monero is a cryptocurrency that I really like, I fell in love with the developers when I heard them speak at fossdem a few years ago
really very good and skilled people
now I use monerujo it seems like a good wallet, but since I don't use monero very much I wanted to ask which wallets do you use?

I use Feather wallet since it has some advance feature and it's UI similar with Electrum. But since it created with privacy, it download all block from certain block height to find relevant wallet which could take long time. I'm also interested with CakeWallet since it has more applying UI while supporting both mobile and desktop devices, although haven't tried it.

Feather wallet is a nice open source desktop wallet, very similar like Electrum wallet for bitcoin, and it works with hardware wallets Trezor 3, Trezor T and ledger that all support monero.
Cake wallet is not a bad mobile wallet, and you can also try Stack multicoin wallet that support bitcoin and monero
-
ah ok this one
https://featherwallet.org/
(https://featherwallet.org/img/receive_light.png)
ok honestly I've never used it, but it looks very nice for the desktop, I almost install it
I assume that this too, like monerujo, does not download the blockchain but uses servers to know things
clear, it makes sense, it's also very simple at first glance
-
I use Exodus (multicurrency closed source).
I used moneruju, an open source wallet, but it is monero only. Single currency wallets are not good in my phone, cause I need flexibility in my phone
-
I personnaly use Feather too, I really like the sum of options available. You can even mine with your CPU if you have xmrig installed on your computer.
I always like open source wallets with this old school GUI like Electrum.
I use Exodus (multicurrency closed source).
I used moneruju, an open source wallet, but it is monero only. Single currency wallets are not good in my phone, cause I need flexibility in my phone
I still don't dare to use XMR on my shitty chinese Android smartphone. I really don't trust my own phone with my money.
Are you only using a phone ? or do you use Exodus on your computer too? aren't you afraid of the closed source aspect of this wallet?

if you like close source you could try coinomi
It's a good multi-currency wallet and I've often used it as a sort of proxy for my recovery work, as it has all the currencies and allows me to be flexible
in fact, you should know that I also deal with recovering wallets with various problems even if the best remains Dave
-

Actually it use Monero node to download all blocks from certain block height. Check this documentation page, https://docs.featherwallet.org/guides/synchronization (https://docs.featherwallet.org/guides/synchronization).

thanks
among other wallets, in this case multiwallets, which allow you to manage monero we could also mention coinomi https://www.coinomi.com/en/downloads/ lately also for desktop and not just for mobile clients
in the past I used it as a temporary swap, now I prefer something else

Coinomi hasn't been updated in long time though. Current desktop version is v1.3.0[1] which released since April 2022 earlier, where the mobile version has same treatment. Since Coinomi wallet depends on their server and lack of update, who knows when their server will be turned off and you can't make transaction.

Coinomi project is abandoned. Nobody should use it.
It used to be the best multicurrency wallet, but it is abandoned now
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coinomi.wallet&hl=en_us&gl=US
Last update in 2022
-
Yes I know it's old and no longer updated
in fact I use monerujo which I think is better even if it only has one currency inside
I don't like many other multicurrency wallets and I don't have this need since I don't have many currencies, so I don't need much
-
Coinomi project is abandoned. Nobody should use it.
Correct, and people should finally stop recommending this wallet.
Only usable multicoin open source alternative for coinomi wallet that is supporting monero is Stack wallet, and maybe Cake wallet.
Hardware wallets currently supporting Monero: Trezor T, Trezor 3 Safe, Ledger, Onekey classic, Onekey touch.
If I missed any wallet please correct me.

I still don't dare to use XMR on my shitty chinese Android smartphone. I really don't trust my own phone with my money.
Are you only using a phone ? or do you use Exodus on your computer too? aren't you afraid of the closed source aspect of this wallet?
I use Exodus just in my phone. I use in my desktop a ledger nano (I know it has problems with privacy, but I bought it before those problems show up, in 2017 and it is safe so far.)
I think moneruju is better for xmr, but I don't like to have so many different apps in my phone.
I think exodus is safe for a phone. Old wallet... I just don't keep high amounts in it (below 1000 usd).

ah exodus, I tried it many years ago at the beginning, I liked it because you could swap easily
but if I'm not mistaken it's closed source, can you at least get the private keys today?
In the past this couldn't be done and it bothered me quite a bit

I tried Exodus long time ago where it's possible to get private key. But it was complicated where i had to enable developer mode and Exodus dump all private key to single text file. Although now, you can see private key for single address[1].

You can just import the seed into iancoleman.io/bip39 tool and get all private keys.
Exodus allows you to save the seed. The seed is all that you need to derivate all private keys of all altcoins.

ah interesting, when I tried it (to try shapeshift) it didn't allow it
this certainly makes it better than in the past, I'm still not happy that it's closedsource, who knows what it does behind it, it's not easy to trust this way, but that's okay

If you use Monero primarily due to privacy reason, you better not trust them. Just few months ago, it uses unusual fee which lead to weaker privacy[1]. And even after reading their documentation, it's not clear whether Exodus connect to random node or node owned by them to perform sync[2].

