MetaMask / Re: Why is metamask better than mew?
« on: May 18, 2018, 10:38:39 PM »MetaMask is more than just an Ether wallet. It's an Ethereum Browser, like Mist! It allows you all the same functions, features and ease of access from regular Ethereum Wallets, and it allows you to interact with Dapps and Smart Contracts, and all without the need to download the blockchain or install any software, you can just install it as a Google Chrome Extension! Plus, it has a cool fox logo that follows your mouse around, which made us smile. So, let's get started with MetaMask!
Part 1 - Installing MetaMask
Step 1: get the MetaMask plugin first at chrome webstore
Step 2: Click "Add to Chrome" to Install MetaMask as Google Chrome extension.
Step 3: Click "Add Extension" to confirm and MetaMask will be added
Part 2 - Creating a new wallet
Step 1: Click the MetaMask logo
Step 2: Read and agree to the MetaMask terms and Conditions
Step 3: Click "Create a new vault"
Step 4: Enter a strong password and click "OK"
Step 5: Metamask will now show you your seed. It is very important that you copy and store those 12 worlds, without them you cannot restore your wallet.
Part 3 - Changing to the Mainnet & Funding your account
Step 1: Click "Modern Testnet"
Step 2: Choose "Main Ethereum Network"
Step 3: MetaMask will now ask you for the password. Type it in and click "Unlock"
Step 4: Click the copy logo to get your wallet address. Then all you have to do send Ether to it from your favorite exchange or wallet.
Part 5 - Sending Ether
Step 1: Click "Send"
Step 2: Enter the wallet address to where you want to send Ether to (1), Enter the amount of Ether you want to send (2) and click "Send" (3)
Step 3: Confim the transaction data and click "Accept"
And that's it! You can now send and recieve Ether on your MetaMask wallet. Furthermore, you'll also be able to visit Ethereum
