Good work OP !
I do see you are listing bitcoin-core after Exodus under desktop category. I mean official things need to be prioritized. I checked twice like you are listing alphabetical or in any order, I am sorry I am just finding that you are listing pure randomly or based on the order your preferences like your exposure on those wallets.

I like this topic, because you also provided pros and cons of each wallets. That must be a new thing as far as I am concerned. Like to see more elaborated advantages and disadvantages for all category.

This is my usual reference for gaining knowledge on latest wallets info : https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet
Now, I have bookmarked this topic too.

[Cloud_miner]

Maybe it will seem to someone too paranoid, but I want to say that I trust my cryptocurrency only to my hardware wallet. My Tresor is the only wallet I use to store my cryptocurrency, and it really gives me a sense of security. I have never used and will not use any online wallets.

[tamango]

Very nice post for newbies... personally I used in the past a paper wallet but it's really too complicated for everyday usage so I prefer an hardware one. I'm actually using a Ledger Nano S without any problems and it's not so complicated.

[Levyathan]

Well, in my humble opinion, this is an interesting thread where you can find so many wallets which you can use in here. Hope there is a lot of attentions from the people especially the operator.

[funnec]

Great work,this thread has been a lot of benefits to me and am sure many others here especially the newbie.Thanks so much.

[various]

The most secure wallets are paper wallets, but I don't much prefer. Because it can be a bit challenging for instant processing. That's why I'm using desktop wallets, so far I've had no problems.

[arwani1985]

its a lot of wallet for crypto world, but for now I still use myetherwallet as my wallet for all my altcoin I have I dont now which one the best wallet for altcoin

As my suggestion, it is now better to use a safer wallet. although myetherwallet now has a new look. but if we have swallow nano-s or trezor it's much better

[thaliaand]

Very good information about cryptocurrencies wallets. It is very informative by giving the comparison for each kind of wallet. I think each kind of wallet has its advantages and disadvantages, even the hardware wallet if we don;t carefully take care of it, or lose it, that will be a matter as well.

That is a good summary. Thanks for introducing me to other wallets. So far, I have only been using a few web and mobile wallets. There is also an upcoming wallet that I've been testing and I'm liking it a lot, you can check it out https://equal.tech/

[dimonarka]

Today, there are a lot of cryptocurrency wallets. But not everyone will guarantee safety. And this is the most important thing for the wallet. Often, wallets are hacked by fraudsters. So be careful

[nlaara12]

I just discovered Infitinito mobile wallet and liked it very much. You may add Infinito the list.

Infinito launched a airdrop and bounty program and they distrubited 2 airdrops. But then never came any new airdrop or bounty.

Did you know any wallet have free airdrops or bounties? It would be easy if it is.

Your suggestion is noted, Infinito mobile appear to be ok.

Today, there are a lot of cryptocurrency wallets. But not everyone will guarantee safety. And this is the most important thing for the wallet. Often, wallets are hacked by fraudsters. So be careful

if it is a matter of security and whether or not it depends on the person who uses it, because if the person is careless it will certainly also be easy to crack. begutu also vice versa if people are careful because all the wallets are good

[nlaara12]

   Here are some hardware wallets.

There's a discussion on another thread about the hardware wallets and about the newcomers on that market. Maybe you could check those and add to your list at least the ones that are released.


And something else in your list: while it's nice to have a big list of wallets, some 2-3 words on each of them would not hurt, just to help people find easier something for their needs. At least a list of coins supported maybe...

Thanks for your suggestion,to be updated.

[nlaara12]

There is something missing in my opinion for the Mobile wallet.
You need to add imToken as the best mobile wallet at the moment.
 I have used it since a year ago and now it's been upgraded to version 2.0 which has many features and guaranteed security.
imToken also has a special device that is currently being sold on its website.

Thanks for your observation.

[digitalblock]

Any of the listed wallets can be susceptible to attacks, and basically hacking wallets is due to the fact that there are viruses on your computer.
