Topic: Hardware Wallet for altcoins? (Read 4860 times)
Ledger Nano S by far right now.
I use only TREZOR for gathering my BTC and Altcoin. It's very safe and easy to operate.
I have an extra Raspberry Pi Zero lying around. As there are Linux wallets for most coins, I'm going to research if I could put a cold storage wallet on it.
What about the cheapest option? Just get a good quality usb thumb drive and store wallets on it and have it all encrypted?
It is a cheap option, but security wise a hw wallet has the big advantage, that your private keys never leave the device. The transaction is signed on the device. The computer you use it on never has access to the private key. You cannot achieve this with a normal USB key.

You are wright! The best option for today is Ledger nano S because it supports ERC20 tokens. As a tip you can check availability on different markets (EU, North America) and by there with your home shipping.
As options you can take KeepKey or Trezor (I prefer KeepKey because of design)

"KeepKey" is the most secure and has a nice polish screen not to big not to small, A good buy if your willing to shell out $99

Could you explain why you think the KeepKey is the most secure of the hardware wallets? What does it offer additionaly in terms of security compared to the other solutions? I was looking it up on their site, but couldn't find anything that the others don't have.
Hardware, mobile or any wallet do not matter in fact, if you can take your private keys, take it and close the application and delete it. Store your private key in a safe place and keep it as long as if you want
What poloniex wobble are you referring too?

I recently bought trezor hardware wallet and I must say that I enjoy using it. I haven''t tried all the other hardware wallets but it think trezor works best as well.
So, in the last couple of months I have spread my portfolio to about 20 different tokens.
I am now looking for a hardware wallet to better secure them.
From what I read so far, the Ledger Nano S looks as the preferred choice, mostly for its support for multiple tokens (as opposed to Trezor's BTC only).
Seeing it's on backorder till late July, I was wondering if there are any other recommended hardware wallets?
Also, as my intention is to hodl for 5-10 years, should I consider using paper wallets, instead?
Any other security tips will be much appreciated.
The "Nano s" is the best bang for your buck, it gets the job done its compact, sleek and affordable at $69I am now looking for a hardware wallet to better secure them.

I ordered the ledger nano but it will take like 4 months to deliver. . . . I hope my bitcoins are safe until then
man, all these wallets and they're sold out, makes me wonder if that's not a serious indication of a bubble among cryptosphere
What a bubble? We are in the fact that the crypto become a trend later, they're sold out due to secure the money in the safe place, remember a lot of the hacked case and a lot of the duns already drained from the online wallet. What got me looking into it was several factors; BTC being now worth $4000, the BTC-e fiasco, and the recent Poloniex wobble has me a bit spooked. I have several alt-coins so it'd be nice to consolidate them and not have them locked on my PC or risked on the web.

I looked into hardware wallets and the Ledger S is what I settled on. As others have said, they're sold out until mid-September so hopefully you're not in a hurry. And just to be clear, the Ledger S allows for a paper backup so that if it's lost or damaged you can restore your wallet using the seed.
If you're HODL for 5-10 years, I would definitely do paper.
Electronics have a lifespan, and you don't want to find out when your hardware wallet is about to die. I would only use a hardware wallet if I needed to get access easily on the road, not for 5-10 year holds.

You can use seeds to get your information and coins back if you're using ledger nano S. And I don't think their life span is less than 10 years. Think about 15 yer old mp3 players. They're still working.
