Crypto offline storage

Autochange · 2018-01-08 00:15:03

Hi guys. Just wondering where or how you are all storing your coins offline. I've heard about the nano s and was wondering if that's what people are using or can you recommend something else. Thanks

I use the Nano S myself, have no complaints, find it very easy to use. Trezor is the other main one, there isn't much between them.

I'd suggest you look at a few review videos of each to see which one you prefer, you can't go wrong with either though.

I use the Trezor, great bit of kit

as an aside, be really careful where you buy it or any wallet, reseller or third party sites are to be avoided like the plague

if you decide on the Trezor buy it direct and pay for the dhl shipping.

Only buy from official sources, nasty story going around about an eBay reseller

Yeah, but that was all to do with the buyer not knowing what they were doing, very naive on their part and a pretty nasty thing to happen.

I've been looking into the trezor as the nano seems to be sold out. My concern now is if my coins are compatible.

I hold BNB, icx , LTC and vechain.

Can anyone shine Amy light on this for me as the info I can find on line isn't clear.

Thanks
