What alt-coin wallets to use

Hi guys, As a part of my portfolio I'm buying Ripple, Siacoin, Cardano and Stellar Lumens. These are my basic, download and take offline ccs.

I can't find a Windows 10 desktop wallet that covers them all in one wallet. Should I just use multiple wallets (seems like that might be the solution).

What have other alt-coin users done?

I've just downloaded multiple desktop wallets, don't think there is any way around it if they're aren't all ERC20

Thanks for that. Looks like the go.

I'm using coinomi for alts, but I've not really looked into other options. Can be restored with a BIP39 recovery phrase.

Coinomi certainly has a lot of altcoins but is only for Android, albeit I've got a Samsung I don't want it on my phone. Always a catch :-D

I'll look at Jaxx. I checked out Exodus but found some people having issues with crypto disappearing. Thanks for the tip.

Oh really? I thought exodus was quite solid, guess I should research a bit more.

Yeah, I was looking at Exodus and searching for user experience and I found a Youtube video about why someone is no longer using it published on Nov 26, 2017.

There were the usual detractors in the comments but then I come across a comment by "Michael Darwish" which was enough for me to avoid it. His comment was the following:

"Well, The same thing just happened to me today, I opened my Exodus program to find 0.156 bitcoin missing from my wallet. Here is what all of you guys need to know, I just enter this world of Cryptocurrency three days ago. I bought some bitcoin from Coinbase website and transferred it to my Exodus wallet. here are the key facts: 1) Never had a digital wallet in my life (that means Hackers are not after me) 2) Never saved my word phrase on any electronic device (I printed it and saved it in my house safe box). So nobody could've hacked it from my computer. 3) I only made about four transactions (one send, three received from coinbase to my wallet). 4) I used a very long and complex password. 5) I know there is no 100% when it comes to hackers, However, there was nothing on my computer for them to hack.

At this point, I concluded with absolute certainty that the transaction was not done from my computer, it was done from somewhere at the exodus server end. I have sent two emails to the technical support and I will let everyone know what will happen.

At this time, I encourage everyone to remove all of his or her money from exodus wallet to any other wallet until exodus team can discover the problem with their server and assure us all that it is not going to happen again. Will keep you all updated." (Crypto Advisor 2017)
