What do the "Fetch Wallet" options when opening a Ripple wallet mean?

4

When I open a Ripple account, I can choose to fetch my wallet from

  • Payward, Local Browser
  • Payward
  • Local Browser

What does this mean? Can someone elaborate on the differences, and when is each option appropriate?

Are there still 2 people voting to close ripple questions, despite being consensus on meta that they are in-topic? How childish they are?o0'. 2013-02-22T18:53:53.197

1@Lohoris - not just voting to close, but without identifying themselves...ripper234 2013-02-22T20:12:39.243

we could vote to close too, to reveal them.o0'. 2013-02-22T22:22:35.847

@Lohoris - nah, no point.ripper234 2013-02-23T00:26:53.783

I voted to close on this and all other Ripple questions I see. I feel the Ripple questions detract from this SE and will continue to use my "vote" in this manner.Stephen Gornick 2013-02-23T03:52:56.470

@StephenGornick - why don't you come talk about it here? http://meta.bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/335/should-this-se-also-cover-questions-about-ripple

@StephenGornick - wait ... you have. Is this reply ironic? http://meta.bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/345/78 I took it as a vote from you for including Ripple on Bitcoin SE?

@StephenGornick this is abusing the system: once it has been established that community thinks it is in-topic, you no longer have the right to vote to close.o0'. 2013-02-23T10:59:45.913

3@Lohoris - of course he has the right to vote to close, it's just childish and futile to insist on doing this if the vast majority will disregard it.ripper234 2013-02-23T14:30:50.870

@ripper234 no, you have to provide a reason to close a question, and if the reason is "it's OT" when the FAQ says it is IT, he's abusing the system.o0'. 2013-02-23T15:27:25.010

1If others join me and Ripple questions continuously get closed then maybe the topic of what the community wants here gets revisited. Incidentally, I want Ripple to succeed. I just want the Bitcoin SE to remain the Bitcoin SE.Stephen Gornick 2013-02-24T07:47:14.837

  • "Payward, Local Browser" tries to fetch your wallet from Payward and if an account has not been found or if the Payward is not available / you are offline, it tries to fetch the wallet from local storage.
  • "Payward" only looks in Payward.
  • "Local" only looks in local storage.

P. S. You've set where to save your wallet in https://ripple.com/client/#/register right after the "Create Wallet" button.

1What's a payward? And why must this post be 30 long? – None – 2013-05-04T10:57:38.283

You can store your encrypted wallet in Payward server, and access it everywhere, not only from your local machine.Vahe Hovhannisyan 2013-05-09T18:51:01.020
