My plan for XRP
I have XRP on a Coinbase exchange; the following is what I did to prepare for the FLR airdrop. The snapshot is taken at 12:00 AM UTC December 12. Trade is suspended between suspended before the snapshot from 12:00 PM UTC December 11. This airdrop is much like a stock split where you will receive at no cost FLR coins proportionately based on the number of XRP you have in a cold wallet or at a participating exchange at the time of the airdrop event. Coinbase is not participating in the FLR airdrop; if your XRP is on coinbase at the time of the snapshot you will not receive FLR tokens.
- If you are on Coinbase and not on Coinbase pro; please open a Coinbase pro app and trade on Coinbase pro instead of Coinbase. The interface is more flexible and has more information; and the trade fees are far less expensive. The url for this app is pro.coinbase.com.
- Buy a Ledger Nano S or Nano X. Only buy on-line direct from Ledger, no third party or used devices. Get this on order so there is time allocated in your plan to account for shipping. I bought the combination pack that includes a Nano S and a Nano X.
- Check your Coinbase pro account for your withdraw limit. If your limit is lower than your quantity of XRP, request a higher limit. I used the following for my reason: “I have significant assets that I need to transfer for immediate trade.” The limit is in USD, when choosing your limit consider that the XRP price may increase. The limits tab is found in your profile information in the dropdown arrow next to your name in the upper right corner, pro.coinbase.com/profile/limits. Allocate 1 – 2 days to have Coinbase approve your daily limit increase.
- When you get your Nano, find instruction or watch a youtube video to determine how to set up the Ledger Live account and to access the Nano. Transfer your XRP as a withdraw from Coinbase and a receive to your Nano. Practice with a small transfer of XRP before you transfer a large amount of XRP, I practiced with 25 XRP. Note that when you create an XRP wallet ledger, the wallet will designate 20 XRP as a minimum balance that you will never be able to withdraw.
- You are now at the same place that I am and are ready for the snapshot, there are less than 10 days to make sure you in time for the FLR drop, please allocate time to get to this point with a time cushion. Allot time for Coinbase to crash; during heavy trading Coinbase has crashed and has been unavailable.
- A step remains to set a message on your Nano so your address will be known for the FLR transfer; I am going to set this message after the snapshot date. The idea is to have the snapshot taken and then transfer the coins from the wallet to either another wallet of an exchange before setting the message. I am being cautious and going to use this Nano to exclusively receive my FLR tokens and will hold my XRP in a different location. The FLR tokens are going to be distributed over 3 years; this will provide me with a dedicated place to receive and track the received FLR tokens that I have full control over. I own the wallet and will not have to stay with an exchange that I may want to leave.
- Please share and comment on this plan so that I can make it better, I have a contact page on this website that will send a message to my personal email. I wish you success and good fortune. I believe that FLR tokens will have real value in the near future, that is why I am participating in this event. I will update this plan based on your comments and additional information.
- I am now holding my XRP in my wallet and not trading until after the snapshot date, after December 12, 2020 I will re-evaluate and update this plan.
- I am searching for an additional exchange because Coinbase has a history of crashing during high trade volume. I am considering Kracken.
