Hardware wallets for the Blue chip cryptos, series of currency-specific wallets for everything else

I take backup everyday and keep them in 2 pen drives separately which i use to backup from the system weekly once. So that if any day my system crashes i should not be in trouble.

[stronghands4lyfe]

I use hardware wallets, usbs, external drives, and 2fa on every account that I can. I think that makes things quite secure. Oh and dont keep coins on an exchange as they are not yours at that moment.

Try only using exchanges for exchanging coins not storing.

How do you manage to keep your crypto coins? 

I make sure I have not just one hard drive but more than one to make sure that I have back ups in case my crypto wallet is gone for whatever reason.

i save my coins in local wallet, very safety and easy because if there is problem about that you can complain in owner . i prefer to save my coins in local wallet than in hardware wallet or webwallet etc

[bit-freedom]

I keep my crypto coins in hardware wallet. For those coins that are not supported by my hardware wallet, I will keep in the official wallet of the coins.

I think the new meoda is Decred, written from scratch, it's not a bitcoin fork hahaha

I think saving different coins in exchange would be bad idea as well as it should not be stored on the wallet for which you don't hold any private keys. If you don't have private keys then it just mean one thing that is you don't control your wallet and  coin by any means. Generating private keys and printing them is best option to go with it. Always store these private keys in three to four different location. If possible use hardware wallet like ledger which is the best one in the market. Keeping on digital pic connected with internet is not good as it can be hacked. Bette store it offline.

I'm using Electrum & mew. Private keys are saved in password protected .xlsx lists and stored in multiple hard drives.

But still how can you protect yourself if a hacker has a RAT on your computer and can just copy your password whenever you type it in?

It doesn't matter, if your machine is infected a hacker might as well copy the wallet file, the mnemonic seed, password or whatever he/she wants. When a hacker has access, all bets are off.

I've set up a VM for trying new wallets where I'm logged into the used websites forever, so there's no need for retyping passwords at any time.

And I never install any software other than needed to my origin OS.

most of my altcoins and ethereum coins are stored to MyEtherWallet.also i think to make your coins safer is to having them on the exchanger.security is the most importing part for cryptocurrencies so we should do our best to find best wallet or storage to store and and prevent being scamed. in excahnger is oppesite they could close down your account and you will lost all of your money so that why i stored it to other wallet for backup plan

[luckyguy09]

If you are a long term holder i would recommend that you keep your coins in ledger wallet as this way you will not be in temptation to trade your coins and it is very safe.


However if you wish to trade in the mean time, a solution would be to split the amount of coins you wish to trade to few (3) exchange platforms. Not all coins for trading in 1

I use blockfolio for the portfolio of my coins and the original wallets for each con unless it's a token or eth I use myetherwallet. Otherwise I use waves lite wallet for waves and it's tokens. I don't like using anything where I am not in control. I want the private keys.

[onesalt]

I keep them locally, the most important reason is that I cannot 'keep' myself stay without trading 

[GoldKeyInvestments]

I much rather have coins securely stored online than a physical hard drive or back-up device. What happens if you someone robs your house or you get hit by a hurricane? This is why I only recommend e-wallets even if that might sound counter-intuitive, but at the end of the day its personal opinion.

[selline]

If I still trust the eth I use myetherwallet. If I use the wave lite wallet to wave and have a Token because I don't like to use anything where I'm not in control. I would like private key security sensing sake. in managing my crypto coins

[CryptosD]

I'm just going to start investing in ICOs and I need to buy some coins to use them after. I even didn't know there is a difference between wallets. What would you recommend as the safest option for me?

[Ewox]

Keep or store them in a hard ware wallet or offline wallet. But I do check them from time to time and for those coins that have low value and are at a certain amount I just keep them in an exchange but I placed a 2fa on the exchange site to be sure also.

[cah ndablek]

I still trust myetherwallet as one of the coin storage places
because there has never been a small cheating in all the exchanges that's what makes me judge the quality of performance is very good in satisfying users.

[riskarcher]

I only use my etherwallet because secure is the most important for protect ur coin, i dont know know how to use other wallet. I just have one

There are several ways to backup/manage your coins and that depends on your personal preference. The most notable and most available way to each and everyone of us is to use an external hard drive that would be offline most of the time. I actually use this and it is very convenient to me. You should buy those hard drives that has built-in encryption software to add an extra layer of security to it. Another way that I use is to have a hardware wallet for your coins. Currently using Ledger (well-known hardware wallet company) but would like to try Trezor also. This hardware wallets are created for the sole purpose of storing coins (Bitcoin, altcoin, etc.) and they provide different level of securities with the ease of usage through their software that comes with it. I've been successful in managing my coins by using these methods and would come handy for anyone out there.

I store it in an offline wallet and let it sleep for many years and will only open it when I reach my target price. I also keep the private keys just to make sure.
