I have waves in my waves lite client.  I never downloaded the waves desktop client.  I leased my waves as well.



Can someone tell me what is the official waves site to download the desktop client?  Also when i do this, i need to type in my 12 word seed?  Or is this not necessary because i already have the waves lite client installed on my computer?



I also read that there is an airdrop for waves holders that was posted in another thread



https://blog.wavesplatform.com/vostok-token-airdrop-to-be-extended-1981fd5520aa



From what i see, this is legit.  So this has nothing to do with leasing right?  Have you or anyone here has done this?


I need to use the desktop client to do this right or can i with the lite client?  I never upgraded.

Okay i downloaded the waves desktop client.  But when it ask me to import accounts,


I chosed waves lite client and then it says no accounts found


We were unable to retrieve your accounts.  Please restore them by using their backup seeds. 


And to click I understand




Is there a reason i got this message?  Do i need waves lite client opened before i click i understand?



So i have to put in my 12 word seed then?

Can someone tell me how to use the desktop waves client account?  Why can i not import the way im doing it?  Do i need the lite waves client to be opened to do this i assume?

I opened waves lite client and then opened the waves desktop client and pressed importing from the waves client and it does not work.


Is that because my old waves client is very old?



Can anyone here confirm you can no longer import account?  So the only way to use the desktop client is import account from the backup seed?  The option to import accounts from the waves client does not work...

Bump can someone tell me how to use the desktop client and how to restore it?  I am using the lite client now and downloaded the desktop client.  But i cannot restore it using the lite client and have to enter my waves seed into it?

Okay so type in my 15 word seed from waves.  Is everyone else 15 words or some ppl have 12?


Then i look and that waves address below should my waves address correct?


Then it ask you to put name for account and password.  I see it says enter a new password.  So choose a completely different password and do not use the same old waves password with lite waves client?


Then check all those 3 boxes?




So you cannot import from the waves client to the desktop?

Can someone who went from lite waves client to desktop client tell me when you do this, do you use the same password for the lite waves client or you created a new one?  On the instructions, it says put a password but on the picture, it says to put a new password.  So if you use a new password, you log into your waves desktop client this way.  But what if you were to later log into the lite waves client?  Do you use the old password or the new one?  Or is the new password you use going to be the same for the desktop client and the lite client?

To reach wallet 12 seed words are absolute. You should visit official site for desktop wallet. Indeed, since I have been using a desktop wallet for a long time, I can not give any exact information about the password. But you may need to re-create password.

If you are having issues concerning the waves dex platform site
Just go to google play store or ios Apple store

And get the waves platform app
Then you log in with your seed

My seed is 15 words.  After i type it in, when it ask for a password, do i use a new one or use the old waves lite client?


If i use a new one, that means i log into my desktop waves client with the new password but what about the old lite client?  Would that be new password as well?

I don't really understand how the waves platform works and it's very bad for business, because the backbone of a business is creating a user friendly platform that everyone can understand, and this is the mistake most blockchain company makes by focusing on just creating the project and not focusing on creating a user friendly platform, this is also the reason why steemit is losing lots of users because their platform is not user friendly.

Hey all.  I downloaded the waves desktop wallet.


I want to get the vostok token airdrop. I asked this in another thread and it seems like its safe downloading the waves keeper wallet right?  There are two ways to get the airdrop... either downloading waves keeper or sending tiny amount of waves for airdrop.  Is it safer sending small amount of waves instead of downloading something unnecessary?


Also to those who got the 1st airdrop, can others tell me what they got from it?  Example you had 500 waves.  You got so and so and this was worth around x much usd?

You should always make sure you download a good wallet and scan it for viruses, also you should ask on their topic if they had one what steps are need so you can get the airdrop. But if they ask to send waves to get tokens means you will pay and that means is not an airdrop.

Well its from the actual waves official site.  So isn't that pretty much legit?


There are 2 step.  One is download waves keeper and verify it.  Other is sending tiny bit of waves like 0.001 to get the airdrop...

