How do I keep my cryptocurrency safe?

The safest way to store your airdrops are hardware & cold storage wallets. These wallets store your coins offline, and therefore protect them from being hacked. There are a number of hardware wallets available. We would advise to use the Ledger Wallet Nano S or Trezor.

Not all cryptocurrency can be stored in hardware wallets. We advise you to store your crypto in wallets where you control your private keys. You don't want your free crypto to be stolen!

To avoid scams we have a few general rules:

    Never give your private keys!
    Use 2 Factor Authenticator on your wallets
    Be careful downloading wallets of smaller projects
    Never click on links redirecting to wallets
    Don’t use your main email address to apply for airdrops
    Don’t re-use your passwords when you register on a website
    Don’t send small amounts of crypto to receive your airdrop

I think to keep our coins safe is to store it in an exchange sites that we think with high level of security.

Another good advice is not to leave your pc opened /unlocked while you are out especially if it is used also by others

I just knew that using security in the wallet must have rules. of the seven rules I will probably obey, because in my opinion this will be safer and will minimize the risks that exist today.

To keep your coins safe, save coins in your personal wallet. Do not store coins in the exchange because it is very dangerous. If you have more money, you can buy a hardware wallet to store coins.

There are some scam airdrops going on which asks you to sign your wallet and take you to some phishing website. Never ever put your private keys anywhere on any unknown website. use bookmarks for all your online wallets like MEW.

There are many problems  when it comes to one's crypto safety measure because it comes to your own manageable wit. However, if you try to fail in securing your account then it would be hard for you.

My only way to keep my crypto currency investment safe is to stop on sending into in the exchange market but instead we should keep on storing in myetherwallet because most of the hackers are attacking the exchanges.

Another options is to use Ledger Nano S hardware wallet ,its aviable for over 30 cryptocurrency and its not expensive.

[PRIBO247]

Your money, your responsibility. Any bounty/airdrop or site that asks for private key during registration is to be avoided. Also it is advisable not to click on any link given through email by projects one doesn't know. All it takes is one click and all your wallet details will be open to hacker. Let us be very careful.

[Collinberg]

In any place that you can use 2FA, always make sure you enable it, it would not take you more than a few seconds but you would be glad you did it because that account would be almost unhackable.

[bettyhill]

Thanks for the information and tips. I have a question though. Are these hardware wallets like applications to download? Secondly are they 100% scam proof?

[Bhussainn2]

Myetherwallet is sheltered inasmuch as you protect your private keys. Additionally make certain to bookmark the site for future visits so you won't experience the ill effects of phishing assaults

Our safety is our concern. You should always check how and through what service we are going to buy, sell or exchange currency
