To be very true, i am feeling anxious as most people use Electrum on the computer and trust it that our funds are safe. What else can we use if we do not have a hardware wallet?
A separate device or a linux pc with just your wallet and no other BS installed should do. Just dont use that device for any other thing.
Our security is in our hands, if we are reckless enough even the hardware wallet can get drained Tongue


I can understand this as julerz12 was doing the same, using the computer with electrum installed and at the same time using it for other purposes too. Most of us do that, don't we?

Anyways, what if we uninstall the electrum wallet from the PC and install it again if we want to send the funds? We can still receive funds if the wallet is not installed on the computer. (for those who do not have a spare computer)

2nd option, use a password-protected wallet file, Malware can't decode the code, isn't ?
