Topic: Keep safe your Bitcoin from hacker - page 39. (Read 4698 times)

There's nothing bad in using hardware wallets but you have to choose that fits you well and this ain't gonna do well if something wrong happens to that online wallet. I don't use any exchange wallet, you don't have fully control to your wallet. Though it will cost you some money in using hardware wallet, I also recommend to use it. I don't own other hardware wallets except ledger wallet. You can also suggest that they can use these  desktop wallets that you can control the private key.

I do not recommend using an online wallet. You need to have a private key, online wallets do not give you a private key. For this reason, you can not take advantage of some opportunities. For full security we strongly recommend you get a hardware wallet.

That's a good advance, and I just want to add that the hackers are unaware of the infamous people especially when they know you're just a beginner here. So be wise, responsible and aware on the things that is happening on your account especially on clicking advertisements that may lead you towards bad consequences.

Thank you for telling people who do not know about bitcoin yet. And I also include people who are still learning about the security of bitcoin purses. This thread is a science that I need to keep and bookmark.

Hacker is the one problem of Crypto world. It can be happened when we save our coin
 through the internet connection. What we are going to do is just to save our coin in a hard wallet that are not connected through the internet connection.

Great information already you give them. Basically I used coinbase wallet for the bitcoin. I think it give me good safety and opportunity.coinbase wallet hack is very difficult.I have good knowledge and skills about coinbase wallet.now you can choice him,if you can like this.

This is a very good input, if I may add do not click on any links we do not know.

If you really want to be safe you leave out section 1 (online wallets) and only talk about offline/hardware wallets.
Online wallets + "keeping your bitcoins safe" don't mix imho.

nice information. we have many new trader come to crypto world but they dont have enough skill to protect their funds

Hmm... You don't need to register an offline wallet. Also, AFAIK, there is no link between extra security and segwit support (correct me if i'm wrong tough).


I've repeated this soooo many times
blockchain.info and blockchain.com = private company
blockchain = technology for a decentral, trustless, immutable datastore on which bitcoin is built
blockchain.info/.com != the blockchain

blockchain.com/info is just using the blockchain name, they are not the inventors of the blockchain technology. They did not write the whitepaper, they are not the only ones that store the complete blockchain (that's why it's called decentral), they have no power to change anything without consensus, they do not have the power to modify transactions in the chain, they do not support anything but their own apps,...

blockchain.info is an online wallet. Eventough it's one of the safer ONLINE wallets, it's still an online wallet thus inherently unsafer than a truely vetted desktop wallet/hardware wallet/offline wallet/paper wallet.

I think nowadays the best place and proven safest to store bitcoin you have is only in blockchain.com because there it is directly stored in place that use to menyimapn and bitcoin transactions.

I think that instead of online wallets the offline ones are a lot safer though the process is a long one of getting registered and bejng able to buy and sell your Bitcoins but it's worth it for the added safety ..
The hardware wallets ar just too much for the ones who are holding just a little amount and.. it's only beneficial for the ones who have huge sum to save.
When we talk about security then one should check out wallets with segWit support like samourai ' .

Yes, what you said was all true but I guess I would choose number one since there are a lot of legit website where we can save our password at but still it doesn't mean that we have to be comfortable with that but If you can handle to memorize your password then that would be great than other tech hardware to keep it. Hardware wallet I guess is not secure because even if there if no hacker but their is theif anyware.

That is a good idea and a good sharing specially that we have a new bitcoiners that are just new in this bitcoin industry. There are lots of scammer and hackers that will take advantage on the newbies or new one so this threads really helps a lot.

That;s a good list of advices, nothing new for me , but it might be very useful for newbies 

Just use Trezor or Ledger and you will be safe

Real hackers (in the classical sense) are only a small part of the problem of online wallets.
It all starts with the fact that when you use an online wallet, you're usually not the only one in controll of your private keys (sometimes you don't even have access to the private keys at all).
You depend completely on the exchange or online wallet to handle all your needs (generating new private keys => public keys => addresses; safely storing those keys; managing your contacts; managing unspent outputs; generating and signing transactions; broadcasting; signing messages;...).

If the online wallet goes bancrupt => best case scenario you're able to restore your wallet somewhere else, worst case scenario you lose everything

If the online wallet doesn't support a certain feature => you're out of luck

If the online wallet has a bug => you'll have to wait untill they fix it

If you have a problem => the online wallet's support team will be the only ones that can help you, so you'll have to wait

If the online wallet turns scam => you lose everything

If the online wallet gets hacked => you lose everything

If you get hacked/infected => you lose everything

If the security scheme or RNG of the online wallet is bad => you lose everything

If you fall for a phising link => you lose everything

---

If you use at least a half-decent wallet, most of the things above do not apply... You should be the only one in controll of your keys, you should be in controll of the software running on your system, you should be in controll of generating new addresses, signing, managing, broadcasting...
Sure, things can still go wrong if you make mistakes, but at least they were YOUR mistakes, not the online wallets'. And IF things go wrong while you're using a decent wallet, at least the rest of the community *might* be able to help you fix things.

Don't click any bait or suspicious link.
You're right, Hacker is the one of problem in Crypto world. And it's can be happened if we save our money in online wallet. So I offline wallet, hardware wallet, and paper wallet are best option to keep your money safe.

Fixed that for you  
Offcourse, you forgot about airgapped cold wallets and paper wallets... They are as safe as a hardware wallet. Online wallets and exchanges do not belong in the same sentence as the word "safe", unless preceded by the word "not"
