Topic: Good wallet to store Bitcoin Cash ? (Read 6768 times)

Exodus is a desktop wallet on where we can store multiple currency including bitcoin cash and also at the same time it gives us chance to convert crypto on that desktop wallet which save our time to exchange on exchanger.

iam using exodus since many years now for altcoins .
Great wallet with great team and many improvements now after some years in Business !

regards

I can only suggest the above mentioned is the electrum fork wallet for BCH https://electroncash.org/

Just verify the wallet before installing it on your device to avoid from phishing and fake wallet https://github.com/Electron-Cash/keys-n-hashes

If anyone want to say that coinbase is a secure web wallet then why not telling other exchanges there are a lot of exchange site who accept bitcoin cash? What is the difference them with coinbase? When someone ask for secure web wallet I think it cant be any exchange, eg: coinbase.

It is there on site itself but could you see how many of the wallets are private key secured one.
Coinbase and some other exchange base wallets are not really needed while we are looking for high security. However, good try to share wallets.

For this you can directly search at the bitcoincash site right!

Here is the link for you to check the best wallets as described on bitcoincash.org

Android wallets.

Yes, blockchain.info is one of the best web wallet for bitcoin, ethereum, bitcoincash and XLM. blockchain.info is very much safe no one can restore your password if you do not share seed and if you keep secret your logins. There is almost no possibility to be hacked.

I don't still recommend web wallet for holding your seeds and private keys because there is a possibility that owners of blockchain or some staff out there are those who hack users account they are just using that "users don't know the basic security practice" as an excuse but the fact is it is inside job.

Look at some users who complain about their account even their wallet is fully protected with 2fa or any protection needed when using their wallet, they are still hacked.

But users have full access of its recovery seed, most wallet now is in HD wallets where they only offer its mnemonic seed due to the fact that it's hard to familiarize a private key while recovery seed is much more easy to understand and familiarize especially for these newbies.

Most the blockchain wallet complains about hacks, lost funds and scam are from newbies who doesn't know its basic practice on how to secure their accounts, while, on the other site, complains of its old users are its buggy platform, syncing issues, sometimes its inappropriate fees.



 

No, it's still not recommended to use blockchain as a wallet because it's an online wallet and you dont have full control of your private key unlike before.
The only recommended wallet for bitcoin cash I think is Electron wallet or a hardware wallet if you want to store your bitcoin cash for a long time.

Even you are using 2fa on the blockchain it still not safe to use there are many people complain about their wallet and most of them are scam and security problem or hacked that blockchain support doesn't help so use a wallet which you have full control over the private keys.

Blockchain.com wallet isn't a bad choice, just remember to activate 2 factor authentication once logged in and do not reuse passwords you have used before and check that you are also using the legit site.

https://coinswitch.co/news/best-bitcoin-cash-wallets-2019 is a good list to store bitcoin cash. Thanks you very much for sharing such an excellent link of bitcoin cash.

Bitcoin Cash was formed as a result of the difference in viewpoints within the BTC community about how to scale the network. As people started using Bitcoin, the network struggled to keep up with the volume of transactions.
There are many other Bitcoin cash wallets that support storing of BCH. The latest bitcoin cash wallets comparison gives a clear idea about the best BCH wallets to store BCH.So do your own research and choose the best wallet suitable for you.

I am using blockin.info too to store bitcoin, bitcoin cash and also ethereum. I am not worried about btc and eth but I am worried about bitcoin cash as I have still not found any way to restore bitcoincash if I cant login into blockchain.info.

Exodus wallet is known hackable before that is why until now I don't use them and I don't recommend this to hold all of your coins in one basket.

The only recommended to use is Electron Cash that already mentions above as desktop wallet that you have full control over the private keys.
So that if there is hard or soft fork coming you can simple transfer your coins to a new wallet and redeem your fork coins to other wallet with your private keys.
If you use any online web or other wallets that don't have a feature to full control your own wallet you can't redeem your fork coins.

Exactly, high fee's is one issue with them and of everything here is hackable so I wouldn't say that they are secure, it's really up to us to know how to protect our wallets.

