Title: Many popular cryptocurrency wallets completely expose ur private keys in memory Post by: JuniAiko on April 05, 2018, 08:00:58 PM https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/86x2p7/many_popular_cryptocurrency_wallets_completely/
Title: Re: Many popular cryptocurrency wallets completely expose ur private keys in memory Post by: mpufatzis on April 06, 2018, 09:31:14 AM I think a cold wallet would be enough to increase the security. On one condition, to use an off-line dedicated computer for this reason. An old laptop would be perfect. Alternative you can use a Raspberry Pi as a cold wallet. It runs Linux you can run all kind of wallets you want and when you are finished, just remove the micro sd card and secure it in a safe place. It's cheaper than any hardware wallet.
Thanks for the share. Quite shocking how easy it is to pull off private keys. All the more reason to switch to a hardware wallet.

I think I would consider buying a hardware wallet because it doesn't look very safe.

Someone needs to create an easy-to-use multi-crypto wallet that is truly secure...There are a lot of security-centered blockchain projects, somebody create a free, easy-to-use, SECURE wallet app/program for multiple coins/tokens, even if its just for ERC20 tokens |
