1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / New Mac just for Crypto-How to secure from hackers? on: April 05, 2018, 08:58:08 AM
How do you set up your Mac?
external wallets on the way.
Which antivirus? Kespersky? Bit defender? It seems kespersky has more features for crypto security.
Should I go for the paid malwarebytes?
Virtual box is needed?
Should I pay also for the VPN?
Which vpn should I choose?
Do I still need comodo firewall?

What do you do? Please share so we can compare.

Cheap coins with much potential are: $LGO Legolas, $RKT Rock Token, $IPBC Interplanetary Broadcast Coin, $THETA Theta Token, and $DTA Data Token.

I am wondering if you can provide some reasons why you stated these?

I’m new to crypto...
I need the most secure set up.

I have a super freaky windows pc. I don’t feel good about doing any crypto on it at all. It has a good paid virus software, but it does what it wants..and does these windows updates that scare the crap out of me.
I have an IPad Air 2 also.
My plan was to use Exodus until the Ledger Nanos arrrive in the mail.
I was going to go and buy a new Mac just to put the exodus on it, but then I found out that I can’t put EXODUS ON IT.
Would Jaxx be okay on my freaky PC.
Then I also heard that If I want until June, I can get a newer Mac. Should I wait..buy a new one now..
Help!
How do you guys have yours set up?

It depends on what coin wallets you need.

 For example, if you own Komodo (KMD) all you need to access your coins is your seed key.  When using Agama with KMD you don't actually need the blockchain downloaded on your computer. Once you start Agama you have to create a seed key (think of it as a really long password).  Once your coins are in your wallet, you can access them from any Agama wallet as long as you know your seed key.  

 Also, if have a coin that requires you to download the blockchain, lock/encrypt your wallet (Don't forget your password) then transfer the coins to the wallet.  Once that is done you can back the wallet.dat file up and delete the coin wallet.  I suggest having multiple backups of the encrypted wallet.dat file though.  

Can you explain the Agama? Is it a wallet?

If you can afford to buy a new laptop so you should go ahead, but if not since you are in doubt with your laptop so better to format your laptop & install new windows on it. And there are many alternatives to Jaxx wallet, it depends on your coins/token which one you have. If you are holding Ethereum or any ERC-20 compatible token you can use MyEtherWallet or MetaMask. If you are holding Bitcoin you can use Electrum Desktop wallet. If you are holding NEO you can use NEO-GUI or Neon Desktop wallet. All coins I mentioned, for them you can also use Nano ledger as an alternate wallet.

I am so greatful for all your replies..yes, can you explain how to format the laptop and put windows on it? Definitely I need to do this...
I also will get a new laptop just for this so there is no issues...
Can you tell me...does a MAC also require virus software...like a PC.

Definitely it is clear keeping the coins in the online wallets is a terrible idea. Smiley

Can you tell me what is metamask extension and how do u know it is okay and trustworthy...?
I think I m going to need a bit more personal advice..trying to figure this all out.

Oyster Pearl PRL made me rich quick, as quick as 5 months.
I joined Signature bounty campaign since October and after few weeks I received my PRL bounty stakes last late november last year and then after 6 weeks the price surges from $0.0005 to as high as $4.8 so due to this surge I became a millionaire in my own local county currency.
I am one of the luckiest guy in Crypto World that became a quick millionaire in just 5 months from joining this forum and participating signature bounty campaigns as many as I could.

Congratulations on your success.... now the real question is what will you do next?  Seems the recent dip in altcoins gives you great entry prices on many cheap cryptocurrencies that are likely to rise throughout 2018. 
Choose carefully if you re-invest.

WOW! I have never seen such an active forum..how amazing!
Thank you for replying! I felt sad nobody replied..
I am new, but I gotta get this straight quick.
Like I said, my laptop is super shady..I do not trust it at the moment.
What do other experienced traders use? JAXX only?
Thanks a lot..means a lot to me!
Any advice on my laptop since it is super shady at the moment?
I do not want to do any one thing on it..
