The regular wallet (mist/geth) took up 20gb the last time i tried it and either has to be running all the time or takes hours to update to use (from what i remember)

Any alternatives, especially liteweight, out there besides just storing them on exchanges?

why you don't try to keep your eth on https://www.myetherwallet.com
its easy to use,,

i hope it help
regards

You can use Parity, and prune the chain. you will have access to a fully functional node with less blockchain size, with some limitations.

Or fetch for some ethereum lightwallets, but you won't have any RPC or console possibilities as it is the point of lightwallets.

If you just need to store ethers, you can use Exodus or Jaxx.

I store them using MyEtherWallet which is a great mix of security and ease of use. It is an open-source lightweight client requiring no synchronisation. Simply the best Ethereum storing method out there, hands down !

myetherwallet
Easy to use, and does not take up space on the computer)

But MyEtherWallet is only online, right? And if happens something to the website? Will it be possible to get back the money?

myetherwallet.com is so great that you can store different kind of tokens which is why this is also what I'm using. I'm storing my GUP, ICN, EDGELESS and Xaurum in myetherwallet. I will also add some Taas TOken later once its available in the exchanges. What I like so much of it is that you can use it offline by downloading the zip file of it.

Why using that hassle wallet while theirs myetherwallet existing? Just listen to the other suggestion since this wallet can assure that you wouldn't get pain in the ass if you want to transact you eth as soon you would need it but you need  some extra balance for gas up.

But if you want to store in exchanger well much better if you separate your eth and don't put all you have on one basket.

Rule of thumb: forget about 'web wallets'.

I'll say it again: do not store your coins on third parties' servers. This practice goes against the core idea of a decentralized currency and puts your assets at risk.

Always store your coins on a device that you personally own and control. Your least secure option is to use a mobile wallet. There are many mobile wallet apps on the market, but I won't recommend any of them because they inherit all the security flaws of the underlying platform - be it iOS or Android.

A better option is to use a desktop wallet (assuming you're using a Unix-based operating system, i.e. Linux or macOS). Check out Exodus (http://"https://www.exodus.io") - it's a clean, lightweight, cross-platform wallet app that handles ETH, BTC and a bunch of other assets.

The most secure way is to use a hardware wallet such as Trezor or KeepKey.

Biggest problem at the moment are Ripple, except GateHub I didn't find anything else...  :-\

I've never heard about Exodus, I'll do some research about it  ;)

Yeah, I'm actually seriously thinking about getting KeepKey!

My ether wallet and if you have trezor you can add an aextra protection with it.
For me myetherwallet is the best

You can use Jaxx or Myetherwallet if you're worried about space and like the features that they offer (several coins, several gadgets (chrome extension, mobile apps, etc.). It is relatively safe (I believe that you're only 100% free of external interference using hardware or paper wallets). Do some research and give a try on what suits you best.

Come on guys, do you even know how www.myetherwallet.com even works? Do you know what a client-side wallet even is?

https://www.myetherwallet.com is a nice CLIENT-SIDE (javascript) wallet.

You have to have the wallet.dat on your PC for it to work.
If anything happened to the website, nothing would happen to your wallet.

It's very good if you do not want to download the whole blockchain on your PC and be able to access your wallet from everywhere.

https://www.myetherwallet.com doesn't actually have any of your wallet's information, because it's client-side.

They do however hold a copy of the blockchain so that you don't need to download it.

You might be right on myetherwallet.com. I was talking about server-side wallets.

This is what I use as well, it is easy to use and secure enough if you don’t have a lot of funds so you may try it if you like opener.

im using an online wallet for my eth, its safe i thinkg because of the site securities and I believe its safe because my friends are using the same wallet like mine, they are completely trust this wallet like the way i did.

I only ever kept mine on an exchange as I wasn't ever really pleased with the ETH wallets. Trezor does support storing ETH if you have one and would probably be one of the better methods of storing it.

