The Second Step; Setting Up A Cardano Wallet:

1.The first step to setting up a cardano wallet is downloading a cryptocurrency wallet that supports Cardano. Whethere it is Daedulus, Yoroi, or even others like Nami , make sure you do your own research and find the one you are most comfortable with storing your funds. You want to feel safe storing your funds somewhere and understanding the differences in each wallet is a great way to put your mind at ease and protect your funds.

  1. After you have downloaded a Cardano wallet application and/or browser extension, create a new wallet and name it however you like. Make sure to write this down somewhere safe where you can always have it stored and able to access in the event you lose access to your wallet.

  1. Once you created the wallet, activate your account and write down your spending password the wallet will prompt you to enter. Make sure to write this down somewhere safe where you can always have it stored and able to access in the event you lose access to your wallet.

  1. It will also prompt a recovery seed phrase in the event you lose access to the wallet. This wallet should be a 12 or 24 word passphrase, and it will prompt you to rewrite the passphrase. Make sure to write this down somewhere safe where you can always have it stored and able to access in the event you lose access to your wallet. Once you have entered the recovery seed phrase, accepts the terms and conditions of the wallet of your choosing and your wallet should be all set!

Always remember, do not share the recovery phrase or spending password of your wallet to anyone. No exchange or wallet will text or email you for your recovery seed phrase and or call you. Do not allow anyone other than trust confidantes such as family for example to have access to your funds or your wallet. Please make sure to take the best amount of precautions by writing your information down on a piece of paper and not sharing it with anyone.

  1. Click the “Recieve” tab of your wallet and copy a wallet address from this section, or you can download PDF File with the QR Code for your wallet. You will need this wallet address and/or QR Code to be able to receive and store cryptocurrency in your wallet.
  2. Click the Send Cryptocurrency prompt in the Crypto Exchange menu and enter your Crypto Wallet Address and/or scan your QR Code , and send your funds from your Crypto Exchange Account to your Cardano Crypto Wallet.
  • Remember to send a small amount of funds from your Crypto Exchange Account to your Crypto Wallet address before sending a majority and/or all your funds to the wallet to ensure no errors or losses are incurred. Sometimes issues do occur with the creation of wallets and it is important to be secure and safe before sending your funds to a wallet, crypto exchange, etc. *

Thank you so much, it is one of my primary objectives to offer clear and concise tutorials and educational guides to all aspects of the Cardano Ecosystem. As I have mentioned many times in my discussions with individuals whom engage with the ecosystem in some capacity, I have constantly found the discussion of the lack of education and concise information Cardano offers to its community. I believe it is a right to learn, not a privilege of those who already grasp the concepts to further their knowledge and become experts in the field.

The Cardano Times aims to provide information for education, because my true belief is that education will lead to the adoption of cryptocurrencies en masse. Many crypto enthusiasts steer clear from cardano because its price is so much smaller compared to ETH and BTC (which obviously is due to the total circulation and volume) because they do not understand Cardano’s superiorities and it is often a much more alienated and less user-friendly experience to engage in the Cardano ecosystem compared to its predecessors.

Adoption is produced by providing education to the masses, people will never truly invest their hard earned cash or help support an ecosystem in which they know nothing about. That is exactly why I created The Cardano Times. From my personal experience of engaging in Cardano, I had very little resources from IOHK and the Cardano Foundation, and resorted to a multitude of sources (which then brings up the concern of validity in their claims and information).

Education for Cardano must be provided in some form of centralized manner, without a central authority taking direct control over what is released and what is censored. Information can not be shredded into tiny puzzle pieces in which are found across the vast landscape of the internet, but must be centralized in one site or a smaller portion of the current system to truly allow adoption to occur.

People do not know what they do not know, and that is why Cardano is not gaining traction compared to its predecessors and other cryptocurrencies.
