Bitcoin Forum

i’m about to invest in a bit of bitcoin as well as other cryptocurrencies such as eth, ltc, etc. I’m thinking about making a wallet on a usb drive for a start. i’ve read about electrum but need something for all my crytpocurrencies.

I would recommend this project https://miralab.io/MIRA_Technical_Specifications_for_platform_development.pdf. This looks like a good solution for cryptocurrency savings.

best affordable hardware wallet (offline) is the ledger nano wallet s. u can store most known alt coins beside btc.

You can have hardware wallets but use myetherwallet you will have the keys and the files so its basically a little bit of a offline wallet. You are the owner because you have everything.

They can't access to your wallet because they don't have your keys and stuff.

one more multicurrency wallet?

I fyou can share which currencies you are going to store i will try to share my experiences.
I use Waves Lite wallet. I have private keys so its offline for me :)

These guys took it a bit further. You download a file with your money, and then it’s off chain, completely anonymous and secure.

It is kind of intimidating that people want me to get their currency, but to do it I have to perform a full scale quest "where is the wallet".
I usually ignore coins that do not have wallets or offer only online ones, or have wallets with UI from early 90th.

there is no wallet that can support "ALL" the cryptocurencies. because they are very different from each other and most of them don't really need a wallet because nobody uses them anyways.

your options are:
- to buy a hardware wallet like Trezor which supports multiple cryptocurrencies. but that will cost you money.
- to use light wallets like Electrum (there are forks of Electrum for many altcoins such as LTC) or any of the similar multiwallets like Jaxx (but these are not very good, for example Jaxx had bad bugs in the past).
- to use paper wallet which  is generating a private key and printing it on paper. like this one: https://walletgenerator.net/

I think trezor is also the best offline cryptocurrency wallet. It supports multiple currencies such as bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin, zcash, dash and many more.
The trezor uses highest level of security against phishing. I am not devaluing electrum, just suggesting trezor wallet as i have experienced safety.
This hardware wallet can be managed not only with desktop but you can also connect it with your smartphone

Thanks mates. Looks like there's nothing that supports both eth and btc out there, which, let's be honest, would be convenient  for crypto newbies like myself.

I like the paper wallet generator though. Will think about it. Again, my main concern is that you need a lot of paper for multiple currencies.

I would’t recommend any wallet that combines multiple cryptocurrencies. They tend to be way more insecure. Bitcoin and other alts have their own wallets.

If you are looking for that kind of thing, i think ledger nano s is the best choice, it can store erc 20 based token alongside with bitcoin and a few other coins, it is safe but the downside is you have to buy it first. It's not expensive if you treat it as a security measure for your investment.

But with mirabox you can store lots of cryptocurrencies in one file. You put it on a usb drive or send it to someone, there’s no record about it anywhere. And no commission.

I've actually looked into a couple of hardware wallets or offline wallets wherein you can store Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Trezor is one of my top list as a hardware wallet I wanted to buy but I realized it is only limited to a couple of coins so the next on my list is the Ledger Nano, a couple of my friends are using this and it is way cheaper than Trezor and I think stores more coins than that of the Trezor one and decided to order one for myself but still haven't got the package yet.

A hardware wallet is what you need. The popular brands you may want to consider are Ledger and Trezor, the cost is less than $100 for the basic model.

THe hardware wallet seems to be a recomended choice for you, or you can try to download the multy currency wallet just like coinomi and jax and then you can try to turn your mobile phone off.
YOu already made your own offline wallet.

Everyone suggesting here hardware wallet to have the multiple cryptos. I am not sure that any desktop wallet which supports all the digital currencies. Trezor and ledger nano good to have the bitcoin till now in the hard ware.
I wish some wallet like bitcoincore, electrum or multibit to comes with the all the digital coins.

thanks. the cheaper version might be worth it. looks pretty straignforward. usb drives tend to be very losable though 😏

I will suggest myetherwallet as it supports a lot of tokens. Other than ETH tokens, you have to see if the coin provide a offline wallet and what are the options in case of you want to store multiple coins in same wallet. I dont think many options are avaiable if you are looking for this type of online wallet.

As it as been said before, the ledger wallet is currently the best solution.
I wouldn't recommend to try new thing before it's been validated as a strong and secure tool.

Do you happen to know why the price difference? I couldn't find any clear advantages of Trezor over Ledger. Hope it's nothing to do with security. Would be interested to know how it goes with yours when you get it  :)

The idea of MiraBox does sound better than owning a hardware wallet. Shame they haven't released their product yet.

There's a simpler, wider question here, how to store multiple crytpo online?  Currently I'm looking at adding range of holdings and one thing putting me right off is having to handle multiple wallets, and holding on exchange is not an acceptable risk.

Does the mentioned Mira project cover this?  Is this a gap in the market?

Mira covers offline sending and storage for multiple cryptocurrencies. Doesn't seem like any online solutions will be able to compare with cold storage in the nearest future.

NEVER trust this kind o projects. You can't put your funds into one new thing which is not trusted!

Always be awake while using new wallets. If you have online ones, try to make sure they're trusted ones, especially for coins other than ethereum and ers20 tokens.

It feels like it's better to put your trust into a technology rather than a group of people. We are trying to create a technology that will make it impossible for us as a company to have control over users' private data. We would be glad if you could read about our software to form a decisive opinion https://miralab.io/MIRA_Technical_Specifications_for_platform_development.pdf.

There is no doubt that myetherwallet, or the best WEB-end wallet software, not one, though sometimes very card.
On the hardware wallet, in fact, I tried one, not very useful, but also in the BETA stage, not the official version, experience a little worse.
Maybe you can experience JAXX wallet?
