By reading your post history I see you're getting ready for mining and that you have $100k to invest, but at the same time you ask for some free to use wallet?

Lol, some people are weird--no offense, OP.

I agree 100% about the hardware wallet option, but I think he's looking for a software one. I have to chime in and support the members who recommended Electrum, because it's a fantastic wallet and you can set the network fees as low as you want. It's available for desktop and smartphones. Very easy to use, pretty on the eyes, and it's a safe and reliable wallet.

I totally understand what OP wants, but sometimes to get the full picture it still has to be scratched a little deeper. When we consider that someone is investing (or planning to invest) about $ 100k in the crypto business, then it is not difficult to conclude that all these funds + earnings must be returned at one point. In my opinion, it is completely crazy to store such amounts in a hot desktop/mobile wallet with all the dangers to which such software is exposed.

So I would disagree that Electrum is safe in general, all you have to do is think of a very sophisticated phishing attack that has taken place in the recent past and is still ongoing, with losses being measured in thousands of BTC. OP can start to use Electrum, everything can be OK for some time and then at one point of carelessness fake wallet download and game over.

We can only give advice, everyone takes the risk for their money and their actions. Even hardware wallets in the wrong hands will not be able to prevent someone's stupidity.
