Hello,

I just need some safe
So,where do you hold your coins?

Best way to do it is in a wallet paper, there a few secure sites that generate the addresses for u!
I have a few bitcoins in an android wallet but the most of them are in paper (cold walket). Its more secure couse they are not online...

Paper wallets are probably the safest . or you have Brain wallets but that require a good memory and you can forget the passphrase after some years , or month or weeks (depends on you)

The only things is... with paper wallet u have to be carefull with ur private key, couse if u lose it u would never get ur coins back.
Diferent wallets you dont worry about this, it has the Keys inside.
U only need to make a security copy...
U also could have the coins into an exchange if u want to trade with ur coins.

best thing you can do is create a vm(windows/linux) and install light-weight(electrum) wallet and send your coins to that wallet. use that vm only for storing your coins don't use it for any other purpose. Cool

Altcoins on excchanges, as its hard to download a wallet for every coin. However, I tend to now hold large amounts ever.


it might be a time consuming thing to get wallets for every alt, but it will be worth your time when an exchange dies.

And all your coins are lost because you didn't want to take the time to fix some wallets.

I use blockchain recently.

If there're exist, what the name of those wallet ?

Keep altcoin on exchanger doesn't secure forever.

Correct. It's incredibly easy to set up, we have one for BALLS that can be used for the othe two coins, too: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=843495

I definitely recommend them in addition to paper backups

I use a standalone mini IBM laptop now.

It's rarely ever online, only goes on to sync and check market related websites like CoinWarz, Bitcoin Wisdom & others...

I don't trust paper wallets, might as well use paper money at that rate :/

No, fuck that noise, my electronic wallet's an entire Netbook... the wired, Windows 7 ones are rare as gold now.

Next best thing's a Trézor but I like mine to be internet ready and that can play crappy games.  Grin

It depends how much they are worth. If I get a tiny amount from a giveaway that have little value then I risk leaving them on an exchange.

I had one that broke. You need to back it up. Two flash drives under your mattress should do the trick.
