Hi All,
This hasn't really been explored in depth from what I can see after spending the last few hours sifting through many posts in various sections of this great forum. Needless to say I spend 99% of my time reading and 1% posting - so I thank everyone in advance for their contribution to what I feel is a much needed topic of discussion.
I would like to please get some comments/dialogue on the following queries:
1.
What is the 'best' wallet to mine directly to? I'm talking about an address that doesn't change that you can point your workers to or get pool payouts sent to **Loaded question with no definitive answer I know but there are so freaking many it's insane to have to choose from all of them there must at least be a top ten list somewhere that has been thoroughly thought out and explored from every angle**. So for a top ten list I'd like to explore hardware based, app based, desktop based, online hot wallets, exchanges, just leaving the coins in the pool itself for a long period of time, others?
2.
The highest level of security and most stable/long lived wallet to mine to? Two factor authentication, seeds, backing up private key to an encrypted text file, cold storage detached from the internet, etc. Obviously there has to be good security. How can you mine to a hardware wallet like the ledger or trezor without leaving it plugged in all the time? What about the issue of micro payments screwing everything up?
3.
Some wallets can't handle more than one currency and others only deal with a few - so now we have to split choices depending on what exactly is being mined... I don't want to have a different wallet for every different coin I mine I want one wallet to mine a bunch of different coins to to reduce the already confusing overhead...
It seems like there are new ones coming out all the time - everyone has their favourite - there isn't one wallet that can do everything - and wallets of choice frequently come and go... Security issues pop up and then there's the whole ETH pow->pos issue coming up... Can this community please help me out and then I will finally be able to get some sleep? These things all keep me wide awake at night...
Thanks in advance for everyone's contribution,
