Sending coins to Myetherwallet and making them secure

[555i]

Hello i have few problems. I am not familiar with this but i would like to buy BTC from Coinbase then i transfer them into Binance. Then i would like to buy with BTC / TRX. OK lets say i have now TRX in Binance. I would like to secure my TRX coins, i have found out that right place to use is Myetherwallet(correct me if i am wrong anywhere), so now i made myetherwallet new wallet, i have address and private key and i am on  on site what is called  etherscan.io/myaddress so now if i want to secure my TRX or other coins how can i transfer and secure my TRX coins?
It would be awesome if there is some desktop program where you can stash safely TRX ETH BTC and other coins. Is there ?
I know about ledger sticks and this but not availabe in my country.
Thanks for help!

TRX is an Ethereum token. You will need a wallet that supports ethereum tokens (ERC20 Tokens).

There's a guide about using MEW with certain tokens that are both listed and unlisted here, https://blog.wetrust.io/using-myetherwallet-mew-to-send-erc-20-tokens-like-trustcoins-trst-a946cd9873af


As for desktop wallets, i think ethereum's standard mist wallet should do the job pretty well? Simply download it from here, https://www.ethereum.org/

(If you're looking for a wallet that supports multiple currencies, i guess you could use something like Exodus, but i'm not sure if they allow the use of ERC20 tokens..)

To secure your MyEtherWallet, you just have to keep your PRIVATE KEY safe and sound. Meaning you are the only one who can accessed it and don't give it out to anyone. Remember that only access your MyEtherWallet at their official website which is: https://www.myetherwallet.com/ and bookmarked it to avoid phishing.

The bottom line is, it's your responsible to make it safe.

To make a transfer of your TRX from Binance to your MyEtherWallet, just head to the Withdrawal page, select TRX and then there's a field that I will assumed you already know what to do, that's it.

Take note: Please take note carefully at the Binance withdrawal fee and see if it's still reasonable for you to withdraw your TRX from there.

About hardware wallets, even it's not available in your country, there are ways how to get it and I will include that later on after you response. It's much more "secure" if you will learn how that works.

Thanks for answers. What would be better exchange  with lower fees? Made yesterday coinbase deposit and their fee is too high too. Any better places?

And etherscan.io ? What is then this if original wallet is at myetherwallet.com

I'm not sure, where are you from? You could maybe use something like Bitstamp.net, but i'm not sure if they're cheaper then you, https://www.bitstamp.net/fee_schedule/

Etherscan is a blockchain explorer like blockchain.info, but for ethereum instead of bitcoin. I don't think they provide wallet services.

Another exchange that accepts fiat is LiteBit.eu, even tho they are more like a middle exchange (they have a certain supply that they can sell) which means their prices are a bit higher.
I've personally used it myself because they accept Bancontact (direct payment using a debit card), so whenever I wanted to buy something quickly i'd use litebit to buy ETH/or LTC and let it deposit on the exchange I want to trade it for my altcoin.
But like i said, even tho it is easy to use you should defenitly check the current price on Litebit and compare it with any other exchange (like gdax) and see if it's worth it to you.

As for wallets, MEW is indeed a good wallet (been using it myself for some time now).
I use it in combination with MetaMask (chrome extension).
This link shows how to link your MEW to your MetaMask: https://blog.bancor.network/connecting-myetherwallet-to-metamask-e7f3f28fddc8

You can also just go on the MEW website and go to the Send Ether & Tokens tab (https://www.myetherwallet.com/#send-transaction).
Once you clicked on that link, you'll need to login into your account. You have several options, choose the one that fits you and login. Then you'll have the ability to send your tokens.
(in the worst case when you have no other option, chose the private key option and paste your private key in the box and click on unlock)
