Best Pivx Wallet 2019 – Web Wallet for Pivx – PIVX wallet for Windows, Mac, Linux

Which is the best wallet for PIVX? Pivx is still a fairly new currency and it is obvious that companies like coinbase and cex.io will take some time to adopt this currency.

Exchange Pivx Wallets

If you are looking for something like MyEtherWallet for Pivx, there are none. Fortunately, there are several exchange wallets that you can use to buy and trade Pivx.

The one that I use is bittrex.com as I trade some other popular crypto currencies there as well. The design of the website is slick and does not slow down the computer like poloniex.

That being said, if all you are looking is bitcoin to PIVX conversion or vice-versa, then Changelly is the best option. Of course, you can do that on an exchange but Changelly is better if you are using a non-exchange wallet – for instance, if you have bitcoin stored on coinbase / cex.io and you want to change some of your bitcoin to Pivx, then Changelly is a better option.

Other exchanges that give you a Pivx wallet are binanceanycoindirect.eu, litebit.eu and bitsquare.io.

Desktop Pivx Wallets

Desktop wallets are popular among those who want complete control over their wallet. This requires you to download a piece of software and entire blockchain – that can run into many gigabytes. But, they are not prone to hacking attacks and Pivx stored on them is completely safe. They take considerably more time to setup and running.

Desktop Pivx wallets are available for windows (64bit, 32bit), Mac, Linux(x32, x64) and even Raspberry Pi (Rpi2, Rpi3).

PivX paper wallet

If you are planning to store your PivX coins for long term or do not want to store them online, going with the paper wallet makes most sense. In this, you generate address and private key and send the Pivs to the address. Then, you can use a desktop wallet to import the private key to send the funds.

PivX Light Wallet

On a desktop, the only option is to download entire blockchain. PivX recently released a light wallet client for Windows, Mac and Linux that lets you manage your PivX without downloading blockchain. This saves time and makes it ideal for a normal user or merchant.
