Wallet for cryptocurrencies: Why do you need a hardware wallet?
If you are not familiar with the term hardware wallet, you may be wondering what are the advantages compared to a paper purse or an encrypted private file on a computer?
Hardware wallets offer a complete isolation of cryptographic secrets and the computer/smartphone. Both are quite easy to hack as their weaknesses are well known. If you keep your sensitive credentials there, it's only a matter of time before you will lose everything.
A paper wallet is not really safe. It requires you to import your private data to your computer. And if you believe that a password is sufficient for encryption, then malware is smart enough to wait for unavoidable decryption even before you can use your credit.
A hardware wallet is portable, practical and backed-up by a paper wallet that allows an easy recovery in the event of a loss. If you own and regularly use a significant amount of bitcoins, the use of a hardware wallet should be self-evident.
Attention! With the update to 1.4.1 are now up to max. 18 simultaneous wallets possible
