Post by: GoldenView on April 08, 2018, 02:00:39 PM
Coinbase is great for little bit transaction.
Coinbase to coinbase Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum & Bitcoin cash sending full free. No fees at all if you use Email address for transaction.
I like coinbase.
What wallet you using now? And What about it?

Coinbase is not a wallet. It's simple: "If you don't own the private key you don't own your bitcoin";

If you really want to keep your coins safe, use a proper wallet for each of your coins.

Electrum (https://electrum.org/#download) for Bitcoin
Electrum-LTC (https://electrum-ltc.org/) for Litecoin
Electron Cash (https://electroncash.org/) for Bitcoin Cash
MyEtherWallet (https://www.myetherwallet.com/) for Ethereum

I am not using any wallet for keeping my bitcoins. My holdings are scattered over different exchanges so as to increase the security.

I personally use a Ledger Nano S[1]. No regrets on this purchase whatsoever. Security should always be a priority.

I really don't suggest using Coinbase as a wallet. Only use Coinbase as a way of buying btc/eth/ltc using FIAT money, nothing else. If Coinbase decides to lock up your account or if ever they get hacked(hopefully not though), you're screwed.

I recommend a safe hardware portfolio: TREZOR which always have the size of a key ring.

Coinbase isn't the most secure option you could choose--
Hardware wallets like Trezor or Ledger Nano provide much more security against hacking or theft.
If you hold your crypto in an exchange, your private keys are in the hands of the exchange, and they have the responsibility for the safety of your cryptocurrency. It’s usually a good idea to only keep a small amount of crypto on exchange wallets that you plan to trade. Otherwise, if the exchange is hacked, your cryptocurrency could be stolen with no recourse available.

Hope this helps!

true
coinbase is only an exchange where to buy cryptocurrencies
you get your coins and they are stored on a wallet that you don't own, so it is best to store the coins in a wallet that you own and you are the only who knows the private key

When I was newbie, I used Coinbase as my main wallet. But now I'm using Coinbase just to receive payments from faucets. I think Coinbase aren't bad service to receive and send lot of small transactions. But it's not recommend to use it as your main wallet because you don't have full control of your coins there. When I collect bigger amounts of money I always send it from Coinbase to my hardware wallet.
I would advice to to buy hardware wallet like Trezor or Ledger Nano S. Currently I use Nano S and I'm satisfied with it. For ETH and tokens I'm using MyEther wallet. And on mobile I have Coinomi wallet app which supports many currencies.

Really not a good idea. You're taking unnecessary risks here. Sure, the likeliness of an exchange locking up your account or getting hacked in general isn't too high, but storing your funds on multiple exchanges increases the chance of you losing some of your funds. Purchase a hardware wallet; I can't stress this enough.

I recommend a safe hardware portfolio: TREZOR which always have the size of a key ring.
Or Ledger Nano S which have have the size of flash drive.

If you're holding anything significant, its best to have a hardware wallet or at least a Desktop wallet (that's hopefully secure as well).

Which altcoin support on TREZOR? And I knew from google that TREZOR is a Hardware wallet. So Has it any software wallet? If, please recommened.

I'm currently using MyEtherWallet for ERC-20 tokens, NEON wallet for NEP5 tokens and Electrum for BTC.

I am using My Ether Wallet as well, very satisfied so far! Very straightforward wallet.

I am also using MyEtherWallet. But its support ERC20 token only.

I use Jaxx for BTC and Trust wallet on iOS for Ethereum (+tokens). Trust wallet works great and has a built-in DAPP browser.