If is from official site and you check is the real official site then is ok. If waves keeper is from official site then use it and you should be ok and get airdrop.

I think downloading a desktop wallet is not necessary because for what the waves holders are struggling to do while on the platform they always take advantage of blockchain snapshots and I'm sure the waves will definitely do the same so just wait until the results of the snapshot are recorded and wait for the airdrop distribution

Holding and leasing waves since Ico in 2016, I have "registered" for Vostok Airdrop 2 by sending 0.001 waves to a certain address.

All info => https://vostok.wavesplatform.com/

Hi there.  Is the reason yu sent 0.001 waves to a certain address as oppose to downloading the waves keeper for security purposes?  Thus you don't want to download anymore programs that might be security risk?

Hi jerry0 how are you, "oppose to downloading the waves keeper for security purposes" not at all, I was away and with not much time. Waves keeper is much like metamask, scatter etc. No problem I do trust waves about security.

Still a good question. I'm not an expert in security.
 
Will I install and use waves keeper? Yes i will, you?
 

Hi there.  Well i thought you didn't download it because of security issue.


Well i want to get the airdrop but not sure if i want to install waves keeper or not.  Seems much more simpler to just send the 0.001 waves to that waves address right?

yes it is as it already installed.
Im sure somehow waves team will find a way to have us installed it :)
Great to have you on board for Vostok project.

Okay.  Can others confirm here that the waves keeper is safe? 


When i download it, it requires me to copy and paste my 12 or 15 word waves phrase right similar to like when i downloaded the waves desktop wallet?  Then once i do this, it would ask me to put in a new password?  So i put this in.


But what if i want to use the waves desktop wallet mostly?  So basically if i want to use waves keeper, whenever i turn on my laptop, i still need to log into it with the new password?  Or its already there?  Because if its already there and does not require a password, isn't that not secure?


I want to mainly use the waves desktop wallet.  But i also want to get the airdrop.


Thanks.

When i click on add waves keeper i get message


Add Waves Keeper?


It can:


Read and change all your data on the websites you visit

Display notifications

Modify data you copy and paste




This doesn't seem that secure?

so you can use the waves desktop wallet, and you dont get these features as it is an independent client that you use without any browser.

Do you use waves keeper?

Not just security. For second airdrop I sent the nominal Tx because it was more convenient.

Also the other way to verify using WavesKeeper doesn't support ledger nano - so they should verify with Tx as well.

As for the amount - about 1/3 Vostok for every Wave and/or WCT and for the second drop, about a tenth I think.

I predict that Vostok will become at least a top 10 blockchain soon after release - it's everything Ripple XRP should have been but with many more advantages and few of the downsides.

Hi there.  When you say not for security, you mean with the waves keeper software?  Or you mean related to it or anything involving it?  Such as more wallets you download more vulnerable you are?


So you recommend not downloading waves keeper right if i want the airdrop and just send the tiny amount of waves instead?  I was hesitant when i saw that message that i posted in bold before i was about to download it.

No kidding me Jerry0 you stilll have not decide which way to go for the vostok airdrop, still thinking rite?
Well the Vostok AD ends on the 31st of may, just saying.

Hi.  I still have not done it yet.  Not sure if downloading the waves keeper or just sending some waves to that address.


But as long as you send it before that date, its fine right?  Thus the same no matter what whether you do it earlier or closer to the date?

Yes i think so, you must "register" the account where you are holding your wct or waves before the 31st of may, yes you are fine.

Okay i sent the tiny amount of waves to that address.


So does anyone know how much vostok you get for this airdrop?


Example say you have


1000 waves
30 waves community tokens




Also can someone tell me what they got specifically for the 1st airdrop?  I did not get any because i was not aware of the 1st airdrop.  Someone said you get vostok about 1/3 your average waves balance?  So someone with 1000 waves would get about 333 vostok?  What about waves community tokens?


So the only coin you get for the 1st and 2nd airdrop is vostok token?  Can someone tell me how much a vostok token is worth?  Or that is not out yet?
