Topic: Where do you store your crypto - page 3. (Read 799 times)
There are a lot of wallets available for the storage of your Bitcoin. Electrum, mycelium and others provide some level of safe storage for your Bitcoin. But for the safety of your Bitcoin, it all depends on you the person using the wallet. You should find some time to research for the various Bitcoin wallets available and their vulnerabilities.
If you have an old PC or laptop, or you can afford to buy one for cheap (a used one will work too, just make sure to wipe it), then you can create your own cold storage setup which is as good or even better than hardware wallet, and only slightly more harder/inconvenient to use. Electrum has a great guide how to do it - http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/coldstorage.html
Make sure to verify the signatures on all the software that you will use - the OS, the wallet and anything else that you'll have to use.

So if you wanted to used Electrum, just be careful as well and download the apps on their official website only.
Bookmark is the key. Like what I've expected base on the title, everyone would be suggesting electrum.
However, you can also prefer some wallets on the list --> https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet
ecoWell if you are out out of funds to purchase a hardware wallet to store your cryptocurrencies then it's best to use cryptocurrency wallet that is very popular and famous like the blockchain wallet application. The reason why i recommend the blockchain application is because it is widely trusted and it's safe to use as i have never had any issues while using it. Also, you don't want to store your cryptocurrencies on some recent cryptocurrency wallet as some of them are scams.
However, lately, Electrum has been targeted by hackers and criminals as well. So if you wanted to used Electrum, just be careful as well and download the apps on their official website only.
Every user of electrum should do that, but unfortunately some are bit lazy without checking the legitimacy of the app, even I downloaded electrum from their official website, I always verify its signatures if they are really from the devs. Coz just you now, websites can be hacked as well as the file link can be edited there, hackers can do such things and make things like its originally normal and legit.Exodus? Nah, I wouldn't trust this software.
You can still trust them for smaller amounts and micro spending, but for storing large sum of assets,? just use HW or electrum.
I like using the hardware wallet to store my tokens rather than exchange wallets nor web wallets. I think the hardware wallets are much safer than any other wallet.
The simple question. I just don't have an opportunity to store using hardware wallet and want to ask you do you use any non-custodial wallet? Thanks.
