Just bought in after prevaricating for some time. Planning on just forgetting about them for a few years and setting some aside for my kids.
I figure it’ll either go to zero or be bigger than bitcoin by the time they’re grown up.
However… Bought on Kucoin and they don’t seem happy about sending to a Grin++ wallet. Wouldn’t let me transfer anyway as it said the node was down for maintenance.
My stack is down too for maintenance too so I got Grin++ working on a chromebook. Yeah…
Which wallet would be recommended? On a …ahem… chromebook? The android ones don’t seem to like it and the community command line wallet wouldn’t install. Would rather not leave them on an exchange for obvious reasons…
The command line wallet did not want to install. Since Niffler is basically a GUI for the command line wallet, I guess it will not work on Chromebook.
I would first try Grin++ like you did, if that does not work, try IronBelly. IronBelly does not run the node itself, so no dependency on the command line wallet.
But if I understood you correctly Grin++ worked on your Chromebook, why not just go with that?
I will try to transfer once the Kucoin exchange allows it… Oddly enough Grin++ is a little bit on the slow side running on a VM in a chromebook so will put some effort into Niffler.
The issue is that Kucoin at least says that it won’t transfer to Grin++, though no reason is given. For long term holds I suspect that I should really be looking at hardware wallets anyway.
Which is ridiculous, since all wallets should support the same protocols… yet it is case
Anyhow, quick way around it would be to install and transfer to IronBelly (based on the command line wallet) on you android or iOS phone, then transfer to Grin++ or whichever wallet you have working on your laptop.
Or alternatively, just use a mobile wallet for the moment. At least they keys are in your control.
