In cryptocurrency, security is a big big issue. How do you secure your funds from being stolen or getting lost. Previously we have discussed various types of wallets. We touched on a type that is referred to as a COLD STORAGE wallet. Strictly speaking this is a wallet that is not used on the internet. You may want to use this type of wallet for storing funds that you will not want to access in the short term. A good practice is to only keep small amounts on your hot wallet. At Crypto Tamanga we have designed a Paper wallet (see image above). This wallet will be printed and supplied to everyone who attends a session with us or community members. The first one will be free while subsequent ones will have to be paid for. We can also supply to non community members at a small fee. The instructions for retrieving a wallet address and QR code are as follows: Route 1: If you already have a wallet in use.

In comes the second strategy - investing. Four months ago I'd have talked a

In this review I will look at the features of the Jaxx wallet, what makes it tick and the concerns currently. The wallet supports more than 50 different cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Bitcoin Cash and more. This is something definitely worth considering when choosing a wallet but it is not the thing that gets me. WHat does though, is how simple it is to use. I particularly like its minimalistic layout. The layout is intuitive making it extremely easy for a user, even a newbie to cryptocurrency, to use. The user can simply choose to receive, send or exchange their preferred coin by simply logging in and selecting their currency of choice. Let us take a quick tour of the menu offered by th
