This is for those who use wallets with cheap transaction fee, such as ethereum based wallets.
There are some who cannot yet afford to purchase a hardware wallet. On that note, i have a suggestion on how your wallet can be safe from hackers. I have always noticed wallets that get easily hacked are those that are subject to public view.
Try as much as possible to have a separate cold wallet address that you do not copy and paste the private key, and neither do you share the address with anyone. You can use it to store most of your valuable coins.
Even if you want to transfer any coin or token to an address belonging to another person, first transfer it to your public wallet before sending it out.

Keeping our wallets safe is so important especially if we're transacting most of the time. I think it better if we'll keep our private keys safe to get rid of being hacked. We should also just entrust it in people whom we only trust the most. Havkers are smart but we should be wiser than them.

I have some suggestions on what you said. You said if i transact coins first send from private wallet to public wallet then transfer to other. But in blockchain by searching transaction history anyone can easily get your so called private address. But yoy also understand that it is never possible to hack a wallet with only wallet address. So , the best solution is Hardware wallet. But i also know many cannot afford it. So you will have to ultra safe. Always keep your private key hiding from others. And choose password over 20 characters and difficult password to break.

I would also like to add that people should be more careful when they are visiting websites, always make sure that the url is the correct one before you put in your private key to access your wallet so your information does not get stolen.

Indeed ,this is the best vtime to put resources into ETH and BITCOIN .Because the cost of ETH and BTC until further notice are falling and I think put resources into ETH and Bitcoin is the most ideal approach to get a high benefit later on. a propose to all speculator purchase more ETH and Bitcoin for the time being to the extent that this would be possible to expand your benefit and sometime you understand can put resources into ETH and BTC your benefit are experiencing childhood later on.

It is really quite easy to protect our respective wallets from hackers. There are some few precautions that we can do to prevent such thing from happening, such as:

1. Logging in our wallets only in safe places and more on personal devices, like computers or smart phones.
2. Be more keen to the websites that we are logging into because some of them might be fake.
3. Be more mindful about the surrounding when logging in. Make sure that no one is looking when you are typing.
4. Make the password more complicated and at the same time only you as a user can remember or know it.

The most important thing in maintaining an account do not ever give a password to anyone while it is not the person we entrust. And sometimes there are lots of phishing links that go into the e-mail and don't open phishing links once in a while if the e-mail sender is not clear. So our caution is expected.

Well thank you a lot its a pretty good advice. I using this kind of system and using few wallets to seperate my funds to protect it from hacking. If one of them got hacked then it will be a much less lose than if all my money was on one wallet.

Make it sure you never share your passwords or private key with anyone else that not too close to you, and don't go for other site that are not related with cryptocurrency.

The best thing you can do for your deposit is to work with him very skillfully and transfer your savings to your hardware purse, if you want it yourself, there are other services like electrum

The cryptocurrency world is full and maximum security. I don't know what kind of hackers we're talking about. I've been in cryptocurrency for several years and I've never had a problem with it.

before opening your wallet you should use metamask and do not use private keys. if you follow the airdrop that leads to your wallet, you immediately stop because usually it's fraud.

Some airdrop do ask for private key,,, do not send your private key to any one, either on website or to a friend, keep both your private key and password in your privacy

I think this is very important don't use external links never share your private key and before login always check https protocol and always use metamask too.

The shortest answer here is better offline than online.

The most common mistake is to store the crypto wallet key in email, Google Drive or Dropbox, or any notes application on your smartphone. This is the first place hackers usually try to enter. To save your coins, you can move the keys to the storage that you only know. You can record it on a USB stick, or just write it down and store it in your drawer, and remember you can't tell someone else.
