RE: My Bitcoin Challenge - How I'm Going To Fill My Wallet
I wish I knew how to open a wallet successfully.
I tried to install electrum wallet, but failed during the 12+ words stage.
Jaxx was being hacked recently: https://cointelegraph.com/news/jaxx-wallet-vulnerability-users-report-400k-funds-thefts
I totally understand. My first attempt left me scratching my head. When I opened an account with Independent Reserve (see link in article - or look on google for other suppliers), they assigned me a bitcoin wallet address (which is not a wallet per se), but it's enough to enable me to now go and trade my bitcoin on an exchange.
Then I went to an exchange on bitshares.org and downloaded the exchange software. This takes you through a wallet setup (choose wallet, not account), which I can now use to take my bitcoin and buy bitshares, ethereum or whatever.
Just keep trying, you'll get there in the end. Try the above and see how you go.