I wouldn't trust those online web wallets. Will still go with hardware wallets to hold your BCH specially if you are planning to be a long term holder.

you can check on the settings if exodus supports costumizing fee .  other wallets like coinomi do have that feature and you can easily adjust it on the lowest possible value but expect that your transaction will take more time to arrive  .  i do heard exodus before and i heard that its a good wallet but i still prefer the popular ones such as blockchain and electrum for storing bch and other cryptos as well  .

I used Exodus desktop wallet earlier but I have no good experience by using it. I noticed it's fee is high comprising with other wallet eg: coinbase, blockchain, electrum etc.

I think this is the best choice. I use Exodus without problems for storing and exchanging coins. They offer Changenow for quick swapping. Great choice!

Thanks for sharing the link so that everyone can find under one roof what the options available for the people and accordingly after their research they can use it. Also always be careful and do not store password on mobile or laptop. Write it down on paper and keep it and share with some close family so that in case you forget anything they are aware about it.

All types of wallets has merits and demerits as everything has merits and demerits. For web wallets has some advantages on the same time it has some disadvantages on the other hand it is same for the hardware wallet.

You should be aware of the problem or potential problem of Hodler wallet. Darkstar described it nicely.

If you're going for medium or long-term cold storage, consider getting one or two Ledger/Trezor wallets. Either one works as long as the devices are genuine. Trezor provides a guide here (click here) if you're unsure if your device is genuine, and Ledger also provides a pretty comprehensive guide (click here) to ensuring your device is genuine as well. As for the usability and which one to get, I personally prefer the Ledger wallet as that was my first hardware wallet and I like the form factor of the Ledger more personally, but either the Ledger or Trezor works in the end as they're both very secure devices to use for cold storage if the correct precautions are taken.

I know a lot of crypto wallets that you can use. You can even check the ones listed here: https://www.coins-info.com/news/crypto-wallet/

I currently Holding Bitcoin cash and Holding it in my Hodler wallet, I find it safe and secure so far. Since I hold multiple kind of coins, I prefer Hodler since it can store all preffered coins even ERC20 token. You should check it out, they will also be introducing hardware wallet soon.

Personally I have used ledger, trezor, and jaxx.
I like the interface on the Jaxx wallet especially the mobile app on Android.

I just want to share my own experience. I used FIATO app of Kryptono Exchange for a month and I find it really fast and convinient. They are having some interesting promotion right now so if you want to have some KNOWs. https://fiato.kryptono.exchange/

Dear Capt00, sorry to hear you've had this impression about Freewallet team! Could you please tell us what exactly was the reason you've found our service unsatisfactory? Could you please provide us with your support ticket number so that we could look into this case and assist you accordingly? We are open to all kinds of opinions and are eager to learn more about how we can improve our service and product. Thank you in advance!

What's that Freewallet? You mean that Freewallet.org? oh, com' on. For me, that is a scam wallet I never use that kind of wallet.
I had coins and tokens on that Freewallet.org but I can't withdraw my funds, I already emailed of their support team but only bot message replies I only received. Much better I use blockchain.com wallet for my Bitcoin cash compared to that wallet.

maybe you can use freewallet with a very low fee

Hardware wallet is the safest and best way to store any cryptocurrency. Some of the best bitcoin cash hardware wallets are - Ledger Nano S, Trezor, Coinomi, and KeepKey.

There are other types of wallets for storing BCH like mobile wallets, desktop wallets, web-based wallets, and paper wallets. Check the latest bitcoin cash wallets comparison and choose the best BCH wallet.

There are conceptually two broad categories of the wallets you are looking for.

1. Online wallets: In these wallets it needs you to connect to the internet and then save your stakes. However, you need to essentially keep your “private keys” secure to safeguard your hard earned BTC. A few to recommend would be Exodus, Electrum, Coinomi, Jaxx etc.

2. Offline wallets: On the other hand, in offline wallets, they are not just hardware wallets. Practically any wallet that never needs to connects to the internet to interact falls under this category. However, technically the moment you connect to the internet they no longer remain “Offline”. Here you just need to download the link and install it. A few to recommend would be Bitcoin Core, Bitcoin paper wallet, Ledger, Nano S, Trezor, Electrum, etc.