Coinbase has been working out fine for me and I trust them to a degree.  I do not trust them on some things that are important, however. I am speaking of privacy. I am also speaking of the length of time that purchases done through Coinbase always take 10 days or more to appear in my wallet  I have much to learn about how to best take advantage of anonymity.  I believe anonymity is important to the future of cryptocurrency.

i store my ETH my online wallet that i can keep alt coin.

for me I store my ethereum coin online because the site of my ethereum wallet is legit and no history record of scam.
It is recommended to store it online than to create on your pc wallet.

Use web wallet https://www.myetherwallet.com not in need of time to synchronization instead of client wallet. Its better choice if it is ERC20 of ethereum.

I've tried to download ethereum wallet but it's so huge and takes a lot of time,so I have no choice but to settle with Jaxx and myetherwallet,anyway both are safe and secure and lightweight compare to the desktop wallet.

I am using exchanges at the moment because I trade a bit but I don't own much ETH. I do have some ETH based tokens though so am using MYETHERWALLET to house those, along with the exchanges. I hope to look into other wallets in the future, when I get more heavily into ETH BASED projects, which is inevitable as many new tokens are being born on the EHTEREUM platform.

Use cold storage. Not safe to leave funds for a long time in exchanges.

I am just using regular myetherwallet's private file and unlock it if needed.
But I don't hold much budget down there even if they are trustable.

This is also i wanted to say i do also use myetherwallet but i do only put small amounts of ETH and most of it are stored on cold storage because no matter how trustable and reputable the risk of losing all coins is still there and we wont know on when it would happen.Downloading whole blockchain or syncing is really pain in the ass but you must sacrificed if you do really like to store your ETH.

I'm using paperwallets generated from myetherwallet and I am withdrawing from the exchange as much Eth as the daily limit allows me.   

Myetherwallet Works fine with ethereum and other ico tokens' storage. only you know the private key, that's why it's secure to store ethereum tye of things in.

This makes absolutely no sense. Why would it be recommended to store it "online"?

Storing coin, especially Ethereum in an exchange is not the right choice. The simplest way to store your Ethereum without require any hardware is with use myetherwallet.com

An year ago I was have some ethereum in my exchange and after its value fall I sold them and now as the price is again rising and it is going well so I am thinking to buy some ethereum and keep them for the price to increase and for that I will try to keep them in a well trusted exchange as if any bad thing started to happen then I will exchange them immediately.

storing our ethereum in myetherwallet can be good option but in the past, i am trying to safe in ethereum offline desktop and now i use jaxx that support ethereum with another type of the coins. i think i am prefer to save ethereum in my android phone than in online wallet, so i can see my coins grow directly.

for me I store it in myethereum.com it is my #1 ether wallet for now and I don't used desktop wallet due to some issue of my desktop.
It also recommended to used online wallet.

Jaxx from decentral is one of the most convenient ways to use and store Bitcoin, Ether, and DAO tokens.

Does anyone use Exodus?

Myetherwallet, there is a safe place to store eth. Almost all of my eth is stored there.

On the first I cannot believe in ethereum coins but when I discovered a faucets that earn ethereum I continue it and I started to like it. Because the faucet of this Altcoins were not consuming of time and easy to withdraw.

i prefer storing ethereum on a online wallet like myethereum i dont use wallet that needs to be sync because i am lazy to wait for the blocks and hackers cant get into my wallet unlike desktop wallet

i would use antminer s7 to mine btc then convert to ETH and store online!!

Storing in myetherwallet a nice decision, but even though it is safe we ​​also need to be wary of things that could be detrimental

I store my ETH on Poloniex, where i can exchange if i want.

Well, people mostly don't trust exchangers and themselves, so they don't keep money there. Poloniex was down some time ago, by the way, wasn't it?
Anyway, I store my eth in an online wallet (ethereum-wallet.net) and am happy for it. Password, login and e-mail -nothing else is needed. I don't use eth much, though, so I am not sure how fast this wallet operates.

im storing it in my ether wallet online, its look so good as a first time user, but i asked my friends about this and fortunately they said that this would be great and secured. so try it too.

