You can store your encrypted wallet in Payward server, and access it everywhere, not only from your local machine.

Are there still 2 people voting to close ripple questions, despite being consensus on meta that they are in-topic? How childish they are?

@Lohoris - not just voting to close, but without identifying themselves...

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.

@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.

@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 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.

If 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.

(Asked by: username_0 on 2013-02-21)

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?

* "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.
