Bitcoin Forum

i have searched some references on the internet regarding some wallet. But I sometimes do not believe in some reviews. So, I want to ask you which wallet is good and safe based on your experience.

for BTC I recommend Electrum (https://electrum.org/#home) and when you have a lot of coins please use a Hardware Wallet like Trezor (https://trezor.io/) or Ledger (https://www.ledgerwallet.com) to keek your coins safe.

for eth i recommend MEW

if mobile i recommend trust wallet

If you have free place on your disk just download full master node bitcoin core. Will be very helpful and security.

what is the size of the file? Gigabyte?

Around 200 gigs if I'm not mistaken. It's probably the best desktop wallet available if size and download time aren't primary considerations. You get to run your own full node too, so that's a plus.

Otherwise, you can't go wrong with Electrum or the more popular hardware wallets.

For me, I would give first preference to the Trezor wallet considering the user friendliness and security. I believe that paper wallet with multiple backup copies is a good option too but I don't feel comfortable after using it for more than 1 time whenever exposing of private key is involved. I use Web wallets for quicker transactions but never keep more than 5% of my holdings there!

Ledger Nano S is the best hardware wallet, use that

Please advise me simple in usage wallet in eth to register in ponzitrust game.

For ERC20 supported tokens MEW is best solution

I am using imtoken. It can be installed on your phone. It is an app. It support eth and all eth tokens. Another wallet I am using is coinbase. It is also good. You can buy btc, eth and ltc with credit and debit card instantly. It is fast and low fee. Hope this helps.

ETH and tokens ERC20 are mytherwallet

I second this, it also works great with MEW. Just have to get used to how it works.

Any hardware or paper = better than online.

From my experience, the Electrum wallet is the best wallet because it contains all the information you need to generate the bitcoin private keys.

My Ether Wallet is the best wallet ever, i promice ;)

Electrum, bitcoin core, greenaddress.

Also this one for the hardware wallet.

Choose your wallet (https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet)

If you want Ethereum wallet address i recommend to you, MEW or Myetherwallet, Its good wallet and best protect,, if you create eth wallet don't forget to save file UTC and Private Key. You also instal imtoken to check your balance,  imtoken or MEW also technology of ERC20, so you can get any token erc20 to your wallet address,, Good Luck and success to you.

i think the best is coinbase ! It is easy to use and even show u graphics of the evolution of Bitcoin per day . It is totally safe .

I like ledger nano. I advise you to buy. 50$ but is the most security product in the market. You can buy in amazon

Thanks a lot! I've installed imtoken on my phone - works fast and I want to believe that safety.

If you're planning on holding a large sum of crypto, you'll want security to be your biggest factor. For that, you can't go wrong with a hardware wallet like Ledger Nano, or Trezor. However, there are a lot of factors to consider when choosing a wallet, such as if you want a multi-currency wallet, or if you're seeking an exchange/wallet in one. We go over all these factors in our blog post, so check it out  :)

Hope this helps!

hardware= nano s

or just ETHOS!

i use hardware wallet Ledger Nano S

price $150/1

you try TREZOR or Ledger Nano S

Both are wallets using hardware. Very safe

I'm already using MEW & Coinpot wallet. I recommend it.

I highly recommend to you is Myetherwallet(MEW) for all Erc20 tokens and Ethreum base tokens MEW is safe as long as you have your private key.And some of my friends used it,mobile friendly,fast and reliable in any transactions.

For BTC I've tried Electrum.
For hard wallet I've tried Trezor and Ledger. Both of them work just fine. But I suggest you do some research before ordering one to make sure you purchase the original hard wallet.

You must try Trezor or Ledger Nano S. It's hardware wallet. Just like Flash Drive, easy to use and portable. If you want online wallet you can try Myetherwallet.

You can try it: https://www.myetherwallet.com!

Highly recommend imToken. Very intuitive interface and lots of extra security measures in place. Only shortcoming is that it doesn’t hold BTC.

