How to Make a Wallet in the Altrady Portfolio

Step 1

Open Altrady and go to the portfolio tab.

Step 2

On the top left of the portfolio page, there is a button that says ‘+Add’ next to ‘My Accounts’

Then, click the add button and a little menu will come up, then click ‘Wallet’.

Step 3

You should now be prompted to add a name for this wallet. We will name this wallet ‘Ethereum’ but you can add any name you like.

Step 4

Next click the add button again, but this time click ‘Wallet address’.

Step 5

Now give the wallet address a name and select the wallet you made previously.

Step 6

Then select the chain we’re choosing ‘eth’.

Step 7.0

If making a **bitcoin **wallet in Altrady, do step 7.0 ONLY to check what the wallet address starts with. note whether this address is a 3 or a bc1.
Then skip to Step 8.0.

For others types of wallet, continue here.
Next, go copy the deposit address from your wallet provider. For this guide we are using Ledger Live.

Step 7.1 (bitcoin wallet skip this step and go to Step 8.0 and follow through)

Get the address to deposit from your wallet and copy it paste it into Altrady and then hit the save button. Also please note whether this is an address that starts with a bc1 or a 3 and write this down on paper or in the notepad app on your computer. This will be important in a later step when we go to generate the zpub.

(if starting with a 3 then generate a ypub)

If you finished the above steps on ETH, LTC, or BNB then you are done, and you should see your wallet and coin amount in your portfolio in altrady, if you chose bitcoin, keep reading.

Step 8.0

Then in Ledger go to your settings for this wallet account on the top right click this settings wrench.

Step 8.1

Click advanced right here.

Step 8.2

This part where it says “xpub”: “xpubaasdlDFA2as3fs5…”

Copy the long string that says xpub inside the quotes that stretches 2 lines.

Note: this is completely safe to share this is a part of verifying your holdings without others being able to take your money. You can read more about that here: Is sharing xpub safe?

Step 8.3

Paste this in the 'Your xpub' box over in this website: jlopp xpub converter

Be sure to tick whether your address starts with a 3 or a bc1. Check the note you left for yourself about this in Step 8. if starting with a bc1 convert to Zpub and if starting with a 3 then convert to Ypub

Step 8.4

This will generate either a zpub or a ypub string, paste this as the wallet address for right here.

Finished

You should now see your wallet and number of coins in the Altrady portfolio.

How to Ignore Coin Balances in Your Wallet

Click on the three dots, next to the wallet that you want to ignore coins for. Then, click Edit wallet.

On the next screen, you will see a column titled Ignore in balance. To ignore any of the listed currencies, click on the slider next to the currency that you would like to be ignored.

Note: Changes are automatically and immediately saved after clicking on the slider next to each coin. You do not need to click the save button, for these changes to be saved. Closing the widget after enabling/disabling is enough.

If you wish to add the wallet to its own folder after ignoring balances, enter a name for the wallet, and choose which folder it should be added to. Once done, click save and you should see that your wallet has been added to the respective folder.
