NAGA Wallet: Cryptocurrency Solutions for your Success

Since the launch of Bitcoin in 2009, cryptocurrency topics are getting more and more attention. Day by day, more people are getting interested and involved in crypto. The geeky community that supported crypto through the first steps is being joined – and possibly supplanted – by ordinary people that don’t have a deep understanding about blockchain technologies and have either come to this space for speculative purposes or followed a new project whose ICO they stumbled on. This article is for the latter group, we want to take a look at the wallet options available for the storage of and interaction with cryptocurrencies.

Cryptocurrency Wallet: The What and The How

Cryptocurrency transactions have a lot in common with other forms of electronic payments. They require a minimum of two online accounts, accounts that are capable of holding, sending and receiving funds. The difference between a cryptocurrency account, most commonly called the wallet and a bank account or an e-wallet is mainly in the way transactions are performed.

Whenever you access your bank account, you are basically asking your bank to tell you how much money you have. The same goes with sending money to someone. You log in and ask your bank to send your money to someone else and you trust that they will do so timely and accurately. When it comes to cryptocurrencies, you are not asking a third party (like a bank). Your wallet gets its information directly from the blockchain, so no third party is involved. You are in control of your own money. Much like a real wallet where you would hold cash, a crypto wallet belongs to the one holding access keys to it.

There are three types of cryptocurrency wallets that are most commonly used today:

1. Web/Online wallets – These wallets are not “tied” to a device, they exist on the internet and can be accessed through any device as long as you have your access credentials. Although very user-friendly, these types of wallets are considered to be the least protected because information about them is stored at a third party and is more likely to be compromised.
2. Desktop/Mobile wallets – Mobile and desktop wallets are essentially applications that you download and install on your device. You can access these wallets from that device only but if the device is lost or broken you may restore your wallet from on another device. These are considered to be more secure than web wallets but the safety of your funds depends on how secure your device is.
3. Hardware wallets – Hardware wallets are becoming the go-to solution for storing larger amounts of crypto. Essentially they are encrypted devices that hold your private keys. In order to access your wallet, you have to plug in the device into a desktop computer and run an application which will only be accessible when the device is plugged in.

Let’s review some examples:

Blockchain.info

This well known and highly trusted web solution allows access from any browser or device. Two stages of authentication and pin code take care of the data security, but the service is highly prone to downtimes.

Mycelium

Mycelium is a mobile solution. The user has complete control over their cryptocurrency transfers and access to such advanced features as cold storage, PDF backups, QR code scanner etc. We must note, nonetheless, that Mycelium has a really high entrance threshold – its user must have a solid understanding of cryptocurrency operations and blockchain technology first.

Exodus

Exodus offers a desktop digital wallet that provides the opportunity to store, exchange and trade different cryptocurrencies. Thanks to its intuitive interface and high level of security, Exodus (launched in 2016) quickly gained significant momentum with cryptocurrency users. It is however NOT an open source solution, meaning malicious code could potentially be added by its developers.

Ledger Nano S

The Ledger Nano S is a battery-less device which you can connect to any Windows, Mac, and Chrome OS computer (and some Linux systems) via USB. It has a sleek and attractive design. Some of its core features are the ability to backup your seed key for recovery, easy to use OLED interface, and a flash drive like feel with two buttons on the side for navigating the interface.