I always worry a little about threads like this--like someone (not the OP, but potentially anyone) can use this information as a stepping stone towards figuring out where you store your coin. If they can start linking that to a real world identity, then can begin the work of trying to socially engineer their way into your wallet.

Although cold storage is more safe but as I am a small investor and cannot  afford to trade a good amount of Etherium or any other altrcon there I mostly put my Etherium in online wallet. As I always found it trusted and never found any problem related to my etherum wallet.

you are correct but there is also one thing to remember, people usually don't hold these altcoins for long, good traders that is.
so they want to have them hot and accessible at a moments notice and as a professional trader you don't want to even miss a second. so you keep it on exchange and dump it as fast as possible to make the most profit possible.

besides running a wallet for most of these altcoins, specially ethereum with its terrible wallet is a pain in the ass and it will eat up your network and HDD so fast.

For me the safest way to store ethereum is through myethwallet ive been using it for a long time and if my goal price will reach probably send it to an exchange.

I think yes it is still good time to invest your money in Etherium but if you have some extra money that you can afford to invest for a long time. because I am sure that in future Etherium will remain as number 2nd best altcoin after bitcoin. Therefore I am also keeping eye to Etherium and thinkn about to invest my money there.

I am trading altcon and specially Etherium and always store in exchange wallet and I think I  never face any problem with that. To me I think every kind of wallets are okay and it all about your luck the benefit from Etherium that are stored in our wallet.

I tried to have software wallet of ETH. But I found it is too difficult to go with. So, decided to stick within online wallet of ETH. Even I am a hater of web wallet concept, I am forced to use it.

The rest of the token and my ethereum are stored on myetherwallet.com, its somehow organized that I can store all tokens in one wallet. Same with waves token, one wallet for all tokens on wavesplatform.

yes i did it too, im storing my eth in that site, i believe that that site is safe because many of my friends are using it, they are putting their trust on that site too, they using it in their siganture campaigns that sending eth as the pay for the campaign.

Yes, this coin got a good potential to become the best altcoin in future. Now is the right time to start accumulating in small quantities and store for another one-two years. Surely we will see a huge jump in price and we can make some good profit from this investment. As of now, I'm still storing in the online wallet but thinking to switch to off-line wallet soon.

Storing your bitcoin or altcoins i recomend coinbase investing in bitcoin and eth but if you really a trader and needs alot of wallets you just create a account in a trading site like poloniex they almost have all the altcoins in the market and at the same time you can also trade them if you want while investing.

On the first I encountered ethereum it's sound like good to hear, that's why I try to study their background also the value and their ability and capacity. After I studied their status, I try to have a faucets that produce ethereum. And now I was hoping that their value were still raised up.

I bought a small amount of ETH recently and I tried to use their official wallet but well it is really taking sometime to sync, so I researched and I see several options.  Among them I chose myetherwallet.com, since I can also use in sending ETH token.  It is easy and convenient to use.

Myether wallet is good but it doesn't have a good security. If someone be able to access your private key and you will be over. I think mist or hardware wallet is best place to store our ethereum, ERC 20 token and ERC 23 token.

Im using this https://www.myetherwallet.com in all my etherium tokens transactions, very simple and secured enough even big amounts of etherium just make sure you keep your private keys and keystore in a more secure storage and you will got no problems.. 

Since I don't have much I usually store mine in the the exchange. I know it's "bad advice" but since I can't run a full node it's really my only option.

I store my eth coin online rather than pc wallet.

I just store myethereum in myether wallet. I feel securred for the long time Ive been using it.

Vaporware with no solid wallet  ;D

I now store my ethereum online on a  PARITY (https://parity.io/parity.html) and MY ETH WALLET  (https://www.myetherwallet.com/)moved away from the desktop wallets.. they just take too long  to sync and all that
plus ransome malwares like the WannaCry emerging which i believe could easily damage wallet backups i think i made a good decision.

