Hi I was previously an owner of BTC, untill i was hacked and robbed of my btc-e account (around $7000 at todays price, which is similar to the time).
To be fair i'm aware that there were a whole load of precautions i could have taken, but i did not research properly into them and so on.
I am looking to buy back some coins and have the money saved. Finding that i usuallyy make profitable day trading decisions i liked to keep all my BTC/USD on btc-e, but as i found out that's not the safest thing to do.
What i'm wondering is how i can store my BTC so its easily accessible to my btc-e account for quick transactions, i hear this is fairly simple (but i am a noob so hey). Also a way of safely storing USD off the btc-e website so that i can use it very quickly to make purchases.
Any help would be great. Thanks.
If you feel like helping me BTCack on my feet: 1sDMKUapfrYmJ6RyxfEALmb4K3r6RhLJn

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Yeah, but if i put them into a paper wallet is it easy and quick to move my BTC in and out of btc-e? Also if i want to hold USD can i put that in a paper wallet? |

for daytrading you must have money on the exchange because funding takes too much time. if you use two factor authentication it should be secure. best way is to use a device for it which is never connected to the pc you are trading with.
