How to set up an ERC-20 wallet to own FLP outside of Gameflip

1. Disclaimer

We offer the following instructions only as helpful guidance on one ERC-20 wallet option. The users should do their own research and not rely solely on the material we are presenting. We make no representations or warranties that the following material is complete or accurate, or that MyEtherWallet (or any associated software or services) will be reliable or function as described. As such, users assume all risks associated with the use of MyEtherWallet (or any other ERC-20 wallet).

2. What You Will Need

To transact FLP outside of Gameflip, you will need to prepare the following:

1. Your personal ERC-20 compatible Ethereum wallet.  You must send and receive FLP from your personal Ethereum wallet that supports ERC-20 tokens in order to receive FLP, NOT directly from exchanges such as Coinbase, Kraken.
2. Available Ethereum funds for gas fees on Ethereum network (only when depositing to Gameflip or transacting. Gas fees from withdraws are paid by Gameflip).

For the Ethereum wallet, you can use MyEtherWallet (also  known as MEW), Metamask, Parity, Mist, or imToken for mobile.  The more popular wallet options are Metamask with a convenient browser plugin and MEW.  The instruction below will be for using MEW.

3. Create a New MEW Account

If you already have an existing MyEtherWallet account, please skip this section and go directly to section "4. Using Existing MEW Account".

Step 1: Go to https://www.myetherwallet.com

Go to the MyEtherWallet website at https://www.myetherwallet.com. If you’re using Chrome or Firefox, you should see a green lock in the address bar displaying MYETHERWALLET LLC (US) identity.

Step 2: Go to the “New Wallet” Tab

 

Step 3: Create a Strong Password

Create a password that will be used to access your wallet:

• Create a strong password that contains upper and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols (i.e., “#”, “@”, etc.).  
• Keep your password safe. Losing this password will result in losing all of your ETH and FLIP stored in your account.  We recommend using a password manager such as KeePass or a similarly trusted application to help you securely manage your passwords.
• Click on the “Create New Wallet” button.

Step 4: Save Your Keystore File

Download and save the Keystore file.  This file contains your private and public keys and is required every time you want to access your account. Please note that you won’t be able to access your account without this file and the password from the previous step. Losing either one of them would result in losing all ETH and FLIP stored in your account.

Step 5 (Optional): Backup Your Private Key

If you would like to make this account accessible by other Ethereum wallets, you can export and backup your private key. You must securely store your private key and should never share it with anyone.  Whoever can obtain your private key will have access to all of your ETH and FLIP.

4. Using Existing MEW Account

Step 1: Go to https://www.myetherwallet.com and to the “View Wallet Info” Tab

Go to the MyEtherWallet website at https://www.myetherwallet.com. If you’re using Chrome or Firefox, you should see a green lock in the address bar displaying MYETHERWALLET LLC (US) identity.

Step 2: Unlock Your Wallet to Get the Public Address

Select the “Keystore File (UTC / JSON)” and the Keystore file or any alternative method you wish to connect.  For this guide, we’ll be using the “Keystore File (UTC / JSON)” method.

Input your password and click on the “Unlock” button to unlock it:

Step 3: Obtain and Save the Public Address

You should see your Ethereum public address under the “Your Address” label or the “Account Address” section.  You will need to provide this public address for the FLIP token sale event.

 

After following all steps and setting up your ERC-20 wallet, you should be able to receive FLP on your ERC-20 wallet now. In order to send FLP, you will need to add ETH to pay for gas fees.
