Title: Which wallet is the best? Post by: CoNnorSensei on March 07, 2018, 11:09:19 PM Hello everybody, What wallet is the best? Physic or online? And what is the most secure?? Thanks to everyone!!
Title: Re: Which wallet is the best? Post by: cicciogas on March 08, 2018, 02:26:47 AM First of all, to answer your question, you have to ask yourself how much you want to invest/how much you have. If you think your holdings are much valuable consider buying an hardware wallet (the physic one as you said) like the Ledger Nano S (https://www.ledgerwallet.com/products/ledger-nano-s?gclid=Cj0KCQiAuP7UBRDiARIsAFpxiRIvz4rN4dqOmEaS0q6HtydM2KLLwtrzzQ_vQQ-QuVnxk3h8-C8KiTgaApePEALw_wcB) that cost roughly 95€ on the official site. The pros of having an hardware wallet is that hackers can't access it, since it's not directly connected to the internet, but in case of extreme bad luck you could always risk connecting it to a PC infected by malwares, since these can activate applications/processes without your acknowledgment. So this is the safest choice, but the price is also considerable.
The other option is to use software wallet (they need installation on your PC) like I do since I don't own too much, the first I used is "Exodus", very complete/simple to use. But lacks of variety of crypto you can store. Other options are mobile wallets like Eidoo (that I use) or Jaxx. They can store even ERC-20 tokens, it's something Exodus can't do. The fourth and last possibility is to use a web wallet, like Dogechain (to store DOGE) or Raiwallet to store Raiblocks, but since they have rebranded to NANO the site is changed, it's https://nanowallet.io . These sites allow you to avoid installing anything, since you will use an online free service. But be conscious that you MUST prefer sites that allow you to hold your private keys, so that only you have access to your wallet (in case you lose the password or the site gets hacked). Exodus and the other software/mobile wallets will allow you to take possession of your private keys, with a alphanumeric code or with a mnemonic phrase. Hope the answer it's clear. I'm here to learn too, so if anyone wants to correct something please feel free to do so. Title: Re: Which wallet is the best? Post by: yangchigi on March 08, 2018, 02:57:47 AM i think copay(bitpay) wallet is best.
that wallet service has not save any client key, and bip39 mnemonic use. Title: Re: Which wallet is the best? Post by: Spazzer on March 08, 2018, 06:34:54 AM I personally use Jaxx and BreadWallet for iOS. I use Ledger Nano S for cold storage. I think it comes down to preference as most wallets function the same besides the software.
Here is list of Hardware wallets I've put together. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3066531 Title: Re: Which wallet is the best? Post by: edhp on March 08, 2018, 07:04:29 AM Ledger nano s works best for me. At the end of the day it's you who will decide what's best for you but I would suggest getting a hard wallet.
Title: Re: Which wallet is the best? Post by: Minerfortyniner on March 08, 2018, 07:21:22 AM I use Jaxx, electrum and Bitcoin Core.
I would not recommend Bitcoin Core unless you have more than 200GB storage space. I like Jaxx because you can add several different cryptocurrencies. Electrum only supports 1 currency per wallet.

I dont know the security levels there but I wouldnt use it. Imagine, as an hacker, what would you try to hack first...a single person or a web server with hundreds or thousands of wallets stored.... Better keep it local....thats my opinion. Title: Re: Which wallet is the best?

I informed myself about hardware wallet and i saw, exept Ledger Nano S, also Trezor. Which is the best and most secure? Again, thank you Title: Re: Which wallet is the best? Post by: cloud.runner on March 08, 2018, 12:02:34 PM In my option, the best Bitcoin wallet is the paper wallet, which stores your private key. I have not seen a better wallet yet :)

Better keep it local....thats my opinion. You're right. Web wallets are obviously easier to hack BUT since you own your private key the account is always encrypted! This means when they hack and see the list of accounts they need your password or the seed to enter your funds. So always choose web wallets that let you own the private keys. Hope this helps.

Again, thank you I'm sorry but since I don't own an hardware wallet I've not reaserched a lot into it. Hope you will share the information you find so that I can learn too :D Title: Re: Which wallet is the best? Post by: shashikamal on March 08, 2018, 02:27:33 PM First of all, you should know that their are different types of wallets for different types of coins. If you have more bitcoin the most secured is hardware wallets, even you lost the wallet you can recover them back. As you know online wallet can be hacked & security wise it has a small disadvantage.
For ERC 20 Tokens MYETHERWALLET is most commonly used & best option for you as you can have the private key with you. Apart from that Mobile wallets are easier to use like EIDOO, For NEO based tokens (Neotracker, NEON), WAVES wallet is available for Waves Token. A wide range of wallets for a wide range of tokens. Title: Re: Which wallet is the best? Post by: Barry1974 on March 08, 2018, 02:41:52 PM MyEtherWallet is the best.
Title: Re: Which wallet is the best? Post by: Stedsm on March 08, 2018, 03:21:23 PM Hello everybody, What wallet is the best? Physic or online? And what is the most secure?? Thanks to everyone!! For Bitcoins, keep your coins in Electrum as I think it is one of the most secure desktop wallets (don't try to keep your coins in online wallets as they have a chance to get hacked any time). If you have a lot of amount invested in Bitcoins or even alts, try Ledger Nano S or Trezor (however, these can help only if you want them to be kept safe in a hardware if you don't trust any online wallets or even desktop ones). Buy Ledger Nano S here - https://www.ledgerwallet.com/products/ledger-nano-s Buy Trezor here - https://trezor.io/ You can also generate paper wallets online, print them offline and keep your coins safe in it. If you want to store your tokens (as if you get some ERC20 tokens through any bounties or airdrops), MyEtherWallet is the best option. Here's the website - https://www.myetherwallet.com/ Title: Re: Which wallet is the best? Post by: jhache on March 08, 2018, 04:07:58 PM The physic wallet you are referring to is known as hardware wallet. And hardware wallets are the most secure of them all. I can recommend Trezor and Ledger when it comes to hardware wallets. They both are trusted wallets and have been here for a few years now.

