RE: How good is Coinomi wallet compared to Jaxx?

in #coinomi7 years ago

from what I understand, the Jaxx vulnerability is only on the desktop version in which an attacker could decrypt your private key if they had access to your computer.

I think the ios is as safe as any other app wallet out there.

But I still don't get why there is such distrust over hot wallets. People all say never put life savings on it.
Then why is there a market for app wallets at all ? Why not just have two choices.. Exchange / online and Cold wallets (Hardware & paper). Why bother with all these app wallets and desktop wallets if they are so risky to use?

Sort:  

Firstly NEVER EvEr use paper wallets, PERIOD ! ! !

Paper wallets are a specialised very risky way of storing crypto, there are far better means ...

i own a ledger nano s , a trezor and a keep key . . . when you win your 400 million on lotto spread out that win-fall across those three devices.

cryptosteel keeps your recovery seed safe from damage and place the recovery seed in a safety deposit box (US$ 80 ) per year...

make sure no one else can open your safety deposit box, not your partner, not your kid and not even your dog...

do not mess with encrypted USB's ; use protonmail and other impenetrable emails and a virtual keyboard input . . .

hot wallets are very secure until they are compromised and be assured that someone is always trying to breach hot wallets ! ! !

exodus, jaxx or coinomi are the three online wallets that store different types of cryptocurrency altcoins , but generally 50% of those altcoins are not worth HODLing but they are a fun way to learn about your digital imaginary cash money security storage ! ! !

anything truly worth holding will almost be accommodated by hard wallets , then put a few things across those three app wallets . . .

add in bitcoin core and blockchain dot info blockchain.info and coinbase ( VAULT storage ) ...

and your crypto is as safe as you can make it ! ! !

and remember never believe the HYPE and FuD that surrounds everything in cryptocurrency :)
