Title: How Do You Choose a Token Wallet?
Post by: DavidBooker on May 23, 2018, 11:12:22 AM
Are you ready to buy some ERC20 tokens? Before you do it, you need to decide where you will store them. Navigating through numerous wallets can be challenging and therefore, based on our experience at assetrush.com (http://assetrush.com), we have decided to give you a brief overview of the most common ones.

First of all, you should answer some questions about your future wallet:

· Will you use it to make everyday transactions or to buy crypto for investment?
· Do you need your wallet to be at hand regardless of where you are?
· Should it have certain specific features such as complete privacy and security, great interface, etc.?
· Do you plan to store lots of different tokens and coins?
· Do you want an easy visual way to keep up with the rates of tokens you have and other altcoins?

Having answered these questions, you’re ready to consider the pros and cons of the wallets we have examined.

Final Thoughts
When choosing a wallet, be sure to think about the aforementioned questions, as they will allow you to clearly understand what you’re looking for and thus, narrow down your choice. Carefully examine the pros and cons of every wallet you’re considering and don’t forget that any article about wallets has a healthy dose of subjectivity, so the final decision should ultimately be yours.

Jaxx seems to be laggy last couple of months

had to google the answers by myself

I'm surprised that you didn't mentioned MyEtherWallet (MEW) which are most popular. Is there are any specific reasons? I use MEW and so far I'm happy with it and I haven't looked for alternatives so far.
I tried Jaxx in past but if I remember correctly they supported very limited number of ERC20 tokens. Maybe situation had changed now. And in past Jaxx had security vulnerability, so it's not recommend for bigger amounts of money.

We didn't forget about MyEtherWallet. The reason we didn't write about it is because it's extremely popular and widely used; we wanted to examine some alternative wallets.

For every token it is go with the respective wallet provided by the one who develop the particular token. When the same is an ERC-20 token it is good to go with the myetherwallet. With every wallets hacking and other ways of scams were happening, but I feel it to be more secure than many other wallets that support tokens.

As for me the best choise for anybody new here is MyEtherWallet. It's friendly to use and the most common wallet across the cryptocommunity
