hi !

i already own a few btc, i store them partly on coinbase and partly on the electrum wallet (static address/key)

(thanks for the previous advices of some of you btw)

i am also interested in bch, i want to partly store them on coinbase and partly on a wallet which allows the use of a static address/key, and i wonder if electron cash (apparently a clone of electrum but for bch) is trustworthy / safe / reliable ?
electroncash.org

i have seen that there is an apk (android version) on the official website, but also a version on the google app store (by "jonald fyookball" )

can some of you confirm that this wallet is trustworthy / safe / reliable ? (like electrum seems to be...)

thanks!

hi !

i don't understand something, and i find it quite bad for bitcoin reputation... or for the electrum wallet reputation...

the same day, the same hour, if i try to send the same amount (0.001btc) to the same btc address, using the electrum wallet or using the coinbase exchange, the fees are quite low with the coinbase exchange, but really high with the electrum wallet !

see :

to send 0.001btc to 19ZJTcMRvwd8LzFSebV22bBz57NNTsC22V

with electrum wallet, with min cost per byte, fee = 0.00339709btc = 27.17EUR

with coinbase exchange, fee = 0.00002066btc = 0.16EUR

why ?

what can i do to decrease the sending fee  ? this is not good !

alternatively, can you recommend another wallet (for android) where i can set the address+privatekey (like with electrum wallet) and also choose the fee (less than with electrum wallet)

thanks,

hi,

i am new to bitcoin, but i have some understanding about computers and programming...
for now i have an account on coinbase exchange to buy bitcoins
and i have a bitcoin address + privatekey generated on bitaddress.org

since january 2020 i have bought small amounts of bitcoins and transfered a little on my bitcoin address.

and nothing has been stolen so far, good

no i realize that the bitcoins on the coinbase exchange account are not really mine, in the sense that i don't own the private key for this address.

so my idea was to transfer most of the bitcoins on my own address (generated on bitaddress) (i store the address + privatekey offline)

however, if i do that, then how will i be able to then send bitcoins to others addresses ?

from what i understand :
i could use an hardware wallet, but if it breaks, or if i lose the device, then i lose the bitcoins ?
or
i could use a wallet app (on a smartphone), but if the app bugs or if i lose the smartphone, then i lose the bitcoins ?
or
i could use a wallet software (on a laptop), but if the app bugs or if i lose the laptop, then i lose the bitcoins ?^

hence why i have chosen to simply use a paper wallet (or rather just keep the address number and privatekey number, offline)

but then, how can i send some bitcoins to others addresses ? without having my privatekey stolen ? i don't understand that...

what i am interested in is how to securely store bitcoins, offline, but also be able to send some of these bitcoins, when needed...

(please don't warn me about the necessity to generate a bitcoin address / privatekey offline on a newly installed os, i already understand the issue)

thanks for the advices / tips