Now it is you who has to decide which one to choose. But generally as long as you can keep your private keys secure you could use either one.

go to https://www.bitaddress.org
find the source at the bottom of the page https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org/archive/v3.3.0.zip
move this to a clean and offline computer.
open it.
move your mouse around until it shows 100%
now copy the private keys that it generated for you and save them. preferably write them down or safely print them on a paper and keep it safe.

now you own a bitcoin cash paper wallet for your cold storage. send your funds there and later when you wanted to spend them just install a wallet of your choice, sweep the paper wallet and have fun.

I'm also using Coinomi for Bitcoin Cash and I'm happy with this wallet. Never tried btc.com wallet, but should be good, because it's well known and trusted wallet. I used Electron Cash wallet, but i had problems to use it, because I think there was some bugs in this app.

I too would recommend btc.com's bch wallet. I've used it without issue, collected my scattered BCHs there before sending them to an exchange.

the btc.com bitcoin cash wallet is also available for android.

With the web wallets of bitcoincash is there an option to just upload your wallet.dat and it automatically will reckognise your bitcoincash?  Is this a good way of doing things or are you guys sending your bcash to a webwallet for storing? idk.

And yes i would have move all my other regular original bitcoin out of the wallet.dat file before doing this. 

Btc.com is already known to be trustworthy in the community, so I suggest that sivesta  should use that. Blockchair.org is new, so be careful with that service.

i'm using http://btc.com and https://blockchair.org for bitcoin cash.

Use btc.com's BCC webwallet. They are good enough for small amounts just like blockchain.info. If you have a bigger amount of BCC then always use a desktop wallet. Electron Cash is available if you want an SPV wallet and of course there is the BCC wallet if you have the resources to download the whole blockchain.

If you are reading a lots of post here in forum you can see that saving your bitcoin or any altcoin are not safe in exchange site..
So in my own advised better to use a wallet which is you can fully control about your private keys ..
Like the above said i think electron can be safe just like other said that they are not having any issue except for other who experience some issue about electron cash wallet.. 
If you just move them into exchange site like other said its risky and don't hold lots of coins if you really want to hold them for a long time in exchange site...

I think BTC.com have also added bitcoin cash wallet recently so you can use them as hot wallet but if you like to make cold wallet than you can just make a pair of bitcoin address in bitcoin paper wallet generator and use it as bitcoincash paper wallet because both have similar address and private key pairs.

electron maybe can be best option for store bitcoin cash if we have big amount of bcc. but for me which have small bcc amount, i only safe it in exchanges so i can sell it when the price is higher like in bittrex yesterday. today, poloniex has open bcc market and i see the price is moving too fast and if we can follow the price, then we can take a good profit with bcc.

Yeah i think electron is enough since its electrum recommends so i think its safe wallet they are just having some issue before but i think they updated the client software that i think  you can save your bitcoin cash right now without worrying about the the security..

If you're looking for a software wallet, I'm not sure why you have a thread in the "Web Wallets" section.

The current Bitcoin Cash wallets don't appear to be the most stable things in existence, since they're in early development.

If you want an SPV wallet Electron Cash is the main one, but the binaries are signed with a pseudonym rather than real people.  If you want a full node you could use Bitcoin ABC.

Some earlier full-node implementations that have been around for longer also support Bitcoin Cash, notably Bitcoin XT, Bitcoin Classic and Bitcoin Unlimited.  You could try these as full nodes as well.

Ideally you would spread your coins between a couple of different wallets.  I don't fully trust any of them really, but full nodes tend to be the best choice so that you can be sure that your wallet is following the consensus rules.

Thank you but i'm kind of looking for a software wallet or an android wallet if possible

I would use btc.com if you want a web wallet. They have recently launched this service and it seems pretty nice. But make sure that you do not store too much in there because ultimately, it is a web wallet, and it's less secure.

For desktop clients you can basically use any of the suggested wallets on bitcoincash.org.

Personally when i split my bitcoin cash i used electron cash and had no issues. It's just a clone of electrum, for bitcoin cash. See here for a complete list of wallets that are endorse by the bitcoin cash team: https://www.bitcoincash.org/

Honestly though i would just dump my BCH as soon as i get it...

I'm using Coinomi currently to store all my Bitcoin cash but i want to split them and send the other half to another wallet.
Any wallet with a high security level can be used to store Bitcoin Cash ?
