3. Congratulations! Your wallet has been created. Click Download Keystore File and save the file in a secure place.

Important: keep your password and the copy of the Keystore files in different places. In case they are lost, or if your PC crashes, or other situations.

4. Now log in to your wallet to find out its address. Choose the View Wallet Info tab from menu at the top.

  • Select Keystore / JSON File (1)
  • Specify the path to the Keystore file (2)
  • Enter the password you made up at the beginning of the registration (3)
  • Click Unlock (4)

Please note that we recommend using Metamask plugin for Google Chrome to secure your transactions. Here you can find instructions how to switch to Metamask.

6. The wallet address appears in the Wallet Info block in the Your Address field.

3. To get the number of your Bitcoin wallet, click Request

4. In the window that will appear, you will see your Bitcoin wallet number.



2. Buying cryptocurrency

2.1. Buying Ethereum with debit/credit cards or bank transfer — recommended

One of the most convenient ways to buy cryptocurrency is the cryptocurrency exchange. Below we provide instructions on how to set up an account and buy Ethereum on the most popular exchange Coinbase.

1. Go to this link and fill out your name (make sure this is exactly how it's written on your photo ID), email, password and location

2. To verify your account you must (1) supply a phone number, (2) upload an image of your photo ID and (3) verify a credit/debit card or bank account before you can buy. Verification process is described in detail here.

Using a credit/debit card means higher fees but offers instant purchasing. Using a bank transfer is cheaper but slower (taking up to a week to get your coins).

Please note that Bank of America, Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase, Lloyds Bank, Bank of Scotland, Halifax and MBNA have banned customers from buying cryptocurrency with the credit card. We recommend to use debit cards for purchases, or chose other banks.

3. Once your payment details are verified, click buy/sell on the top menu. Select "Ethereum", and at the bottom of the page choose how much to spend in your local currency / how many coins you want to buy.

Once you're happy with the amount, click the big Buy button.

4. You'll be asked to confirm your purchase. Press the Confirm Buy button.

Congratulations! You now own some Ethereum.

5. Click Accounts from the top menu, then find your Ethereum wallet listed on the left. Click Send.

6. Fill in the fields:

  • In the "Recipient" box, paste your personal wallet address we saved earlier (1)
  • In amount, type how much Ethereum you wish to send (2)
  • Click Continue (3)

Coinbase may ask you to confirm with your password/phone. Follow the instructions until it confirms the Ethereum are sent.

7. After a few minutes you should now see the Ethereum in your wallet at MyEtherWallet (you may have to refresh the page and log into your wallet again using your keystore file and password or private key).

Note that the amount may be slightly less than what you were told you were getting as exchanges deduct a small amount of coin to pay for the transfer.

One of the most convenient ways to buy cryptocurrency is the cryptocurrency exchange. Below we provide instructions on how to set up an account and buy Bitcoin on the most popular exchange Coinbase.
