It depends. Do you want a web wallet or a software wallet?

Glad that you ordered you Nano S already. Keep your BTC in a paperwallet until you can put them on your ledger. You'll profit from the maximal security and you're guaranteed that you won't get yor coins stolen during this month.

You can donwload Electrum and store your coins there securely. For more advanced security you can also create a paper wallet with it until you receive your ledger :)

My picks:
Bitcoin on Android | Copay, Mycelium
Bitcoin on Windows | Copay, Electrum
Bitcoin on iOS | Breadwallet

Ethereum | myetherwallet.com

But if you want a wallet that can store all of them, go with Exodus.io and download the wallet. It supports a good number of altcoins and tokens. Good move on purchasing a Ledger Nano S by the way. Best of luck.

Exodus doesn't support Ripple, is still under development

IMO electrum is better for bitcoin.
Myetethereum web wallet works great for ethereum.

For the meantime I recommend using mycelium wallet to store your bitcoins you can easily import private keys in this wallet using your smartphone for etherium wallet my personal recommendation is myetherwallet same as any btc wallet you can easily import private keys in this wallet very easy to use..

it's all depend on your choice
there are software wallet and web wallets,but i prefer to store it all in your software wallet.
because they need to hack your computer in order to get your coins unlike web wallets that only need your information.

the easiest and the best wallets for newbies to store their Bitcoin for me Electrum.
it's very easy to use,just use standard wallet for Bitcoin and you can use it.
not only it's very easy,it's also very secure in my opinion so far.
you just need to download standard wallet and then install it,just need for 5 minutes to do all of this and you do not need to download the chain.

for ethereum i prefer to use MyEtherWallet,it's very easy to use.
but lately many people using a phising email to get your information about your MEW.

for ripple i don't really know,
how about just download their official wallet ?

If you are willing to use mobile wallets try using Breadwallet (both iOS and Android), Mycelium or Greenaddress

But be aware of Bitpay on both desktop and mobile as they offer very high transaction fees and also Bitpay supports hardfork!

For Desktop, you can use Bitcoin Core (with pruning option that helps you to store just last 550 blocks but it syncs the whole blockchain and takes nearly a week to finish sync)

Electrum is the best secure option right now for desktop.

For ethereum and ripple there are no mobile wallets that offers private keys. You can use Coinbase or Blockchain.info wallets for Ethereum and Bitcoin at your own risk. (You can trust them but not 100%. Don't hold more than you risk.)

For Ripple, you can try Gatehub or rippex (it's a decentralized exchange and it can be considered safer than an online wallet)

I'm in the block mastery slack channel and I've seen people talking about this one here: https://www.ledgerwallet.com/r/8fd9?path=/products/ledger-nano-s. Does anyone have any thoughts on it?

Use a trusted local wallet that you can use to deposit and withdraw.

I recommend only software wallets.
I think currently best is Electrum. Easy, reliable, secure.
I would choose it. In past there were others as good as this, but not anymore.

For storing bitcoin desktop/hardware wallet are best.you can use electrum wallet for this.but for small transaction you can use blockcahin (on-line) wallet.I usually like to use on-line wallet.
As a newbie you can read about the wallet from here https://bitcoin.org/

There's no single best wallet to use. It depends on what balance you want to strike between convenience and security. I can provide you a few resources to help you make your decision.

  • Choose Your Wallet (https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet)
  • Hardware Wallet Comparison: Trezor vs. KeepKey vs. Ledger Nano (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_LcJ3ccV4s)

If you have specific question about any one wallet, post here again and many of us will help you!

I don't know about ripple. The best wallet for ETH is myetherwallet. For bitcoin you can use any wallet that gives your private keys and a good security.

You should use btc because its possible that if you invest on bitcoin the value will increase and that is not a bad deal at all Eth doesnt sound bad at all but if you withdraw or payout you should..is a must use bitcoin to secure process but dont rush payouts because if the increasing value look for the right time

i recommend you a coinbase wallet because it allowing you to store ethereum and bitcoin in one wallet but except ripple.or try to use coinomi wallet, i heard that coinomi wallet are supporting a huge number of alt-coins and even tokens, so you can try it as well, ive never been try to use coinomi wallet before because i dont have any alt-coin and token to store in coinomi but if i have i will totally use it.

Newbie or not I would recommend to start right away with a cold/paper wallet, please google the term and get acquainted with it.. there are of course easy to use wallets but they are NOT safe. USE COLD STORAGE


Title: Re: WaLLET TO USE - NEWBIE????
Post by: Deathstroake on September 12, 2017, 09:02:26 PM
Coinbase is the best option to store bitcoin as it has the best security ..
And i use Myetherwallet for storing other altcoins

It depends on the purpose of the wallet I suppose. Almost no one uses full core anymore. Most of the time of this some type of software wallet there's only about three or four that choose from. It's not that hard to decide and I think that you just need to give it a little bit of thought and look at the advantages of the different ones because it's up to you which one you use.
