Ask HN: Where / how do you store your cryptocurrency wallets?

17 pointsby ethanpilalmost 6 years ago
I want to toy a bit with cryptocurrency and I wonder what the HN community would recommend for a practical crypto wallet?

I use Electrum with just a passphrase. I don&#x27;t actually have a digital file that once can steal, I simply have a written sequence of words that I keep in a safe place. I&#x27;ve actually memorised them but I&#x27;m too paranoid to destroy the paper copy. I write them in to reconstruct the private key only when I need it. I do this on an old laptop that is only used for this purpose.<p>For my personal convenience vs security threshold it&#x27;s quite helpful but for those who trade daily it&#x27;s probably too much effort.

Others have covered your desktop options well.<p>On mobile, any of these are fine:<p>* Green Wallet<p>* Coinomi<p>* Coinbase Wallet (Wallet app. Don&#x27;t keep your Bitcoin in an Exchange. It is not under your control at that point.). If you have privacy concerns WRT governments, don&#x27;t use this option.<p>For more security:<p>* Use hardware wallets, such as Trezor<p>* Paper wallets in a bank&#x27;s safe deposit box.

For strictly Bitcoin a colleague showed me OpenDime[0] which is pretty cool. To get the secret key the device is physically altered.<p>Otherwise I have a few hardware wallets around but haven’t used them much as I didn’t like that some required a Chrome app or other less than ideal, from my perspective, setups.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;opendime.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;opendime.com&#x2F;</a>

Electrum on full disk encryption Linux, with mnenomic phrase in safe deposit box.

Personally, I use Jaxx Liberty on my iPhone.<p>I have the backup phrase in a safe.<p>I do not have a lot of value invested in crypto assets. If you intend to store larger amounts, I wouldn’t recommend this set-up.

Nano Ledger S for hardware wallet<p>imToken 2.0 for iOS wallet and write down the seed phrase on paper, store in secret spots :)

Hardware wallet would be the safest method. I use a trezor myself.
