Unfortunately accessibility and bitcoin wallets are often hit or miss, but  I can recommend Bitpay's wallet copay.io.

Blockchain.info might also be accessible, and you can export your wallet to an offline paper backup.

If the browser based wallet doesn't work under Windows, Voiceover will often make it more accessible under IOS Safari.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm trying out Copay, but am running into some trouble with the user agreement. For some reason, I can't figure out how to accept it. I'll have someone look at it for me and see how well it works once I get passed the agreement.

Hi.
First things first, for all those who expect to mine with their well, possibly just mid class PC or laptop can forget about it because even with a high end graphics card which my machine has, it would take god knows how long to get even something out of it. There are special mining devices with multiple graphics cards and even there, due to the power usage and the costs it generates, it would'nt be profitable in any way.
Greetings Moritz.

That's the reason why i said mining, not storing or managing.
Greetings Moritz.

mining means that you create new coins.
But for Bitcoin mining you need asic Miners and not graphic cards etc. You can mine with those but you wouldn't get anything out of it because the miningdificulty is to high.

The securest way to store bitcoin is the official Bitcoinwallet (bitcoin core) You can download it from
https://bitcoin.org/download
The most accessible IOS wallet is Mycelium.

@DarkSide, as I had said in post #5, I already downloaded two packages, one for Windows, and one for Linux. I got stuck in the terms of service on the windows side, and I cant' figure out how to install it on Vinux apart from extracting it in the terminal.

Hi.
yeah, Darkside pritty much explained what bitcoin mining is. Those mining devices have multiple graphics cards to process the information, the advantage over CPU mining is that the GPU's can process the information in a paralel way, don't question me on the insides now.
If you watnt to know more about mining and what is actually done, how you generate hashes and how the block chain works, google is your friend as so often.
Greetings Moritz.

from what I've seen, mining is just more trouble than its worth. As stated before, you need a lot of power. If its something you really want to do, check out platforms that were specifically designed for this purpose

@cartertemm If you buy professional asic miners, then you don't have trouble at all. They are made for mining.
But mining with Hardware which are not made for mining, can for example burn after one or  two months if u don't configure it right and use the right mining software.
Mining definitely worth it when you choose the right coin, just look at the cryptocurrencie prices and you will understand why.

I use nicehash minor legacy and blockchain.info. I know that I'm not going to make much, but it's something and that's really all I'm after. A learning experience. It just chugs along on my laptop, pulling about a dollar maybe a bit higher a day.

A quick google search for what you just asked will give you more information than I, or probably others on this forum can.

How did you read the 24 phrase seed, which is only shown on the Display of the Nano S?
The Problem what I see here is that you have to ask someone to read it for you, if you can't see it. Never share/show your private key, or the phrases which can be used to calculate the key!

How accessible is the Wallet with an screenreader? I know this device but never used it.
