Thank you! I ended up going with ToastWallet, as the Minimalist Wallet seemed a little wonky/unintuitive.

<p>Possibly dumb question here (and first-time poster).</p>

<p>I have a Coinbase account with several different cryptocurrencies in it. I recently used ShapeShift to exchange ether (ETH) from my Coinbase wallet to Ripple (XRP).</p>

<p>To do this I generated an XRP address using <a href="http://ripplepaperwallet.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://ripplepaperwallet.com</a>. Then, in Coinbase, I sent my ETH to a provisional address generated by ShapeShift, after which they immediately deposited XRP into my generated address.</p>

<p>Here's the question: how do I now spend or use that XRP address? I'm only now realizing it's not hosted by any wallet, so I have no idea how to spend it or exchange it. (I'm trying to get it into the Binance exchange, if possible.) I have both the private key and the address, so in theory I should be able to access the funds, right? </p>
