Having any remote connect enabled is a security risk. Malwarebytes pro has already let their users know they are protected.

WAVES support is not on the roadmap for any hardware wallet at the moment AFAIK

I just got my ledger nano s hardware wallet.
Im confused.. over 1 thing mainly.
I have written down my seed. And i have set up the wallet. But lets say i store Bitcoins, Litecoins and Ethererum. How does the seed recovery work for all the coins?
For an example if i had 50BTC, 50LTC, 50ETH.. And i lost my Ledger nano s.. How would that 24 word seed recover coins on 3 different blockchains? That is the part which confuses the hell out of me.
Is the seed actually universal across all 3 coins (can be recovered on each and every chain, on their most trusted wallet client)? Or does it ONLY work on Ledger wallets (which is the part im scared about, because that would mean its too centralized and i dont trust ledger servers with my coins).
Also do the ledger servers know my seed??
Try the Ledger Knowledge base at http://support.ledgerwallet.com/help_center or specific questions at /r/ledgerwallet on reddit. The developers are pretty active on that reddit. |

in my opinion trezor is safer than keeping coins on coinbase. and slightly safer than just running bitcoin core..
but it is not 100% fool proof, and the device itself does require some trust.
i agree, trezor is better than any other wallets imo, but i think the best one is just the paper wallet plain and simple. if you worry about security with the trezor, just switch to something thatll make you feel safer. I have read too many stories of people losing bitcoin by using paper wallets improperly. I wrote an article about it Bitcoin Paper Wallets Are Not Safer Than Hardware Wallets. I have never heard a report of anyone using a Trezor losing bitcoin. what are presently the supported currencies ? For Trezor: through wallet.trezor.io are Bitcoin, Dash and Zcash (t addresses only). Litecoin through Electrum-LTC and Ether/ETC through MyEtherWallet. For Ledger Nano S: native support for Bitcoin, Litecoin, ETC/ETH, Dogecoin, Zcash (t addresses only), Dash, and Stratis. Monero and Ripple are on their roadmap but not implemented yet. |

Not a good idea. They will discover you are using a VPN and lock your account. Probably best to just get your money out.

Seems everybody loves Trezor. I understand why. Case is very expensive but it does have the most features like biometric fingerprint scan.
Do not even think of buying a Case. They have not updated the firmware in a year and the fees used when sending bitcoin are too low. It was an interesting idea but they seem to have ceased development sorry to report. Stick with Trezor or Ledger Nano S. |

I gravitated to Trezor because it allows me to have "unlimited" hidden wallets without having to reset or use different SEED to do so. I especially like the idea of having a decoy wallet with a few BTC on it in case I am ever forced to disclose/open a wallet. There is NO indication any hidden wallets exist. Plus it works flawlessly!
I have trezor and didn't know about hiddent wallets! Also good for U2F to secure important email etc Read the Trezor user manual or Ledger Nano S FAQ to get the most out of your hardware wallet. |

Either a Trezor or Ledger Nano S will serve you well. If you like to carry your hardware wallet with you the Nano S will fit on a keyring and is proven tough. It takes two hands to push the buttons on a Nano S while you can use a Trezor with one hand. Personal preference I have and use both.

Hello,
If I buy online a Hardware wallet to store BTC, and then put some BTC that I own on it, will it be possible to anybody know that the wallet address of this wallet is mine.
This is assuming the BTC provenance is not in anyway connected to myself.
Thanks
Not unless they have some sophisticated software that analyzes the blockchain, and the bitcoin you own was bought at an exchange where you had to prove your identity. If you for example bought bitcoin with cash and sent to an address on your hardware wallet there would be no way to know that address was yours. The addresses generated by a hardware wallet are not linked to your identity. |

Does this ledger or nano wallet has a mobile version? Because i really am always on the go and currently my bitcoins were saved on a exchanger site which is really not good in ny opinion.
If you use an Android phone you can use Mycelium wallet. The Nano S connects to your phone with a short OTG cable and signs bitcoin transactions. |

I meant 0.5.... but anyways, i might have another seller for less
You wrote 0.05 BTC, which is why he said that you're lowballing him. 0.5 BTC is probably acceptable. These beautiful coins sold for 0.03 bitcoin two months ago. I know because I own one. 0.05 offer is not an insult. 5 oz silver has a spot value of $82 today.
Sold for 0.03 Bitcoin where? That is some first class bullshit. Directly from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1714608.msg17176789#msg17176789 price was removed from the listing but I can prove I paid NattyLiteC0in 0.30 same as the other 49 buyers. Decimal point misplaced in my earlier post sorry. Good luck with the sale! |

RSI is really overbought on the daily Bitstamp chart at 90. Last time RSI was 90 was back on January 3 the day before we had a $389 drop. $1780 was also an important Fibonacci extension.

