This video only has ~700 views, how did you stumble upon this one? My gut feeling tells me you're somebody who is payed to promote this wallet instead of a "regular" user who is asking questions here (but that's just my gut feeling).

This being said: i had to turn off the video, all text is in korean??? and the voiceover isn't that good either (IMHO).

Upon visiting the website, i got a bad vibe... Why would anybody reputable try to start an ICO... People that start an ICO for funding give me the shivvers (personal opinion).
The page selling the HW wallet is only partly translated, the amounts are only in some currency i don't know (no idear how many USD or EUR such a HW wallet would cost).

I'd stick to a ledger or a trezor... They are cheap, made by somebody from the community and they're trusted.

I use wallet hardware to store my assets. nano ledger is my best choice because it can secure assets rather than having to use an online wallet but is full of hackers.

Where to buy the wallet? I found an article saying that the wallet is supposed to launch in the last June but I can't find details about it or where to buy it.

I also like the concept of the wallet and how cheap it is but I still would go with Trezor or Ledger. Why? because they have proven that they can always deliver (soft-forks, hard-forks etc..) the development is always very active etc. Not to mention that they are supported by major services and wallets as well.

They show the link in the description of the video the OP posted.
That being said: i wouldn't trust a company that hired people to join forums and post links to their video disguising an advertisement as a legitimate question (i have no proof, but my gut feeling tells me that's what happening here... I see no other plausible explanation why a new account would post a link to an unknown video that only has about 700 views).

I'm not saying this hardware wallet isn't good, i'm just saying that i personally wouldn't use it because i don't like the advertisement method, the website and i don't see an advantage over other, wellknown, trusted hardware wallets.

Kaiser Wallet is a new hardware wallet on the market today. I think it's cheap, convenient and easy to use everywhere. Besides, there are many other electronic money stores like Ledger Nanos wallet, Trezor, ...

Do you own one? Just seems a bit suspicious you joined the forum and your second post is made to vouch for a wallet that has been pushed by a newbie whose first post was pushing the wallet.

Don't get me wrong: i have no problems with a company opening a thread on bitcointalk in order to promote their product and answer potential customer's questions... However, i feel they should do so in an honest and open way, not by paying people to pretend being happy customers or people that have "accidentally" found this wallet and want to know more about it.

I definitely share mocacinno's concerns that this topic is just made to promote this wallet.
That said, in case it isn't, I would recommend going with an already established brand like Trezor or Ledger.

I have a Ledger Nano S and have been very happy with that for years now.
I bought it because the price/quality just seemed the best, compared to the Trezor wallets and I could easily ship it without additional costs to my country.

Paid around 80 Euros for it, shipping included.

Edit:

Here's an English video for that Kaiser wallet, should've just shared that immediately:

Post by: TessaFrackie on October 26, 2018, 10:27:43 AM
I used a Ledger Nano wallet. It's a popular wallet, money transfer and security settings are pretty simple and guide detailed. It can also store many other types of electronic money.

Better buy a Ledger Nano S or trezor. These companies are developing a device specifically for cryptocurrency and they have secure software.

Whereas smartphone software is easily cracked.

And buy it from the original vendor (NOT from eBay resellers, there are known cases of fraud involving them).

When I come to think about it, it is going to be increasingly more and more difficult for some new company to enter this market (of hardware wallets), since it is built almost exclusively on trust.

No am not using Hardware wallet yet but am very much working on how ro get mine as well.

I believed hardware wallet is one of the most secure wallet for all crypto coins if not the most advisable one out of all.

Post by: cc80aa on October 26, 2018, 12:38:23 PM
Not yet, but I look forwad to use it for my funds security because many major advantages over standard software wallet private key are often stored in a protected area of a microcontroller.

I'm currently using HODLER android and windows application while waiting for the hardware version they will release. Their wallet is propitious since the features they offer cannot be offered by any ither wallet. It is an opensource multiwallet software that can hold numerous kibd of coin and token. It offers simplicity and security at the same time.

Hello,

I d'on't use hard wallet for the moment but I'm thinking of it to increase security of my funds but in any case when I will go for it I will go for a trust one well known, not a new product without any real tests and people review.

The downside to using a hardware wallet is just one. And it is obvious. Under certain circumstances, it is very easy to lose your savings. Despite the increased security and exclusion of theft of funds, the wallet can be easily lost - it is small and simply dropped from your pocket without even noticing. You can also just forget the access password. The downside is that the wallet becomes independent and the entire responsibility lies solely with the owner, which is why no one can help you get the money back if the wallet or password is lost. The only solution to this problem is the backup function, but this action significantly reduces the security of the wallet.

Despite the increased security and exclusion of theft of funds, the wallet can be easily lost - it is small and simply dropped from your pocket without even noticing.

The device is just one way to access these coins.
Noone should use any wallet without a backup. And this also applies to a hardware wallet.

Simply backup the seed and you are fine when losing the device.



You can also just forget the access password.

Same applies here.. Simply reset the device and use your backup.



The downside is that the wallet becomes independent and the entire responsibility lies solely with the owner, which is why no one can help you get the money back if the wallet or password is lost.

This applies to every (proper) wallet.
If somehow you are not entirely responsible for your wallet (means: someone else can access it), you are using a really bad wallet and should immediately abandon it.



The only solution to this problem is the backup function, but this action significantly reduces the security of the wallet.

Everyone should always have a backup. Devices can break. Especially electronic devices (e.g. lightning strike when plugged in and running).
Using a wallet (doesn't matter whether hardware-, desktop-, mobile-, etc..) without a backup is negligent and will - sooner or later - lead to a loss of funds.

It seems to me that in the next 5 years hardware wallets will get a lot of distribution. But then they will be replaced by online wallets with a high degree of security and personal identification. Well, in any case, I think so. At present, I think the best hardware wallets Ledger and Tezer. Maybe there are wallets better, but these support a lot of cryptocurrency and constantly improve security. But overall, even an online wallet can be quite safe if you are careful and keep your keys in a safe place.

Hardware wallet has many advantages, safety and security, but I do not trade too much so it is not really necessary. Maybe I will use it when bitcoin and altcoin better

I did use. But I've had some problems. So I don't use any hardware wallet anymore. I am using paper wallet. I copied that wallet private key 3 times. And hide them a good places. There is no problem yet.

Yes, I am using a hardware wallet. I think hardware wallet is very secure. Now I am using Ledger Nano S for keeping my coins. Four months ago, the hacker hacked my all coins from my MyEtherWallet. After that time, I am using hardware wallet Ledger Nano S. Now I can understand that hardware wallet is best for keeping safe all coins.

we are using ledger hardware wallet and for almost a year now it serves as well. It's very safe and reliable, just dont loose it. Nowadays it is very important to have a hard wallet for safekeeping but online wallet is ok as well. We don't have an issue with it as well. Cheers.

No, I use online wallet to store my bitcoin. I heard many investors introduce it very well. Hardware wallets are well suited for bitcoin storage if you are having bitcoin in bulk. It can help you avoid hackers.


Title: Re: Do you use hardware wallet?
Post by: jrrsparkles on October 26, 2018, 04:46:09 PM
You can use hardware wallet when you want to store huge amount of crypto currencies for longer time the most reputable hardware wallets are Ledger Nano S and Trezor and others may not be safe until they got enough good reviews from the users.


Title: Re: Do you use hardware wallet?
Post by: pacman7331 on October 26, 2018, 06:00:05 PM
I am a user of hardware wallet which is really helpful to protect my assets from online hackers. Ledger nano is much popular among the hardware wallet users it keeps assets safe and others online money as well. hardware wallet is good to hide and protect assets and important information also.

