I use the Coinomi wallet

(best one out there-- available for Android and iOS, you control your keys and the wallet does not require KYC-- just like a hardware Ledger, Bitlox or Trezor does not-- and the wallet company, Coinomi, cannot freeze or lock out access to your coins like Freewallet and many other crypto "wallets" out there. Remember, if someone can lock you out of your wallet then it is not your wallet. Enjin's cell phone wallet is a good candidate also.)

however to find your .dat file use Windows search function and make sure "hidden" and "system" files are included and search for

"wallet.dat"

and it should turn up.

Hi,

Have you ever used Freewallet and had your account locked or denied access to your funds? I will be happy to hear from you at lauren@freewallet.org.

In regards to your assumption, we don't lock access unless the security algorithm is triggered; it's been extremely effective so far in preventing illicit activities and money laundering.

Hope this helps to shed light on Freewallet's service!

There is no assumption.

"Illicit uses" and "money laundering" are old reasons given by the fiat banking system to institute tight controls on users' funds. The banks themselves are involved in such activities, this has been heavily documented in the public-- along with fines-- so such buzzwords are meaningless and are used to stoke fear and give an excuse for the need to freeze people's accounts.

If a company can close a wallet-- for WHATEVER reason that "They" deem necessary-- then they can close a wallet. Period.

If my wallet is in my pocket and someone can stick their hand in at any time, for any reason, take it out, and decide what parameters I have to meet in order to get "my" money back?

Then it is not my wallet at all.

I have been in crypto since bitcoin was under $200. I will never allow newbies to not understand what options are out there and

I will never allow newbies to be misled about services, wallets, coins, information and such things. I had a lot of people help me in my beginnings and I am continuing that assistance to give information to those now joining the world of cryptocurrency.

Cryptocurrency Users! ===> DO NOT USE ***ANY*** WALLET that you do not hold the KEYS/PASSPHRASE to.

"Not your keys? Not your wallet."

ALSO!

Do NOT keep your money on EXCHANGES. They go down. They get hacked. They run with the funds like Cobinhood just did.

No one is going to sit day and night and try to hack into your little Ledger Nano, Trezor or Coinomi wallet. It is not a big target. Let's say you have $200,000 in there? It's STILL not a big target. Hundreds of people are constantly, though, trying to hack into Coinbase, Kucoin and whatever other top exchanges are out there. Now, how do you work with exchanges? Simple...

Send the funds there for your transactions. Complete them. Then, remove your funds to a personal software wallet like Coinomi or Exodus or a hardware wallet like Bitlox, Ledger or Trezor. That's it. You Do Not Trust Any Company, Entity, or Group to hold your coins for you.

You have been warned!