Trezor and Ledger Nano S are the most well reviewed and trusted hardware wallets. If you plan to carry your wallet around with you the Ledger Nano S is pretty tough. Here is a video of a Ledger Nano S being run over and still works. |

Anything electronic can break. I have tried all the hardware wallets and I did have a Trezor go bad and was replaced under warranty. Trezor and KeepKey have one year warranties while Ledger Nano S has a two year warranty which is nice. Anyone who uses hardware wallets regularly normally buys a spare, so if the main wallet is lost or malfunctions the seed can be restored to the spare in 10 minutes. Ledger and KeepKey used to have a more secure restore process than Trezor but that is now not the case. You can restore a Trezor without typing the seed into host computer now. Hardware wallets are fairly equal now with Nano S and Trezor offering more altcoin support than KeepKey. Your 12 or 24 word seed can be considered a 'paper wallet' and needs to be stored securely, never online. KeepKey uses a fork of Trezor firmware. I prefer to use the original. Trezor can be used with one hand while it takes two to push the buttons on Ledger Nano S. On the other hand Nano S is less expensive than Trezor. I have not tried the newer Ledger Nano (the "S"), I was reasonably happy with the old Nano, but I felt it was not tough. I had the same concern with my Trezor, it seemed to be not strongly built. I have not used the KeepKey, it seemed too complex a product for a simple guy like me so I never bought one. What I do like now is the Digital Bitbox, it DOES seem pretty tough, much more so than the two above ones I used for quite sometime. It is a one piece (ex. for the recovery chip) made of tough epoxy. I use it for cold storage. Made in Switzerland. Costs something like $50. BitcoinNewsMagazine, you might want to get one and review it, I would certainly be interested in other people's views, here's their website: https://digitalbitbox.com/I took a look at Digital Bitbox back when it cost $120 and was not impressed. I think they dropped the price because it was not selling well. It is limited in comparison to Trezor and Ledger Nano S. Nano S are pretty tough here is a video of one being run over by a car and still works. |

Ok. I'll admit yours is better advice. I'm just not into hardware wallets for now. (My computer is essentially a large hardware wallet; but that's another story.) you can't trust your phone or your computer. I don't trust anything. A guy using the official wallet with passphrase protection lost 16 bitcoin to malware last week posted on reddit. I see these posts more often now. I can appreciate the reasons to run a full node but security of your bitcoin is not one of them until Bitcoin Core supports hardware wallets. Sure you can use Armory cold storage but that is not very convenient. |

I have a ledger nano and I've never been more happy with it.
Ledger is Cheaper than Trezor for around 20usd/Euro you can get the cheapest one.
And as some other said Even if it " fails some day" A Seed Recovery with 12 Words will restore the Wallet.
Ledger Comes with a Offline Security Card that is unique to the Device and it will be used to sign up Transactions, Even if you lose it you can recover it with the QR code inside the device Manual.
But, using the Offline Security card anytime is not recommended at all, since it has Fixed values It's Possible to be Vulnerable in the Long Run if an attacker decides to Patiently gather data with a keylogger ... But that's where the Android App is useful, you can Synchronize it with the Ledger Wallet and Double Verify transactions from it without using the card at all...
Thing is, I would rather use it as a Cold Storage/Buy and Hold. Since Every time it signs off a transaction it'll wear off a little since it's a NAND memory, so yeah eventually it'll fail and That's why it's not recommended to Micropayments.
The less expensive Ledger Nano and HW.1 were the original products by Ledger and are being discontinued when current stock is sold out. The new Ledger Nano S is superior in all respects. |

Breadwallet is as good as you can get for iOS. Just don't lose your seed.

I think $1787 on Bitstamp is the level to watch. I posted this chart months ago, you could have drawn it as soon as the $152 low was in. Also take note of the higher Fibonacci projections, traders will.  |
