Thanks for you thread mate. It is a great idea to gather all that usefull tips in one place. I'm sure that such thread deserve to pinned. It will help newbs to save their money and will help the community to get rid of low quality / scam ICOs.
📌Operating system. To store crypto currency on desktop wallets, it is more reasonable and safer to use Linux operating systems, Ubuntu for example;
Can you pls explain me the point about Linux and why Windows is bad? It seems to be obvious because everyone talk about it but I still haven't seen an explanation of that point and I don't know much about cubersecurity.
P.S. It may also seem obvious but I wou;d suggest to add a point about checking the sources about the ICOs. For example to check if the team is real, find their Linkedin profiles and check for references. Also it is always good to check their twitter for fake followers.
I am also interested in this question. Many times I have heard this advice. Linux is difficult to learn. For this reason, most people use Windows when dealing with cryptocurrencies. If someone to explain in detail why this is so, I also think about changing the operating system.
