There seem to be a lot of scammy wallets popping up lately too asking people to input their seeds. Watch out newbies!! This could get worse before it gets better

Some people only have one computer and that must suck. Fortunately I have multiple so I can use some of my alt-miners to do this safely.

There are numbers of fake coins in the market.It becomes difficult to judge that which coin is better. So, one should go only for project based coins.

Thank you Gavin. The only things I might add is that "use a different password" isn't limited to exchanges, but applies to forums, emails, and even pools  , and that some antivirus heuristics seem to hate anything that has mining code in it and isn't explicitly whitelisted. The password can easily be stolen. Therefore, I use two-factor authentication on all sites where used money and important information. |

you can create more wallet. You can use the flash memory or secure hardrive. I think best antivirus is knowledge
You are right, sometimes people enter a private key instead of a public key when registering. What else to say. |

Some of the new projects I'm seeing are some of the sketchiest. Mostly because you don't know what they are putting in the wallets. I recommend anyone to not install any random crypto wallets in environments were they store privatekeys of their main wallets.

The great Gavin Anderson. His words still carry so much relevance all these years on. I think alternative currencies can have a place in future. Like Gavin pointed out though if investing in alts make sure you do you due diligence as this risk factor is exponentially greater

I want to create an alternative special-purpose blockchain. It would use a proof-of-work function that is different than the one in Bitcoin.

By and large, on the off chance that you have a lot of bitcoins on a given PC, being additional wary about outsider programming (be it an Alt-coin customer or an especially favor easygoing amusement) is fitting

If I have a significant amount of Bitcoins, I wouldn't run other clients on the many different computers until the alternates have developed trust over a longer period of time...

Generally, if you have a large amount of bitcoins on a given PC, being extra-cautious about third party software (be it an Alt-coin client or a particularly fancy casual game) is advisable.

There are lots of alternative wallets, mostly wallets that are connected to blockchain as well, some wallets offer their own currency of their country, with this said, alt wallets will be able to convert btc onto their own corresponding currency, and some alt wallets offer you more security, I don't think that all alt wallets have the ability to do this, but for the sake of your bitcoins choose the wallet that will offer you security and legitimacy, this is important, especially if you are holding a huge amount of btc, take care.
