It's a step-by-step thing. People learn to operate washing machines, even if it takes 100% of their brain.

How does a L2 help when he wants to deploy a smart contract on mainnet

He also stated that I need to buy 10% of the value of the deposited eth, and add to the wallet.

Scam. How can you people fall for this?

Where do people like OP get so much money from?

To be fair, most of the time these are people who can't even articulate what happened. They'd lose money in fiat, too.

Never had one, but paper wallets usually have a QR-Code to scan if you want to send transactions. I don't like the idea of a paper wallet. Paper just doesn't like water and fire, too many possible points of failure. Generating the wallet could compromise your key too.

You can turn an old phone into a cold wallet with AirGap Vault for android or iOS. For Bitcoin, Electrum can be used on an offline Computer. Hardware wallets are the easiest solution and they're around 70 bucks I believe

Most important thing is to create a new wallet and not to use an old wallet that was a hot wallet before

Didn't hear about it yet, thanks. Will look into it

Hot wallets are imho not secure enough for your investment. There can always be hacks or exploits, malware on your computer and so on. Also, some say that keys generated by wallets may not be 100% secure either, because the randomness comes from software.

I would stick with a hardware wallet (or cold wallet) so that your private key is never on an online device. For the paranoid (like me), I'd suggest rolling the dice to generate keys.

Nah, I'm using Ethereum and Bitcoin. Don't have privacy anyway

Are you sure the address you're seeing in the explorer is the same as the address of your wallet? And maybe you're seeing wrapped ETH on Polygon or something like that?

I think I'd need the address

Don't know much about MEW, but you can check Metamask too by using your seed phrase.

That's great actually. It's so stupid to read "gwei" all the time and having to do the mental gymnastics to find out how much a transaction will cost in fucking USD or ETH.
