This is Tutorial 5 out of 9 for the ONSTELLAR ICO. _([overview](https://steemit.com/onstellar/@onstellar/the-onstellar-tutorial-series-for-investors))_

https://steemitimages.com/DQmbjr43wbsn4svZBDynqExpyByapa1qRAGgC8Leirjq5zR/onstellar-devider.png ## Step 1:

Open the website https://www.myetherwallet.com/ in your web browser. _Make sure to navigate there directly and don't click any links on a website or in a search engine. There are so-called phishing websites out there that resemble original websites which may try to steal your money._ Double check if you are on the an official ETH network in the top right corner. ETH (myetherapi.com) should be the default option. If that is the case enter a secure password for your wallet in the big password field in the center and finally click __Create Wallet__. Make sure to remember this password and maybe create a paper copy of it which you store in a secure location. ![MyEtherWallet-1.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNaZL2ve43nYj68CpD7daapvVvi8SJ5bPJaUYMjqwxqwk/MyEtherWallet-1.png) https://steemitimages.com/DQmbjr43wbsn4svZBDynqExpyByapa1qRAGgC8Leirjq5zR/onstellar-devider.png ## Step 2:

Download the keystore file and safe it on an external flash drive which you keep in a secure location. This file will allow you to recover your wallet as a backup plan. Never share this file with anybody! After you are done with that click on __I understand. Continue.__ ![MyEtherWallet-2.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdcTick5GwyUBRQEbmLYfAnbaovqYGJHU4NMDD2XniVTd/MyEtherWallet-2.png) https://steemitimages.com/DQmbjr43wbsn4svZBDynqExpyByapa1qRAGgC8Leirjq5zR/onstellar-devider.png ## Step 3:

You can now print your unencrypted __Paper Wallet__. This is an optional step but highly recommended as an extra backup for you. Make sure to keep this in a secure location and not at the same place as your keystore file to avoid loss in case of fire, water or something like that. _Do not safe your private key on any cloud service or online storage as that might get compromised!_ After you are done with that click on __Safe Your Address__. ![MyEtherWallet-3.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRGW3KfH8USQMDHCJ4ZHZshwXj9WJvGq8cTU193oR5fvf/MyEtherWallet-3.png)
This is how the Paper Wallet will look like: ![MyEtherWallet-4.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTGFPgZ9L88obTCWofD3Gc98MQkHNRLMrS3ZMBa552trC/MyEtherWallet-4.png) https://steemitimages.com/DQmbjr43wbsn4svZBDynqExpyByapa1qRAGgC8Leirjq5zR/onstellar-devider.png ## Step 4:

You can now unlock your wallet. Try to use your new __keystore file__ for that to see if that works. You will be asked for your wallet password that you generated in Step 1. ![MyEtherWallet-5.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbcvFZvrMqntqVG9cBbhq2qhAMPVAzZYfpDTSes3emdwE/MyEtherWallet-5.png) ![MyEtherWallet-6.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPvuiX8zCToY67ZRszqVc53Yo6gVybP9cs5aey6ik6Jx2/MyEtherWallet-6.png)
After entering for the first time you will see wallet details where you can access the private key, a QR code address, download the keystore file again and print the paper wallet again. ![MyEtherWallet-7.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSqwxoFG3L3cs8cAJV5q6y58gUoMMxf9cMHLTbENVMgMZ/MyEtherWallet-7.png) https://steemitimages.com/DQmbjr43wbsn4svZBDynqExpyByapa1qRAGgC8Leirjq5zR/onstellar-devider.png ## Step 5:

You have a now a fully functional Ethereum wallet. If you want to send funds from there to another wallet you can login by clickin gin the main navigation on __Send Ether & Tokens__. That will bring you to the access page where you can select __Private Key__. Every time you do that you should double check the URL and the SSL certificate of the website to avoid entering your key on a phishing website. ![MyEtherWallet-8.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNm1aP8XQ5vQ7qfknjWvzi8SCotsSFyo2E7AztqZnwzDX/MyEtherWallet-8.png)
You will land in your wallet from where you can now send funds to other wallets. We will provide a tutorial just for that soon. ![MyEtherWallet-9.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmU1QvZt2m6Me323socCc7V4Uj4DA698kQRnDUSX4UkhXC/MyEtherWallet-9.png) https://steemitimages.com/DQmbjr43wbsn4svZBDynqExpyByapa1qRAGgC8Leirjq5zR/onstellar-devider.png ## Finished!
