Best wallet for Ethereum

[NeonFlash]

Hi All,

I setup my Ethereum wallet long ago, sometime in early 2016 if I remember correct. I saved my wallet in a safe place and since then I haven't used it.

Now, Ethereum has undergone several developments, 1 hard fork (Ethereum Classic) and so on. I would like to know which wallet should I use? Are the latest versions of the wallet compatible with previous versions? Can I import my old wallet file into a new one? I think the format of the wallet was in JSON before. Please let me know. Thanks.

I personally prefer Myetherwallet with my Trezor. Some weeks ago I ordered a Trezor, because I does not feel very secure to enter private keys with a keyboard to me. Every keylogger could get your key and all your ETH and custom tokens would be gone.

I believe the same type of wallets are used now. I wouldn't care much about downloading the blockchain If I were you so using Myetherwallet would be a good solution and If you bought ETHER and forgot about them (meaning you have large amounts) then going with a hardware wallet is even better.

Myetherwallet is easy to use and fast, you can choose the gwei to lower or higher the transaction fees. And it support ERC20 tokens.

You can import your old wallet JSON file in myetherwallet.

I would recommend myetherwallet as the best wallet for etherum. Wallet that has this web base system has very easy access and also excellent security. There are many people who use it and also I think everyone who thinks etherum must know myetherwallet. Maybe when compared with bitcoin I think this web wallet has the same quality with blockchain.

Do you have a wallet other than Myetherwallet? I think only Mew is nice to store your eth or token.

You can try using UTC / JSON on myetherwallet because I see they are compatible, hope you will get access to your wallet.

You can import the JSON old wallet of ethereum to https://www.myetherwallet.com/ becareful with fake website or phishing website never share your JSON to other people and saving it on the good place, myetherwallet can be used for ICO token especially if you like investment in the icos projects, myetherwallet is best wallet for ethereum, i have used it for participate in icos and storage my ethereum coin.

I would advice you personaly , I use both imtoken and myetherwallet, I keep most my token on myetherwallet, well I use imtoken to apply for ICO, and buy tokens it faster to access on my mobile device, I don't like opening Myetherwallet every time.
  You can import the JSON old wallet of ethereum to https://www.myetherwallet.com/ becareful with fake website or phishing website.
Always double check it myetherwallet.com, very important.

In parentheses:
1. Use myetherwallet it safer.
2. For large amount ETH or token you want to save long term use trezor. Offline is the safest.
Thanks

MyEtherWallet is very easy to use and ver fast,
but it has a lot of weakness behind it that is easy to get hacked.
so the best wallet for Ethereum is Offline Wallet no matter what is it.it's the best wallet to store your ethereum.
there're a lot of cases that we found about getting hacked by just clicking a link,
i do not recommend it if you're not really good at using it(MyEtherWallet).

Since blockchain.info  was specifically made for bitcoin,  it was myetherwallet i used to store my ethereums initially.
Later, blockchain added ethereum support to their wallet service and now i am able to swap keys between both.
You can import your old wallet keys with just a few clicks into one of these wallets.

To keep my coin Ethereum I use one of the most reliable electronic wallets Blockchain. It is very convenient and allows a single place to store ETH and BTC. I have not had a single hacking attempt in my purse so I think that it is a safe method of storage.

I recommend to use Mist based on Geth, if you have enough power and space to run it. It still have some issues on some Windows machines, but on Linux is running well. Web based wallets are easy to use and more convenient, but there are also more probability to be scammed and hacked too.

[followmenot]

I really love ease of usibg myetherwallet. You just download secure encrypted file. You should avoid fake websites and you will be safe. There is no hassle of loading downloading blockchain on your pc. myetherwallet is enough!

[Baron12]

I recommend myetherwallet.

[novaprime]

It is best to use Myetherwallet as all transactions are done quickly and confirm in 1-2 minutes, if more development Myetherwallet will be the choice for everyone to keep ETH in the future and the altcoin from the ICO project

[JeffBrad12]

Just use myetherwallet, once you've done creating one by yourself and given many method to backup your address, then simply store it to external hardrive of flashdrive. You'll get an easy the most secure wallet ever if it's never connected to the internet.
As people said, MEW is preferable because by using it, you're not saving your money in the dev's pocket but rather, you're given a way to manage your own address.

As long as you are still having your own private key and you can do anything with your wallet.  You can try to use your json in my etherwallet and if you are looking about the wallet that will have supported the fork and you must try wait the more announcement soon.

There is only one wallet you can count on ! If you are not a technical person and you want to absolutely be in charge of your ether! You must get myetherwallet. My ether wallet has been safe for me so far. I heard of hack but i think most time it is always as  a result of mistake from the users!

[Morguk]

I think Ledger Nano S or MyEthereumWallet (MEW) are the best. I've also used Parity which is good if you dont want to trust a website, but recently the same Parity devs created a smart contract bug which is concerning. MEW is great, just use the right site!