Ledger Nano is the best for me

Hardware wallet - Trezor
Hot wallet- Mycelium
Best Overall- Paper (very risky-most should NOT do this)

There is absolutely no argument to be had when it comes to who has the best hardware wallet and that is Trezor.  I just got my Trezor Model T and it's amazing!  Ledger is garbage.  Trezor T has a one stop shop to do everything and it's simple.  Ledger's platform is in the form of apps, and it's difficult to use.  I'd personally never buy a hardware wallet outside these two.   (Some potential security issues with Ledger "man in the middle attack") ..either way you go only buy directly from the manufacturer.  I'm surprised we haven't seen fake Ledgers or Trezors from China yet, personally.

Paperwallets are the safest way to store bitcoin today, period.  HOWEVER...it is far too difficult for the vast majority of people to do safely.  By safely I don't just mean saving bitaddress.org to your desktop, unplugging your internet connection, as well as having a wired printer.  It's not that simple.  This option takes a tech savvy person who's done a lot of homework.

When you have to use a hot wallet..I really like Mycelium.  They make it very easy to upload paper-wallets, much more so than any hot wallet I can think of.  

I've spent a heck of a lot of time making sure this is all accurate info, talking to different "Mr Robot" types as well as testing this stuff myself. This is also for the most part echoed by Andreas Antonopoulos (guys if you don't know who this is you need to.  Check out his youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJWCJCWOxBYSi5DhCieLOLQ).  He really tries to avoid "promoting" companies so he'll say pick a hardware wallet and names a few different brands (normally both trezor and ledger w/no emphasis on either).  Also says the same thing I did about paper-wallets and mycelium.

It definitely depends on several factors including:

1. The amount of crypto in question
2. How the crypto will be used
3. User knowledge
4. Intended length of storage

There are many advantages and disadvantages of each type. We created a "Cryptopedia" which covers this exact topic:

https://midcrypto.com/pages/cryptopedia

It honestly depends on your preferences. If you're looking to store ERC20 tokens then MEW/Metamask is the way to go. If you're into more recognized tokens then I personally like Exodus Eden.

Browser/Plug-in

Pro: Though only available on Google Chrome, these easy-to-use wallets create and store your private keys on your computer and are always readily available.

Con: As with desktop clients, a web-based wallet is only as secure as the device on which your private key is stored. If the device becomes infected with malware, your key could be compromised.  Highly insecure.


* Examples and cost:

Myetherwallet: https://www.myetherwallet.com/ (Free)
MetaMask: https://metamask.io/ (Free)
Jaxx: https://jaxx.io/ (Free)

Or you could be smart and buy the most secure wallet by far which is Trezor.

Your wallet will depend on what coin you want to hold.  For me, Bitcoin I use Electrum, litecoin I use electrum-ltc, Ethereum I use MEW, online wallet I use Coinbase/gdax because ease of use and they are fdic insured. 

If you're committed to getting into crypto, just skip straight to a hardware wallet like a Ledger Nano S, or Tezor. These take a lot of the learning curve out of the equation, and in my opinion are a necessary step forward to consumer adoption. Simplicity is key, and these provide it.

What's the wallet that takes the least fees on money transfer?

I've never heard of a wallet that takes fees. usually the fees you are referring to are network fees (miner fees). these are non-negotiable. you have to pay them. You can pay a lower fee if you like, but you will wait longer for transaction confirmation, and if you pay too low of a fee, you might be waiting forever.

A ledger seems to be the best solution right now

for ethereum I recommand Mew + Metamask

Metamask is the best

I used MEW. So far its working fine.

Does bitcoin have an official wallet?? Like an ethereum for example.... thx

If you want Ethereum (also for Token) Wallet, i'm suggesting you to use MyEtherWallet. It's easy to use and safe if you also using Metamask, it will become more secure.

there is only one :

how many words are 5 images?

If you are a Filipino then Coins.ph would be the best wallet for you not only that it has BTC wallet, Coins.ph now have ETH as well.
1. Easy withdrawal.
2. Easy Deposit.
3. You could use to Pay Bills, Buy a load, and etc.
4. User-friendly.

Though, if not, I'd prepare Electrum. It's a little bit complex but it's easy to understand.

