I have downloaded the wallet and all of my Safex has been properly stored and I am excitedly waiting for the marketplace to launch so I can start acquiring dividends. Having a software wallet has me a bit nervous though, seeing as how I prefer a hardware wallet. What sort of precautions can I take to insure my Safex is safe on the wallet, and is the Safex team looking into the possibility of a hardware wallet that still allows us to collect dividends?
