What I am understanding is - you sent EOS to your MEW from Kraken. You thought you do not have enough gas in your MEW so you sent 50$ worth of ETH to your MEW. Is that correct?
So I send about 50 bucks worth of ETH to MEW,
Why do you need ETH is your MEW. What I understand is you are trying to withdraw your EOS to your My Ether Wallet. Right?
The receiver wallet do not need any ETH to cover the gas cost.
Now I'm all confused about this whole gas thing, I'm trying to learn about it but it honestly is going over my head.
To understand gas ans stuff. consider exploring this:
