Topic: Where do you store your altcoins? - page 3. (Read 1707 times)
I don't use other wallets for my altcoins other than myetherwallet.com for Etherium-based altcoins and ETC and waveswallet.io for my waves-based coins. But not for long because I don't store them for a very long time. I always trade them.
Perhaps myetherwallet could be your choice because its performance is good equipped with adequate security like a private key, the json file and also more, myetherwallet has a fee which is not too big and not too little adjusting of nominal transactions. myetherwallet having problems login in the insecurity of phishing scams so should take care to use it.
I used mostly the main wallet for altcoins (ex. myetherwallet) because i'm planning on investing it on a long term. Don't ever trust those exchanges, just put your wallet to the official wallet of the altcoin. People here told you to stay away to poloniex and bittrex, that's why don't trust any exchanges for your altcoins if you want to invest it for a long term.
I keep in wallet offline, because right now a lot of hackers targeting altcoin. and I just enter to the exchanger if the medium wants to sell it and it was only in the nominal specific
Most of my altcoins are on exchange like bittrex, poloniex and so on. The etherum asserts are in the myetherwallet. And if some of the top marketcap coins are in their own wallets!
I only got my Espers in a wallet.
I think it's such a hassle getting them and saving the coins etc.
Most of my coins are on two different exchanges. Also, the one I mine is on the pool.

Exactly what answer are you looking for over here ? There are two ways to keep your coins. On an exchange or in the actual wallet. Obviously we going to tell you to use the original altcoin wallet why would you use any other. You know an exchange is a bad place to put your coins so why are you even asking here as if we going to give you some magical answer ? Like what exactly are you expecting here ?
As the above user say stay away from polo and bittrex. Bittrex are idiots. They locked my account and said I must verify since it was worth over $1000 which it wasn't. When I told them they I locked it right away. If they want my details I want theirs.

I store some of them in wallets and other on the exchanges.
But, I don't suggest you to leave it on Poloniex because today I got banned for no reason and I still didn't get unban... This is the last time that I am using it, that's for sure.

Uh, that sounds worrisome. I know there are a lot of complaints about them right now. Could you elaborate a bit? Did they provide a reason for freezing the account?
This is why you should avoid exchanges. Bittrex is locking lots of accounts and enforcing verification, and Poloniex has been plagued by these kinds of complaints for months already. Stay safe out there, and keep minimal amounts on the exchanges. I only trade long term because of this, and I tend to enter/exit positions over several days to avoid having much funds locked on the exchange at any one time.
No, they didn't give me reason for that. And I assure you I haven't done anything ilegally.
I just got this. I guess they made mistake somehow...
I wrote ticket to them like 12 hours ago and still they didn't do anything about that... I hope they will fix that as soon as possible.
Mostly I store some of them in exchanges, and then depending on the situation, change into bitcoins and transfer to the Bitcoin Core

If it is just a small amount or used for trading, then I keep it in the exchanges I bought them. But if it is a large amount or for hodling, I install its wallet in a desktop and use the wallet for safe keeping. Keeping coins is risky so I keep long term investment in desktop wallet.
yap if you have ethereum token you can save it in myetherwallet, and if you don't have eth token just save your altcoin in destkop wallet
and if you want to trading i think bittrex safe better than polo

PC then to 2/3 usb dongles
Sadly I till got all my money on exchanges. Spread around a few and 2FA on all, but still not good. Kinda want to buy a laptop and install Quebes OS to have a tiny VM per wallet for cold storage. A cheap used x230 or something.

This is the dilemma of altcoins. If you want to invest in low market cap coins (for huge potential gains), you need to download a bunch of suspicious wallets. Otherwise, you need to keep your coins on shady exchanges that could disappear tomorrow, or get hacked.
Either get a dedicated machine and/or use virtual machines to segregate these altcoin wallets from your host machine (and your main BTC/ETH/LTC wallets, i.e. real money)... or risk holding coins on exchanges.
The other alternative is to stick to large market cap altcoins only. Then you can use things like Jaxx. MEW is also a decent option for ERC20 tokens.
Try Exodus: https://www.exodus.io/
If you have Ethereum based tokens you should use Mist or Myetherwallet. If you have other tokens it's always hard to install all wallets but considering your investment amount you have to need that.
Never save all your balance in exchanges. We know a lot of them got hacked or went awol before.

I store it on my desktop wallet then I save the private keys and print and store it in a safe place. Some coins that I bought from exchanges, I leave it in there since I am trading frequently. Its good to have a paper wallet or store in pen drive too.
