Does this ledger or nano wallet has a mobile version? Because i really am always on the go and currently my bitcoins were saved on a exchanger site which is really not good in ny opinion.
Ledgers, TREZORs etc tend to be compatible with phones as long as your phone has USB on the go.  You'd just need to take your TREZOR/Ledger and a USB cable when you intend to go out and spend.  They're pretty small so it shouldn't be a problem.

I gravitated to Trezor because it allows me to have "unlimited" hidden wallets without having to reset or use different SEED to do so.  I especially like the idea of having a decoy wallet with a few BTC on it in case I am ever forced to disclose/open a wallet.  There is NO indication any hidden wallets exist.  Plus it works flawlessly!

I have trezor and didn't know about hiddent wallets!

Also good for U2F to secure important email etc

Read the Trezor user manual or Ledger Nano S FAQ to get the most out of your hardware wallet.

With BTC price is go up every day I was thinking that would be smart to invest in hardware wallet and secure my coins in the best possible way.From what I saw hardware wallets do not support importing of private keys or there is a way to do that?

Price for Trezor is now something around 0.06 BTC including sending,only thing which can increase total price is tax,from where is package sends?

I like Case wallet. Next to that old style paper wallets work just fine.  Or go on the cheap and use multiple NANO's.

I don't have hardware wallets and i think hardware wallets are just same with paper wallet because you are storing your bitcoins there and either of two is safe for you to save bitcoins because they are very hard to hack by the hacker because in paper wallet it is offline so there is no chance to worry about getting hacked which is the safest wallet that i've got.


No they are not the same.
The hardware wallets can be restored if they are lost or stolen, and paper wallets can't be restored.

Plus according to John McAfee
No online wallet or mobile wallet, or wallet that used a computer is secure.

You need to watch this.
It is eye opening.

As many of you I use Trezor wallet. In the most beginning I used only online wallet, but since my bitcoin earnings became bigger I decided to use hardware wallet to feel safe about my money. The same as you are I just asked on the forum and many users suggested Trezor.

Trezor is definitely the best and I'm not sure if there are any truly comparable alternatives for what you're looking to do if security is a priority.
Yeah agree trezor is one of the hardware wallet that I use in the pass years no prolem encounter so far and still good but i would say try the other hardware wallet like ledger they are one of the best wallets.

hello everyone I am very new here to the Bitcoin Talk forums
I am looking to purchase a hardware wallet and would like some insight / experiences some of you have had with them so I can better decide which one to get

Currently I am holding Bitcoin and many other Alt Coins
Ideally I would like one wallet that held them all if that's possible.

If you want to hold bitcoin in desktop wallet then you can go with electrum, but if you want to hold altcoin also then i dont know about it as i keep altcoins in their respective wallets, so that if they are in POS i can stake and earn them.

Seems everybody loves Trezor. I understand why. Case is very expensive but it does have the most features like biometric fingerprint scan.

You don’ specify what do you mean by best, do you mean the most secure? Do you mean the cheapest? Do you mean the easiest to use?

Nowadays, there are so many bitcoin wallets on the market, and all of them are free, you do not have to give up any money to own it. In my opinion, electrum is one of the best wallets, it is more user-friendly and has more rational features.

If you use an Android phone you can use Mycelium wallet. The Nano S connects to your phone with a short OTG cable and signs bitcoin transactions.

I see the problem here is that i have no idea about nano S and i think i will be having a hardtime in finding that one since bitcoin accessories are not that available in my place

Do not even think of buying a Case. They have not updated the firmware in a year and the fees used when sending bitcoin are too low. It was an interesting idea but they seem to have ceased development sorry to report. Stick with Trezor or Ledger Nano S.

I love my trezor
The multiple wallets makes it easy to only show how much I want
This makes it great for not letting the wife know the true amount of coins I have (just in case hehehe)
but its also great for in person trades. We can agree on the amount before hand, say 2.5 btc, I load that amount into a newly created wallet, meet up, load up that wallet and again no one knows my true holdings.

When I was younger we didn't have behavioural disorders. They called it "being a brat". It was as simple as that!
