Title: Altcoin Storage
Post by: sportadz on February 24, 2018, 08:02:46 PM
Hi all, I have ordered a Ledger Nano S because it can store about 50% of the altcoins I am looking to purchase.  However, in terms of the other 50%, can anyone advise the safest way to cold store them, ideally with another type of hardware device?  How easy would it be to use an old laptop that I have noting that it is about 10 years old...! Specifically, the altcoins I am referring to are as follows:

OMG
Golem
EOS
Monero
IOTA
Cardana
Siacoin
ILC
TRON
Cypherium
DeepOnion

Any help or a steer would be much appreciated.

If you want to use your old laptop, then you can download wallets of each coin, so you will hold their blockchain on your device. But you will need to have enough disk space. Otherwise you can try another hard wallet, called "Trezor".
