Bitcoin Forum

Which is the most used? Any ideas? Desktop and Mobile.

You will get plenty of answers which I guess. Unless you stated if you are looking for online wallet, mobile wallet or desktop wallet.
Anyway I am using Multibit as desktop and Mycelium as mobile wallet.

More options please.

i like "bitcoin wallet" for mobile, check it out on bitcoin.org, there all the wallet that you need to know about

If we are going to speak about mobile then I think most of people use Mycelium (for Android) , I'm not sure about iOS .
If we speak about the Desktop wallet then I'd choose Electrum since it had the seed that helps you recover your wallet in case of a computer failure or something else .
But if you have the resources (internet speed, RAM etc ...) you should run Bitcoin Core since you will be helping the network and it's more secure I suppose .

wrong section you can ask at here Bitcoin Forum > Other > Beginners & Help (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=39.0)
read this thread : Best bitcoin wallet? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1163283.0)

you can use electrum for PC and mycellium for mobile

I generally tell new users to start out with Coinbase or Circle. Once people get used to buying, selling, and using Bitcoin I tell them to get a wallet they control like Copay. For advanced users, I generally recommend Mycelium combined with a Ledger Unplugged or a Ledger HW.1. For reviews of most of these, check out the review section on my website (https://incorporatingbitcoin.com).

I use Bitcoin Core, it's the only client I trust and feel comfortable to use. It also allows me to run a full node to support the Bitcoin network.

Browse through www.bitcoin.org and check out the different wallets.

I would say blockchain.info is the most used, with coinbase following it.

I use Multibit. Cold stored and secured  :)

I have used Mycelium on my Android tablet and Copay on my Microsoft Lumia phone and both are working great. On the browser I have used the Blockchain wallet which is newcomers friendly.

I use electrum in my PC, really newbie friendly and easy to use.

In my mobile I have android Lolipop OS. In that I have Blockchain and Coinbase account. Both are very fast and reliable in low network connection as well. In desktop I have Electrum Standard Edition. Electrum Very fast wallet in the market as much I know.If we take multibit or Bitcoincore. This very faster than that.

Already discussed many times. The better question is which bitcoin wallet is most secure?

There are lots of thread about that in Beginners and Help section I think.

And yes check bitcoin.org. There's a list.

I would suggest to use desktop wallet, in addition to more secure, its use can not be done without a PC, if you use the wallet of the mobile, it is very easy to plow, and very easy to send bitcoin you have, maybe your friend could send bitcoin you had unknowingly

Bitcoin core and Electrum are my favorite Bitcoin wallets right now. Electrum is fast because you don't have to wait days to download the entire Blockchain. That makes is perfect for beginners.

Right now i am only using desktop online wallet. My internet is quite slow so i haven't even downloaded wallet. ;D
Blockchain.info wallet is enough for me.

if you want a simple purse wallet blockchain use on smartphones that you have, because blockchain already prepared a wallet application is used via mobile

I vote for Coinbase as the most used wallet.

I think it depends on your personal preferences as well as if you're new to bitcoin or advanced. If you're new, I would say start out with online wallets, just do a little research on what you're looking for in a online wallet. Same goes for offline, desktop or mobile wallets.

desktop is better, i use multibit

Yes Electrum wallet is very good and It is a solid lightweight desktop client, meaning that it does not download the full blockchain. Instead, it relies on servers to do much of the work. It performs well in the bitcoin wallet, It offers the most simple easy-to-use and minimalistic interface of all the online and desktop wallets.

I think that the most used is blockchain web-wallet, its free and its the first for a lot of users that start earning some bits from faucets. After that some sites where you can buy bitcoins like coinbase or xapo, or some exchanges.

I use web based wallets so it is both accesible by desktop and mobile on the web but I use mycelium wallet in my mobile for securing my coins. I don't use desktop and so I don't have any wallet like bitcoincore or etc.

Yeah Blockchain always good. I am using mobile application also for blockchain.info in my android phone. Its very convenient for me. and In desktop always go with Electrum Because Its very fast and It can work in less internet connection as well. I used multibit also but that's not very fast like Electrum. Especially doing transaction.

I think Xapo is quite convenient and secure. I also have CoinPocket on my iPhone.

