What is the best and safe wallet?

Hardware wallet e.g. TREZOR  8)

Hardware wallets are best and high security wallet use Ledger Nano S or Trezor. If you can't spend money for a wallet you can use desktop wallet like Electrum or Exodus.

Print it on plain paper. Make few copies. Put it in some cold storage or somewhere where you think you'll be safe.

Many sys that hardware wallet is best, but until now I'm still using online wallet and didn't have a single problem

I think the best wallet for me are coins.ph, myEtherWallet, and blockcain.info. Because any of this is friend user and easy to use.

For me the best and safe wallet is coins.ph. Because coins.ph has been tested by many people and they trust it.

coins.ph is a great service, sure. But it definitely isn't a good place to store your bitcoin. Choose wallets where you have complete control over your private keys.
Here are some posts/articles that would hopefully let you decide against those online services:
Bitfinex hack - Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitfinex_hack) | The Inside Story of Mt. Gox, Bitcoin's $460 Million Disaster (https://www.wired.com/2014/03/bitcoin-exchange/); Don't let history repeat itself.

To OP: Read: [General] Bitcoin Wallets - Which, what, why? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1631151.0); it should contain pretty much everything you need to know about wallets and the advantages/disadvantages.

Paper wallet is probably the safest one but it's only good if you want to store your coins for a long time. After that comes all the hardware wallets, personally I use a ledger nano s. If you don't want to pay for a hardware wallet then check out Jaxx or Exodus.

I use Ledger Nano wallet.

I prefer hardware wallets (I use a Ledger Nano S). It generally gives me a better sense of security and it's still really convenient

i think you can ledger nano s as far as security is concerned. it won't cost you much. easy to use and good interface

xapo, coinbase, blockchain, ... and a lot more but the most safest is hardware wallet ( your PC ) ;D

Any wallets are only as safe as you are. I would usually recommend keeping coins offline in a physical hardeare wallet like a trezor or ledger nano etc but sometimes these are not the best options for a newcommer to bitcoin. If you're a newbie with little knowledge I would actually recommend blockhain.info. You can either use their web wallet or download the app for your phone and it's basically like Paypal but for bitcoin. If you set up all the security features such as 2-factor authentification and a second password/pin it is very safe. In fact, there's actually more security features on the blockchain app/website than there is on either my paypal or online banking accounts. Just remember to write your recovery seed down and keep it safe so you can still restore your coins even if you forget your password etc but also take note of my very first sentence.

Thank u for your valuable advices..

I just heard about blockchain and I'm exploring myetherwallet purse, here we can contain many different types of tokens

I use Blockchain.info and coin-base wallet. Both are convenient and security level is good. But I want know any private key wallet like myEtherWallate for BTC ?

Myetherwallet also called as MEW wallet is one of the best wallet as it also support eh ERC 20 tokens as well. Just keep the private keys safely and it should be all good. On the other hand block chain just support the BTC and ETH coins. Their security is also good and has the 2FA available which is very important for any wallet.

Hardware wallets is the best (Ledger Nano S, Trezor etc...)

How do you think about Copay?

As said itself, Copay is a true bitcoin wallet, not an account service. Secure your personal funds with multiple signatures, or just one.

Is there any other hardware wallet cheaper than trezor or ledger?

I suggest you to use Electrum. It is very easy to use even for newbies, you don't need to download the whole blockchain and its team always works hard to release updates. Also, it has its own subforum here on Bitcointalk where you can find all the support you need: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=98.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=98.0)

myeatherwallet and wavesplatform  :)

Today first I am hearing about this wallet.the best and safest wallet is desktop or hardware wallet.you can also use mycellium wallet in your android mobile phone.

First of all you should own some crypto for storing it in wallet.
But if you haven't crypto money then what's the difference where to store :)?

Paper wallet, hard wallet, or software wallet like Electrum. There you have an option of cold storage

Given that I follow basic internet safety and sanity and keep my antivirus up to date, how safe is a regular software wallet? I'm very new to this bitcoin business and has only a very modest amount invested into crypto currency.
It feels like a bit of an overkill to invest in a hardware wallet that will cost more than the content, at least at this point of time.

You should to change what cryptocurrencies you are going to keep. For BTC i recommend check this https://bitcoin.org/ru/choose-your-wallet .

yeah hardwallet sure. but what if you lose it. Is it safe to say we need a triple backup? Online and cloud that's not being held by anyone? USB for encrypted files?Backup system is really essential

Here, I'll be recommend hardware wallet. Thus, It's a risky business leaving your money on an exchange. There is a better chance of you getting. I recommend moving it to another wallet like which control over private keys or pass phrase.

You should use Ledger Nano S to store and store offline. Now, coinbase and blockchain are also very safe. Dear!

I think no, Trezor and legder nano is great to use it and the best and safe hardware wallet
I recommeded this wallet to store you all coin.

for btc core and electrum will be best. for eth mew is best.

I use coinbase and blockchain wallet.. and it's pretty good. You can try this wallet.

How expensive are wallets usually? Which wallet would you say is the best cost to safe ratio?

Hardware wallet: Ledger nano s
it will be recommended, the price so little friendly. i think it's the best wallet to store your funds. but, keep secure your seeds.
Online wallet: blockchain
it is the best online wallet. it will be more secure if you use blockchain.
but i don't know what kinds of cryptocurrency that you want to save. i just suggest wallet above to store your bitcoin. for altcoin wallet, you may try coinomi.

you can use electrum or core wallet to hold your btc in desktop wallet.

Must use ledger nano especially if its big amount. And might as well put some in other wallets like Coins.ph, coinbase or blockchain. For now, I use coins.ph to easily get funds for emergency and for basic buy and sell btc.

