I heard bad news from one of my friends, he is a bounty who has had a pretty good income. recently he lost the token bounty and also eth that he has in his wallet and estimated the amount is very large. I am afraid that I will experience also, what to do for token, ETH and also we can not be stolen by others, can you seniors provide the best solution for me and also my friend. what type of wallet do you use to store your eth and btc safe?
This is also a problem that many people are interested. Today, stealing tokens, eth, btc and many other valuable altcoins are occurring so much, so care must be taken to protect them. For ERC20 and ETH tokens, I usually use MEW, it is too familiar and common. However, when using, you should use the access methods recommended by MEW, absolutely should not be accessed by the private key because it is very easy to leak information.

Hi defriadi,

Don't know if it helps that much but it might be useful for you to check out our list of Wallets here: https://www.cryptowisser.com/wallets/

The current champion among wallets (all categories) according to the cryptocommunity seems to be Trust Wallet.

All the best,

 Smiley  well for me and I'm trying more eth has a safe place because it has a private key that you hold and it's not easy to steal other likes to get your token and comportable to use. we also have a token that it's secure. in the btc wallet well it's so much simpler that the eth wallet is always the system demanding because it is safer and I can not even say about btc because I also use the btc wallet for my coins.ph and also i uses imtoken wallet but I usually use the eth wallet.

since ethereum is not immutable it means storing it also has another huge risk. today you may store ETH and a bunch of tokens, tomorrow they can change everything because they want to and because it is centralized and you lose all that you stored and go back to zero.

Do not tell your private key and password and bookmarks that you think are important.

Keepkey, Ledger or Trezor. This is a special hardware wallet where you have to confirm each coin transfer. The point is that the private key will never leave the hardware wallet, it just signs the transactions you confirm manually on the screen where the coins will be sent.

Do not use 1 wallet address for your tokens just like my friend also who had reported that his tokens innhis digital wallet has been stolen. The password has been cracked and for sure the hacker would left yo nothing even a single token. Well just consider storing you tokens in a application digital wallet like desktop wallet that uses offline method so as not to compromise your password or any details that could to your digital wallet be hacked. You can also ise paper wallet foe storing your bitcoin or ether but i do not know if paper wallet supported ether or other altcoins. Much better trade your tokens to bitcoin or ether and store in 3 different digital wallet.

It sounds like your friends private keys were compromised.  No wallet is safe if you lose or expose your private keys.  Watch out for phishing websites if you're using myetherwallet.  Bookmark it and always triple check the URL. 
I think if using Myetherwallet it is best to buy Ledger Nano S because it will guarantee more security. I personally have been trading in this market for a long time and Ledger should be considered the safest wallet in the Cryptocurrency market because it helps me hold better properties than all other wallet.

There are numerous application abd programs that offer security for your bitcoin and other cryptocurrency investments. Coins.ph in the philippines is a very versatile mobile application that both offer security and transactions within the app for bitcoin and ethereum. Anothdr way of storing coins is through what we call hardware wallets. Trezor and Ledger are the best ones for me as they offer 2 point security that will surely give nice security for your bitcoin abd altcoin investments

In the online world of hackers are very fierce in stealing what we have, we must save our eth and bitcoin safely, use a market that has high security and include 2FA code. it will make you more secure.

I'm assuming that your friends used MEW to store his ETH or tokens. There has been a lot of news since last year about how you should be careful on using MEW because there are a lot of phishing sites out there trying to emulate the website. So again your friend might be another victim. I have stored a few tokens myself in MEW by so far I haven't experience any attack because I'm very careful of going around the web and clicking links and I bookmark MEW just to be safe. If he is holding big amounts then I suggest he should be storing in a hardware wallet. You can check this: (https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet). Just be careful and secure your wallet ASAP.

You should buy a hardware wallet, and copy the seed phrase on paper in more than one safe location. Some people put them in safety deposit boxes etc.

Some people will hold half the seed in 1 place and the other half in a second location. Dont take a picture or save it to a computer.

What I can say is that everything connected to the net can be hacked. So we must be very careful on our digital wallets and we must do some precautionary measures. What would be your options for securing your wallets?

1. Paper Wallets - This is considered the safest way to store any Cryptocurrency. This can be done by having your wallet address and private keys on a piece of paper. MyEtherWallet has a function wherein we can print the details of our wallet as well as QR codes. Keep it in a safe box for more security.
2. Desktop/Mobile Wallet - As much as possible, we should have separate laptop or pc aside from what we use for trading and other internet-based activities. If it is possible, isolate the said laptop from the internet. It is for your own safety.

Everybody is promoting hardware wallets these days, but they aren't cheap. There are also safe methods of storing coins on your computer without having to spend money on a hardware wallet. One of those methods is going offline and generating a new set of private and public keys and writing them down (not printing because the printed documents can be accessed if someone steals your HDD, hacks in, or simply steals the whole pc from your house. This si probably the safest way to store coins, but it has some downsides, like the time it takes to rewrite the key to be able to spend your coins.
If you are not spending money to safe guard your coins, then what is the purpose of investing in it, you can get a hardware wallets around $100 and are you telling that it is expensive considering the amount of money you are investing in it, people are getting too paranoid about wallet safety, the only thing you need to do is to have a secure system and enough back ups, until you advertise that you are having a huge number of wealth saved in bitcoin, no one is going to steal your hard disk. I usually store my coins in multiple drives with portable electrum and ETH and other tokens in MEW, make sure you book mark the site as they are many phishing sites just with the same interface.

It was really very bad which happened to your friend. I keep my Token in two ways. I always use that account which has 2FA Authentication Security System. Because that wallet has 2FA Authentication system those accounts are very secure than any other. I also use Hardware wallet. Hardware wallet is the best for keeping Token.