Yes Xapo has some advanced features like vault and bitcoin debit card. More over I use Xapo as my hot wallet for the reason of it does not require for sending payments, which is highly required feature if you in need of sending payments many times per day. 

in mobile people mostly use blockchain and mycelium wallet (recommended) i love its features and easy to use functions :) and i am sure everyone does and for desktop people use bitcoin qt wallet but if you want a light weight wallet then electrum wallet will be a good option. in optional i will suggest to have a private key backup , print it on a paper and use it like a paper wallet ir for the cold storage

First of all, you posted your question into the wrong board. Mods should move it to BitcoinDiscussion.

Second, the best Bitcoin wallet depends on the user's favour. I like Multibit and Electrum most, because they do not require to download the full blockchain.

Have never heard about coinpocket before. Doesn't xapo have iphone app ?

The best wallet for me is coins.ph because it secure your bitcoin and it need verificatiom or confirmation if you want to open it and also it doesn't have any paperworks like others.Blockchain is also kind of wallet that you can put your winning bitcoins in gambling sites and after you can transfer the bitcoin in coins.ph.

I guess you are a Filipino, due to your name and the bitcoin wallet you've chosen. Yes, Coins.ph wallet would be the best wallet but only for Filipino due to functionality. Coins.ph can be used for cashing out money thru bank transfer, load, game credits, western union etc,. But Coins.ph doesn't let us get into out private key and we can't sign a message on it. That means whenever the site goes down, then even our wallets and bitcoins will be gone too.
For me, the best wallet would be paper wallet which can secure our funds even offline. And let us access it thru different kinds of wallets such as blockchain(desktop) or Mycelium(Android) by the use of private key.

I like WebMoney. There is not only bitcoin, but also other major currencies. Very convenient to make the exchange.

the first op only ask about bitcoin wallet in special dekstop or mobile wallet if you answer webmoney
i think webmoney only online curency payment procesor, or now webmoney open service bitcoin wallet too

My personal favorite is Mycelium for mobile. The UI is pretty neat and I like the security of it. Also lots of helpful functionalities in it, I would give it a go if I were you.

Its not a wallet its an exchange site a wallet gives you full access to your address including private keys. btw back on topic, Im using both desktop and mobile, when Im at home definitely Im using my desktop wallet and if I have important things to do outdoor I usually used my mobile wallet it depends on the situation. 

currently i only use online wallet and never try desktop or mobille wallet but in my opinion all of them was pretty good as long as your wallet never got hacked i think both of them are safe however if may i to choose that desktop wallet is my choice

Just read those thread and you will find the best bitcoin wallet for android and ios, I am using mycellium bitcoin wallet.

Coinbase is asking you for personal data and I don't agree with that. Blockchain should be the most used one, as it was the first result I could see back in 2013 when I heard about BTC for the first time and there are over 10 million wallets registered there if I remember that correctly. Web wallets like Blockchain or Coinbase should only be used for funds that you don't want to save but to use.

Well I'd recommend blockchain.info for you because it can be used both in mobile and desktop, and it has a wide reputation of being the wallet of choice for everyone, beginners and experienced bitcoiners alike uses it a lot.

Blockchain.info unlike Coinbase allows you to retain control over your private keys, which means that your coins are never in counterparty danger. You don't need to trust anyone to keep honest as blockchain.info does not save your password on their servers anywhere.

But that also means that there will be no way to recover your password if you lose it alongside your email address. So make sure you take good care of that.

blockchain.info and coinbase wallet for web wallet.Multibit and Bitcoin core for desktop wallet.But all of them are not 100% safe :D

For anyone who hold less than 1 btc, I think it's better to use online/ website wallet. Because it's instant and don't need to worry about virus or loosing your device. About the security, it's all done with sms and google authenticator.
But if you are a traveler or mobile person that using bitcoin regularly, I would prefer to recommend mobile wallet.

And maybe someone want to know this information
Types of wallet :
1. Online bitcoin wallets. Wallets that can be accessed on the web from any internet connected device.
2. Bitcoin hardware wallets. Physical devices designed to secure bitcoins.
3. Software wallets. Wallet applications downloaded to your phone, computer or tablet.
4. Paper wallets. Bitcoin private keys printed from an offline computer.

