Hi! I am a digital artist and I have had a few offers made on my art but they buyer wants to pay with Ethereum. I don’t know much about cryptocurrency and even less about Ethereum so I don’t know if this is a scam or not. Would anyone be willing to help me out?
I would advise you request payment in “Native” ETH. This is just called ETH, and probably what your client is offering. If so, you are good, it is really difficult to scam someone from simply sending them ETH.
This is the only asset on Ethereum that will increase your account’s balance on Etherscan dot io. You will see tokens - these are different from ETH. I would suggest NOT to accept any “tokens”, since these have some potential to be scams.
If your guy does a transaction and you receive it, and see it on Etherscan, It should say “ETH Balance:” and the number you are expecting
