It is very difficult to assess which hardware wallet is better at Ledger user data leaks, Trezor fake applications here for example, fresh Trezor users who installed a fake application from the iPhone's App Store lost $1.6 million reports washingtonpost Trezor company said that "for many years notifies Apple and Google about fake applications issued for the company's product." https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/03/30/trezor-scam-bitcoin-1-million/

Apple explained that developers of fraudulent applications often send initially harmless services for verification, and then turn them into phishing services.

The company said that the fake Trezor app got into the App Store fraudulently and was initially positioned as a cryptographic service for encrypting files and storing passwords, not related to cryptocurrencies

The other day Trezor discovered another similar app on Google Play https://twitter.com/Trezor/status/1376479975952547847

I would choose trezor, because the Trezor T works with the 12 word recovery seed given during your wallet setup which you can use to reactivate your account on a new Trezor T device if your old one is damaged, lost or stolen, and you don't need to update the firmware when you want to store different crypto assets, the user interface and work platform which looks aesthetically pleasing make this my top choice for choosing this hardware wallet.

Are there people with a good amount of crypto but store it in wallets like electrum or similar ones?

Of course, there are such people, so although it is not recommended to use Electrum or any other desktop wallet as a hot wallet (for a good amount of coins), the degree of security depends on how much that person is aware of the dangers to which he/she may be exposed and whether he/she knows how to protect himself from them. Properly configured Electrum on a computer that is 100% virus/malware clean, and has adequate protection is not something that should be considered insecure, but why risk it that way if one hardware wallet costs only about $50?

If you look back a few posts, then you can see that Electrum can also be used as a cold storage (airgapped device), and a watch - only wallet (online device).

Plan is to buy on coinbase pro.
Wanna send it to a hardware wallet as I'm gonna HODL the next years. No Intention in trading. Whats the best hardware wallet to buy?
I feel like going with the Leder nano S or the TreZor one.
Whats your preference?

Both of them are great you just need to buy it on their official site so you wouldn't get scammed or get a fake one if there are any.
I bought Nano Ledger because it was the first Hardware walley that I know you could always compare them look at their pros and cons and compare them to each other.

Well, those are reputable wallets that perhaps give a safeguard on your crypto investment. But first, remember to purchase only on the legitimate and authorized online distributor's shop. Nothing else I can recommend when we talk about hardware wallet, both have good feedback but the problem of most they purchase in the wrong store --because there are tampered hardware wallet that means easy for them to trace back and get your fund inside. However, if you know this already it is better to avoid second-hand hardware devices.

Both are reputable.

It seems that many are still into Ledger Nano S and haven't availed yet the X one just like me. And based from experience, it's still a good wallet and it's good with any of the version as long it's from Ledger.

But be careful where you purchase your hardware wallet, buy on approved retailers or buy it from the manufacturer itself.

When it comes to hardware then i do only trust up these two.

https://www.ledger.com/
https://trezor.io/

There are other HW do exist but nothing beats out when it comes to the reputation and legitness of these two.

Trezor 100%, speaking from personal experience I recommend it. It’s out there 100% in the lead of anything else.

Ledger Nano S is my choice because it has a lot of features and good security. for some other hardware wallets, I haven't tried many.

Using a hardware wallet is more secure than using a software wallet or mobile wallet.

There is a new hardware wallet that was launched a few months ago and fully supported by Binance, namely SafePal which was a trending topic because it provided a large enough airdrop for initial users of the application and hardware wallet.

Maybe you have an old computer that you don't use anymore, or maybe you can buy something like that cheap? I suggest that before buying HW, you explore the possibility of storing your coins in a way called cold storage. All you need is a device that is airgapped (no internet access) and free software like Electrum. This type of storage is even more secure because you will not expose your personal information when buying, and you will be protected from all possible vulnerabilities that can be found in the future with any hardware wallet.

You can read more information at the following link -> https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/coldstorage.html

Of course, if you decide on something like this, in order to be 100% sure in the software you use, you have to verify it before installation - and also make sure that your backup (seed) is properly protected.

I will also support all the answers in favor of the Ledger Nano S and Trezor. They both give you the peace of mind to keep your coins securely. They enjoy a good reputation in the market.
But the main security will always depend on you. From your correct actions, do not lose access to the physical medium, so as not to lose your funds. . I would recommend reading all the advantages and disadvantages of wallets so that you can independently evaluate which is more preferable for you.

Just use trezor, they have existed since the old days and I personally use it and have no problem with it though the software sometimes kinda glitchy (rarely though) if you try to login from different computer that has different "environment" but it's overall never disappoint me and until now I've never lose any crypto by using this hardware wallet, the newer hardware wallet might looks catchy and all but I prefer reliability Grin

Both are good, I've bought mine way back in 2017 and it is worth it. I feel secured since I keep my private key. Just make sure to order it directly on their website rather than individual resellers because there might be a risk it already tampered and you might lose your funds instead of securing them. Make sure to keep a hard copy of your seed phrase for back up.

How do you get (verified) Electrum?

I download it always by hand from electrum.org (typed, not searched)
And I do the steps from here to verify the download before use: https://bitcoinelectrum.com/how-to-verify-your-electrum-download/

First of all, I recommend you read this thread: [GUIDE] How to buy a Hardware Wallet the right way
The point is that it has already happened that people bought hardware wallet and their home address has leaked onto the internet. This may be of concern, hence you may want to take some precautions.

Now about the preferences, I do have a Nano S and I'm happy with it. It was not that expensive and it does the job well. And it looks somewhat close to an USB stick.
I use the HW with (verified) Electrum and seldom with Mycelium. Imho Ledger live is crap as wallet.

Good advice, I also had some frustrating issues with Ledger live POS. Mainly with them dropping Win7 support and the endless updates going on, inspires not much trust.
I'm not versed in how to access Electrum with the NanoS. How do you get (verified) Electrum?

Whats the best hardware wallet to buy?

Best hardware wallets are open source and they care about your privacy and security of information you send them when you order it.
Company that had multiple leaks, and has secret NDAs with closed source hardware and software is not a good choice for purchasing hardware wallet.
I would choose some of those open source wallets and use passphrase option as 25th word:

- ColdCard
- Bitbox
- Trezor

Other hardware wallets can also just work fine if you want to take more risk, and it is important the way how you order them so try to use PO boxes and alternative phone numbers.

Always remember that seed words are more important than your actual hardware wallet device, so keep it in safe place.
