RE: So I'm trying this Exodus Wallet thingy mcjigger
I recently used it and it lacked some features that any desktop client should offer, though I sort of see the reasoning. I was trying to import a specific private key, but it only allows sweeping of addresses. This is good for people who might not know what they're doing and only have their HD seed. But other HD wallets like Electrum still offer the ability to spend using an imported private key rather than only being able to sweep them.
oooh i see.. that is big points against it there. thank you for that info, this kind of changes plans a bit for me... but just a bit.
Only big if you don't want to sweep from your existing Ethereum account for instance. But anything swept is now on the keys that the wallet's seed phrase backs up, so treat it preciously if any large amount is added to Exodus.
I assume the reason they only sweep is because a newbie might think their funds are backed up with the Exodus HD seed phrase if they imported a key, and they wouldn't be.
Oh I've printed it and put it inside my safe... someone would need to fight a rabid chinchilla to get to it, so I know its pretty safe in there.
I wanted to get my hands in some EOS, nothing crazy, just because of the upcoming air drops and such.
I have used it too. It's really easy to use for newbies but I found the fees to transfer your crypto out were a bit higher than other wallets. I now mainly use a Trezor wallet.
I think if I intended to hold a lot of crypto on it, I would probably go for a hardware wallet instead. probably.
