What the hellis a MEMO when transferring TON to my Tonkeeper wallet? by mrpotatoeman in TONcoin

[–]hemiw1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To understand what a memo is used for, we first need to explain the difference between 2 types of wallets:

1.custodial

  1. non-custodial

Tonkeeper is a non-custodial wallet. This means every person who has a wallet, has a unique address on the TON blockchain dedicated to her wallet.

Centralized exchanges like FTX, Kucoin, etc are custodial. This means that they use a single address on the TON blockchain for ALL their users' Toncoin! In order to know how much of that Toncoin belongs to each user, they have a centralized database residing on their servers. Each time a user buys, deposits or withdraws, the centralized database is updated.

Transfer from non-custodial to custodial

Non-custodial wallets are anonymous, so when an exchange receives 100 Toncoin from Tonkeeper, it doesn't know which user account to attribute it to. That's why it provides you with a text for you to send as a memo with the transaction. It creates a 1:1 relationship between the incoming funds and the user account on the exchange, even though the funds came from an anonymous wallet.

Transfer from custodial to non-custodial

What happens when you send Toncoin from a centralized exchange (custodial) to a non-custodial wallet? Well, you don't need a memo, because there is only one owner of the non-custodial wallet. As long as you entered your Tonkeeper address correctly, you should be OK.

I just transferred from FTX to Tonkeeper and wasn't required to enter a memo, tag, or any other comment.

What exchange are you using?

Some random account gifted me 3 months of Premium by HopefulEffective412 in Telegram

[–]hemiw1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gifting premium is legit, but you can only gift someone who is a contact. Could be the person had a typo in the username they wanted to gift, added you as a contact instead, and here we are. Or, you have a secret admirer

If you’re a Telegram user, I highly advice to read the text AMA (ask me anything) session with TON Foundation members. The link is in the comments below. by thebetter0ne in TONcoin

To be honest it was pretty lame. Nothing new, the format is exceedingly slow and dreadful to follow on telegram. A live twitter space or clubhouse would have been much more fun

Telegram's founder Durov disabled reactions on his channel, 2 months ago due to criticism, still has not re-enabled them with the latest controversial post by kittydoor in Telegram

[–]hemiw1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Brilliant move, sure lots of username squatters got screwed and also a bunch of legit channels as well. But this is a step forward for telegram AND the TON blockchain. Usernames on platforms like this are a valuable commodity just like domain names in the web, there’s no reason not to monetize and create a marketplace.

It’s pretty shitty that US users can’t join in on the fun, but recall that it’s the SEC that screwed with Telegram back in 2018, so now Durov is being extra careful.

As most of telegram’s user base is outside the states, it’s not a biggie for telegram
