HOW THE FUCK DO I BUY ETHEREUM BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE???

I set up my Kraken account and can directly purchase Eth on there with US dollars, but I can't figure out how to make a wallet and store ETH securely. Anyone know?

>> No.1139687

Did you take even five seconds to Google your problem? You get an official wallet from the Ethereum website.

Thanks m8. And Kraken is secure and everything? I've never bought cryptocurrency before besides bitcoin so I apologize.

>> No.1139713

>>1139689
The transaction itself is secure enough. Just don't actually keep any crypto on it and you'll be fine.

Not OP but I've looked before for real ethereum wallets and no proper application came up until tonight https://github.com/ethereum/mist/releases is this one known to work?

How long did it take you to get tier 3 verification? I fucking missed the last dip to 8 because they's been taking over a week on my shit.

It took 2 or 3 days. I'm not sure, but if you're not American or European it might take longer for you.

You can make a wallet at myetherwallet.com or download mist, the official wallet, but that takes a while to sync

Another samefag shilling OP by making a thread about how to buy ETH

Here's the obligatory reminder ETH is shit.

>> No.1141893

I personally use jaxx.io to store my eth. A lot more user-friendly than any of the other wallets I've seen. A matter of preference I guess.

how fucked am I, boys?

Well, this is kind of a shitty time to buy in. There's been a tiny dip after a very fast rise, so it's still pretty much buying at a peak, and a lot of people are predicting a crash or at least high volatility in the next few days.

Wait for a significant dip before buying in if possible.

Just download the correct zip.
I don't know about the others but with Windows you extract the .zip somewhere safe and execute Ethereum-Wallet.exe
It'll sync for a while (mine had to download around 2.4 GB).
After that's done it's a really simple interface.

This. Buy some eth on ebay then tell paypal you didnt get them. They always will reverse the charges on digital goods. If they dont, do a chargeback through your creditcard. Free eth bitches!

PayPal will block your account for buying ETH, do you think they are stupid and don't know that ETH is same shit that BTC basically? They forbid BTC trades.

Also, it is easy to check if you got your eth, just check etherchain.
