How to transfer Ether from Coinbase to Mycellium Wallet?

[garyrbeach]

Can somebody help me with a step-by-step for dummies to get Ether I bought at Coinbase into my Mycellium wallet?

You can't as Mycelium wallet is only for bitcoin. If you do not want to leave your Ether at Coinbase you would have to use a different wallet than Mycelium.

Depending on how much Ether you have you may just want to leave at Coinbase for convenience. If you want to move off Coinbase in to a wallet where you control the private keys the most secure option is a hardware wallet like Ledger Nano S. If you do not need the high security of the Nano S look into Jaxx wallet for Android.

I just downloaded Jaxx a couple of days ago to hold some Ether and i am really impressed with the wallet.
It can hold a few different alt coins and has ShapeShift integrated.

Had the same reaction. I think that it's rating on google playstore was only like 3.4/5? So my expectations were low.

Yea there were a bit of minimal stutters but it does the job. If only it had pin/fingerprint security though. And multiple wallets.

Don't use Jaxx like you would a Trezor for large amounts of bitcoin or altcoins it is far too easy for an attacker to steal your coins with access to your computer.

Yes very good point to make, thanks for pointing that out.
Never store large amounts in a online wallet or a mobile phone app, it's just not safe.

I don't keep anything more than about 0.02btc max in a mobile wallet anymore, i still use the good old reliable paper wallet that i can create completely offline for larger amounts.
Although i am thinking of buying a KeepKey one day, they just looks so nice and sleak, almost sexy

Edit: After reading your link i have moved my Eth funds to another wallet, i also won't be keeping any bitcoins in that wallet.
