Secure my altcoin?

[Viviyang]

Hello ,

I have been mine for a few months already,

For the moment my etc / eth / sia are stored on my exchange platform

Etc / eth by kraken

Siacoin at polionex

Is my corners safe on these trading platforms?

Or is it more wise to store them on wallet installed in my hard drive?

cordially

If you are trading this coin daily then it is ok if you have kept coins in this exchanges if you are not a trader then better keep all coins in desktop wallet and when ever you are going to sell just transfer them to exchange and sell it, because no exchange can be told about when they will scam or anything happen in future.

Also, their are new hardware wallets coming out like the Trezor 2 and Jaxx Hardware Wallet. These should protect many of the popular alt coins.

I prefer storing my coins on my desktop I had a lot of pos coins and I stakes some of them to mint new coins,only store coins on exchange if you are going to trade it,but store and stake your coin if you want your coin to generate or mint new coins to your desktop it's more safer and secure.

I recently had a bad experience keeping my coins on an exchange - the other day I needed to do an exchange as quickly as possible unfortunately Kraken was completely down for over an hour and I lost a significant amount of money.

I don't normally keep my coins on an exchange - but did in this instance in anticipation of this particular trade.

In general hardware wallets are a great choice - although it can be difficult with a rather large portfolio of alts. I personally keep my coins on an encrypted CentOS laptop, which has been locked down with iptables to only allow outbound communication with the relevant networks.

^ Might be overkill though - depends on how much you are looking to secure.

For ethereum classic, I can not install the mist wallet on pc, error.

any error has a reason and can be fixed, consult the wallet creator to find a fix. it may even have a simple solution. the links are usually in the site where you download the wallet.

I can use the web wallet?
I saw who has jax,Which one is best?

as long as you are not the one holding the private keys, or generating them with a legit wallet you are taking risks.
also it is always preferred that if you want to store large amounts always do it in a cold storage (generating the wallet/keys offline)

Most people here are saying the right thing related to this question and storing them on exchange wallets arent safe at all as we all know even those top or reputable exchange sites have the risk of getting hacked which means are coins arent safe too and also you could always store it on your desktop wallet its the most better option.
