RE: Encrypted Raspberry Pi Wallet - Part 2b: Let's talk about your passphrase

in #bitcoin7 years ago

So what wallets would you suggest to put in the encrypted container on the Pi? Different wallets for different coins? I'm a newbie. At some point I'd want a phone wallet too, once I start purchasing in the real world, but for now cold back up on a Pi sounds the best to me ...

Sort:  

That depends how many coins and what coins you have. I would recommend to store as many coins as you can in wallets by the core clients and the unimportant coins on other wallets. I have 6 main coins that I need to have on a wallet and I usually make private keys in the core wallet software and import them to a wallet like electrum (never make an electrum wallet by electrum itself). For some I only hodle like IOTA i just save the keyphrase/private key.

I do trading on markets so I keep a small amount on the markets and when I want to put things to savings I send it to the public keys that I have stored without need to a open wallet with a private key.