The best wallet so far, is blockchain.info wallet is well secured and it has a high potential security than any other wallet, couple with email notification, for varification, to proceed and to enable the transaction to be execute out, by having access to the internal wallet transactions.

I preferred using Blockchain Technology wallet and the site is know as blockchain.info is well protected in the community

I'd recommend Ledger Nano S that's what im using right now. Easy to use and secure as well  with a very reasonable price.

I prefer coinomi since its for multiple wallets..

I think for beginners software wallet is the best. Spending 100$ on the ledger for me was unnecessary extra.

but what is better?

then the best is the one, that is the most secure.  so for sure no app-wallet will work or do the job.

the best in my experience to use on the desktop would be exodus wallet is more secure and gives you several options of coins has its own exchange of coins and gives you access to private keys

why not Eidoo? is a great wallet and support all the  ERC20 tokens  and soon it will be integrated with BTC  too

I am using myetherwallet.com (MEW),I don't experience anything because I don't have Bitcoin yet in my wallet.For me this is the best wallet because this is what I am using right now.

Right now Im preparing my wallets in MEW and Imtoken for erc20 tokens. For other tokens, it depends on what is compatible so it will only be know what wallet to use after receiving the coins.

ok thx!!

I am using myetherwallet (MEW) I think this is the best for me.I don't experience yet Un necessary things I'd movement in my wallet that's why I think it's the best.

No.  If you're new to bitcoin and don't have the necessary skills to know how to properly create a paper-wallet than simply BUY A TREZOR.  Remember if you don't hold the private keys..you don't really own those coins (exchanges/hot-wallets)!  I've tried and tested all the wallets out there and none is better than Trezor.

If Trezor doesn't work for an Alt you want to hold, I'd definitely use a Ledger for those funds (though an inferior product).

I personally recommended i'm token. Based on experience it is a very good one :)

Mew is best erc20 wallet

Can I ask question about the wallet?how useful is it?i am a junior member and i dont have any idea about the wallet,can ask some useful information about it and what is best wallet to download,thank you in advance,God bless

First of all every currency has it's own wallet, So it's all depends what currency you are holding, So there is no universal wallet that can hold all the cryptocurrency at one place.

For BTC I recommend coinbase and eth definitely mew.
I often use Mew to buy ico, it is convenient.

You can join to us https://neuroseed.net
We have a lot of tokens with bonuses!!

Many others people used in different wallet but I used in the Ethereum wallet (Eth) I think it's the best wallet an for me it's the best wallet because of that it will be maintain proper safety,that's why it's the best wallet.

Best wallets depend on your requirement and coins which you are going to store.

Myetherwallet (MEW) is the best secure online wallet for ERC20 tokens.
Coinbase and blochchain.info are best online wallets for bitcoins.
Neon Wallet is best for NEO platform based coins.

The most secure wallet is hardware wallet. It very secure and easy to use.

You will find all answers in this great post:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1631151.0

BTW If you ask me I would recommend using MEW (https://www.myetherwallet.com).
You should install add-on for Chrome - Metamask and add there your wallet.
This wallet will be used for storing ETH and all ERC20 tokens based on its blockchain.
Cheers.

MEW is really great, it's so easy to start and check balances.

For Bitcoin I'd recommend Electrum. Or the full wallet (with optional pruning), v0.16.0 makes Segwit so much easier to use!

Coinbase and Blockchain are both terrible wallets for a multitude of reasons. If you must use a hot wallet I’d use Mycelium. Hardwallets are best for most yes (though nothing beats a proper made paper-wallet).

I would also recommend myetherwallet. combined with the ledger nano s it is very easy to use and you have a sure feeling.

if there is a swap or if the ico smart contract is changed, you can even do it yourself with a guide.
In addition, there are token that you can use as a vote (chsb).

I think it's the best and easiest way.

For Bitcoin - Electrum, blockchain.info. If you say about ERC-20 wallets, I want to advice Trezor/Ledger/Metamask way to save your ERC20 tokens.

i usen Metamask and MEW, thats the best one. But if you want more extra protection you can Buy Ledger Nano Wallet.

I will recommend myetherwallet for you.
Just google myetherwallet and register. Is really good and safe

Depending upon your cryptocurrencies and your needs(specifications and features), need to choose a wallet.

You can buy tokens in https://neuroseed.net and save them in any wallet!
Bonus is 30% now!

I vouch for Ledger Nano S too. - https://www.ledgerwallet.com/r/42f2

I use  metamask.best wallet

Yeah hard wallet seems to be most trustable.  I plan to buy one.

For my self according my experience, MyEtherwallet is best wallet for save Ethereum and ERC20 type token. But if for save NEO and NEP5 type token, the best wallet is NEON.

i think that is MEW . This is token ERC 20

Thank you, I will take note your advice. That's a great help for me.

I did the same question and after lots of diferents opinions a decided to buy a Ledger nano. you have to pay for it but you must think your money in it, it must be as secure as posible...

I also found this post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3429818.0
maybe can help you a bit more
gut luck!

For bitcoin wallet im using our local exchange cause you can exchange your btc into fiat in seconds. And for ethereum and erc20 tokens i will pick blue protocol cause MEW is having some troubles.

No matter how good and secure an online wallet be, the best wallet will always be the offline one. Most secure and only risk that lies is you losing your pc and not having a backup, which is dumb enough.

It depends on the currency. I usually use ETH, so I can recommend MyEtherWallet

There is no such thing as THE best wallet. It all depends on your goals. I usually use MEW for mid-term hold and MetaMask for day-to-day transactions. Exodus wallet is also good. But the main stash of you tokens should be held in cold storage(hardware wallets)! Something like Trazor or Ledger nano.

P.s. .. don't ever be lazy when it comes to the safety of your main investments! Always do the extra step and don't brag about crypto.

Well on bitcoin i prefer taking or try the block chain or the official wallet for bitcoin which is bitcoinwallet , and for ethereum try the MEW or the myetherwallet , the wallet that i narrate is a hundred percent safe and trusted by many users around the crypto world , so no doubt though.

And based on my experience? , since i'm new too on crypto world my friend recommend this wallet too , so i just preferring it you too. So good luck.

I use myetherwallet purse, quite convenient safe and easy to use

either metamask or nano ledger s at the moment, ETHOS is still speculation

* MyEtherWallet is best online wallet for ETH and ERC20 based tokens
* For Neo based token I use NEON wallet
* Coinbase and blockchain.info for btc

But the best and safest wallet is hardware wallet according my knowledge.

Hi yerger,

We have started a service where the community can rate their experiences of all the different wallets out there: https://www.cryptowisser.com/wallets/

We have listed 130+ wallets.

The most popular ones at the moment are Ledger Wallet, Xapo Wallet, Omni Wallet and Enjin Wallet.

Hope you find what you're looking for! Good luck!

All the best,
Cryptowisser

I use MEW wallet for Ethereum and tokens. Other cryptocurrencies also have their own online wallets. But the most reliable wallet - hardware, I prefer Ledger Blue. It is possible holding up to 10 crypto currencies.

I like the Eidoo Wallet for Erc20 Token. Privat key, easy to handle and works well for airdrop function.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of Trezor and Nano Ledger ? Which is better?

Thanks for the info, I use blockio I like the speed of internal operations.

Best wallet is a hardware wallet, in which you control the keys to.  End of story.  Nothing else to be said here.  If you don't control the keys to your wallet, GTFO.

Cold wallet where you hold your private key are best wallet

Advantages of Trezor:

• Simpler to use. All coins/tokens can be accessed in just one page.
• You can see all the address on the device screen before confirming.
• Has a password manager which is really good.

Disadvantages of Trezor:

• Has lesser coin/token support than Ledger Nano S
• Has only one computer inside. Easier to hack.

Advantages of Ledger Nano S:

• Has more coin/token support than Trezor.
• Has 2 computers inside, which makes hacking it harder.
• Has a casing that you can fold to keep it's screen safe from scratches.

