Topic: Please Buy a Hardware Wallet - page 2. (Read 2833 times)
Well, this would seem to serve your interests, protecting you from the risk of being hacked by hackers.
This good and nice promoting hardware wallet and I am very agree on this because hardware wallet was to secure your coins to those hacker because hardware wallet was a offline wallet and never been track or open online of those hacker and it is better than online wallet because it is easy to hack and even you have private key or password they can hack it because it is in online. So that hardware wallet was most idea for storage of coins.
Everyday I come on here and read a sad story about someone getting hacked and losing their Bitcoin / Ethereum. I hate reading them but its like a car accident on the side of the road, you can't help but look. Once you read the story it's clear that it could have been avoid had the user used a hardware wallet. I dont have alot of Bitcoin or Ethereum but I recently purchased my own hardware wallet to keep them secure, I strongly suggest others in my situation (less than 1BTC total invested) to go out and buy a hardware wallet. Right now.
Why do small fries need a hardware wallet?
We are the most vulnerable because we are less experienced. Most of us haven't experienced losing coins yet, either directly or through a friend. We probably download shit we shouldn't, left our private keys in some email we sent (I haven't done this but I could see myself doing something this stupid when I first started) and probably leave our desktop wallets open a bit too long. The small fries are vulnerable so we need to protect our investments.
What is a hardware wallet
Its a devise that essentially stores your private key on it so you can't be keylogged and requires you input a password onto it, not your computer, before unlocking the wallet AND withdrawing any coins. Its safe, its secure and only the person with possession of the hardware wallet can withdraw funds (at least I've been told no one has legitimately hacked a hardware wallet without possession of it). It's easy to use. When you use a Ledger Nano S and activate it, the devise presents you with a private passphrase that does not show up on your computer. You write down the pass phrases, by hand (do not type it out, take a photograph, or anyhing of the like), and if you lose or break your hardware wallet you can buy another and gain access to it with the private passphrases. If you are really concerned about the passphrase being lost, buy a fireproof, waterproof safe and ziplock your private passphrase (waterproof safes are known to trap condensation which gets things wet - wet paper with pen = lost writing) so its airtight and lock it up. Its really secure so long as you keep the pass phrase safe.

I have all my valuable crypto, that's currently supported, on my Ledger. My Bitcoin, Ethereum and you can bet your ass once Deep Onion is supported it will be safely secured on there too. The Ledger is easy to use and the instructions are crystal clear. At less than $80, there is no reason not to protect your investment. Even if you only have $250 in BTC/ETH, you will buy more so you might as well buy one of these now.
I don't want to read another story about someone getting robbed of their Bitcoin and I want our community to flourish. Secure your coins!
Nice advice, And for those who cannot afford the external wallet for the main time should be very careful with the way they keep their private keys till you get one for yourself to keep your crypto coins safe. Its so painful to loss your fund to those who never laboured for it. you can also used 2Factor authentificator to back up for maximum security of your funds.

For me this is waste of money - a cold wallet. If you have less than 20 Bitcoins then why do you need to buy a cold wallet? Enough two-factor authentication and proper storage of your keys
Hardware wallets are definitely recommended. We all need to take especially good care of our holdings. Too many scams and malware around, and more will come as Crypto becomes more mainstream. Be careful!
why must the bitcoin hardware to secure the wallet do not have to be and many ways to use Google Authenticator and other applications easily and can be used more easily

That post is very kind and concerning from the OP, I really think that everyone should learn how to use a HARDWARE WALLET and know that having a hardware wallet can give you much more SECURITY rather than storing it on your wallets from these websites or application, I ain't hating on thee software wallets though, but I'm pretty sure that everyone understands how the internet works and how hackers can actually breach onto your wallets instantly.
Is good to get one hardware for more secure and safety but all still burn down to the main person using it cause if he still don't keep it very well then he is bound to be rob again and again using some cold wallet is cool too but main thing is how safe your key are or are you the loosing type that don't keep things jealously , then if so you can get hacked .
Hardware wallets are very much needed. We all need to take care of our holdings. Too many scams and malware is more nowadays, So the hardware wallet is good, it cannot be hacked or scammed.
This is a good topic, a hardware wallet is a useful thing.
Keep your money in it is much safer than on the stock exchange. After all, in fact, the money that you keep on the exchange - not your money, they belong to the exchange. At any moment she can freeze them and you will never see them.

it seems that it is not too important to buy a hardware wallet because you can store the bitcoin or coins that you have in the exchange or store them directly like when you have bitcoin then you can save them in blocckhain directly which provides a free wallet for those of you who want to save bitcoin.
I think hardware wallet is recommended, it will be safe for secure our coins in those wallet and cracking wallets for hackers is difficult.
i think hardware wallet works great for amatuer and hodlers. you need better security and access when your portfolio is growing bigger and bigger.
I strongly agree. We all must be very careful about our ownership. Too many scams out there. But the wallet must be safe from a company that can be trusted because some of these wallets can also steal everything you have, it's good to know which ones can be trusted.
We should know where to put our coins away from hackers. There are many about lost coin because they do not used safe wallet and putting it on exchange very long moment which is not used even for trading but holding which is wrong. There is wallet that can be trusted so that people won't be paranoid what they have, they just have to take action for that and do not believe on free that easy. 
We need to secure and protect our assets and money from hackers who are always looking to steal our profits and information. So we should buy hardware wallet to make securing our assets. Trezor and Ledger nano s is well known in the market for hardware wallet so far I know so will buy one of them for protection.

Personally, I'm not comfortable with hardware wallets. Call me paranoid, but my cold storage is on air-gapped PC. Transactions signed on cold wallet and pushed from a machine that connects to the internet. I don't really know the level of competency of these manufacturers. And I also prefer the idea of using generalized hardware vs. specialized cryptocurrency wallet hardware because the latter puts a target on your back for theft. Again -- yes, I am paranoid. Better safe than sorry, though.
Also, people should avoid third party sellers, Amazon, etc. when buying hardware wallets. There are ways to see if your device has been tampered with, but it's safe to assume most noobs won't bother to look. Buy only directly from the manufacturer if you want to use hardware wallets.
Here in our country, there are some third-party websites that sell ledger wallets and some of them have a huge price difference between those legitimate websites that sell this kind of stuff. Those third-party websites that sell ledger have a very suspicious price compare to the real price, I think these people are luring newbies with their huge price difference.
I'm not discouraging anyone to use a hardware wallet I just want to tell everyone that plans to buy a hardware wallet to be vigilant and don't get fooled by scammers.
This is a useful recommendation. For some reason, many people think about the safety of their coins in the last place and this is the most important for investment. And never store all your coins on exchanges. It's unsafe. I advise you to spend money on hardware wallet.
Granted, this is great advice for newbies and more. But for safety, paper wallets are not inferior to hardware.
that could be a good recommendation, where there are now a lot of hacking cases and that can be a safeguard. other than that we are not worried about other things that override our assets if we store in a hardware wallet.
Hardware wallets now have many benefits, besides being able to store various assets can also be used to avoid the risk of being hacked. This can be secured because the nature of the hardware wallet is only connected to the PC when needed. become safer than online wallet.

Or run your own node as a wallet with your coins in. At least you earn a profit from it., and your coins become productive. It's what I am doing with Horizen coin. There are a lot of people with a hardware wallet, how many times Ledger has been out of stock?
