Title: Safest way to store counterparty (XCP)?
Post by: lyth0s on November 10, 2014, 12:23:00 AM
What is the best and safest way to store XCP? Are there any good reliable wallet software other than the counterparty.io web wallet?

I'm very very new to XCP so any advice is greatly appreciated!

Giving away a 0.01BTC tip to whoever helps me the most.

I'm in the same position as you. I expect you know you have to download the whole bitcoin blockchain to use the standard wallet. The only alternatives I know of are the web wallet you mentioned and the armory wallet described in the article linked to below.

If you're comfortable using Armory, +1 for the recommendation above.

If you're just interested in long term storage and don't want to setup a full block chain dedicated laptop then you can just buy some XCP and transfer it to a paper wallet.

The post is specific to LTBCoin, a CounterParty asset, but it applies equally to XCP as well.

How about a paper wallet?
