For the wallets I understand it could be confusing haha.
I usually find it easier to go to Leodex wallet, there you can see all the second layer tokens you have and stake/delegate/transfer it. All in one wallet.
Regarding buying LEO it will all depends on how much you want to invest.
If you are planning to be a whale and invest thousands of dollars then you might use Uniswap to buy your LEOs.
Assuming it's a huge amount of money you invest and ETH transaction fees are a drop in your investment.
Otherwise if you want to put a bit of money then go to Leodex (again) and buy it there with your Hive.
I suggest Leodex because the deposit/withdrawal fees are 0.25% instead of 1% on Hive-engine.

How do I even get Hive in here? I have a little on an exchange that I bought years ago when it was Steem. I don't even see anywhere I can find an address to transfer it into. All of my Hive in here is in HP, which is where it was on Steemit. I'd rather leave that where it is but I'd like to get some regular Hive to use to get a little of the Leo and possibly others. Plus, I'm a little nervous about trying to swap into Leo on uniswap. I tried looking up the Leo address on etherscan and kept getting a different Leo....
Let's forget about Uniswap for the moment and start from the beginning, getting liquid HIVE.
It's way easier to buy HIVE as it's listed on some big exchange platforms.
For example I buy mine on Binance and I transfer it with very minimal fees to my Hive wallet.
From there I deposit it to Leodex and buy LEO.
Which exchange(s) are you using to buy your crypto usually ?

Yes, I know where to buy it. Bittrex has it available. But, where do I find my address on Hive? I can't figure out where I find my address to transfer into Hive. Do I have to open an account with Blocktrades or something?

This totally threw me off the first time too ! I even deposited through blocktrades the first time.
You don’t have to do that, it’s much easier lol.
Your hive address is dagger212
Yes your hive name is your wallet address...
Give a try and send 1 hive and you’ll see :)

Lol
It took me awhile to get to know how to make deposits and use the hive engine too..
It's always like that for first timer

I know ! That should be the first line of the newcomer's book :D

I'm not gonna lie. It's scary! I'm in the process of trying it with 5 Hive right now....
It definitely should... Maybe there can be a tread for that....
It'll be of help to every newbie out there

Lol that's the beauty of this blockchain .
Your username is your identity , your wallet address , your everything .
Pro tip : Have 3 copies of your private keys in different computers / smartphone etc.
