I use a mobile wallet, but I keep a very small amount of funds there. In order to carry out fast transactions, it is very convenient.

Don't save your funds in one type of wallet that is easy to crack. Make lots of wallets that break the wealth you have right.

Your exposure to risk depend on the type of mobile wallet you are using.
I use quite a good number of them and I have not had any issue, but I do not know about the newly lunched mobile wallets by other platforms.
Some of them may be designed, primarily to steal the funds of users. Which is why you need to be careful.

Nothing is fool proof. Even Metamask gets hijacked, MyEtherWallet does get copied for information to be phished. Even Binance a known secured cryptocurrency exchange is hacked recently. What makes you think nothing in this industry is dangerous?

Currently im using electrum as of now, but im planning to use one in the future if the wallet is secure and offering lightning network and also segwit, i feel like mobile wallet is much more secure compare to desktop one, especially if your using iOS because iOS is restricted.

Myself too using electrum and btc wallet. This gives the ease of accessing in an mobile. All the private keys backings were kept safe on a separate file as the mobile could get damaged anytime. Whether it is mobile wallet or desktop wallet we need to keep the backing so to use it at the time of need.

I use some wallets on the smartphone, but more for the test. I try to keep fixed assets in paper wallets, as for me this is the most reliable storage. And about the theft of funds from a smartphone, there is not yet any viruses yet that can install themselves without user involvement, care is needed.

Being conscious with securities of your assets is really in need when you use mobile wallets, in fact not only securities from hackers but also from being stolen physically, if you store assets inside your mobile device and the gadget got stole or you lose it then everything will be out of your hands.

Its easy to use when sweeping from a paper wallet and send it out and uninstall the app. Wont use it longer then need.

But from the start I am already using mobile wallet but my stategy is I don't store my token here. When I get my bounty salary I will transfer it to my personal bank account right away for assurance.

A hardware wallet would be the best option ; )

I use it regularly since mobile wallets are relatively convenient. Some apps could enable you to pay for your bills or other stuffs besides being used as a wallet. It does however have many limitations like being unable to use it if there's no internet or if the establishment don't transact with mobile payments.

That is absolutely right. Having a mobile wallet is so dangerous. If youre meticulous about the security i think you should use hardware or paper wallet thats the most secure way in storing your bitcoins. I said that because I think all online wallets are prone to hacking. Phishing links are all over the internet. Your security really depends on yourself. It will be more secure if you use extra features like two way authentication like Google authenticator.

Yes mobile wallet is dangerous but I think your security is depend on your actions. Let your private keys and password secure and private don't let other people will know it even if they are not knowledgable about crypto it is dangerous. But from the start I am already using mobile wallet but my stategy is I don't store my token here. When I get my bounty salary I will transfer it to my personal bank account right away for assurance.

It's dangerous if you don't have a backup of your wallet, I am an Iphone user and I feel safe so far because the iPhone operating system itself is close source, it is quite difficult to enter malware.

I don't know if for users of Android and Windows Phone because cases that often occur are indications of malware on smartphones. I am an IT student and I understand how malware gets into smartphones, so backup your wallet and store it in cold storage, use it as needed if you save it on Android.

Not only mobile wallet but all online wallet also dangerous,

mobile wallet and online wallet are considered as one if you are using a mobile phone and yes all online wallets have risk , thats why its always recomended to store our funds in a hardware wallet .

Quote from: zero714309 on May 11, 2019, 09:49:36 PM

even market with good safety still get hacked so if you want keep your asset for long time its better in offline wallet.

safety ? who says that a market ( crypto market ) is safety ? all kinds of market ( not only on crypto ) are actually have risk as long as its involved money but crypto market is more risky of them all due to unstablenes of cryptos . your right that its always a nice idea to secure our funds in a cold storage or offline wallet if we are going for long term .

I am more looking for security in my assets by storing in a trusted wallet and I use Nano-s at this time there are no obstacles in its use. so in my opinion this is very suitable for me to save it. several times I saved my assets wrongly having a problem

Yes I am. Why you think its more dangerous to use? I think web wallet is more dangerous since it is connected to a source or server which anytime can be breach while mobile wallet has centralized server directly connected on the app? Which do you think has more chance to get breached? See the chances here are big for web wallet. See Binance incident? A sole proof of that. Mobile wallet for me is much safer as it is not connected to more servers.

I think many people still use the mobile wallet. Through the mobile wallet indeed we get the convenience of getting information from our wallet at any time. Every time something happens in our wallet, the information is immediately sent on a mobile basis. There is a notification on our smartphone about that information. But it's true that this mobile wallet is dangerous. Mobile wallet is very risky for hacking. If we do not directly respond to the information provided by the mobile wallet, it is very possible that the information was stolen by someone else to hack this entire mobile wallet.
