Title: Best Hardware wallet ? Post by: OmegaStarScream on November 26, 2016, 02:44:26 PM I want to buy a Hardware wallet since some wallets have some great deals at the moment with the Black Friday and I don't want to miss this opportunity . I would like to hear some reviews from people who used different hardware wallet so I can choose one based on them.
Title: Re: Best Hardware wallet ? Post by: fiscorcle on November 26, 2016, 02:53:35 PM Ledger is the most easiest to get a deal on.
But I would wait on the next Trezor to jump on. Just too bad it is not available yet :( maybe by Christmas. ;) Title: Re: Best Hardware wallet ? Post by: Sylon on November 26, 2016, 03:49:21 PM As fiscorcle said, Ledger wallets are perfect if your wish is to store little amounts of bitcoins.
Furthermore, they have very good quality support if you face with any problem. Title: Re: Best Hardware wallet ?

I thought hardware wallets are meant to be for big amounts and for long term (I see that ledger have 30 years lifespan), just like Paper wallets . Title: Re: Best Hardware wallet ? Post by: amacar2 on November 26, 2016, 04:05:50 PM I found some discount here for black friday and i think this is still available tried using coupon code on checkout https://blog.trezor.io/black-friday-deal16-c351a52be085#.hx9mtsezd
Trezor is good and trusted hardware wallet. Title: Re: Best Hardware wallet ?

Sure the hardware wallets such as Trezor were meant to hold large amounts of btc but I don't think many would want to put a big amount on a usb stick that the ledger one that I was thinking of. Title: Re: Best Hardware wallet ? Post by: sabbirshm on November 26, 2016, 05:00:35 PM The new Ledger Nano S is best hardware wallet, it's different from other ledger because it has screen.Screens means like a Keepkey or trezor.You can used it in computer also no problem if the computer infected with malware.And price is very cheap about 65$.

Post by: BuySomeBitcoins on November 26, 2016, 05:48:55 PM Best wallet I tried and I recommend is KeepKey, they have a minimal and robust design, compatible with many Softwares, work on all OS - best investment ever.

Post by: BuySomeBitcoins on November 26, 2016, 09:12:24 PM I am not sure about the price, but for its quality, you have to spend some of your money.
Its electrum integration will make it the best tool you will have to secure your coins even if your PC is infected. Title: Re: Best Hardware wallet ? Post by: Hazir on November 26, 2016, 09:25:12 PM I personally don't use hardware wallet nor I want it as I think software wallets are secure enough and I don't need portability at all.
However, here you can find interesting catalog of pretty much every significant bitcoin/altcoin wallet created up to date: https://www.cryptocompare.com/wallets/#/overview?f0=Hardware (https://www.cryptocompare.com/wallets/#/overview?f0=Hardware) Hardware wallets are presented there too, interesting to note that only 1 Hardware Wallet supports altcoins - KeepKey Wallet. Title: Re: Best Hardware wallet ? Post by: fiscorcle on November 26, 2016, 10:20:59 PM I think using a linux box would be your best hardware wallet right now. :-\

I thought hardware wallets are meant to be for big amounts and for long term (I see that ledger have 30 years lifespan), just like Paper wallets . "Little" is a relative term. Maybe 5 bitcoins are a small amount to him. I'd say if you're storing more than a bitcoin a hardware wallet would be a good idea. Anything less than that you could just use a paper wallet and not worry about tying up $100 (ish) on a hardware wallet. Title: Re: Best Hardware wallet ?

This is what I meant. If your wish is to store 10,000 bitcoins on a Ledger USB key, you can. But that's extremely risky. If your budget is big enough, purchase few USB keys and divide all your coins upon those different keys. Title: Re: Best Hardware wallet ?

It's not that you can store the same bitcoin on multiple Ledger USBs like a wallet.dat backup on regular USBs. If the Ledger USB is lost then you can restore your bitcoins by buying another Ledger USB and write the 24 words seeds to restore the wallet. Title: Re: Best Hardware wallet ?

