still looking for a decent ethereum wallet?

There is only one. Infura is the only wallet service provider because nobody else is willing to host 2TB full blockchain node. Ethereum is iEthereum now (the "i" comes from Infura). Infura is hosted on AWS. If Amazon decides to shutdown Infura this is the end of Ethereum. And all of you are waiting the price will go up? What for?

How do you know most Ethereum Full nodes is installed on Infura ??
Could you give us any confirmation of your statements? Thanks

According to BitInfoCharts.com, the Ethereum blockchain size is 181.65 GB at the time of writing, representing the total size of all block headers and transactions. Also, there is a concept in Ethereum called “pruning”, which means that you don't have to download the entire blockchain to be a full node.
and you get some shit from somewhere.?? And almost all the blockchain like bitcoin, Bcash are above 150 gb

It is worse than that. There is no such thing as "ethereum full nodes installed on Infura". There is only one full node. Most ethereum enterprise businesses including exchanges are using Infura APIs to send and receive ethers. Even Vitalik's foundation doesn't run full node!

You should stick with Hardware Wallets like Tezor or Ledger to store your ETH, if you find other ETH wallets unsafe.

I too think there are not much of decent wallets for holding ETH and at the same time keeping the funds safe.


If you are specifically finding a online wallet to hold ETH, I would recommend using Blockchain wallet at the best as it already supports ETH.

show me a wallet i can load my json file into (apart from myetherwallet, or command line parity), i cant load erc20 tokens onto a trezor or ledger.

Wait, what? Ofcourse you can use your ERC20 tokens with Ledger! I know because I'm using one!
Ledger Live (the wallet's software suite) might not have a dedicated screen for the ERC20 tokens, but you can add any token in MetaMask and then link your Ledger with MetaMask.
It's totally safe because whatever transaction you request from MetaMask's interface will need to be internally signed from your hardware wallet, your private keys never leave your hardware by design.

You can also use MyEtherWallet with your Ledger, after MEW loads your wallet it'll find all (most?) of your tokens and if anything is missing you can add it manually using the token's address.
From reading your post, I understood that you though you can't connect Ledger to MyEtherWallet, sorry if I misunderstood something.

this is actually not a bad option, but i would prefer a standalone wallet, not using metamask or ledger.

If you don't want to use MEW have you tried considering using https://mycrypto.com (I haven't used it)?

Ledger would be the best option for you because it is really secure

sure but you cant import an existing json wallet into a ledger, only way is to transfer once te wallet is opened.

i am using metamask and it is working good. i don't need to enter my private key everytime when i want to login on my eth account.
if you don't want to use ledger or you don't have ledger then matamask is recommended its also very secure way to use eth account and other eth bassed DAPPs.

Impressive Memberlist of the Enterprice Ethereum Alliance (EEA)   

The EU Blockchain Observatory and Forum is meant to be interactive, fostering ongoing dialogue with the wider community. Along with the Online Forum already mentioned, the Observatory and Forum will hold a regular series of thematic workshops as well as other events intended to facilitate healthy debate and the exchange of ideas.

Created as a European Parliament pilot project, the EU Blockchain Observatory and Forum is being run under the aegis of the European Commission’s Directorate General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology (DG CONNECT). Partners include ConsenSys AG (general contractor), the University of Southampton, the Knowledge Media Institute at the Open University, University College London, and the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences.

Yeah I do think Metamask works fine and been using it for more than a year now and I've never encountered any issues with it though I understand that I also have to take other precautions to protect my computer system from intrusion to make it possibly secure as ever.

The biggest martial arts event of Holland sells blockchain-registered tickets.

An excerpt from their monthly blog update: "Besides the unwanted scalping of tickets for these types of events, there are also serious security issues that come into play. Traditionally, these types of events can sometimes be plagued by incidents and fights in the audience. This leads to bad publicity and unpleasant experiences for other attendants. Our identity-registered tickets provide event organizers highly valuable information and crowd regulation possibilities, that will assist a great deal in providing their visitors a safe and enjoyable event."

maybe good for football clubs , to prevent their 'hooligans' ...

there is still not a wallet, apart from mew that i can load my json file into. ledger doesnt support that.

I think the security feature of MEW + Metamask will suffice to most ETH holders to secure their tokens. Anyways ledger could have that issue resolve asap to satisfy its customers.

Then as to my knowledge, there is no wallet other then MEW and mycrypto that allow us to load JSON file.

ETH is moving forward to next milestone to break the psychological barrier of $150 current support is getting more powerful so let's see when it will happen. This is really important for ETH to enter in bullish zone and get more bigger market cap.

You know the enterprise blockchain wars are heating up when a ConsenSys enterprise blockchain startup, Kaleido, partners with not one, but two technology majors that collectively comprise 80% of public cloud infrastructure.
.....................................
“Microsoft continues to work deeply with the Ethereum community to advance applications of enterprise blockchain” said Yorke Rhodes, principal program manager, Blockchain Engineering at Microsoft. “We’re happy to welcome Kaleido to our rich blockchain partner ecosystem, so enterprises can realize the business value of blockchain faster.”

Abra founder and CEO Bill Barhydt and Ethereum Founder Vitalik Buterin have a lengthy discussion about the problems that Ethereum is out to solve. ->

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-i_mTwL-FI

 

Abra’s users will be able to deposit Bitcoin, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, fiat from American Express-backed plastic, and ETH onto the finance-centric application. In the release, Barhydt, a former CIA, NASA, and Goldman Sachs employee turned crypto diehard, stated:

    “By adding native ether support, Abra users will now be able to easily buy and move ether from other wallets to the Abra app.”

Once Ether is settled on the platform, Abra intends to offer deposit and withdraw options for the ERC-20 tokens currently listed on Abra, “in addition to other new tokens that we will now be able to list.“
