Hello, i'm kinda new on Crypto.
I've  seen that there are some altcoins that can be send via the same Ethereum address.
Can someone explain me how can i see my altcoins on my ethereum wallet?
I tried adding my coionbase ethereum address on https://etherscan.io/ but i don't see nothing.
I have 0.01 ETH on my coinbase adress that i got few weeks ago from another coinbase eth wallet transaction?

Can anyone explain me how can other alctoins can be send to my eth wallet? And where do i check what altcoins i have on my eth adress?

Thanks.

You need an ethereum address that supports erc20 tokens. You cannot use the coinbase address because you do not hold the private key of that address. If a token is sent to that address, it will go to coinbase, not you. Most people here use myetherwallet address because it supports all erc20 tokens.

Thank you for the info.

First you need to see if there is support for these altcoys of the erc20 system, this is an etherium system, if there is support, then you can safely send altcoyins and tokens to your etherium address.
Do you have a purse in My Ether Wallet? This is the main purse of the etherium, send all the ethereum there.

Thank you too.
Guys, one more question, do i need to deposite some ETH on Myetherwallet before reciving any other altcoins?
Or after getting my eth adress on myetherwallet i'm good to recive any other erc20 altcoins?
Thanks
