Bitcoin Forum

I did search and found several threads on this topic but still haven't located a direct answer.

I currently have small amts of the following tokens: BTC, ETH, LTC, XRP, DGB, WGR, Waves, XEM, DOGE, SNT, XVG, BTS, MAID, SCL, BCN.  I'm thinking about purchasing the Nano S as I'm currently storing in the exchanges which I know is heavily frowned upon.

Question
1. What are thoughts on Nano S vs Jaxx vs Exodus
2. Will Nano support all my above coins
3. Are exchange storages really that bad i.e. Coinbase, Poloniex, Bittrex

Thanks in advance

Both Jaxx and Exodus are great wallets. Do not leave more than you're willing to lose on the exchanges, as you do not hold the private keys. Should the exchange go down permanently, you'll be hooped.

Thanks for the reply.  Agree on risk.  All the different wallets can be hard to manage which is a huge problem.  I'm hodl so maybe I'll just convert to btc and eth.  I have a few options but do wish there was a one size fits all wallet.

Much appreciate the educated response.

I think there are quite a few options now depending on whether you are looking for hardware or software wallets.

hardware: Nano S and Trezor are good buy. They support quite a number of coins, only thing they are expensive
Software: Jaxx, Coinomi (Android App) are good wallets but again reliability cannot be same as hardware wallet. You can use My Ether wallet for all Ether based tokens!

Great advice!  Thanks much.  I think I'm going to order the nano.

I have been using this altcoin multi-wallet for time to time and I think you should give it a try, www.free wallet.org . it supports  multiple coin, but if the coin you want to store is not yet listed on www.freewallet.org, you can as well request for listing @ www.freewallet.org/vote/ voting is free and it doesn't require registration and you can also search for the android wallet at Google app store

Trezor is apparently the most secure hardware wallet, but Ledger seems to be a little more active with dev

Get the Nano S it is great. It does not hold very many coins but new ones are getting integrated all the time.

I advise you to use Ledger Nano S. because it is guaranteed security
Not sure
Yes exchange storages are bad, especially poloniex >:( i have bad experience with polo . My Account was hacked then i send ticket to polo support but till now now respon
So that's why i have suggest you to use Ledger Nano S hardware wallet

Yes the exchanges are bad. There are multiple scenarios where you lose. They go broke, they get hacked or the government takes them over and controls all the funds.

I have my $$ spread all over the place. Because of that reason I use keepass password manager and have a note in there with a list of all the wallets that I have and what is held in there. Along with things like waves (that should be staked) and a few shares of a masternode.

This note is for if I should suddenly die that my family (who knows about the list and the masterpassword) would be able to access the funds

Yeah use online wallets and exchanges for cpnvenience, but don't use it as storage for your coins. U can use both ledger and trezor which are easy to use and secure.

Nano s is the hardware wallet and that was much better than joxx or exodus. This based on the security measure. But this time nano just support some of the coin that you've already mentioned above.
The exchange site mean the 3rd party and that will not good to keep your money in there.

I would liquidating most of your coins and getting a Nano for Ark, Bitcoin and Ripple.

I like to use exsodu because in using it quite easy and for exchanger I like is bittex because the choice is very much and the movement of coin also support

coinomi also you can use. This wallet holds quite a lot of coins. and if exchange I use coinexchanger and bittrex. :)

as offering different option with the multipe coins as the single wallet the chance helps of nano/micro users to keep on contrast as the nomina valuation as receiving with the use of one with the fiat money of decision that for bigger sums of saving those might not help to much.

I think it is better to use light/mobile wallets, the keys to which you want to store on a normal flash drive. In hardware wallets I think it makes no sense.

I used myethereum wallet and waves wallet this two can support multiple alt-coins in any different platforms even accept bitcoin.

for number 3 I myself use the exchange to store a lot of altcoin I have because I think it will be much simpler and certainly easier when you want to sell the altcoin you have, but the lack is from security, you will not have a private key, and doesnt high security

I am not that familiar with hardware walletsor web wallets but if you are Android phone user then I want you to try Coinomi because it supports a lot of coins and also supports Dapp. I am currently using this wallet and having no issues with the app. I would not suggest you hodl your coins in exchanges because based on some feedbacks about storing coins in there will cause you trouble if something would happen. So it is safe if we have our own private keys right? Hardware wallets are best in terms of security and privacy though expensive.

As I know there are couple good hardware wallets do this but not really for software. People suggest others to use hardware so I guess hardware wallets are very secure.

Guys, I recently went all-in on VERTCOIN,
it is going to be the next 10x/20x coin soon!

Do your research... Look at the charts...
only 1$ now! and it will go to the stars very soon!

You can thank me later...  ;)

Just go for myetherwallet which is best in the world for now. The have almost support for every altcoin you name it.  :D

The most serious part about the myetherwallet is? You get the keystore file as well as private keys in your own possession and you can have the complete control of your wallet. The risk of your wallet getting hacked decreases by many times and you can use it anytime you want without any fears of loosing the token as you would do with exchanger. They are bad at handling your money and can fluctuate with regulations.