Do this wallet have criteria for the type of cellphone to use this wallet?
If yes, maybe it will be the same case as you, but I will try downloading it if I have difficulty, can I ask again?

thanks for the guide
I don't know if I'll install it on my phone, I don't really like the fact that it's closed but it's always good to know alternatives, you never know in life
I'm the type of person who prefers to know the alternatives even if I won't use them (like crypto ATMs for example)
+1 karma for u

If we're talking about Hodl coins = definitely Exodus! If we are talking about (short-term) storage of the asset - in this regard, you can use Trust and all hot wallets (that support XMR). If you have an extra 100-300$ (and time) - may try to order a cold wallet. How to use it + safety information, you can find it all on the internet. There are more than enough sources.
P.S. Initially, it all depends on your goals and objectives. Thankfully, there are alternatives among the choices. + you can read reviews (of other users). The final choice is up to everyone. From personal experience (still) - Exodus in this regard, the most popular + safe wallet. He's the one I use the most. But, that doesn't mean it has to fit someone else! Analyze + test frequently = happiness. 8)

I wonder how many people HODL monero and only see it as investment. After all, it's price remain around $100-$200 in last 2 years which isn't attractive for many people. And i wouldn't say "all hot wallet" if i were you, since there are known scam or fake hot wallet (that support XMR) out there. XMR community on reddit even made a list about it on https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/wiki/avoid/ (https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/wiki/avoid/).

I really like Monero as a currency, I'd like to keep it but I don't trust the price since many exchanges want to give it away
for this reason I cannot consider it a valid asset for hodl

Or you could maybe consider that if it becomes harder to get, in a long-term perspective its price should go up.
Demand for XMR is fairly high, as can be seen from the stocks held by some DEXs. I think that CEXs delisting it is a positive thing from a long-term perspective. They will stop selling their XMR paper and it may eventually fetch its fair price ;)

How's the investment? I think most people consider XMR as an XMR investment. + this asset is completely anonymous. And this is what contributed to the delisting (of this asset) from Binance. + on the chart clearly shows that the price on a little bit back, there is absolutely no cause for concern. This situation clearly shows that it's regulation time. Such (anonymous) assets will be removed from exchanges more and more often.
P.S. Don't forget that there are other exchanges that support XMR deposit/withdrawal without any problems. There are more than enough alternatives (for now). How it will be further, we will see. Thanks for the link to the article. 8)

well it could be a good way to make some money
but then I would also like to spend this money on buying things
if it is difficult for me to spend it the price goes down
I think it works that way

Though there are different wallet that are used for storing cryptocurrencies. I normally use ledger Nano S because it is a hardware wallet that offers a high level of security for storing cryptocurrencies as well as that of monero(XMR)

If I am not wrong, you need to use Ledger Live with Feather or Monero GUI no?
IIRC you can't store XMR directly with Ledger Live, but I could be wrong about that.

This is correct.
Both trezor and ledger hardware wallets support monero, but you need to use third party wallets for sending and receiving transactions.
I don't see anything bad with that, and Feather wallet is very similar like Electrum wallet for bitcoin.
I am not sure about OneKey hardware wallet, they support Monero and have it listed in OneKey app.

Ledger Nano S isn't best hardware wallet. However, it's weird that you use Ledger to store Monero, but use Trust wallet to store Solana, even though Solana supported by Ledger Live software.
I use trust wallet because it serves as a multi-chain wallet that support different Blockchain e.g Solana. Just follow the instructions provided by the app, once you have a Solana wallet you can use it to store, send and receive SOL. and remember to keep your seed phrase and don't share to anyone.
IIRC you can't store XMR directly with Ledger Live, but I could be wrong about that.
In first place, you don't store XMR or XMR's private key on Ledger Live (or similar software) though, as it's just a software which "bridge" between you and the hardware wallet.

uh if feather work with an hardware wallet is very nice feature and i am going to install now instant!
u confirm this?

Feather wallet works with Trezor and Legder hardware wallets.
You don't need someone else to confirm this for you, it's easy to find all the information on Feather website, and it takes only a few minutes to download it and install everything.

i see exodus make a mobile app (i never heard it)
https://www.exodus.com/mobile/
honestly I don't like exodus very much because it's not open source
but it was nice to have internal shapeshift to exchange coins, really very convenient
if I'm not mistaken you can also take away the seed phrase
anyone use it?

I used Exodus in the past for some shitcoins, but as you said, it's closed-source, so I would avoid it. Indeed, you have access to your seed with Exodus.
If I had to use a mobile (android) wallet for XMR, I would probably use Monerujo or maybe Cake wallet. At least you could review the code on Github
-
anyone use it?
It looks almost the same as their desktop app, so you didn't miss anything.
People are using it mostly because integrated swap service, but this is just third party centralized exchanges that are known for freezing coins.
I don't recommend using Exodus wallet, there are several good alternatives for open source multicoin wallets with monero suport (Onekey, Stack wallet, Cake wallet).

ah thanks for mentioning these multiwallets
in the past I used coinomi but now the project seems abandoned and I didn't have or rather didn't know about other open source multicurrency wallets
Now I know better, thanks for the trick
- Onekey
- Stack wallet
- Cake wallet