Even I would recommend Trezor when it comes to hardware wallet and can be trusted as well. When it comes to online wallets to trade or store a smaller quantity of coins than bittrex is one of them which can be used or blockchain just for storing btc. Title: Re: Which wallet is the best? Post by: pawanjain on March 08, 2018, 05:07:58 PM There are many varieties of crypto wallets that can be used to store cryptocurrencies. People use hardware wallets,paper wallets, private wallets, third party wallets etc.... The best one among them can be hardware wallet as it provides a physical hardware (similar to pendrive) which consists of a wallet that can store many cryptocurrencies. Some of the hardware wallets are Ledger Nano S and Trezor which are the best ones in the market. You can buy it online too but be careful about the site you buy it from as these days many sellers are scamming users buy delaying the delivery dates.

No. 1: Paper wallet. No. 2: Hardware wallets. (Ledger, Trezor, KeepKey) No. 3: Bitcoin Core wallet. No. 4: Software wallet. (Electrum) No. 5: Online wallet. (Blockchain.info) No. 6: Online exchange.

Title: Re: Which wallet is the best? Post by: Dudeperfect on March 09, 2018, 07:38:52 AM I believe that since Bitcoin/crypto is all about decentralization and transferring the values to the users, holding it in offline wallets is the bets practice. It doesn't make any sense to hold funds online as it is none other than supporting centralization. You can either go with cheaper option of paper wallet or buy reputed hardware wallets like Trezor or nano.

Thank you man. But which are the differences between Trezor and Ledger?? Which is the most safe? Title: Re: Which wallet is the best? Post by: MintDice on March 09, 2018, 06:16:30 PM Hardware wallets are a very secure option (especially if you're going to hold a lot of funds) because they are generally offline. Some of the top ones are Ledger Nano, Trezor, and KeepKey.
If you're looking for long-term storage of BTC, you can try a paper wallet which are also very secure due to being offline, as long as you don't lose it. For this, you can check out WalletGenerator or BitcoinPaperWallet. You can also use a software wallet like Exodus, Jaxx, or Electrum, but you'll have decreased security. You can install them directly only our computer, but require more maintenance in the form of backups. Hope this helps! Title: Re: Which wallet is the best?

hi! I think the online wallet Bitcoin archives have very high security, such as 2-3 layers of security (email authentication with newly registered phone numbers), or a feature that allows users to print their wallets themselves. to store in the safe. 2 most beautiful bitcoin wallet: Blockchain.info Coinbase Title: Re: Which wallet is the best? Post by: aceofspade on March 10, 2018, 02:15:09 AM I have to say Hard Wallets are the best wallets. I have been using Ledger Nano for a while and no complaints here.
Title: Re: Which wallet is the best? Post by: hd49728 on March 10, 2018, 05:56:04 AM It is hard to answer your question because which one is best wallet totally depends on specific circumstance and which purpose you want.
1. Online wallet is best if you want to have access to your wallet on many different types of devices (desktop computers, laptops on different Operating systems like Windows, Mac OS, Android devices, etc.). However, online wallet put you depends on wallet service providers and their platforms. They have to trust them. 2. GUI wallets are best option when you want to store your coins by yourself on your personal computers. With this one, you have to be responsible for your storage, have to secure your wallet information by yourself against potential attacks from hackers, etc. You have to periodically back up your wallets and another risk is health condition of your hard risks. When it broken (by accidents related to fires, water, etc.) you will probably lose your coins. Additionally, you should have good hardwares for using and syncing wallets, for Bitcoin wallet, you will need Terabyte harddisk to load Blockchain database and sync your wallet. 3. Paper wallet. This one is best option if you want to save your private keys/ bar codes at different places. Again, you have to manage your own risks because your relatives, friends, thieves can get your private keys and steal all of your coins. Wallet papers are also under higher risks of totally damaged by water, fire, etc. To conclude, best wallets depends upon specific objectives and situation of users. Title: Re: Which wallet is the best? Post by: JOoo12345 on March 12, 2018, 06:54:07 PM i think MyEtherWallet is the best,this is the new wallet bitcoin users use.
Title: Re: Which wallet is the best? Post by: O$IRIS on March 12, 2018, 07:25:14 PM It strictly depends on the crypto that you're trying to store. For instance, for my BTC holding I use Mycelium, whereas Jaxx can be used for swapping coins from one to another. As far as security - hardware wallets provide easy-to-use, secure, and convenient solutions for everyone.
I also have cryptosteel wallet for my long-term holdings. Title: Re: Which wallet is the best? Post by: Kopceak_MD on March 12, 2018, 07:49:43 PM It depends on how much money you have and how much you want to invest for a month, a year, two years, etc. If you want to mid-term 2-3 weeks or a month, it is better not to send to the wallet, it's best to do everything on the stock exchange. And if you want to long for more than 1 year, it is better to download the purse on the computer.