As my personal wallet i love to use blockchain but people prefer coinbase or electrum, they are good also. blockchain have a lot of problems right now and bags better to use electrum or coinbase wallet for transactions. For mobile phone Blockchain are really good and easy to use,but you can try other ones for example coinbase v

There are lots of types of wallet its either web wallet,desktop wallet,hardware wallet it depends on the person on which wallet would he use and for me sicne i do make some transactions online with small amounts of bitcoin i do use of web wallet since they are easy to use specially blockchain.info but remember all wallets have risk on losing your bitcoin.

I think the most wallet that anyone who used are blockchain and coins.ph because it doesn't need any paperworks.In this wallet when you try to open it need confirmation or verification to avoid scam.

I think it is more likely that web wallets are the most used since many bitcoin users don’t want to deal with installing their own wallet, then I will probably guess the next most popular will be wallets for mobile devices since they are everywhere now, and finally the wallets for desktop.

The opinion you have can be considered that web wallets were popular in times of mobile devices is not yet present to access the internet, but looking into bitcoin wallets this modern days for mobile is available to be downloaded by through free services at google. That's why i believed coins.ph and blockchain conquered deeper of it's biggest market thoughout the entire country's services using didtal currency exchanges , and gladly they are affiliated with banks here in the country for cash out from wallet to fiat cash money.

Maybe yes maybe no. Taking me as an example my first wallet was a web one. Because nobody learned me anything about cryptocurrencies and that was the more easy way to store my first satoshis from faucets. After that I tested a mobile wallet only to check if it was appropriate for my needs but I gave it up because I had the opportunity to 'pair' my web wallet with my smartphone so it is more handy for me to control only one wallet in two different machines. At last, when I signed in this forum and I learned some about wallet security and reliability i went with desktop solution and now I trust most of all my desktop electrum wallet because I own the private keys and nobody else. As always security is not near with ease. You choose and get pros and cons.

I think with a web wallet is enough, this is because my bitcoin balance is still small, many people assume that the most dangerous web wallet and easily stolen. Next day maybe I will use desktop wallet.

I have mycelium wallet and i look for my private key but i found it the same with my address is that correct? If thats not my private ley then where do I find the private key

My colleague printed my QR codes and those were placed inside my physical wallet... everytime I need to use the money I just spot it with my camera.  ;D

those papers are non hackable... rock n roll!

Yes i lnow that but you need private key for that..my question is where do you get the copy of your private key..because it is not available in mycelium but i know which site i can get private key on specific address..is that the right private key im looking for?

I was just about to download the entire bitcoin core 0.14.0 wallet update from a few days ago but am wary to a hard drive crash so put it off for now.
I would stick to web wallets for now until one can get a reliable media to store the block chain on first.

I also use the web purse. But, some say it's not very safe. But I have never had problems with this purse

yes no doubt about this that most of the people are using online wallet for keeping their bitcoin, to me i also use online wallet for saving money, but i am using online wallet for different wallets for security reasons.

At the end it is impossible to know since there are no way to get the full statistics about that, but I think it is a safe guess that is that way, since my first wallet was a wallet on blockchain.info then when I realized I wanted more security for my bitcoins I installed my own desktop wallet.

I was using my mobile wallet that he can also use in online wallet. So there is a distinction is the online and mobile wallet because I confused what were different they both just bitcoin wallet. If there is a large difference please share so i can learn what others are talking about online and mobile wallet.

But the web wallet can't provide you a more security. And i think SPV or dekstop wallet is the best choice in my mind. XAPO is bad in my experience. I guess just try to use the dekstop wallet. and it will give more guarantee for your amount.

I used three wallet and I'm sure these wallet are secured and easy to use.
1. Blockchain wallet- this wallet have authentication when you open wallet and that's good because no one can open your account except to you.
2. Coinbase- this wallet have vault and very safe because when the hacker open your wallet in coinbase he cannot open you vault because they different password. They have also 2fa.
3.coins.ph - Asia's wallet and my country wallet. I like this wallet because the website sent me confirmation code in my mobile number when someone tried to open my account.

As far as i know there are over ten millions wallets hosted in Blockchain and over 6 millions on coinbase. So i think it can be  right to say that both are the most used in the bitcoin community. The problem is that it's really impossible, in my opinion, to compare with others web based wallets or bitcoin client... It could be interesting to see accurate statistics about this but as say i think it's near impossible to get it. Generally most people starting with bitcoin, start with a web based wallet, and if they continue or not using bitcoin they still have their web baseed wallet as you can't delete your account

Mobile wallet or web wallet is being commonly used because its easy to use and theres no hassle on creating one. As a begginer mostly will start on creating web wallet because it is suggested specially on small transactions of bitcoin but if we are already talking about big amounts of bitcoin then desktop or hardware wallet would be the best wallet among them all.

