The total cost of a transaction (the "TX fee") is the gas limit * gas price
One can imagine the ** gas limit ** as the amount of liters for a car.
One can imagine the ** gas price ** as the cost of this liter.
The car costs 1.30 € (price) per liter (unit).
At Ethereum, there are 20 GWEI (price) per gas (unit).
Driving costs, tokens also ship ...
10 liters at 1.30 € = 13 €
21,000 units of gas at 20 GWEI = .00042 ETH.
Therefore, the total TX charge will be 0.00042 ethers.
The sending of tokens typically takes ~ 50,000 gas to ~ 100,000 gas, so the total TX charge increases to .001 ETH - .002 ETH. - How to save costs now at a later time - first let everything on standart
- To German: Who wants to send tokens needs ETH on the account!
Cool! Now we have the long-awaited ME-Wallet :-)
what you can do with it now great in the next post! ....
I just say: "FREE TOKENS": D
Thank you and see you soon!
Thanks on this :)
Youre welcome
