all the altcoins that i have ever bought and held and sold have never left my exchange account on bittrex. i buy there, keep there and then dump them there.

it is obviously a risky move to do because of all the hacks that happen with exchanges and they run away. but there is no other choice for me!

although i must add that there is an exception to this and that is litecoin and it is only because i hold litecoin for long term and also it has an SPV wallet that doesn't require me to hold the whole blockchain as full node.

Hey guys
First post here, sorry if noobish question or not in the right place.
Where do you guys store your altcoins(dash,ICN,STEEM,etc...)? Is there a wallet for each of them or??

Thanks in advance

I guess there are no three ways to go about this. For those who have developed a wallet then you have no option than to use the wallet designed for that purpose on the otherhand as I have seen some developers create coin without having the interest of creating a wallet, then the traders have no option to either keep it on the exchange sites or if that will be dangerous, convert to another coin with wallet and move it out to safe keeping...

I never keep altcoin. I think to save altcoin it at great risk, if not be careful to choose a good altcoin.
therefore I recommend to choose a good altcoin to trade so that the price will be even better in the future. Smiley

Every altcoins has its own wallet. Icn has its own wallets. There are also paper wallet, pos coin to store your altcoins.  But whenever I want to sold it I transfer my altcoins into an exchanger already. Poloniex, bittex an exchanger I store all my coins.

i keep in the exchanges and in separate wallet like desktop wallet, sometimes i send it from desktop wallet into exchanges. we can find desktop wallet for each of altcoins but i think you need to choose what coins you should save it into your computer so your data is not full for just installing the wallet.

The same way I store bitcoins. Offline and on paper.

Yes but you can't do that with pos, you need an active wallet, so i are you store poscoin? in the past i was storing them on the exchange but then i see what happened with mint coin and its exchange, the exchange was generating to much minting and the coin forked causing an huge loss, bitcoin don't have this problem, but some good alt have it, i prefer to hold them in my local computer

Yeah, I used to store my altcoins in one place, that was the website coinwallet.co
However, over time I realised it wasn't a good idea; for example they would let you deposit almost any amount in but then force you to pay transaction fees when withdrawing. It also got DDOSed, and closed down. Ever since, I've just kept them in their official wallets, that way there are no worries of someone stealing them.

 I store my alt coins in their official wallets. However, there are a few third party wallets that let you store multiple alt coins.

Definitely, you should store your altcoins in that exchange where you invested in it. Because, i store my coins in the exchange, till than when i like to store, when i see the price is going to high than i sell them. Otherwise you could store your coin in local wallet.

i never store any altcoins because i have not found any altcoin that is worth storing for long term. i only buy and hold for a very short period of time before i sell them and this means i only store what i buy on the exchange wallet to have fast access to it for dumping fast.

All Altcoins come with local wallets and I guess that's where everyone stores them. There are third parties like the exchanges too but most people feel insecure with them so I will say just download the local wallet of the preferred Altcoin in question onto your desktop and manage your funds from there.
