1) Check the fees in previous blocks and set your custom fees (sat/b) in your wallet so your transaction won't get stucked for 5 days.

2) Unconfirmed Transaction Count, Pending Transaction Fee in BTC, Mempool Size in BTC

3) Boost your Bitcoin transaction.
https://bitaccelerate.com/ or use the Bitcoin Transaction Accelerator from HF (go to Hacker Tools).

4) Find a LOCAL ATM BTC in your area and exchange btc to fiat anonymously. You can also check the fees that local atm has or if there is an option to sell/buy alt-coins.

5) Bitcoin Explorer (txid,blocks,charts,hashrate,data).

There is no exchanger that can guarantee that you won't get hacked and lose your Crypto from your account. If you trust your coins in an exchanger is exactly the same if you trust your money in a bank. You give them to hold your money, you DON'T CONTROL THESE COINS, they do.
I recommend to exchange your crypto-fiat and withdraw fast, you don't have to hold your money there.


The only way to be sure is if you store your crypto in your own wallets and control your coins.
Your KEYS = Your COINS ,  NOT Your KEYS = NOT Your COINS

I highly recommend to get a hardware wallet to store your crypto, but if that's not an option for you then I would say that your crypto are more safe in your mobile phone than your PC (Operating systems on smartphones are way more secure than desktops/laptops).
I'm using desktop wallets but I'm careful a lot and never store more than I can afford to lose.

WRITE IN A PAPER THE 12-24 WORDS PHRASE, NOT IN YOUR PC. DON'T EVER LOSE THAT PAPER, there is no crypto help desk that can help you :]

Android:
-Samourai Wallet (can enable tor and mixing coins, increased privacy)
-Eclair wallet (can use lightning)
-Mycelium
-Jaxx (multi-coin wallet)
-Trustwallet (multi-coin wallet)
-Coinomi (multi-coin wallet)

IOS:
-Blockstream Green
-Mycelium
-Breez wallet (can use lightning)
-Zap wallet (can use lightning)
-Trustwallet (multi-coin wallet)
-Coinomi (multi-coin wallet)
If you use a mobile wallet and you store all your coins there I recommend to be careful with the apps that you download.

Desktop:
-Wasabi wallet (can enable tor and coinjoin for mixing coins, increased privacy)
-Exodus


Here is an example of coinjoin of Wasabi. (it works the same for Samourai Wallet for android with whirpool)

Even if you try to track the funds from the previous addresses you'll not be able.

Some more info.
There are three address types:

Legacy (P2PKH): addresses start with a 1.
Nested SegWit (P2SH): addresses start with a 3.
Native SegWit (bech32): addresses start with bc1.

Why is SegWit good?
The main benefit of separating the transaction signature from the transaction data is it reduces the size of the transaction data needed to store in one Bitcoin block. This allows each block to have extra capacity to store more transactions per block. This means the network can process more transactions per block and the sender pays lower transaction fees. This helpsfaster transactions as well as added security. Basically, use your SegWit address to receive deposits if you want lower fees when it's time to send the BTC out.

Another main benefit of SegWit addresses is that they are backwards compatible, meaning that you are able to send funds from a Bitcoin SegWit address to a Legacy Bitcoin address. On the other hand if you try to send from a Legacy address to Native Segwit, you'll probably receive a message of ''Invalid Address''.

Stop using wallets that use only Legacy addresses like Blockchain wallet, start using wallets that support SegWit💯💯💯💯💯

Thanks a lot for the info bro!

I agree that these wallets are very good to store your ether and other coins/tokens.

I 100% recommend ledger nano X as I'm using it and I'm very satisfied, I think Ledger company has an offer if you buy Ledger Nano X and Ledger Nano S.
I never tried trezor to be honest but users say that it's amazing too.

I'm Stanley HF's helper bot. This OP (original poster) of this thread wants everyone to see this page and has elected to bump it to the top of the showthread listing. Since HF doesn't want a ton of LQP (Low Quality Posts) this is the best method of bumping your content. There is a small βyte fee for each bump. Any OP can bump any of their threads on HF from the linked icon on the top of their first post.

If you haven't already read the first post of this thread we encourage you to do so.

Thanks,
Stanley
