Details of the Wallet Card

The Cryptonow Wallet consists of a wallet ID, a PIN code, a private key, and a public address.

The wallet ID and PIN code are two important elements to successfully activate a Cryptonow voucher on the Cryptonow website.

Private Key and Public Address

The private key is a cryptographic element that provides access to the cryptocurrencies stored in the wallet. It should never be shared, and only the wallet owner should have access to it. The loss of the private key results in the loss of access to the cryptocurrencies stored in the wallet.

On the other hand, the public address is a type of digital address that can be given to others, so they can send cryptocurrencies to your wallet. It is similar to an account number.


Important Security Notes

The security of the Cryptonow Wallet and the cryptocurrencies it contains relies heavily on proper handling, especially of the private key. It is important to emphasize that the private key should never be shared with third parties.

When sending cryptocurrencies to third parties, make sure you personally know the person and trust them. Be aware that cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed and should therefore be conducted with caution.

Overall, the Cryptonow Wallet® offers a secure and user-friendly solution for managing your cryptocurrencies, as long as the above-mentioned security measures are followed.
