Topic: Where do you hold your coins? - page 9. (Read 3740 times)
I hold my coin in poliniex because it takes just a little bit of your coins.
Myetherwallet - very comfortable service
Holding a coin for long-term is in a cold storage , its depends on your coin project is had a feature of staking or master node you better keep it on a computer set a strong encryption on that computer and set a specific IP address that can only access that computer.Some coins can held on exchanges.
I use to hold all my altcoin on bitttrex and my bitcoin in my wallet(hot and cold) but now my alt have started to stay in my wallet. I can not trust any centralized exchange any longer. We need bitcoin trading dex!
be careful if you decide to save all of your altcoin in exchanges because we don't know if we are really secure or not but bittrex is a good exchanges that protecting our coins. i agree that we should save our bitcoin into private wallet because we don't want our bitcoin to get lost and its better to prevent than getting loss. i think if you can find wallet for your altcoin then you can move and save your altcoin to that wallet so you have two wallet to save your coins.

Bittrex for me was among the good sites out there but still it needs confirmation but for me i cant really keep up with that. Because i already made an account now and i cant take back the money from my old account because of i might have the same 2 account. I just recently used Cryptopia for convertion and then trading and so far for me, it is good for storing and at the same trading if needed as much as possible.
It depends on the coins that you are holding, I invest in etherium coins and i use myetherwallet(M.E.W.) but before i decided to use this as my coin holder i have tried to do a lot of research and most of the experienced traders here are suggesting to use MEW for eth coins, So i choose it.
Well MEW is a nice one, but use one of the hardware wallets for accessing to it. It's badly secured if you simply use your pw which can be easily hacked. Don't do it

I aslo decided to choose Ledger Nano s as a main wallet for holding coins. You never know what can happen to your laptop or online services, expecially exchanges. So I prefer to hold my money offlne and sleep well.
If you have millions of worth in tokens, I agree with you, offline hardware wallet is a safe choice. But in other cases, what is wrong with using popular online interfaces to access your wallet, like myetherwallet.com, or browser extension like Metamask? Those are just tools to access your wallet address in the blockchain, if one online wallet is not accessible, you can always use another one to access the same wallet address.
What kind of wallets I do not recommend to use?
Do not give ANYONE your private key.
This means - do not use any of these wallets:
Online web wallets, like blockchain.info, Coinbase, etc. In generally, all wallets which keep the private key on their servers.
Any hot wallets. Any app on computer or phone which is used with Internet connection. It can be used with small amounts to make payments, but not for storing your whole money.

Desktop wallet is the safest
I'm also a novice, and I hear it often on the forum. Explain to me why the desktop wallet is safer? 
All of my erc20 supported altcoin I do hold in my ether wallet and waves wallet. when I decided to do trade by some of the coin, I make deposit them in exchange for trading.
hi.
I left it on the exchange
I could write it for the first time!

All on my pc... cannot trade if I put them in cold storage...little but worried about privacy though..
I amke sure to at least run a antivrus and firewall all the time and store the private keys in a password manager (keepass). It might not be 100% secure but so far I had no problems.
I store coins in a offline clean computer and Ledger Nano S.
to be more secure because the possibility of a phishing crime would not happen but if using online would be the action could happen but online also give the positive side with ease in its use
I joined the bitcoin world for few month ago, i created several online wallet such as blockchain, coinbase, myetherwallet... i bought a little usdt for trading experience last month. So i think i dont need to store my coin on online wallet, leave it on the exchange is better rightnow.
In our dedicated wallet...
So i'm new to cryptocurrency, actually just started 2 days ago, was reading about cryptocurrency, and stumbled upon Neblio and decided to go for it.
Now i'm holding about 600$ worth of Neblio on Cryptopia, which i'm fairly certain it will reach at least 2x, but aiming at x4 early next year to be honest.
Anyway, i want to sit on the Neblio for a while, but i don't want to have it hostage on an Exchange, so what are the best and safer solutions, Desktop and Online to hold he currency?

For me it's mostly in ICO projects such as EOS and seasoned altcoins such as litecoins, dogecoins, Ethereum and Monero. That way i have a pretty good balance between potentially good projects that can bring returns in and some coins that have steady returns in the long run.
Neblio is a risky investment.
If it gets listed on more exchanges maybe it will go up.
