    The gas fee is paid in ether, so you need to have the ether in your wallet to move the ngc from your wallet. The amount of tokens you send doesn't factor into the price of moving them. – natewelch_ Jan 03 '18 at 19:22
  • is there no way of getting my ngc out without buying ether? – patrick Jan 03 '18 at 19:24
  • I can send you a few $ of eth for the gas fee if you're comfortable sending me your address, you can private message it to me on reddit - my username there is the same as here, flygoing – natewelch_ Jan 03 '18 at 19:51

A token transfer on the Ethereum network actually invokes a method on a smart contract. All smart contract calls require "gas", paid for in Ether. This is why you can't move any tokens without also having Ether.
