Title: which ethereum (lightweight) wallet
Post by: sara8877 on June 10, 2017, 03:37:36 PM
hey everyone,

I need to make an Ethereum payment Monday so I'm looking for a good wallet.
I've made several attempts in the last months to start an Ethereum wallet and finally I gave up (took daaays each time and failed in the end).

I would like to hear some advice on which wallet to choose.  I'd need to make a payment by Monday, so if it needs to sync 2 days again I want to start today...

-is the official Ethereum wallet the way to go?  I tried with the GUI version, but had no success (even on a pc with ssd)
-exodus, jaxx?
-online wallets?  I need the wallet to make a payment for an ICO (Bancor) but the payment cannot come from an exchange.  So I assume it cannot come from (eg) Poloniex, but is Coinbase or CEX.io allowed?

I like Parity personally. The transfer on block feature is useful for automating the ICO process. Pretty nice interface as well.

thanks for the replies :)
so with myetherwallet.com, you can send funds to an ICO because it's a wallet and not an exchange?

INRI666: I hadn't heard about the ERC10 tokens, I have no idea what will happen if I transfer some money to the ICO for Bancor.  I assumed they'd contact me with further instructions?  Or will these tokens be sent to the same ethereum wallet?  Sorry, haven't got much experience with the cryptoworld , especially with ICO...  :)

Yes myetherwallet dose it job just perfect. I have been using myetherwallet for a long time and it is just awesome.

Be sure you have a clean operation system, generate a new wallet, save the file and/or the private key and you can make the payment to the ICO you want.

Myetherwallet is not an exchange so that address will be yours as long as you have the private key and/or the UTC file.

And how does MyEtherWallet compare (safety wise) to Poloniex, Kraken, Coinbase or CEX.io ?  I read  many people totally discouraging to leave any funds on Poloniex (which I'm doing right now)...

You can use myetherwallet for your solution, online wallet and lightweight and also support ERC20 token

Try myetherwallet, your problem will be solved beause this is the best wallet and mostly people use that wallet to store eth and other altcoins.
