I want 2FA as well - as long as it works and I can actually log in. I'll look at the other ones. Re putting money on there - I'm assuming I can buy alt coin with bitcoin then transfer it to another wallet/offline when done?

Correct. But you'll incur withdrawal fees every time you do.

If you wish to exchange alt-coins with other alt-coins, without using an online exchange, and without fees (more or less) then look into using https://bisq.network - bonus being you're always storing your coins locally on your machine or encrypted cloud or wherever you want.

Scooter, can you help me out with a question?

I wanted to get some Zencash so I bought some bitcoin on coinbase, transferred x amount to bittrex and now have zencash.

My question is, do I need a Zencash wallet? IF so, any advice on a suitable one?

I'm assuming that worst case, I can always convert back to BTC within Bittrex and then send back to Coinbase if I wanted to?

Alos, where was the tip on Dash?!

Thanks

Thanks NLUK, is there a wallet that can hold a variety of cryptos? Ben following this post for a long time but complicated as hell to get your head around!

Jaxx can hold multiple coins.

DYOR of course.

There are loads of them. I'd say do a bit of your own research in to them so you fully understand them. Decide for yourself which is best for you, Cloud Based, local, hardware etc. This isn't really stuff you should be doing asking someone else and then just blindly doing it. Tons of decent sites reviewing all the different options and weighing the pros and cons. Spend a bit of time on Google.

Thanks, seen some very good advice in this thread which has taught me a lot and much prefer to ask in a forum and get some real hands on advice / feedback. Google is full of millions of articles about crypto so difficult to know which to trust. When there is very knowlegable people here, it's a great resource.

Don't worry, I wont take anything on here as gospel and will do my own research too but if you can't chat and ask questions in an online forum then where can you do it

Absolutely.

I have 2 questions for today:

1 - What news sources do those in the know follow?

2 - Any alt-coins worth mining? I have an Azure sub as part of my MS partner agreement (for the action pack) which is gathering dust....

2 - Any alt-coins worth mining?

Mining (especially in the UK) is a mugs game now, so difficult and time consuming to make decent cash unless you've got custom hardware and have tiny/no electricty costs (think a sub zero warehouse of noisy mining rigs in China)

Saw a recent YouTube vid of some UK guy who spent £2K+ on a custom 4GPU self build mining rig, after building it he calced that it would him take 2 years running 24/7 in the UK to make back the cost of the rig.

As I type this I'm just started an Ethereum (pool) miner on my laptop in a window in the background, thrashing the GPU.
Look, I've just made cash out of thin air .. yipee. I'm a genuine miner - something else for the CV

However the amount and rate of my earning is 'so low' and UK electricity costs so high (world relative) it will take me days running 24/7 on this lappy to afford a mars bar - plus my hardware will be shot.

But if I rent a warehouse in China and buy a shed load of custom rigs ..ummm..
