Since Coinbase has declared their intention to integrate the Lightning Network with their exchange wallets, waiting until that process is ready to use would save me a lot of transaction fees.  Eventually I want to have my own node up and operational, but that's a long learning curve. I can wait a bit. I'd rather not pay the high fees if I can help it.

What type of wallet or device did you transfer into? I'm avoiding the USB devices for now, seems a high cost for unnecessary security measures that my wife and son would not want to bother with.  (They're just not interested right now with price < $1M)
