RE: Bounty:10 Steem: What is your favorite BTC wallet and why?

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Oh boy, clearly I need to write a couple posts about the difference between wallets and exchanges. So many people are posting about exchanges and that is scary....really scary.

Before I spend to much time with an answer, would you prefer my thoughts on hardware wallets, mobile, or desktop? I've used many of these and have a few I wasn't happy with and my top picks.

Honestly I think if you have any level of investment in BTC you need to consider having more then 1 wallet to protect yourself in case of a future security flaw. If you have a lot of BTC then we need to talk about true cold storage and making sure it's stored on a devise that has never touched the internet.

I actually have considered buying a new laptop to use for my wallets only. Never logging onto any websites. For $500 I can buy a lot of piece of mind.

Sort:  

I'm just looking for hot wallet so stuff on my phone and PC. I was hoping to get a nice list and maybe find something I had not tried before. If you come up with a list make sure to use a high level post.

My boiler blew up last night so not happening today. Trying to figure out if it's salavagable or if I'm looking at a $4-5k unexpected expense. Bad timing for me as my Wife was recently rear ended by an uninsured driver, our sewer collapsed out by the street, and we've had multiple other big hits...hope this is the last thing as it keeps stopping me from buying more steem.

I will make a list for sure. But honestly most of the ones I'll name are the bigger names that you might have tried mainly because I have a hard time trusting new...there is just so much money involved there are to many scammers out there.

Will try to put this together either tonight or tomorrow...I can't half ass my responses as you have probably figured out from past ones...lol.
