How are you storing your ethereum?

[Truthchanter]

The regular wallet (mist/geth) took up 20gb the last time i tried it and either has to be running all the time or takes hours to update to use (from what i remember)

Any alternatives, especially liteweight, out there besides just storing them on exchanges?

You can use Parity, and prune the chain. you will have access to a fully functional node with less blockchain size, with some limitations.

Or fetch for some ethereum lightwallets, but you won't have any RPC or console possibilities as it is the point of lightwallets.

If you just need to store ethers, you can use Exodus or Jaxx.

I store them using MyEtherWallet which is a great mix of security and ease of use. It is an open-source lightweight client requiring no synchronisation. Simply the best Ethereum storing method out there, hands down !

myetherwallet
Easy to use, and does not take up space on the computer)

[Ale88]

But MyEtherWallet is only online, right? And if happens something to the website? Will it be possible to get back the money?

[enhu]

myetherwallet.com is so great that you can store different kind of tokens which is why this is also what I'm using. I'm storing my GUP, ICN, EDGELESS and Xaurum in myetherwallet. I will also add some Taas TOken later once its available in the exchanges. What I like so much of it is that you can use it offline by downloading the zip file of it.

Why using that hassle wallet while theirs myetherwallet existing? Just listen to the other suggestion since this wallet can assure that you wouldn't get pain in the ass if you want to transact you eth as soon you would need it but you need  some extra balance for gas up.

But if you want to store in exchanger well much better if you separate your eth and don't put all you have on one basket.

Rule of thumb: forget about 'web wallets'.

I'll say it again: do not store your coins on third parties' servers. This practice goes against the core idea of a decentralized currency and puts your assets at risk.

Always store your coins on a device that you personally own and control. Your least secure option is to use a mobile wallet. There are many mobile wallet apps on the market, but I won't recommend any of them because they inherit all the security flaws of the underlying platform - be it iOS or Android.

A better option is to use a desktop wallet (assuming you're using a Unix-based operating system, i.e. Linux or macOS). Check out Exodus - it's a clean, lightweight, cross-platform wallet app that handles ETH, BTC and a bunch of other assets.

The most secure way is to use a hardware wallet such as Trezor or KeepKey.

Biggest problem at the moment are Ripple, except GateHub I didn't find anything else...

I've never heard about Exodus, I'll do some research about it

Yeah, I'm actually seriously thinking about getting KeepKey!

[davhek]

My ether wallet and if you have trezor you can add an aextra protection with it.
For me myetherwallet is the best

You can use Jaxx or Myetherwallet if you're worried about space and like the features that they offer (several coins, several gadgets (chrome extension, mobile apps, etc.). It is relatively safe (I believe that you're only 100% free of external interference using hardware or paper wallets). Do some research and give a try on what suits you best.

Come on guys, do you even know how www.myetherwallet.com even works? Do you know what a client-side wallet even is?

https://www.myetherwallet.com is a nice CLIENT-SIDE (javascript) wallet.

You have to have the wallet.dat on your PC for it to work.
If anything happened to the website, nothing would happen to your wallet.

It's very good if you do not want to download the whole blockchain on your PC and be able to access your wallet from everywhere.

https://www.myetherwallet.com doesn't actually have any of your wallet's information, because it's client-side.

They do however hold a copy of the blockchain so that you don't need to download it.

You might be right on myetherwallet.com. I was talking about server-side wallets.

This is what I use as well, it is easy to use and secure enough if you don’t have a lot of funds so you may try it if you like opener.

im using an online wallet for my eth, its safe i thinkg because of the site securities and I believe its safe because my friends are using the same wallet like mine, they are completely trust this wallet like the way i did.

[kolloh]

I only ever kept mine on an exchange as I wasn't ever really pleased with the ETH wallets. Trezor does support storing ETH if you have one and would probably be one of the better methods of storing it.

[crypto.classroom]

Coinbase has been working out fine for me and I trust them to a degree.  I do not trust them on some things that are important, however. I am speaking of privacy. I am also speaking of the length of time that purchases done through Coinbase always take 10 days or more to appear in my wallet  I have much to learn about how to best take advantage of anonymity.  I believe anonymity is important to the future of cryptocurrency.

[Rasel5209]

i store my ETH my online wallet that i can keep alt coin.

[Russlenat]

for me I store my ethereum coin online because the site of my ethereum wallet is legit and no history record of scam.
It is recommended to store it online than to create on your pc wallet.
