Can I user BTER without owning a BTS wallet? I currently have my money in an exchange and do not own a wallet -- due to not trusting my home computer.

So does this mean I cannot use the faucet if I do not own a wallet? I use Cryptsy to buy my Bitshares. Do I still need to set up a wallet? I do not own a computer I trust well enough to install a wallet. I do my crypto purchasing on my lunch break at work.

Possible dumb question.. Trying to register at the faucet, I get this:
 
We were unable to register account 'kencode' - { "message": "Assert Exception (10)\nbase58str.substr( 0, prefix_len ) == prefix: \n", "detail": "10 assert_exception: Assert Exception\nbase58str.substr( 0, prefix_len ) == prefix: \n {\"base58str\":\"1A0499F885706D41559650D832FBB0E291EA53A1\"}\n th_a types.cpp:31 public_key_type", "code": 10 }
 
Is that err saying my pgp fp is not correct? i entered the shorter 64-bit version too, just in case. no go.
Thanx

try this in your wallet:

go to the console button
type in:
wallet_get_account_public_address yourusername

(yourusername as in your username )
it should pump out a public key address
that should be what the site wants