I am using myether and I find that it is very easy to use. They give us the data file and also give us the privatekey. Keep them safe and backup it because one day you might lose them.

myetherwallet is the eaiest wallet I have used. The panel is simple, to send and recieve is easy to use. I am not storing eth before , put it in exchanger but after try my etherwallet I think I love it.

I'am happy because I have ethereum even their value for now is not too high, I cannot expect that this altcoins price were raised up in the market. I was continue earning ethereum because I'm looking forward that this altcoins were become famous in the future.

myetherwallet
Easy to use

I stored my ethereum in 2 wallets first is coinbase I use it few months ago when the coinbase listed ether in their wallet before I use exchanges site wallet and if the price sell direct selling. But storing altcoin in exchanges site is very risky because they have many senerio the trader hold their altcoin ti the site after few days the altcoin gone. I also use myetherwallet I transfered the 50% of my total ethereum in that wallet because I think that is more safe because you have only private key and you can open your account the hacker cannot open that because you can know only your private key because no one can know . Except to you.

Myetherwallet is the place i store most of my coins as it is really easy to use and since coinbase started accepting ether and litecoin i will be planning to store some to their wallet and majority of the coins which i am saving for the long term will be saved in paper wallet as i am not planning to move the coins for now.

Paper wallets + Ledger Nano S + Parity/Mist.

I'm currently using an online wallet www.myetherwallet.com.
and on the mobile platform,I using imtoken.

Just use this one: https://github.com/MetaMask

I personally use MyEtherWallet

my Ethereum wallet

myetherwallet is the best wallet. They provide everything that a cryto user needs to have. I highly recommend people using this wallet

myetherwallet with a Ledger Nano S (https://ledger.groovehq.com/knowledge_base/topics/how-to-use-myetherwallet-with-ledger) is the top solution at the moment

Into my etherium wallet so I can use for trade fast. But if I feel something wrong I choose to exchange my eth become currency ( $ ) and saved in the bank. Everyone have different opinion about where they save their eth, but it's normally. Keep your wallet pas and ID far away from everyone and always change the password every 1 - 3 month for safety. Have a nice day.

Doing paper wallet very similar to bitcoin. Then keep it in a secure place. Never share private key to others.

Paper wallets? I didn't think that you could make Ethereum paper wallets. Mind sharing the site/software?
Also, does anybody know of a creditable "light" wallet for Ethereum?

Yes that is the right decision, as I personally do not like to pass through different process for depositing and widthrawal of my Etherium. therefore  personally I also prefer to store my Eherium in online wallet that is really very convenient for me to use it.

i personally using myether wallet for  long long time, that is very earn y to create just need to have account in an exchange and you can do that in no time.

yes that is a good decision you just need to hold these altcoin and then you can really get a good profit. most of the people who earn ethereum or any other altcoin they just sell it do not wait or study the market either the price of these coins are increasing or not.

If you don't want to download ethereum blockchain and it times consuming, myetherwallet is really a good idea and simplest way to store your ethereum and you can backup your private key also export it to your wallet so it safe.

I use Coinbase.

They are FDIC up to $250,000.

Does myether have a copy of the private key to? If not then they would probably be a really good alternative to a regular node.

I use myether wallet as it is secure and they provide us with the walker file and we don't have to download the whole blockchain to start using the wallet.

like the others i save it on myetherwallet and save the private key just be careful because i not see any security to keep our account safe, only private key or maybe the other can give some suggestion about it?

This is the very reason i no longer use desktop wallets they are inconveniencing when you need them the most

By far the best wallet is myetherwallet (http://myetherwallet.com) because not only can use the wallet to store your ethereum

but other tokens like the new ERC20 tokens...which i use for my creditbit

I am also using the same Myetherwallet for storing ethereum and other altcoins which are runs on ETH platform, so this wallet is usable for other altcoins also and i am having the private keys so that i am having control on my wallet and it is very easy to use it online without downloading it .

Currently Jaxx, but again I don't have too much.

I use myetherwallet too, you have full control of the private key and may use it for ICO
