Thanks for your advice. I do take them very seriously. I have been thinking of getting the ledger wallet for a while now but wasnt sure if it was absolutely necessary. I also liked the idea of creating my own cold storage wallet (usb stick) but wasnt sure how safe that was. It sounds like i really should get a hardware wallet. Rigt now ledger nano s seems to be in backorder till september but there is the more expensive and more convenient looking ledger blue. Is this one just as safe as ledger nano s? Are these devices 100% safe?
I am a very cautious person by nature and i even worry about things like somebody possibly guessing my seed word correctly. Is this a far remote possibility given such enormous number of possible permutations? Is this essentially as impossible as guessing someones private keys or breaking an aes 256 encryption? I have heard stories like some wallets like Jaxx getting hacked just by hackers cracking the seed words correctly and stealing coins without even having any contact with the owners computer. As i understand, ledgers have seed words too. How are they different from Jaxxs and are they 100% safe?
Thanks in advance.
