Is there any online wallet to move coins to? actually, just went to the site and found all I need.... think I will just use a paper wallet for now
Glad you were able to find what you needed.
For those still wondering,
BTCPop.co is the only online wallet for Sterlingcoin at this time. Be reminded that leaving any coin at an exchange implies a greater degree of risk. The safest way to store any cryptocurrency is in a wallet you alone control and can define the security and backups of. This does include a
Sterlingcoin paper wallet, though you will not be rewarded %5.5 annual network rewards for helping to process transactions and securing the blockchain. BTCPop.io does have group staking to earn the %5.5, but does charge fees. The absolute best place to store your Sterlingcoin, in regards to your own safety, security, and aiding the network, is in a Sterlingcoin wallet client staking on your own equipment.
Thank you to all who are able to and do stake their Sterlingcoin in their own wallet, as it does help the network. If you cannot, BTCPop and a paper wallet are your remaining current options to remove your Sterlingcoin from Cryptopia before the November 9th delisting.
EDIT (minutes later): Yes, group staking at BTCPop does aid the network. But greater risks do remain as do the fees.
For many users, coldwallets on exchanges are still preferable.
>>> Rule #1 In Cryptocurrency <<<
is that you NEVER keep your funds on an exchange or use it as a "wallet" or holding place.
It is a dis-service to spread such information. New crypto users need to know and old crypto users ALREADY know.
This is NOT banking. People are used to "banking."
(Because banks have marketed effectively saying "let us hold your money for you! don't do it yourself, we can do it better!")
This is entirely different. This is the world of cryptocurrency.
If you do not have the private keys (or recovery phrase) to your OWN personal wallet
THE FUNDS ARE NOT YOUR OWN.
If the exchange gets hacked, shut down, confiscated, infected with malware or a virus, theft from an inside job, theft from an outside job, theft from regulators or government shutdown, raided or any other kind of thing
your coins are GONE.
Example - with TradeSatoshi this past week they-- for their reasons-- arbitrarily exchanged ETH tokes for NewYorkCoin, effectively erasing EVERYONE's millions and millions of coins, while those who had their coins on other exchanges and in Coinomi and other wallets were SAFE.
NEVER. EVER. EVER. E V E R *leave* your coins on exchange.
NEVER.
Remember This Post.
I will never, ever, ever let someone lose thousands if not millions of dollars because they didn't know that you are never supposed to keep money on exchanges. A few years ago 10,000 BTC was nothing and famously bought two cheese pizzas. Today it's over
$63,000,000.00 USD
This is f____g serious people.
