Transferring ETH from an Exchange to a wallet
The following are steps to transfer ETH from Coinbase to MyEtherWallet.
Step 1:
Sign-in to your Coinbase Account.
Step 2:
Select “Send/Request” and enter the desired amount to be transferred to your Wallet.
Take note of the network fee, a surcharge calculated as a percentage of the sum transferred.
This sum will be reflected at the end of the transaction.
Step 3:
Enter the verification code sent to your mobile via SMS and click “Confirm”
You will be redirected to a confirmation page with the amount transferred.
Step 4 (Optional):
To check, go to MyEther Wallet and enter your address details.
There should now be an increase in the balance corresponding to the amount transferred earlier (less network fee).
You now have ETH in your own MyEtherWallet! Please remember to keep your keystore file, private key, and recovery phrase in a secure location and never share them with anybody. Before you are able to send ETH to the Token Sale address, you will need to complete your registration. The steps to do so is covered in the following article — Step 5: Token Sale Registration.
