Topic: Wallet? (Read 224 times)

Okey,
I've been informing myself and I decided to get myetherwallet for the moment until I learn more about cryptocurrency and do bigger inversions..

Thanks to all of you
 

your wallet type will depend on what could be and how you want to access them.  For online wallet I use Coinbase because of its ease of use and it is the only fdic insured exchange out there.  For software wallet, I use Electrum for Bitcoin, Electrum-ltc for litecoin, and Myetherwallet for Ethereum.  Oh and BreadWallet as my iOS wallet. 

Ledger Nano S:
ledger nano s wallet

Ledger Nano S is a USB sized hardware wallet specially designed for the cryptocurrency. As I have mentioned previously, the hardware wallets are expensive, so do this one but in return, you get a lot of features which are hard to find in any other type of cryptocurrency wallets, especially in terms of security and backup of your private key for the digital currency.

Ledge Nano S is not a plug and play type device. This means that you do not need to have a computer to use this wallet. The small LCD screen in the front of the wallet will allow you to operate your cryptocurrency wallet easily. It will allow you to do functions like transaction, exchange your digital currency, use the related apps and transfer money from one account to another account within seconds. The small size of Ledge Nano S will allow you to make it secure from the hackers or the thieves. Even in case of any lost; you can always get the backup and block the thief to get access to your cryptocurrency account.

For newbie I suggest MyEtherWallet. Maybe If you plan to invest in big amount or you get many coin with big amount, i suggest you to buy hardware wallet like Trezor or Ledger Nano S.

I need wallet where should i get one ? What wallet should long last ?
Help me I'm a newbie.

that's inaccurate, and it's a shame that people keep repeating this. the reason to use a hardware wallet is trading security for convenience. they're probably more secure than encrypted software wallets on online PCs, but that's not actually clear. it is not truly airgapped cold storage, though it attempts to simulate an airgapped environment.

keep in mind that a security researcher recently broke the security model of the ledger nano-s. these things are not infallible.

whatever you do, don't put all your coins in one wallet. nothing is 100% secure. i do prefer true cold storage over hardware wallets---i'll say that much.

Invest some of your money to your future and buy hardware wallet like Ledger Nano or Trezor, is the most safest way how to store your coins.

What wallet do you want? Eth btc or what? If eth i recommend to you to create Eth wallet addres from myetherwallet.com myetherwallet or mew are good wallet and good protect to save you wallet.

According to your criteria what would be the main characteristics that wallets should have and why do they use the ones they have?

 I make use of ethereum wallet, because, it has the potential towards other alt-coin in and can be accepted in one wallet address, and also has control over it.

I also like still new and I use while that one purse myetherwallet. He's safe, and I haven't had a problem with him yet.

I SUGGESTED you've observed first then let take some research for able to be do right the most safe common using Myetherwallet.com this wallet are you only hold your responsible hold your private key.

I prefer using myetherwallet. So far not having any issues.

I recommend imToken. Very intuitive and good security features.

Depends how important security is to you and how convenient you want your access to be. The most secure wallets albeit not as convenient for high liquidity are hardware wallets like the trezor or the nano-s. These are great to store coins on--regardless of anything, might still be beneficial to invest in these if you have a large amount of coins you'd like to keep offline. If you are going to be day-trading and need to constantly monitor activity, perhaps a desktop wallet such as electrum would be a good option, keep in mind they only support bitcoin at the moment. If you want to deal with multiple currencies look into Jaxx--you can download it to your desktop as well as mobile. Otherwise a mobile wallet such as samourai or greenaddress is also a solid option--they are not as secure as a desktop wallet in that it's easier to misplace your phone rather than a desktop/laptop(typically), but they are convenient if you are trading on the move. Finally, keep in mind you can use more than one wallet. Many people like the strategy of keeping a hardware wallet for storing large amounts of coins while using a desktop/mobile wallet for added liquidity purposes--just make sure they are compatible with each other.

This is a lot of info, but it's truly up to you, do your research and see which option caters the most to your needs. Additionally, you can check out our blog post on Wallets if you'd like to learn more: http://bit.ly/WalletGuide

Okay. Thank you all.
i'm reading and being informed about all your wallets recommendations.

You can choose to make  a bitcoin wallet if you want to earn btc and you can make an ethereum wallet if you want to earn ethereum and i suggest you to make this two different type of wallet because those cryptocurency now is the most important  powerful and high price cryptocurrency in cryptomarket 

For a newbie who asks what is the use of wallet ?. In my opinion, Wallet is the wallet for storing Bitcoin that you have collected. May be useful

Different tokens, different wallets. You might want to start with a hardware wallet such as a Trezor or Ledger. It is convenient and safe to use.

If I had to choose one, I would choose Bitcoin Core. It's the reference client, is the most actively developed wallet and has the strongest development team. It doesn't have the prettiest GUI. But it's a reliable full node that syncs fast, has good fee estimation and has better privacy than lightweight clients.

If you need a lightweight client (low storage, fast syncing) then I'd go with Electrum. And in general, avoid web wallets. Like BTCforJoe said, you can compare wallets on bitcoin.org -- they rate them on various aspects. If it's recommended on bitcoin.org, it should be safe to use.