First post, might be off topic so sorry.  I tried to send a dollar as a test to a bit address out of Coinbase and it looked like the fee was fifteen dollars. Did I do a calculation wrong?

Google it, top bitcoin wallet or ethereum wallet, but also carefully save your privat key on btc usb

Ledger Nano S is a very good coin and it let you hold you private keys. Also trezor is a very good one too.

my ether wallet

jaxx for all

for me  ::)

I suggest wallet that you hold your private keys. I use  Coinomi for coins and myetherwallet for erc20 coins. You can also try other wallets they suggest and it's up to you what wallet is easy to use for you.

electroneum maybe the best. blockchain also good to save your crypto. indeed, every wallet has various security, MEW secured by private key only. it is good to save your token and ETH. but, dont lose your private key, moreover to give it to another. you will lost everything that you put on your wallet.

Nothing is better than paper wallets. But Ledger and Trezor are good.

You have a choice of several that are safe. Here are a few of which you have to choose from. Trezor and Nano Ledger S are hardware wallets and are worth a certain amount. The Trezor is priced at 99 $ and Nano Ledger S 65 $. Then there are free wallets like Electrum, Coinbase, Jaxx and MyEtherWallet. For me there is a Trezor and I use MyEtherWallet.

Put electrum on a portable support (USB) , write down your seed on several piece of paper, remember it in your brain and you'll be fine. It is very safe and also very reliable to use.

I see the Trezor and ledger are swelling way above the MSRP.  Any idea where they go for at the above prices,
?  Thank you

Sorry, some one experienced player here can explain me "Dekstop wallet"
Where it is locked to?
I mean its locked to only my PC?  If i install it in my PC, and my PC brokes, whats then? GG for coins?

Paper wallet, Hardware wallet-KeepKey, Software wallet-Jaxx

Imtoken and MEW are doing fantastic and safe

Paper wallet is probably the safest one but it's only good if you want to store your coins for a long time. After that comes all the hardware wallets, personally I use a ledger nano s. If you don't want to pay for a hardware wallet then check out Jaxx or Exodus.

hi,  so i have 'x' number of bytecoins online.   How do i save them to a desktop wallet or hardware wallet and does the wallet  have to support that coin. if yes.. do i have to exchange the bytecoins to another currency say Ethereum in the case of trezor h/w wallet? and then save them to the wallet.
cheers
Geoff.

Myetherwallet is best.

How can you keep offline your coins???  ???
Since you have a public addr you can't hide it...

Where am I wrong?

Any amount that you really don't want to lose you should store on a hardware wallet. I recommend trezor.

Hardware wallet for sure. I am having Nano S Ledger, it’s perfect.

For me the best wallet is Blockchain. I using only this one and i can really recommend it for you. Perfect for newbies because is ease to use and has small fees

I use bitcoiner.

read this amazing story. It's a huge thrill

https://www.wired.com/story/i-forgot-my-pin-an-epic-tale-of-losing-dollar30000-in-bitcoin/

[now spoilers, in case you haven't read yet]

the point to the story in this thread is, even a hardware wallet can have vulnerabilities. It's still very safe, as the glitch was fixed in the following Trezor update, and anyway it required the hacker to have physical access to the wallet. But they're not perfect.

So you you want to be really paranoid, use 2 wallets from different brands and put half of your coins in each. Since the softwares are independently developed, it's unlikely that both would be compromised at the same time

and use a fireproof safe for the seeds

Probably any offline wallet, I have for myself a Trezor and works very well never problems.

TREZOR all the way.   By far the best in terms of security IMO.  Only wish it supported more coins.  I keep a Ledger for the ones Trezor does not support yet.

How about MyEatherWallet? I have heard it is one of mostly used. is that true?

As what I have heard.  Coins.ph is the best wallet.  I am new to bitcoin and I already registered coins.ph and it is very reliable.

When I was surfing the internet, I found below mentioned. Hope it will be helpfull.
"Hardware wallets are a good choice if you’re serious about security and convenient, reliable Bitcoin storage. The three most popular and best Bitcoin hardware wallets are:
    Ledger Nano S
    KeepKey
    Trezor
"

I think blockchain is the safe wallet for bitcoin and Ethereum. Beacuse i also use this wallet and coinbase. You can try that wallets. Even coins.ph is best wallet. This wallet also try for saving coins.
Thank you...

This is a tossup between hardware wallets Trezor and Ledger...

Hardware wallets are a good choice if you’re serious about security and convenient, reliable Bitcoin storage.
The three most popular and best Bitcoin hardware wallets are: Ledger Nano S, KeepKey, Trezor

I use myetherwallet for all my altcoins, and also keep a TREZOR

Best and safest wallet is cold storage wallet, paper, Trezor or Ledger Wallet Nano.

Depends on which coins you want to deal with, if you are using multiple crypto-currencies  then it is best to have a seperate wallet for each one like My Ether Wallet for ethereum, Mycellium wallet for Bitcoin and so on. Just make sure you handle your private keys securely.

coinbase, blockchain, xapo, ...  but the most safest is hardware wallet 

I prefer paper wallet. can store coins for a long time. next is hardware wallets. (Nano Ledger s, Trezor ) after software wallets (Exodus,jaxx ..)

i have use myetherwallet for along time since i came in this crypto world and i did not experience any kind trouble like scam and hackings. i would recommend this as safest and best wallet. as my opinion.

I have the same question. Is Blockchain the best purse?

I think the best wallet for me are coins.ph, myEtherWallet Because any of this is friend user and easy to use.

I use myetherwallet, coinbase, xapo

One of the best wallets you can get is an offline one or a cold wallet as well. These are the ones that will secure your money offline and it will be disconnected by possible thefts.

Your question should be answered by a pinned post, but I guess it's good to earn from sig campaign spam?

I use myetherwallet, i think it safe enaugh...
