Sorry beware of web wallets…IMHO.
I use only Paper Wallets in that I HODL LTC/BTC/Crypto …I have a couple of altcoins likat have
only seed wallets like Siacoin and Lisk…but only because no legit paper wallets available.
If I need to do anything to ADD to a wallet the public address is listed on my bookmarks to move
or whatever from coinbase or what not. If I want to take some crypto out…I have to walk down to
the bank/safety deposit box and pull it and put it back on such actions. usually stupid in 20/20
hindsight in taking any crypto to usd…but there you have it. The reason for the safety deposit box is
mainly FIRE…hard to lose the stuff in big ass fire in a vault at the bank. IF a metorite hits the bank
and I lose all …well the crypto gods in their ‘mirth’ just want to screw me and doomed anyway.
I DID try to use a Trezor…on an update it stopped working…luckly I had nothing on the Trezor
at the time was just updating for use…the update never took…when I contacted Trezor they said I had
to use another computer besides my Alienware 17 r4…they said high end gaming machines had more
voltage than the Trezor liked…and would not work on such after this update. I asked if they planned to
fix it and they said too small of a pool of computers affected and they did not plan a patch for such.
Thus, just put the empty trezor in the safety deposit box and went back to paper wallets…the ONLY
way to go…IMHO …again, IF I would have had another windows machine I could have used the trezor
on such…I have a old laptop i drag around for web use and a hacked togther desktop also mainly for
web use …simply because they were about the house (bsmt/den) so why go to the computer room and
fire up the win 10 machine…I have saved a lot of $$$ on ONLY getting iobit protection software and
paid avast antivirus and the rest on the ONE windows machine…on stuff that needs windows…So I
also suggest if you have ANY unable to update beyone Win XP computers …mainly laptops…don’t
throw them away…simply download https://ubuntu.com/ unbuntu O/S…I know zip about the O/S
I simply install…and the Unbuntu shows up (also lite versions of this for really old computers) and firefox
browser pops up…says something like 500 updates…you do so…and a fine little machine for www use
etc. There are no notable viruses so no issues there…you hit a button it updates all…at the very least
if you have an old laptop or computer ad mentioned above …say a laptop that can’t be run on anything
older then win XP…put this on…update it and toss it in the closet…a year from now when windos blows
up you simply fire it up …hit the button which promptly says 800 installs…fix such reboot and you at least
have a way to get on the web and your gmail till the windows machine gets fixed or whatever new
windows build gets done…the relief of having 3 machines that could run windows but only needing to h
ONE machine…is epic…no fuss …no muss…no malwarebytes or avast pro or other costs…slick.
I don’t have the skills to jump into unbuntu at all…just use the desktop…anyway i type really, really
fast thus the length here and off tangent…but anyway…was turned off by the trezor support
and also the hack of the other main hardware wallet Ledger a while back…sure I could have used
another computer with the trezor…but why bother if you are in crypto HODL mode…When I use
crypto I just get on www.coinbase (or now paypal i guess I could) and use fiat …convert and pay.
If your gonna HODL…well … HODL
