Hi. Depends on which altcoins.
I personally use MyEtherWallet which supports ERC20 tokens.
Use one address for your ERC20 tokens and ETH, backup your private key and addresses. Your money is only as safe as the steps you take to protect your digital wallets and the systems you access them through.

Coinomi is one of the best multi Support coins wallet which support many reputed cryotocurrency but can say what the altcoins to store then the people can suggest you the best wallet.
MEW is another option if your coins is based on ERC20 but you can't store litecoins or BCH in MEW,so you need to select the right wallet for your coin.

I am using https://www.myetherwallet.com/ for all ERC20 tokens.

It is very safe and secure if you keep your private key safe. User friendly and easy to use.

Well if you're storing ERC20 tokens the best wallet would be Myetherwallet. Why? because all tokens in ERC20 are ethereum based and you can perfectly store them in that digital wallet. Just don't give your private keys away.

Certainly it depends on which altcoins but i prefer if your coins ERC20 supported is Myetherwallet because its safe and very popular to anyone it is ethereum based and its functioning well. But dont share to others your private key to avoid hacking be aware always

Best way to store altcoin is Core wallet from Dev of their coin! But you must backup Wallet.dat file or Private key and need have a times to sync wallet before sent coin to exchange or other wallet!

MyEtherWallet was the most popular altcoins wallet which is an ERC20 compatible to support all tokens. Use this wallet specially if there are more coming new coins and tokens from your new investments or campaigns but better you will use the wallet provided by your chosen exchanges so that you could do trading instantly reducing transaction fees which is required every time you need to transfer your coins from wallet to exchanges.

I also use  https://www.myetherwallet.com and I really like it. If something is not clear, I'm helped by YouTube. In addition, it is easy to withdraw funds from it - to the exchanger and after 5 minutes on the card. So, I recommend. The main thing is, do not give anyone your secret key and everything will be all right.

The most secure method to store ERC20 coins is paper print with your address and private key from MyEtherWallet. Also you need to backup wallet.dat file on different devices.

MEW is undoubtedly the best storage for tokens on the basis of ERC20. In addition, there is the possibility of authorization through your Trezor or Ledger that significantly improves the security of your wallet.

You can download the purses of all coins that are not supported in Tresor and Ledger nano S on the USB flash drive. Then transfer this information to a computer that has never connected to the Internet and will never be connected to it. Create offline transactions there and transfer them via a USB flash drive to a computer that is connected to the Internet.

I like MEW for ETH and my ERC20 tokens, Jaxx for Dash/LTC, and Blockchain.info for BTC/BCC.  Still looking for a good wallet for monero.  Any suggestions?

MEW : myetherwallet by the way. It is very popular but I can not say anything about its security I believe that it is secure
For Jaxx it became usefull in last 6 month with cooperation of shapeshift. It seems quite good.
For blockchain as far as I know it is safe

I have been using MyEtherWallet for some time now to store both Ethereum and any of the ERC-20 tokens that I either purchase or obtain through ICO. It is pretty secure in my opinion as long as you have chosen a good password and are senseible enough to avoid phishing scams. You can add another layer of security with metamask if you choose.

MyEtherWallet is the best for ERC20 tokens for sure. I recommend that.

The question of safe and unsafe for the wallet for me depending on the negligence we use, if we are not careful Yes definitely not secure our wallets. but the current reply to me more pleased in any Myetherwallet karna Myetherwallet. I think it's safe to our wallets.

If you can buy another trezor and ledger nano s wallets then buy some so you can store more other Altcoins because I really think that it is more safe to store on an offline or a cold storage wallet than most of website do, But if you don't have funds to some more of these wallets I really think printing out paper wallets and store it in a physical vault can guarantee safety from hackers, Well that is the only way I can think of because I am using ERC20 wallet for my tokens and a mobile application wallet for certain Altcoins that I have invested with.

To secure your altcoins if you using MEW in the first place you just have to import you private key on metamask so that all your tokens and funds will be transferred in the metamask. Metamask is a secured wallet which it can detect suspicious site like phishing and hacking accounts and if you want to use hardware wallet use ledger will be worth enough carrying all your funds in your pocket

I think with trezor or ledger nano s already fairly safe, yes I guess it will be safe. or you can add MEW wallet, I never had trouble with the wallet. all this time all went well and fine. only, sometimes experience a little disruption in the transaction. besides, everything is good.

If the altcoin you want to hold or store for long term investment is not supported in your trezor or ledger nano s. better to use the official wallet for that specific cryptocurrency for better security of your coins but you will have to download the whole blockchain with that so you can also use multi asset wallet as an alternative. i will recommend using coinomi, jaxx or exodus.

Hardware wallets have very limited altcoin support.  You will basically need a software wallet.  I do like Coinomi as it also allows you to exchange via Shapeshift or Changelly for range of altcoins.

Post by: konfuci on January 29, 2018, 06:36:48 AM
I have been using MyEtherWallet. Exodus, Agama, Cryptonator, Jaxx, and Coinomi are also some of the best wallets for altcoins. Waves light for waves based tokens.

There isn't a hardware wallet that can meet such the demand anyway. Myetherwallet looks like the best in the net wallets, especially for the ico tokens. It can use for others such as hardware wallet, paper wallet, etc. The security issue is a big problem in the crypto world.

I'm still hesitant on hardware wallets for fear of losing the thumbdrive.  I'm sure I'll eventually go that route though.

Today, the more secure wallet are hardware wallets like Trezor and Nano S. They both quite popular and Cryptocurrency millionaires are currently using this hardware wallets because typically, crypto keys are saved in those device only and there would be no digital keys will be saved in any computer or cloud storage in order no one could see it or if someone hacked your computer, your phone or your cloud account, they will not get your digital keys or in any form that they could access your wallets and assets.

You'll be at peace of you do save your keys into the hardware wallets because that's what Cryptocurrency millionaires do around the world.
Is just like a literal wallet on your pocket but this time all of your assets are in that wallet.
As a holder of $30,000 plus of crypto assets, I world definitely get my own hardware wallet before someone could get into it.

The most secure option would be to download a software wallet for every altcoin you own, run them on your private PC/laptop, and store your wallets there. You might want to backup your wallets to a flash drive or external hard drive in case of complete destruction of the PC. And of course, your wallets would be safer if you treat your computer very wisely regarding web browsing, p*rn watching etc.  ;D
