Title: Bitcoin Core Wallet and Ethereum Wallet Post by: tt007 on September 30, 2017, 03:03:59 PM Hello everyone,
I will be simple and straight-forward: Is it safe to keep Bitcoin Core Wallet (https://bitcoin.org/en/wallets/desktop/linux/bitcoincore/) and Ethereum Wallet on the same desktop computer (which is at-home, behind a router and solely used by me) ? The computer should be pretty secure, as I am aware of methods to protect it (fresh os install, no other app instalation, installing an antivirus, using linux, updating regularly, etc). It will be running the latest LTE Ubuntu. Thank you.

There is no problem to have Bitcoin Core and Ethereum wallet on the same OS. The best is to use a computer dedicated only for your wallets. If you use it for browsing you can disable Javascript in your browser to add a little more security. Avoid using the root account as well.

Also, antivirus isn't really needed but it's better to be safe than sorry. And AFAIK there are no conflicts between ETH and Core wallet so you should be good.
