You cannot be talking of recommended cryptocurrency wallets without mentioning the trust wallet and I didn't see that on your website.

I don't see a single reason to recommend "trust wallet".

It is just another random closed source wallet with no specific features other wallets don't have.
And the fact that it is being hyped that much by relatively new (or low level) accounts just makes me more suspicious.

Definitely wouldn't specifically recommend it.

He did mention it in the list, Look carefully again, thou its obvious OP was looking for referrals
What's with people and hyping wallets that are not open source. Top of the list of software wallets should be a wallet like Electrum.

Probably just paid shills.

The Coinbase you listed can be recommended to people in some regions in the world but not Africa which they restrict from enjoying the benefits of fiat currencies trading like they offer to other countries.

The Coinbase has 3 different products

1. Coinbase Pro (advanced exchange) - https://pro.coinbase.com
2. Coinbase (Simple exchange and custodial wallet) - https://www.coinbase.com
3. Coinbase wallet (Non-custodial wallet) - https://wallet.coinbase.com

OP should be talking about the third option that lets you access and back up private keys but again he was after making referrals.

OH... That was my bad. May be I didn't allow the page to open completely before I exited.

Thank you. I may go for hardware wallet. I think its the best.

Some things you may need to consider first:
- What coins do you want to save, whether the hardware wallet supports them.
- Hardware wallet connectivity features such as cable, Bluetooth, NFC, air gap, card reader, etc.
- Support from developers for the development/updating of hardware wallet applications.
- Price considerations.

You're welcome.

Hardware wallets are safer but the one that I'm using is with Ledger. Choose from Nano S or Nano X, any of the two will do as long as you can avail it.

I start using Jaxx Liberty wallet. Do you suggest me another ? I want to have all the alternative coins to that and dont have a lot of wallets. Also fees must be low.

You pay the fees for the blockchain, not the wallet. They are the same everywhere.

If a wallet charges you an extra fee on top of the blockchain network fees, then you should move on to another wallet.

For ETH and ERC20, use MyEtherWallet

For ETH and Erc20, use MyEtherwallet through Metamask cause using MyEtherwallet direct is not safe.

I will advise you to choose Ledger hardware wallet due the vulnerability said about Trezor last year although I haven't read if the vulnerability is fixed or not but it better to use the safe product. However, there are some certain altcoin which the hardware wallet dont support.

Is there an open source wallet, with ETH and ETH classic and more coins

Hi ermis1975. I saw you asking here after your thread on the web wallets. If the purpose of keeping your ETH, ETC and other coins is for long term holding. I like to advise you to buy a hardware wallet. Any of the two will do.

your best bet is probably using MyEtherWallet since they are both the same thing (ETC is the immutable version of ETH without the rollback) and according to their site it seems like they do support switching between the two networks.

Also fees must be low.

If you are concerned about fees, use another wallet and not Jaxx. Jaxx won't allow you to enter the fees manually, you have to rely on their estimates. Many wallets tend to overpay on fees and Jaxx is not different than the rest. You can only pick between their estimates of High, Medium, or Low fees.

For BTC, use Electrum.org;
For ETH and ERC20, use MyEtherWallet;
For Altcoins, use Coinomi or Guarda.

OP, check Veriphi's review, and add some of them in your list, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aZ1zbaUEzCo9NCctN8-eL2VLIiSdY009tTJvRXDUWEw/edit?usp=sharing

Some people might not like the reviews though because maybe it discourages some of their favorite wallets.

I think its a good list for brand new ppl getting into crypto for the first time.

I don't think so.
Why would you teach new people bad habits ?

Crypto is basically be your own bank.
With using web wallets and other online services to store your coins, you are relying on central entities to store your coins. Nothing is decentralized about that.

There are extremely good and privacy-focused wallets available. And there are wallets with an extremely easy-to-use GUI available.
But you didn't mention any of them.

And yes, they are referral links.... why wouldnt i use them.

Conflict of interest, maybe?
Objectively, your list is horrible.

I mine nimiq to trust wallet, then transfer to coinbase if i want to cash out or transfer to ledger to store large amounts long term.
I have plenty of desktop wallets on my laptop for all the speculative coins i mined and even some of the big ones.

Using a lot of wallets in the same device that contains a hot wallet is considered a problem, the fewer the number of wallets the less problems.
Your list is good, but you have to differentiate between the wallet and the transfer exchange. The wallet is a tool for managing your private keys, and therefore the possibility of buying through it is considered a disadvantage as the less Internet connection the better.

I can suggest that you divide the list into wallets and platforms to make things safer.

AFAIK, you can also use MyEtherWallet, MetaMask for nimiq
