RE: Crypto Academy Week 3 Homework Post for @sapwood: Important Points About Exchange Wallets (Coinbase Wallet)

in SteemitCryptoAcademy4 years ago

Thank you for attending the lecture in Steemit-Crypto-Academy & doing the homework task-3.

Always pay attention to the sub-parts/questions of a Task, and comply accordingly. I would request you to cover all the parts/sub-parts and always comply as per the task's requirement.

Homework Task-3
(1) Have you ever used a Hardware/software wallet? Which one is having a better security advantage?
(2) What are the important points to consider when you deal with an Exchange(centralized) Wallet & Decentralized wallet. How do you secure/restore both types?
(3) Give an example of a Web 3.0 wallet and what are the distinct uses of a web 3.0 wallet? Have you ever used any Web 3.0 crypto Wallet? Examples?

Important Points About Exchange Wallets (Coinbase Wallet)

Coinbase wallet is a cryptocurrency wallet, not a personal wallet, as such it is centralized. That is to say that users don’t have the private keys of the cryptocurrencies stored in the wallet.

See, Coinbase.com is an exchange and hence the storage of the cryptos there is custodial. However, there is also a Coinbase Wallet which is a non-custodial decentralized wallet.

The different between the two has already been explained in the lecture post.

So if you are talking about the Coinbase Wallet app then it is a non-custodial wallet.

Further, "how to back up a wallet" has been covered in Homework Task-2, this task(Homework Task-3) is central to your web 3.0 experience, the difference between Exchange wallet and non-custodial wallet, etc.

After going through the screenshot, I found that the username of your Coinbase wallet is @greatness96. I think we already have another user @greatness96 in Steemit. So is it your own screenshot? Or is it an alternate account? Or is it a coincidence?

Thank you.

Thank you. I used my neighbor's phone, @greatness96 and wallet for the homework because I don't have an android phone yet.

Thank you for the clarification. I must say, I'm still a novice in crypto. I hope you will take me as your freshman in class.

Thank you, Prof.
