Topic: What are the best bitcoin wallets? - page 18. (Read 16305 times)
I like coins.ph and freebitco.in wallet because coins.ph don't have transaction fees when transferring bitcoin and I can instantly put my bitcoin directly to my bank account while freebitco.in is like a bank that esrn interest everyday of whatever amount of bitcoin you will keeo in your wallet. They are also both safe and very useful to have, having other wallets are also safe but the problem is the high tramsaction fees.
Looking for a secure place to store my bitcoins. What do you recommend? I found a few here, but looking for more feedback: http://cryptomarketmag.com/2018/01/07/best-bitcoin-wallets-2018/
Thanks!
Thanks!
I used to use Electrum and Bitcoin.com so far (as secondary wallets I also used Exodus and Jaxx). But since the Electrum news about having a critical vulnerability, I am gonna cut that out of my list.
so many wallets people useing but i personally like these 3 Xapo, Coinbase and coindesk
I like small wallets that do not take too much space, like Electrum, but it has a vulnerability right now, so I do not recommend using it until its fixed. Bitcoin Core takes too much space and you need too much time to download it. I use an Android wallet and It takes about 5 MB of space and I did not ever have a problem with it, you can set the fees and it has all the functions except the signature.
Depending on how much are you going to invest, I would recommend you either software or hardware wallet. Never use web wallets and exchanges for long term storing. Both software and hardware wallet allow you to control your own private key which is required to spend your money. Electrum is great choice if you don't have much in BTC. It started supporting SegWit which means that your transactions will be cheaper! Ledger and Trezor are great hardware wallets, there are a lot of reviews on the Internet.
The best wallets would be full node wallets, created on a air-gapped machine.
This assures that A: your wallet file is owned and stored by you. And B: there is no possibility of your wallet being compromised.
I've seen plenty of horror stories regarding server side wallets, and various hardware wallets. So I would say a full node wallet, air gapped, is the best, and safest.

Ledger is a good wallet, it's secure has a neat user interface and supports a variety of cryptocurrencies. It has legacy and segwit options as well. Ledger blue has a touch screen and is quite pricey, the ledger nano s is a much affordable and compact solution. Thanks!

Personally I used Electrum wallet because its light and easy to use. However, they are some vulnerability that has been found lately. You will find it at the top as Theymos already posted it. But the vulnerability has been fixed already.
There's also hardware wallets such as Trezor and Nano S if you are looking to store bitcoin for longer term. I suggest you go that route. Its not that expensive and you have a good sleep thinking that your bitcoin is safe.
Of course always be safe. Its your responsibility to take care of your account. Specially securing your private keys.

You should go with a hardware wallet, they provide the best security. either nano s or trezor, both are good(i own both Thanks!
). you would also be able to store not only bitcoin but various altcoins/tokens.
I strongly recommend you use hardwallet like trezor or ledger nano s to be sure that your holdings are safe to these hackers and phishing sites.Because nowadays people doesnt care about these phishing sites until they are victimized with these scumbags,the best thing to do is to install metamask extenstion in your browser,it is high recommended by the experts.

The easiest way to store your coins securely is a hardware wallet - your private keys are not exposed to your computers so they can't be stolen by malware and other attacks.
As for software wallets, they are all only as secure as a machine in which they are used - and because there are tons of vulnerabilities in them, it's generally a bad idea to store big amounts of money on your online computer. Some people think that it's enough to just use antivirus to be safe, but they are wrong, the only good method for securing your coins is to isolate your private keys from unsafe environments.
So, if you don't want to use hardware wallet, then you need to get a dedicated machine that will be turned into cold storage - a machine with a fresh and secure OS that never touches the Internet and is used to generate a wallet and sign transactions while offline. When you have this all set up, you can start choosing software wallet for your cold storage - most commonly it's Electrum wallet, because it has all the necessary tools for cold storage. But whatever wallet you are choosing, always make sure verify your downloads by checking signatures - there are plenty of phishing sites, especially on google, that have malicious wallets that steal coins.
trezor and ledger are excellent
there are many good bitcoin wallet in the market, but personally i suggest and use https://blockchain.info/
Be extremely cautious about Electrum until it's fixed. There's a vulnerability right now.

Thank you for the alert on this.
If you want to get maximum security for your bitcoin, I think you should use hardware bitcoin wallet. I use ' trezor '. Please consider using it.
Xapo, Coinbase and luno are wallets you should look at. Best wishes.

Thanks!
As mentioned in the list above the Ledger Nano S and the Trezor are the best ever wallets out there as they are hardware wallets.Thanks!
Hardware wallets provide the best security for crypto currencies. You will also hear Electrum wallet from many people as the most convenient wallet to use. It is true as it is compatible with all the devices. Apart from all of these wallets, Mycelium wallet has been my most used wallet as it is convenient and efficient to use. It provides features such as custom fees, reboradcast transaction, cancel transaction etc... which not many of the wallets provide. It's seed can be backed up and used whenever we want.
Hardware wallet seems the way to go, still deciding between the two. Which one do you have?
