Top 5 Doge wallets for holding Dogecoin

1.Dogecoin Wallet (desktop and mobile wallet)

The best place to start this list of Dogecoin wallets is with the currency’s official offering. Available for desktop (Windows, Mac, and Linux) platforms and Android smartphones, this wallet is designed to allow for the easy and convenient management of DOGE.

The wallet is simple to set up and use, and the synchronization process takes between one and five minutes to complete. It’s not the prettiest user interface going around but it’s easy to navigate and understand right from the get-go."Top 5 Doge wallets for holding Dogecoin"

Unfortunately, there’s no iOS app to keep iPhone users happy, and as this is a DOGE only wallet anyone who wants to store multiple cryptocurrencies will need to look elsewhere.

2.Ledger Nano S (hardware wallet)

For safe and secure storage of cryptocurrencies, most users recommend offline storage. One offline storage option worth considering is the Ledger Nano S, a popular hardware wallet that boasts a number of security features.

This small USB device stores your private keys in a secure element protected by a PIN, while it also features an easy back-up and restore feature along with support for two-factor authentication. There’s a built-in OLED display which, along with buttons on the device that need to be physically pressed, can be used to manually verify transactions.

3.KeepKey (hardware wallet)

KeepKey is another leading player in the hardware wallet sector. Launched in 2015, this cold-storage wallet supports several cryptocurrencies alongside Dogecoin, including bitcoin, Ethereum and Dash, and once again places a heavy emphasis on security.

As it’s a hierarchical deterministic (HD) wallet, the KeepKey allows you to generate and store an unlimited number of private keys. The device is PIN protected and features a large display for tracking transactions.

All transactions also need to be manually confirmed using a button on the device. You can exchange between assets directly on your KeepKey using ShapeShift, and your wallet works on PC, Mac, Linux and Android operating systems.

However, you’ll need to fork out more than INR 12000 for the KeepKey, making it more expensive than the Nano S and not an ideal option for some DOGE holders.

4.Jaxx (desktop and mobile wallet)

A multi-coin wallet that can be accessed on multiple devices, Jaxx is another popular option for anyone looking to store Dogecoin. Launched in 2014, Jaxx supports Dogecoin, bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dash, Zcash and dozens of other coins and tokens, so it’s well worth considering if you’re looking to store a diverse range of cryptocurrencies.

It’s also worth a look if you want the convenience of multi-platform access. You can use Jaxx on your desktop (Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems), mobile (Android and iOS devices), and through a Chrome browser extension.

It boasts an impressive user interface and allows you to retain control of your private keys, while new users will have no trouble managing their coins and tokens through Jaxx. Built-in ShapeShift functionality is another convenient feature.

The main downside to be aware of is that Jaxx isn’t immune to security concerns. The June 2017 news of a US$400,000 crypto theft due to a Jaxx wallet “vulnerability” reinforces the importance of maximising security when managing your cryptocurrency coins.

5.Coinomi (mobile wallet)

Coinomi is a user-friendly mobile wallet that provides a host of useful features for DOGE buyers. With a focus on fast and easy cryptocurrency management, this popular app supports more than 190 cryptocurrencies, including Dogecoin, bitcoin, Ethereum, Dash and Zcash.

An HD wallet, Coinomi is fast to set up and allows you to store your private keys on your device.

You can start sending and receiving payments in just a few simple steps, and there’s an in-built ShapeShift exchange for extra functionality.'Top 5 Doge wallets for holding Dogecoin'

You also don’t have to go through any Know Your Customer (KYC) bureaucracy to manage your funds, which is an important feature for anyone who values their anonymity. Unfortunately, there’s not yet an app available for iPhone users. However, the iOS app was in beta testing at the time of writing.
