Your passphrase as in the 24 words?

If you don’t have those, you’re out of luck. If you have those, then the password to access the app itself doesn’t matter. You can restore with the 24 words. If you happened to store on a Ledger, then the app itself can just be reinstalled and reconnected to the Ledger.

Augh - that’s terrible. So very sorry to hear! I’ve reported this site via the Bing, Google (Safebrowsing), Palo, TALOS, etc. tools. Not sure how quickly it’ll get re-categorized so it gets blocked. Bing is the one I’m least optimistic about since, without a corporate login, it doesn’t let you add this site into their system.

First off - thank you so much for the detailed answer! So this is the answer - transfer as in send them to myself. There is no importing anything. This is my experience limitation because I’ve used BTC, BCH, ZEC, etc. all built on the BTC model and I never got into ETH. So now that you’ve said, please clarify more.

In another thread user @tsachi suggested, for some modicum of privacy:

“If you want to prevent the other party from knowing your address, you can create a new account, and give that account to the payer. Once this account is funded, you can use the key to either move the funds into your “primary” account or keep it separate.”

Algorand - 'consumer' experience, questions

I can’t edit my original response anymore @JasonW but this indeed did work in the end. Thanks much! -Pk
So initially I thought you meant just send funds from the new account to the other but you said “key” and now I can’t figure that out. Is there a reference for how this is done? This almost sounds like you’re saying I can import the private key for the new account into my ‘main’ account but I’m unsure.

Biweekly update on Algorand: Layer-1 Smart Contracts, Layer-2 Off-Chain Contracts, Algorand Standard Assets, Wallet…

That was posted on Reddit - not mine. I came here because I wasn’t getting answers on Reddit and here I don’t see this… So am I missing a better ‘official’ place to talk Algorand? I still have questions from my initial thread on ‘consumer’ features.

Android wallet - unable to create account

Jun 3, 2020
So I have a Galaxy 7 Edge and I’m having the same problem - it doesn’t seem to like the fingerprint sensor or whatever API Samsung uses to make it work. I should note, if I wasn’t clear above, I have this problem with other apps that support fingerprint authentication too. Not all but some.

Ah. That might indeed be it - the Samsung fingerprint system does something wonky as I find it doesn’t work with some other apps too. My banking app just vomits on the Samsung fingerprint verify for example. Cheers, -Pk

Alright - so I tried this on an exchange I have an account on but it seems to think the destination address is invalid. Am I missing something? There isn’t a different receive address when I add Tether as an asset. So it just ‘knows’ that goes into that compatible asset?

Per chance do you have a Samsung Galaxy 7 or 8? I know we ran into a problem similar to yours on a Samsung before I tried it on a newer OnePlus. To your closing question, you collect rewards by holdings regardless of where you hold. So the My Algo wallet or others are fine. However, to ‘see’ the rewards you may need to connect your wallet to the Algorand platform.

Each account is a whole process, keys, etc. though - right? That’s what it looks like in the app. That is a lot of work for something every other coin I’ve touched just ‘does’ normally. Given the credentials of the Algorand staff, this must be a design decision for a reason. However, I can’t find any documentation or explanation for this.

Looks like they speak to this and off-chain storage via IPFS here:

“The Interplanetary File System (IPFS) is an open-source solution that is well suited for the off-chain storage of transaction-related information. The IPFS is a decentralized file storage system that uses a cryptographic hash of the files.”

I wanted to get into PoS coins and Algorand is one of two I’m most interested in. In large part because my organization is also looking at possibly using a blockchain platform for client work product management. Now, I wanted to get an overview of what other options or integrations might be beneficial.
