It sounds trivial, but things like that are often ignored, I personally prefer the wallet issued by the coin itself or their official wallet.

[Russlenat]

That's why newbies should always stay away from unknown wallet source provider because it can only cause big problems, used only trusted wallet provider like MyEtherWallet.

[karagun125]

Yes newbies should know that there would be wallets in some projects or sites that are suspiscious and not legit, maybe it we log in to their websites with our personal datas, maybe it can be steal so we ahould be aware of that.

[khoapham89]

Yep, newbies actually don't know exactly how these apps work, so they often fall into these traps and lose their money.

Some trusted wallets:
MyEtherWallet
Coinbase
Blockchain
Ledger
And I think that is enough for all cryptocurrencies

Most of free wallets are not giving the features that makes you able to take your privatekey. And then put anything on the wallet that gives you ability to take your privatekey.
Freewallet is untrusted wallet that means it's not a scam but it can't be trusted.

Hello

Many financial services choose not to share private keys with individual wallet addresses.

May we know the reason which made you post this thread? Are you having an issue with our service?

Freewallet is aimed at providing the long-term and trustful service. A lot of crypto enthusiasts are investing their time and efforts helping us to elaborate one of the best solutions in the industry. We were the first mobile wallet launched the BCH mobile app.

If there is no particular reason for your sharp thread, we may interpret it as pure defamation.

[joseyphil82]

You've just said it yourself ,we need our freedom ,for example I use copay wallet ,with my key I can open my wallet on bitpay or coinomi wallet or jaxx wallet ,I have total control, try this and you will have millions of users

MyEtherWallet
Coinbase

And I think that is enough for all cryptocurrencies

You can also connect your hardware wallet to your myetherwallet for extra security better than storing private keys and json file.

metamask is also good for newbies since it blocks harmful websites like phishing websites.

[shadowduck]

The problem with private keys is now very common. Newbies do not know how to safely store their private key. and the wallets which do not need private key  - this is a scam i think

To be honest, they will gradually learn how to store their assets safely, just need time and experience. If we give them examples, they might be able to understand, but if they have never made a mistake or carelessness, then they will not be able to study well. Tell what to tell and let them explore how cruel the crypto world is

[gowobonyok]

the important thing is to be careful in entering the exchanger to avoid phishing because when we will withdraw or deposit, we must enter the private key, if it's phishing then we will definitely lose. to be safer, bookmarking the original site is not phishing.

[batang_bitcoin]

For those bitcoin related wallet, use only these:

https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

Blockchain.com isn't on the list but I'm also using that wallet. For altcoin related wallets, there's lite wallets from the coin developers itself and hardware wallets who have plenty of alts to support.

[cokroalif]

it means the meaning of a wallet, I prefer a wallet that has a private key, not an email or password, with private there is no control from anyone except myself and safer than e-mail using passwords

[Fluxtorrence9]

Yes newbies should stay away from any wallet requesting to login using email and password because they are online wallets with no private keys ,if anything happens to that particular company kiss your coins goodbye ,paper wallets which are offline and wallets with passphrase or private keys are the best

Yes, you are absolutely right. Cryptocurrency now represents a very tasty morsel for various scammers who want to profit at someone else's expense. And they are very creative and we need to be very careful with our wallets. Especially in this regard, newcomers will suffer and this will cause great damage to the advancement of cryptocurrency. Only a private secret key can save us from fraud and abuse, and not always.

wow, this is a fact alot of people would have ignored the basics
but thanks for the timely reminder. And while you get an etherum account with private keys amongst others, do ensure to avoid phishing links that could endanger the safety of the accounts.
Face the facts and bookmark myetherwallet.com or use metamask for chrome browser or mozilla browser.

[BitcoinHunt3r]

Just heard that kind of wallets, so it will be dangerous because we can't claim our money back if something happen, but me even use private key, i never use android wallet and trust my own wallet on PC.

[Ludmilla_rose1995]

Yes, that's true, many newbies are victims of scam wallets. They should learn a lot about the risks of crypto investing. A scam wallet is also a risk of storing crypto assets so they have to find out about a wallet that is safe to use.

[libert19]

Unfortunately freewallet is first result when searching for eos/ethereum wallets, many newbies fall prey to it.

I am pretty sure sooner or later freewallet will run away.
