I think it is a reasonable calculated gamble to leave SOME coins on an exchange for TRADING. I wouldn't leave more than would break me, say 5% or there abouts. I do trust Binance, but have nothing there. Personally I only have coins on exchanges for trading or if there was no wallet I could get running.

So, yes, control your keys. I recommend a Ledger or Trezor hardware wallet. Pretty trustworthy thus far.

I am not familiar with Daedulus, can you share?

Don't have much info about it, just know that its the only wallet Cordano/ADA can be stored on.

I'm still fairly new to this, and on top of that I don't want to pay transfer fees back and forth to sell once Cordano goes up..

But yeah I'm gonna remove it now.

Depends. IF most of your holdings are Etherum based EC20, you can use Myetherwallet.


The Stellar website has links to Wallets you can use XLM with.


There is no one-stop option for all coins

Meta Mask is another one for ETH based ones. Pretty easy to use.

I ordered the Ledger but it won't ship till the end of March :-?

I don't want to set up a MEW because the whole process gives me anxiety. I don't want to figure out how to take my computer offline and do everything the "safest" way.

I just hope no exchanges get hacked between now and end of March :lol:
