Hello everyone,

I have been doing research on securing bitcoins in wallets and I was wondering what everyone does. I am currently using a few paper wallets. I don't really like it because its a one way street if you want them secure. I was looking at the ledger nano s and was wondering what people thought about it. How many bitcoins can it hold? should I wait for the ledger blue? any opinions will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

I think that desktop wallets such as armory and electrum are also secure, if you are looking for an alternative expect for hardware wallets, consider using desktop wallets. I am currently using an online wallets but I am thinking of installing armory on my desktop for extra security.
The thing which I heard about securing bitcoin is online wallets and offline wallets, yes the benefit of online wallets is that those people who secure their bitcoin but invest daily and need to take out their btc but those people who secure and save their bitcoin for a long time and do not invest daily so offline wallets valid to them.

I keep my personal identification in my email and have 2FA active for it
Atleast I will know if someone's trying to access my account
Bitcoin doesn't have accounts, which means you're using an online service to store Bitcoin, which means it's by definition not very secure.

Although I've posted about it before, this thread made me realize an additional security measure would be not to post any details online about how you store your Bitcoins.

I secure my bitcoins by putting them on a paper wallet which is an affordable wallet which is offline so i am not vulnerable for hacking and i am also planning to have a hardware wallet in the future this coming christmas as a christmas gift to myself because i realized that i saved enough money but i will buy it on christmas so i will not double spend money to myself.

When I using an online bitcoin web wallet, I'm always Enabling 2-Factor-Authentication (like Google authenticator) on my account, and you should have direct control of your bitcoin private keys, if you don't have the keys, you don't control the bitcoin, and I always regularly backup my bitcoin wallet, well it's maybe complicated but it is for our own good, for the simple ways, a hardware wallet like trezor make it easier but this hardware a little bit expensive, I believe once this hardware affordable it will become the solution of bitcoin security

to make sure my bitcoin is safe, I do not say to all my private keys i keep it secret. I also use a hardware wallet or ledger to make it more safe and secure my bitcoin currency.

Bitcoin is a good investment of this century.And it has a weakness too.....,it have been subject to heated debate after varies attacks on bitcoin hear are some solutions for restrict it.........
1. Use a versatile bitcoin client for the purpose of privacy and to hide the IP address that uses in bitcoin.
2.Protect your identity from public for hiding our transaction details.
3.Use an ''escrow service '' if you don't know the second party.
4.Make a backup of our virtual wallet.
5.Encrypt the user space where these files are located.
6.Always aware about two factor authentication.
7.Avoid using wallets on mobile with internet services.
8.Get rid of a virtual wallet which is no longer needed.

You can save some of your important data wherever you like, keep your personal wallet key in a small memory on a mobile phone that is never connected by the internet like a smartphone.

i am choosing electrum than armory in both desktop and android and my desktop is not connected with internet and only connected if i want to transfer my bitcoin. so if you have a plan to installing armory on your desktop, it will be great if you don't connected with internet too to secure your bitcoin if you have huge bitcoin. but for less than 100 bitcoin, i think we can split it into several wallet and each of wallet have 2fa or something like that to give more protection to our bitcoin and our wallet.

I am one of those who do not trust on-line wallets, I am afraid that if I kept my bitcoin there chances are someone can steal it from me or maybe I might forgot my passwords that's why I always convert my bitcoin into cash. Some are using 2 way authentication others are using paper wallets. it depends on you on where do you prefer the security of your bitcoin.

Most noticed do not ever careless every time transact so that we feel more calm each time making withdrawal and delivery of coins to others either directly or indirectly and never give a key to anyone.

The security indeed is very important for bitcoin that we have, especially at this time bitcoin price continue to rise higher.. of course also there are be people who have malicious intent to hacking bitcoin that we have. For me personally I have used the web site for my bitcoin wallet address that I have, that was already used by many people in the country where I live.. it's "TRIV" website, which so far has proved to be safe and so far was safely from hackers.

Paper wallet is one of alternative and cheaper way to store safely your bitcoin but if you really want to store it safely go for your plan to buy ledger nano or trezor.
For my wallet, i usually secure it on a old computer or laptop without internet connection touch to it, without internet connection, hackers and key loggers can't compromise my own PC.
If I'm installing some new wallet that is unknown to me i always test it first to a virtual machine so that if the wallet contains virus, your pc is safe 80%

How do i secured my bitcoins,


Im using a hard wallet for handy and easy access security, particular trezor and ledger. I always checked my accounts and updates like one to three times per week. Hard wallet stuffs should be in a secured deposit box as possible.

Here in my opinion the best option is to secure is only two .
First option is to make private key in offline ( you can get easy process about it in the Google directly )  , that private key will be 100% safe for you because that private key will be made by you in offline and no where is stored .
Second option to get a direct private key frommthe mycellium Wallet and then save that private key at a safe place ( unknown to everyone like new Google drive account , or direct print at paper ) .
Here I am using myselium Wallet currently to store 10+ btc and I didn't faced any problem yet and also I didn't heared anything wrong about mycelium . So we can trust at it easily .
Here my suggestion for you to use either of the two option that is mentioned above , but if you don't want take much tension then you can store your bitcoin in 3-4 accounts of blockchain.info Because blockchain.info is that Wallet which is offical .
