hardware wallets safe?

[Fredomago]

Definitely much better than browser or desktop wallets. But on the other think I believe it is still better to keep your funds on 20 exchanges and wallets instead of holding everything in one basket. Always use diversification to reduce the risks

Ya, but 20 exchanges are ridiculously high number and you don't even want to check them one by one lol and I doubt those 20 exchanges are even legit to store your own money. I'd rather just store in 3 - 4 exchange those are really legit if I want to store it in exchanges.

the strangest idea is to think that holding your money on a large exchange is safe. there is no exchange which guarantees the safety of money and the risks of hacker attacks are much higher than on cold wallets

Indeed. If you are considering exchange wallets better to think twice there's no assurance that they can prevent or avoid hackers to attack them, aside from that there's also possibilities of inside job or exchange exit excuses. It's advisable to have hardware wallet if you are here for longer stay.

If you do plan to make this venue for investment and business purposes, having hardware wallet will save your assets much safer.

Nothing can't replace the hardware wallet. A hardware wallet is the safest wallet in this crypto world. But online wallet also safe if we know how can we keep our account secure otherwise online wallet isn't safe at all. A hardware wallet isn't free at all. We need to pay a good amount of money to keep our cryptocurrencies safely.

I also think that today cold wallets are the safest places to store your cryptocurrency, but it seems to me that something more reliable will be invented soon

Faster hard ware wallet for saving coin than online exchange wallet, hard ware wallet only access with hard ware you save token not reason for get access by any one of do not have hard ware wallet, put phase word for access to hard ware wallet. Investor of ICO must have hard ware wallet if hold altcoin for long term to make safety than hold in exchange wallet where can stole by hacker, although your computer hacke but your token safe if use hard ware wallet.

Hardware Wallet is the best and safest when it comes to storing cryptocurreny. And one thing is to make sure to store the keys and the Hardware wallet in a secure place to avoid being stolen and utilized at the long run.

   It`s the best when there is a wallet on official site, hardware wallet on official site is the best option for me. Not every coin
I posses have that, but if it have I will use it without questions. I don`t like third party services, I avoid that when ever I can!
   Hardware wallet are one of the safest wallets. In every way you have your private keys with you, and that`s the most important
thing, private keys, if you don`t have them you are not owner of that wallet.

[jorenpo]

it is indeed safe but be careful not to corrupt it. Online wallet is also safe but only use the official wallet of the coins, never use 3rd party who offers universal wallet.

Hardware wallet is safe as long as you will not discuss to others your private keys. Using online wallsts are also good but there are risks because some of online wallets have been hacked in the past.

Indeed! It is safe not unless you will share your keys to other. But sometimes being less careful in what we are doing in the internet can cause us to have malware that is been using by hackers to sniff to our files that can cause them to have an access on it. Better to tighten your security and everything.

It's best to use hardware wallets, also there are some universal wallets with good reputation and performance, whereby users have total control of their private keys like Trust wallet and Atomic wallet.  If I'm holding so many coins, normally I'll sort for a universal wallet to atleast WATCH my holdings even if I don't want to import (that's if I decide using the official coin wallets). Even with hardware wallet, you can still lose your holdings if you don't back up properly.

   Why would anyone share private keys with anyone?! It`s the most obvious scam ever if someone asks for your private keys!!!
It`s one of the things anyone should know, it`s something I learned right away!
   They can`t hack external hard drive, and they can`t peak in your notebook. Two best ways to protect your private keys, to
write them down in some book, or to keep them in hidden file on your external hard drive.

I personally think it is safe as an offline wallet offers the highest level of security for storing crypto is it involves storing the funds in a secured place that is not connected to any network. This type of wallet can also offer good protection against computer vulnerabilities. The hardware wallets are the best type of offline wallet that offers very high security and ease of use. Also, as these wallets allow backup, you can easily recover your funds if you lose this device.

One such example of a hardware wallet is Trezor. It operates as secure cold storage. You can easily transfer bitcoins to the device using the Trezor interface, which is accessible from macOS, Linux, Windows, and Android. Its interface is quite easy to use that lists your coins and recent transactions.

Trezor uses a 12 to 24-word seed for protection and recovery and a user-defined PIN. You can also add an encrypted passphrase to your wallet for an added layer of security.

Hardware wallets are mostly safe but upon picking a certain wallet. Always choose the one that is tested and proven to be a trustworthy one. Be always aware that corruption is a problem in there, you should make sure that you wouldn't do anything that may cause your wallet to be corrupted. Make sure also that the security is handled with many verifications so that if someone would try to get in, hack it and steal your money, you are well assured that it is very safe.

Most of the long term investors are prefer to use it than using online wallets or an exchange to store their coins. I have a hardware wallet that I bought last 2 years ago. All of my coins are in there because I know that I'm the only one who have access to it.

[boltz]

Yes. Hardware wallets are safe especially Nano Ledger N and S but be sure you won't open any suspicious mail coming from "nano ledger team" as that is a malware that will most likely steal your coins. Lately a lot of spam mails are coming to those who are having their data leaked somewhere so make sure before you open anything , check their website in order to see if they actually push an update. Also don't talk with friends or any other people about you having a hardware wallet as I wouldn't trust no one when it comes to your crypto wallets and private keys.

in security, hardware wallet is the best reference because in management only you can do it without any other part and you are responsible for securing your wallet in accessing, checking data and backing up data. and if you want to use a third party wallet you should use a wallet that has high security and trust

I have a trezor and I store most of my funds there. In terms of security I am sure that there are no hackers who can get my funds there. I only trust myself in terms of securing my private keys and even my family doesn't know about it.

Yes, no need to use other people’s wallets better use the only officials that are made especially for crypto holding. When you start investing in crypto you should think in your mind about holding your coin and for this choose your wallet. It is about you that wallet you but I think on crypto-related safety I the only blockchain is the best one that we can trust blindly.

[Kay94]

Yes. I think hardware wallets are safe than the other online wallets. It all depends on how you handle your information to other people because scammers are around.

Hardwallet is the safest type of crypto wallet.  It is not prone to hack the online type of wallet.  Most bitcoin whales uses the hardware wallet to store their huge bags of crypto coin and keep it safe.  It is safe because it gives the owner full and total control of the wallet without any third party interference, the owner is in custody of the pass phrase and him alone can acess it. It is very difficult for hackers to have access to hardware wallet except if the owner was careless with the pass phrase. Other than that crypto coin cab be stored inn hardwallet with nothing to worry

All wallet are safe, hardware or software wallet can't protect you. In comparison hardware wallet is safe. Hardware wallet has few problem like lost, burn or damage etc. You can't visit anytime from any where but software is also safe if you are strongly follow the recommendation

well all of that back to ourselves how to save data that is very important so that it is not lost even though the hard wallet is guaranteed security but we can lose data if we do not have a hard copy or soft copy of all the data we have, so security depends on everyone.
