How do you load an Electrum wallet?

I use it basically over the smart phone application :

The steps were simple for it to set up:

When I started it for the first time then it prompted me give application New Password. After setting up the password you will have option to create new account, either existing one or from the seed or private key. The I generated my private key from the bitcoinaddress website. Once you put the Private Key in then it will ask you to give the wallet a name. You can create as many wallets as you want in such fashion by just putting different private keys.

You can you android app. It’s pretty simple. Once you open it, everything will fall I place. Initially it requires new password, which is actually that app’s password. You can put your generated privet key after you open the app. It’s pretty basic.

By load I assume you meant how to top up or put Bitcoin in it?

Most people buy Bitcoin from exchanges like Coinbase using real money, then send it to their Electrum wallet via one of its addresses. You could buy from different sources as well, and tell your seller to send it to one of your Electrum addresses if possible/applicable.

If you don't know how to send/receive Bitcoin transactions, it's probably best to consult Google for in-depth guides. It's very easy for Electrum because you have Send and Receive tabs enabled by default. You have to tweak a setting to view your addresses if I'm not mistaken though.

Hello scottgw,

You can find a link to download the Electrum wallet here (https://electrum.org/#home).
A step by step guide on how to install and use this wallet can be found here (https://wemovecoins.com/electrum-tutorial/).

Always remember to keep your wallet up to date and synchronised in order to see your latest coin balance. Even though storing your coins on a Electrum wallet is pretty safe we still recommend you use the wallet in combination with a Ledger wallet for maximum security. A guide on how to use these two wallets together can be found here (https://support.ledgerwallet.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005161925-How-to-use-Electrum-with-your-Nano-S/).

Just to make it clear, ETN a.k.a. Electroneum is cryptocurrency and it have its own ENT wallet but Electrum is a bitcoin wallet.
So ETN ≠ Electrum.
