Title: Best Bitcoin hardware wallet and why?
Post by: mtwelve on February 10, 2015, 04:00:43 AM
I've heard mostly about trezor and ledger wallet, but what is your favorite and why? Might drop some dough to pick one up myself...
Please suggest more, so I can add to poll guys!

Trezor. Simple, safe, recoverable and no one has an "encrypted" copy of your keys lying around. Using an USB on the go cable soon you will be able to connect it easily and directly to your phone to send payments (secure mobile storage). It is also compatible with the new Electrum 2.0 that will be officially released soon (beta is live at electrum.org/beta).

Just be prepared for 3 week delivery time, its a killer.

I am not too fuzzy about the functions on the wallet, I look for something simple and secure. Price is a consideration - one of the wallets above is 3 times more expensive than the other  :-\

I recently bought a ledger wallet and I really like the simplicity along with a very high level of security as well. Its simple and secure to send payments and store btc. No one can steal your btc unless they have your usb, your pin number and your security card. The shipping time was also only ~3 days from France to Australia which is pretty amazing.

Most of people use Trezor wallet because it's known and really safe . It's little bit expensive if ask me tho .
Here is a list of the Hardware wallets : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=899253.0 , Some of them are under developement and will be available soon so you may wanna wait sometime before take any decision . Mycelium Card seems good it's in the Final test phase .