Post by: Coinraptor on October 26, 2018, 06:12:38 PM
Yes, I have been using a hardware wallet for a long time. It helps me to make secure my earning money and my others online money. There are so many hardware wallets in the market but I like ledger nano most of its feedback really interesting. So to keep secure your assets you need to use hardware wallet.


Title: Re: Do you use hardware wallet?
Post by: Sinone on October 26, 2018, 06:22:50 PM
No, I do not use hardware wallet but I am thinking to use it soon. I heard it's really helpful to secure assets and online money from hackers and scammer as well. Trezor and ledger nano s is better as far as I know so I'm going to buy them soon to secure my assets.

I am not using, i did think about it but i have my own way for scurity. First of all i have 6 ETH and 3 BTC wallets and my passphareses and private keys in the safe in my house. I am trying to seperate my risks. Also i work with 7 biggest exchanges and i am keeping my coins there too.. I use google autenticator, SMS messaging and mail code at the same time. I believe that in the exchanges if you use 3 of them together no one can hack you, it is impossible.


Title: Re: Do you use hardware wallet?
Post by: InahC on October 26, 2018, 06:52:57 PM
Don't try to use wallet that isn't tested yet, because your money depends on it. I think you should try to use the well known wallet like ledger

If you truly believe it is impossible, you are wrong.

SMS and email are outdated protocols. Anyone can spoof / intercept / fake those messages.
And googles 2FA application isn't as secure as you might believe.


Also, even if YOUR account won't get hacked.. this doesn't mean that the exchange won't get hacked.

Do you remember Mt.Gox ? It was the safest and most secured exchange at that time.. But still all people lost their money. Nothing is impossible.

I highly doubt the security of hardware wallets. In addition to the fact that passwords can be forgotten or lost, in my opinion everything that is online is subject to hacker attacks. In addition, it is possible to verify the reliability of the hardware wallet only by personally checking it, and if it is not reliable, then the assets will be lost.

Its nice to hear great comment about Trezor, I’m also planning to buy this one to protect my coins since I’m just using an online wallet which is really not good in terms of security.

I don't believe anyone in this world. All people are very smart and all likes money ;D.

Yeah, we should not trust anyone in this market because people are too greedy nowadays, but if there’s no money involve its ok to listen to them some time. You have a lot wallet meaning a lot of coins to protect, that’s great. :)

I’m just using an exchange wallet right now, so far everything is good for me. Hard wallet for me seems more hassle, yes it can give so much security but I don’t have much money to protect. So I’m just hoping that the exchanges I’m using will be good for me. I will also try to buy hard wallet soon, hopefully more profit will come to me.

I'm using only application wallet to save and secure my cryptos since I was a new crypto enthusiast. I don't know what are those hardware wallet that possible to use aside from Nano ledger and trezor and I think this two types of hardware wallet is very safety to secure our cryptocurrency, token.

Right now I am not using any kind of wallet but have decided to use very soon. As a matter of secure my money and assets, I need to go for a hardware wallet. I heard two trezor and ledger nano S is well known in the market to secure and protect assets from the hacker. But I am looking for something new brand as like to use new a one.

I agree on this, when coin is used as part of your daily activity Ill be preferring to use an android application wallet than hardware. I still plan to have hardware wallet since I like holding but it is wiser to use an app like HODLER wallet which has retail mode feature to be introduced soon. Having a wallet app which offers good security will be enough for me, the app I'M using now can hold multiple coins which makes me ease the storing of my funds. Still prefer an open source multiwallet andtoid app since it is more convenient.

I want to use a hardware wallet, like Trezor wallet. because for me this is the most secure wallet for the assets and the best for all crypto coin. and it's still comfortable to use for all online sellers because this wallet is used to buy and sell at all. and someday I'll come there to really use a secure wallet.

First using an online wallet will be more flexible. you will not have difficulty entering the wallet if you forget to bring your hardware wallet but the risk of being stolen will be greater in the online wallet. risks such as scams, phishing, hacking and so on haunt you. unlike hardware wallet that are more secure

Never hurts to invest in security, right?
