Best Hardware Wallet

[bigmo]

Thanks for all the insight - very helpful!!

Trezor is probably the best option. Keepkey has maybe nicer design but Trezor has wider wallet and service support - http://doc.satoshilabs.com/trezor-apps/index.html#recovering-funds-without-trezor-device

Also you can use Trezor with Satoshilabs Password Manager - https://passwords.mytrezor.com/
Recently they added FIDO/UTF support so you can use Trezor as a secure hardware login token into various services - gmail, dropbox, github and so on.

They also cooperate with Cryptosteel www.cryptosteel.com - which enables to store your recovery seed and private keys on indestructible open hardware backup tool.

Yeah, Trezor's look fantastic.  I've opted with a Ledger Nano S, as it also has Fido.  I'm not sure if it has a password manager though... anyone know?

I've been debating between Tezor and Keepkey. The recent "breach" doesnt impact the devices so im not concern about keepkey if I did decide to go with them. I been doing research on both. I do not have plans on using Ledger, though it looks very reasonable for the nano s but its still debatable.

Any reason why you're not going with the Ledger?  KeepKeys are backordered BTW.

I havent used one personally but before the nano s the other devices never looked very favorable to me, and never seem like it was secured.

Yeah, I can understand that.  I had the same apprehension with Ledger prior to the Nano S.  But everything I have read about the Nano S have been favorable...

Have you used KeepKey or the Nano S?

At the moment there is just 1 find trustworthy And yes it's the trezor.
Having played with cold storage myself having some luxery of software built in the trezor is very convenient.

But if you have not funds, ALWAYS store your bitcoins in cold storage.

I did go on and purchased a keepkey due to trezor pushing back the backorders til sometime in March. I may buy a trezor as well and use both but I will see when the time comes. I might hold off for their new device they talked about thats a PoC.

I think the Nano S has the edge now - love the design! Seamless all around...

what's your opinion on ledger blue?
Its a littttttttttllllleeee expensive when comparing with nano S and trezor...

I'm willing to buy a hardware wallet too but don't know what to do... trezor 2 will be available when? is it worth buying trezor 1?

They are shooting for Q2/2017 as far as I know for the Trezor 2. I guess it depends on how soon you want the Trezor on whether its worth it to wait for the Trezor 2. I'd personally probably wait for the release of Trezor 2.

Yes, just wait for the Trezor 2 release than buying Trezor 1.
It will be worth the wait as other features are being introduced
like faster processor, a micro-SD card and a feature they
called Trezor Core.

And what about the ledger blue?

[ThatRandom8543]

Something I think would be best for the Trezor 2 is if they had bluetooth. Probably would work a bit better for devices that cannot connect via usb (eg iOS base devices). Doubt they will implement it, but a guy can wish. I do like the keepkey but still feel limited.

And what about the ledger blue?

The ledger blue looks pretty nice but seems a bit pricey. It looks like a tablet more than a simple hardware wallet but it seems pretty cool you can have multiple apps on it. I'm not sure if I could justify the extra price over something like the Nano S though.

Hello everyone,

What would happen if I had some bitcoins in a Nano S wallet and someday ledger decides to drop the project. Would I be able to still use my wallet somehow if I had my seed?

Yes you can import it in a wallet which is compatible with that seed. I know electrum is, so you can restore your wallet through your seed in Electrum which supports BIP32 and BIP39. I am not sure but even Mycellium supports this, so yes there are a few options.
