Topic: Would you buy a hardware wallet? - page 3. (Read 24769 times)
I would never buy hardware wallets just because i know for sure that people are getting rid by the online wallets in my opinion to store coins local is many times better/.
I dont think hardware wallets can protect your bitcoins for sure because already stolen from me out of a hardware wallet maybe it is better to store them local?
If you are a sensible type of person you would surely kept your hardware wallet to a secure place which cant be possibly stole by anyone from you. Hardware wallets is more secure that web wallet in my own opinion because on hardware wallet you could simply keep it and you are the only one who holding it unlike on web wallets.

I dont think i would ever buy a hardware wallet again because i already used one before and i dont like to use online wallets just becuase i know that wallets can be hacked.
I really trust more in web wallets than in harware wallets. The safety could be extreme but blockchain or bitcoin core is pretty accesible. It could be good for cold storage but I don't trust thousand of dollars in a hardware. You know, I had problem with blockchain in 2015 but nevermore. It's getting better everyday and the resources involved are awesome in blockchain. The support is also great.
I agree with you a hardware wallet is okay but a blockchain wallet (online wallets) are also good and its that some are good wallets and some or not good, when I talk about this I''m talking about the online wallets and the same rule is also applying for hardware wallets.
Hardware wallets would be somehow safe or more secure than to those online wallets . This hardwares would be advisable if you do have many bitcoins on your possession but if you dont have much bitcoin then its better to use web wallet because it would add expenses only if you would buy hardware wallets.

Hardware wallets are nice for the experience, but aren't necessarily better in terms of security compared to storing wallet files on USB drives.
At least, that's how I look at it. I am storing my wallet backups in USB drives since the very beginning, and it works fantastic for me.
And the best of all is that it's a free storing method since everyone has them in their homes.

I would never buy a hardware wallet and that is just becuase i dont like to get rid of my coins i store my coins local because i dont trust the internet wallets sorry for that.
I think those hardware wallets are also like local wallet but rather than downloading whole blockchain ledger they just use remote server to make transaction. Downloading whole bitcoin ledger is very hard these days so we don't have much option left rather than using web wallets.Downloading the whole blockchain is a really pain in the ass and you would need huge space on your storage and you need to wait for couple of days before you could download it completely but its worth for the effort and time you spent because pc wallets do have some advantages compared to web wallets. For me hardware wallet would also do if you have bitcoin to store from it.
I agree, that is why i prefer other light wallet like electrum or multibit, i even tried web wallets and even android wallet. Though im up for a pc wallet for security and full access. i will also like to buy harware wallet to securely store my bitcoin and keep it and open after 5 to 10 years of keeping it.
Its almost 90 gb as of todays update, its really hard to download this it would took you long time like on your situation you would eventually able to download it for 30 days? lol. Your pc might blown up for sure not turning of for whole 30days. Agree hardware wallets is more secured compared on online wallets.

I agree how many gig is the blockchain? I bet in my country's connection speed, i have to download it for 30 days LOL including data cap per day. Looking at this scenario LOL i would prefer light wallets like electrum or multibit, i don't prefer online wallet and i would likely get hardware wallet because of the more security it gives .

would buy a hardware wallet if it is cheaper than Trezor and has Android app
it seems like since 2014 not much changed,there are not so many competitors at this market
paper,brain wallets are alright,but once you are operating with big sums of money in coins
hardware wallets are best securitywise
imho trezor is ovepriced,so if there is a cheaper option with same security and added functionality ,consider me in

Hardware wallet is the new platform for bitcoin wallet and I'm considering buying in the future and I know that others too. As time pass by I'm hoping for some improvements in hardware wallets that will be more advantageous than the other platforms.
I am not sure it is the new platform but it is a device which makes it way more safer for you to store your bitcoins. The more bitcoins you have the more the need is to buy a hardware wallet. If you are a geek you may find it easy to make one with a quality usb, but if you are not a geek, just buy a trezor device.

I would maybe do this but I do not really like such wallets if I have to be honest because these wallets are just so easy to get, you only have to steal the wallet thats all.
I rather them have a paper wallet it feels safer and is in my eyes better.

The most hardware wallets are good secured and have no security problems, I think that a hardware wallets is better because its your own thing and there cannot happen something with it if you are storing it safely!

We are all witnesses that cloud wallets, although convenient are not necessary secure enough. Hacker attacks are happening more and more often. With time people will pay more and more attention to security and that is the reason why hard wallets will have their market.
Buying a hardware wallet can be good but I think that I would not use it a lot because I have some other wallets.
I also use online wallet so that is why..

I think that its also not worth it because its not very easily with payments, online wallets are better for payments.
On the other hand hardware wallets can be nice for large amounts maybe.
I think it is difficult to use hardware wallet if the internet is slow, but for safety's sake if you have much better hardware using bitcoin wallet
