Need help

[Z-tight]

Thanks for the advice, I would like to move all my bitcoins to Electrum, problem is I still have altcoins in that trust wallet. I'm looking for a good wallet for storing altcoins. 

You don't have to store your altcoins and your BTC together, i don't even recommend that. Store your BTC in a BTC-only wallet like Electrum or BlueWallet, and use a multi-coin wallet to store your altcoins, unstoppable wallet is a good one to store altcoins, it is open source.

I imported the wallet into Electrum and was able to regulate the gas fee (fees were still high though) and send the coins.

It is called tx fees in the BTC network and not gas fees.

And while we are at it, is there a better alternative to trust wallet? What I mean is an app for android that is ideally open-source and can handle tokens and shitcoins and all that jazz.

Depending on what altcoins you want to engage with, Stack Wallet might also be able to help. It's available both for Android and iPhone users. But it doesn't support that many altcoins. And based on what was said previously, it generates a unique seed phrase for each new coin you add to it. So, if you are using it with 3 altcoins, you would have to make 3 different secure backups + copies of those backups to store in different locations for better security.

I also manage a number of different coins (BTC and about 5 other altcoins) via a wallet, but due to a lack of alternatives I currently still use a Ledger hardware wallet. Ledger also offers an integration in Android:

Especially for more valuable holdings, there is unfortunately no way around a hardware wallet for me personally, which is why the series of incidents surrounding Ledger also bother me personally ...

My guess is that your BTC holdings is more valuable than the other 5 altcoins you are holding. So if you can afford to, you can get a BTC-only hardware wallet like Passport for your BTC's, and use your ledger hardware wallet for your altcoins. I always recommend that people store their BTC in a wallet that's different from what they use to store their altcoins, especially when the wallet is closed source or has secruity issues like ledger.

Alternatively, get one of the two cheaper Trezor models, download and set it up with the Bitcoin-only firmware that contains only code necessary to interact with Bitcoin and move your BTC to it. That way, you won't have to worry that a badly configured altcoin or altcoin service can possibly harm your bitcoins. It's all under the same roof with Ledger.

Hi bitcointalk, I have been trying to send my bitcoins from my trust wallet but I keep getting an error message. Something about dust UXTO error. This is the first time I'm encountering this problem. I suspected it had something to do with the hike in fees so I reduced the amount but I still get the same result. How do you fix this? Has my wallet been compromised?

Sorry for bringing up this old issue, but I dont see anyone suggest this method. So I'll write it here:

I have been facing this issue a few times in the past and the best solution for me is to erase the trust wallet app cache and then repeat the transaction.
Lowering the amount will leave some dust in the balance especially when you want to send the whole balance and yes that method is not always working.



Remember, only clear the Cache - do not clear the Data.

That is indeed an alternative that I hadn't even thought about. However, I'm a little wary of the effort involved in keeping the mnemonic code safe. I invested a lot of money and effort back then to keep it both safe and easily accessible in case something happens to me. Now I would have to go to that effort again.

But thanks for the tip in any case, I'll think about it! However, I would almost like Pmalek's idea with the Bitcoin-only Trezor even better.

If you are not aware, there is a discount with new Trezor models at the moment. You can take advantage of the offer and get free shipping. The Trezor Safe 3 is €79, while the old Trezor One costs €59. Considering the age of the Model One, it might not be a smart investment because we don't know if and when Trezor plans to drop its support for this model. The Trezor Safe 3 is in fact its successor. There is also the Model T which is currently discounted at €179.
