Would you buy a hardware wallet?

[tabas]

Hardware wallets are okay but I still prefer paper wallets above it so I think I would not buy one to be honest.
Maybe if they are really good I will do this in the future.

Buying an hardware wallet really does cost you money, but there are people considering to buy it, since they afford to buy it and the usage of
it makes them comfortable. But for me, I wouldn't buy one, since wallet address are enough for me to store my bitcoins.

I would not buy any hardware wallet. because I think I am satisfied with online wallet.. may be I'll buy an hardware wallet in future but right now I am Ok with my current wallet because I don't have much money..

I think you can better buy one for sure due to the fact online wallets can be hacked due to the fact its online.
With a hardware wallet its offline and very safe compared with online wallets.

Hope someone can come up with a thumb drive size and of course not plug & play.

This is already done, if you look what I wrote.

I mention in my sentence of ledgerwallets hardware which is the cheapest one out there in a usb form - using the smart chip.

Ooops sorry,  can I ask for the website so I can get infos for that there?

[HarryKPeters]

I would not buy one because I still think a paper wallet is way better and its also that its easier in my opinion.
Overall people are also saying a hardware wallet can still be hacked ??

[praprata]

No I would never buy a hardware wallet, I do not like them and they are sometimes even very expensive and that is also what I do not like about it at all to be honest.
I think that hardware wallets are safe but right now still pricey.

Yeah mate. why should we spend some money to buy a wallet when we have lots of free wallets here..
I don't think I need to buy a hardware wallet at this time when I don't have much btc, it may be safer than a online wallet. and may I buy one if I have huge amount of btc. but right now the online wallet is perfect for me.

Me also, I don't prefer buying an hardware wallet, it is hard for it to manage. And if your hardware wallet will be stolen, your bitcoin there will also
lost forever. That's why I prefer to use online wallet rather than hardware wallet. And tendency of being lost of hardware wallet once you forgot where
you have put it, is also there.

I wish trezor had an android app and came with an otg cable

yes its will be better and great if Trezor as best bitcoin hardware wallet can operate on android operating system,and have OTG cable,and then they should put IoS on list,so people will more easy to access trezor wherever they go.

I haven't heard about that trezor, but base on your feedback on it, maybe it is the best bitcoin hardware wallet. But if it will be put on the an android
app, maybe it is now like an online wallet address, so no difference between online wallet address, this is just only my thought.

I must say if this would happen I would buy it, it would be so nice if it has this, maybe in the future they will add it you never know it of course.

Ledger wallet also offers the same otg cable as well.

So you can sync and do the same once you dl their app. All the difference is peoples experience on the cost really just my view.

hm... As for me, i will say no to hardware wallet. I do have cheap android phone which i make it as my cold store for my bitcoin wallet. As for the hot one... the free wallet should be enough. I usually hot store my bitcoin in my exchanger wallet.

Yeah2... not so much there..

If they make hardware wallet like credit card or something, i will consider it. The only thing that hard for me to forget where i put it is my wallet. Seem ppl talk a lot about Trezor but idk. Kinda pricey.

But i think we already have something like debit card for bitcoin or something. do they?

[Vaccomundus]

no too expensive, i like cheap usb, they do the same thing if your pc is safe

[SilverPunk]

Yes, because this is a good investmwnt that is very useful specially if online bitcoin wallets breaks down .it is the safest hardqare to store bitcoins. But i can only buy it .if i have save the right amount to buy one.

[bitcoineverything]

Hardware wallets, for me, are the safest and securest way to keep your bitcoin. You can bring it anywhere you want. The only thing to keep in my mind is to not to lose it.

You can check hardware wallets I recommend here: http://www.bitcoineverything.net/the-most-definitive-post-on-bitcoin-wallets/

I'm already having a wallet and I think a paper wallet is better due to this I would not buy a hardware wallet.
I think its not worth it at the moment.

It depends on how you are going to use, there are certain people prefer to use hardware wallet because they see it as a good secured storage
for their bitcoins. But also there are people doesn't really care at all regarding this matter when there is money involve.
Only few people wants to try using it.

[isen]

Actually ledger wallets are not so expensive,35$ is a very good price for what they offer i have one and i am very satisfied.
Online wallets are good for payments etc. but i would never trust them my bitcoins.

Hi all,

I am doing some research for a Bitcoin company that is interested with developing a hardware wallet to see if it has a viable market. Trezor has some traction, but perhaps only in the existing Bitcoin community. With things like Multi-sig popping up everywhere, do you think this negates some of the pressing need for Hardware wallets? Interested to hear your thoughts.

I would not really... I would just use a paper wallet or a offline USB stick instead of using those complicated hardware wallets. IMO there is seriously no point other than to show off with them.

Paper wallets and physical bitcoins should be the most secure, since they are completely offline before you redeem them.

[quentincole32]

perhaps bluetooth?

Most important is plug and play on any computer without user action like installing drivers, if it can be done with bluetooth, why not, but USB has every computer and bluetooth only some computers.

The most important function is security though

agreed,bluetooth might not on every computer,but i think bluetooth have good function for private file transafer,imagine if we can share file from bluetooth without switch internet connection on. yes i agree,the most important is security function,but also the price will matter for some people,its must be equal with security,good price should mean good security.

[Adrorecia]

For now i dont think i will ever buy or even use a bitcoin wallet at all. That is only because there are allot of people who are just after your coins. And that is so sad the coin is totally not secured at all so dont think i will use wallets.
