I've noticed over the past few weeks the amount of people who are reliant on third parties to store their cryptocurrencies. This guide will focus on storing your Ethereum & Tokens using the Parity wallet. It's simpler than you think.

Step 1 - Visit https://parity.io/parity.html and download Parity for your operating system.

Step 2 - Install the wallet and open it to follow the prompts set up a wallet password and store your 25 word password backup somewhere safe.

Step 4 - The wallet will begin to sync the Ethereum blockchain, this may take an hour or two but it's only the longest the first time! Check the bottom right corner of the window for progress.

Step 5 - Transfer your funds from the third party holding your Ethereum/Tokens to the wallet address.

It's that simple!

..its all good and right if you have unlimited internet.....and fast....i dont have this luxury here.....

than you have BTC and LTC and monero and DASH...and ETH and DOGE and REP.....it would take me weeks just to sync the whole thing.....go for EXODUS and its all sorted....if it adds up,store it on a nano s...simple...easy...no sync....no worries mate....KISS-keep it simple stupid

It's dependent on whether you need to be connected to the node to get priority for transactions. The reason I posted this is because particularly people who participate in ICO's who rely on third party node like MyEtherWallet find it hard to register their transaction on the blockchain, and having parity solves this problem.

That said I haven't used Exodus myself but it looks like a nice wallet.

...thanks for your explanation....it took ages all the time to sync my monero....at this stage i store them on a exchange...i know its not the best solution...but the best at the moment for me....i love the exodus wallet...miner fee for BTC are not cheap but they are nowhere nowadays.....