I would like to hear some reviews from people who used different hardware wallet so I can choose one based on them. You will get a better debate in Reddit about a review of both trezor and ledger but I think to prefer on nano ledger. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3d6ww3/its_time_for_a_hardware_wallet_should_i_go_for/ Quote Trezor looks good and you can show it to your friends. Ledger doesn't have as nice a UI but if you can get past that, it's fine. With Trezor, if you start putting in bad PINs, the time increases before you can try again. Trezor website claims that between the 19th and 20th try, it takes a week. With Ledger if you try three bad PIN attempts, the devices wipes clean and you have to reseed it. The one thing I like about Trezor over Ledger is that the PIN keypad is scrambled on the device. Also, when you reseed your Trezor your are prompted to put in your seeds not in sequential order. Enter seed three, enter seed fifteen, enter seed six, etc. That's a pretty nice security feature if you're being keylogged. Ledger simply presents the spaces and by habit, you would type them in sequentially. You could confuse a keylogger by putting the seeds in randomly. Title: Re: Best Hardware wallet ?

Post by: OmegaStarScream on November 27, 2016, 05:15:13 AM I see that no one mentioned Opendime or Casewallet which is weird a little bit but now and after seeing your recommendations , I may choose one between Trezor and Legder but I will probably wait for Trezor 2 In case I will be buying it since It may contain more features, speaking about Ledger too , what are the differences between it and t "S" version except that It has Ethereum and Ethereum classic support ?

Trezor should be the primary choice it is slightly overpriced,but its tag is there for a reason-at the moment this is the most secure and trusted hardware wallet on the market speaking of Trezor2 ,I personally,don't think any new features would improve it drastically and it will cost more for sure,so I'd stick to the tried and tested original version Title: Re: Best Hardware wallet ? Post by: Oilacris on November 27, 2016, 10:10:12 AM Ledger is the most easiest to get a deal on. Same here im waiting for the next Trezor since Its the best hardware wallet for me especially when you do tend to store large bitcoin but if you do only have small amounts then Ledger would be good also. Its really up to your preference OP :) Most users here are saying the same thing too.But I would wait on the next Trezor to jump on.

I own a Ledger nano hw1 and I'm happy with that, even though I know that it is not not as secure as the new ledger but it does it job well. If you can afford to buy a trezor then go with it, but if not the Ledger nano S should be the best value for a great hardware wallet. Title: Re: Best Hardware wallet ?

In my local bitcoin store, they mention that the ledger nano is a good choice for the price, but I think I would buy the Trezor instead for myself. I would buy one when I reach a certain amount in bitcoin and transfer it from my smartphone to the Trezor ;). I think is better to buy one when you have enough to justify the price of a Trezor. Title: Re: Best Hardware wallet ? Post by: smho_16 on November 28, 2016, 06:20:28 PM I would say go for the ledger, it offers you wide range of choice from the HW.1 the cheapest one up to the newest Ledger NanoS. Do not be worried about their life span. If you keep your 24 seed words safe you can buy a new one if it breaks down and restore all your money just like with Electrum or MultibitHD.
I have one of Ledger wallets and so far it's going well, I barely use it ,once a week or once in 2 weeks and is doing the job pretty nicely. www.ledgerwallet.com ---- For all the info needed.

I think is better to buy one when you have enough to justify the price of a Trezor. i think trezor is the best one to be used for storing but for me i think i cant buy that since im no totally a bitcoin stockholder, and frequently cashing out my btc if i think my earnings is been enough and just using our wallet app that available in my country since i can use it easily and cash out with ease. and for me the one who really needs trezor is those people can wait and stake their btc for much longer, and also i heard ledger nano but i don't know its trustable to put our btc on i dont ready any feedbacks from its users. Title: Re: Best Hardware wallet ? Post by: King Sastro on November 29, 2016, 03:02:58 AM Best hardware wallet, I recommend to use trezor. Many users that give positive quoted after they use trezor. But we must put our bitcoin in some wallet or not only a wallet.

It will sue you for putting the pin but in the desktop was showing the hidden keys, and this keys was appearing in your trezor device. Title: Re: Best Hardware wallet ? Post by: isen on November 29, 2016, 04:27:50 AM I am a satisfied Ledger Nano owner, lately I am looking to buy a second hardware wallet but this time I am thinking to upgrade to Nano S.
Trezor is good too but a bit expensive I don't find any reason to pay 100$ while I can spend 30$ less for Nano S.After all it is a matter of budget even hw1 which is the cheapest of all is a very good and safe solution. |