Disadvantages of Ledger Nano S:

• Complex to use. You have to install each coin/token app to the device first before you can use it.
• Due to the limited screen size; when transacting, you have to wait for the address to scroll across the screen just to check the recipient address before you confirm.
• Though it has more coin/token support. You can only use limited coin/token at a time because the memory of the device is limited.

Conclusion:
Which one is better is subjective to your needs. I need features that can only be found exclusively on each device so I have chosen to use both. I use the same mnemonic seed for both so I can access the same wallets on both devices which make my life easier too.
I suggest you use the Trezor because of the handy password manager and you can access all coins right away.
I suggest you use the Ledger Nano S for long term investment coins, since it's a hassle to install/uninstall apps just to access every coin/token you want. And, it's not so friendly when transacting all the time because of the small screen size.

For bitcoin, there are several good wallets right now and they are Blockchain, Electrum, Coinbase Etc. For Ethereum I would recommend hardware wallet. Or you can use metamask with myetherwallet. The only myetherwallet is not safe anymore. you can lose all your assets. So, don't input private key in your smartphone to keep you safest.

I think best etherum wallet is Myetherwallet.It is very safe till now.It's protection is opt to you.Any one can't access if we care about our wallet interface.We are the only one responsible for it.

I have 3 myetherwallets for my altcoins, for bitcoins – blockchain wallet. My friend recommends  me to buy Ledger Nano S, I am going to do that.

Word of experience, ERC20 MEW is best solution

In my experience the best wallet safe and good is coinbase wallet i have now five years in that site without any problems and without any losing of my bitcoins by hackers

If someone else (CB) controls the private keys to your wallet, it certainly isn't the best wallet.

Unfortunately, until now there is no universal wallet for all coins. Such a wallet is not possible in principle, as there are new coins new ones appear every day.

I use MyEtherWallet for ETH and all ETH token, etherscan.io for view ballance.

For Ethereum and ERC20 tokens I use MEW and I consider it safe. For Bitcoin and some other altcoins I would use Hardware wallet like Trezor or Ladger Nano S.
Hardware wallets are the absolute safest way to have your property stored in cryptocurrencies. For new and lesser known coins I use a wallet for a certain coin, always with a password.

The best wallet ether-MEW.For bitcoin, the choice is greater.But the most secure wallet is Ledger

You can check imtoken App, this is the application I've been using and it has never messed up at least not yet.

Zebpay is trusty wallet, as I have used it myself and would ask you to do so.

Every wallet has its own good and bads. Each wallet has given its own benefits to some user that may not be good for you!

hard wallet is the most secured and greatly advised wallet as it is disconnected fro a long time from internet means like a cold storage but make sure to keep your device safe,other wallets very risky as you have to handle those wallet connecting internet.So,keep your pc and others device virus free

for bitcoin, i like http://blockchain.info/
for ETH, this is the best: http://myetherwallet.com/ ( you should use file JSON + your password)

I think MEW is the best wallet for ERC20 Type of token

If you want a wallet for bitcointalk then you can use electrum wallet it is useful and safe.

However the best wallet it can be but if you are a long term investor or do not trade it regularly and have some btc with you then the offline is the best mode to store your btc rather than keeping it on line. As if the exchange go hack you lose your money.

Now it is myetherwallet . Also Neo is a good choice

100% sure trezor or ledger.

I agree, there is no best wallet, everything depends on the one's needs.
That's why I created YT channel with wallet reviews, first one on the list is Copay and the possibility of setting up multisignature wallet from it:
https://youtu.be/jxOrhiA4Etw

Hardware wallets like Trezor and Ledger Nano are most secure and easy to use. You own your private key. They connect to Mew also, so you can store ERC20 tokens also.

You can give coinomi a try for your altcoins

For BTC, BCH, ETH and LTC i recommend Coinbase wallet. It is an established and dedicated cryptocurrency exchange and supported in more than 30 countries. They have helped over 10 million users transact more than $20 billion in cryptocurrency exchanges and is the industry leader for cryptocurrency exchange.  They have a great user interface that is easy to use.