It's alright to using Web wallet to store small amount of Bitcoin but for huge usage better to use desktop wallet for security matter. Indeed, web wallet has a big risk because close their service but with such reputation that's very hard to close that.

advantage use web wallet without syncronize wallet
easy and instant can use, after register youre addres is ready use, web wallet is support use private key is safe, you can open youre wallet addres is anytime anywhere use private key

I'm used blockchain over a year and I trust him alot. I'm also split my bits into my local exchanger so if something bad happen on blockchain, I have other back up for my bitcoin wallet.
I'm wonder myself why I trust only blockchain although there are many good online wallet to such as coinbase etc

i think 2 big bitcoin wallet nowaday is just coinbase.com and blockchain.info, they're easy to used, there is more "professional" wallet too but i think not much people use it !

You are correct, but at first a newbie in the world of bitcoin probably is going to care more about convenience than security when trying to open their first wallet, and that is why I think web wallets are probably the most popular of all the wallets, if you want security a hardware wallet or a paper wallet seems like the best choice.

The type of wallet I use most often is Coinbase. Actually, I did not use a Coinbase purse right from when begin that I used Blockchain. Due to Blockchain transaction fees being too high, I switched to Coinbase. It is quite easy to use, the transaction costs are quite low and does not seem to have. However, at present, its transaction speed is quite slow and security is not good. I am intending to switch to a desktop purse like the Electrum, I heard that it is quite good and security is good. Electrum also has a version for the phone. In the future, I will use the Electrum purse to make it safer :D

web wallets are good for newbies but when you have live in the Bitcoin world long enough, you will realize how stupid and awful it can be. many of my friends have lost money and Bitcoin from Coinbase and they never want to return to it anymore. Moreover, Coinbase like to hold transactions and do not send it immediately. Therefore, it will cause a lot of troubles to users when they need to send fund urgently

to me i personally use web wallet, i am most using yobit and blockchain wallet, there are so many other online wallet like xapo but as i am also doing trading in yobit exchange therefore yobit account is more reliable for me.

Multibit, and I have blockchain, and I have even xapo cause they still don`t have fee`s, but its just for fun and satoshis that I still collecting from several faucets just for fun. I think there is no everyone here have couple wallets, for keeping, everyday use, or some special wallets for special purposes, when you think about it there is similar number of desktop and web wallets, cause of that fact, everyone have both of them, and all the newbies use online wallet, so maybe there more online wallets, but that is just guessing.

There are two types of wallets, there are cold wallets which is offline and online po. Ginamit KO ngayon ay ang mycelium wallet which is cold in my android device. I used also online wallets but for cashout only. I choose mycelium as the one of the best of them all because it was the most secured wallet. It is also good to use pc on wallets because it has a big screen and I am compatible to use pc but I didn't have pc.

I see that the most popular purse is blockchain. I also use it. And I do not even want to try other wallets. I am completely satisfied with this

Coinbase as online mobile wallet and then multibit us sitting right on my desktop. I once used xapo but not anymore.

for me I used coins.ph wallet because it is preferable for me here in my country Philippines.
I also used blockchain wallet and all these wallet are online wallet. I don't used desktop wallet due to some issues.

In terms of security desktop wallet is better than the web wallets. The reason is that placing our funds in a web wallet is same as that being in the hands of a third party. With desktop we have the access, but ease of accessing is possible through web wallets.

I have multiple bitcoin wallet and the best for me is our local bitcoin wallet which has lot of things can do, and we can used it as business like remittance center and bills payment. And some bitcoin address i used it to received income from gambling and other source of income in bitcoin then i will transfer it in my local bitcoin wallet.

I used mobile cause its more convinient and i can access my wallet anywhere i go.
But choosing whats the best wallet is difficult been using coinbase before without fees but now im disappointed. So i decided to use and leave coinbase.

blockchain.info is the only wallet i trust.  coinbase is not bad but i suspect coinbase can be the next paypal...close your account,or hold your fund

yes that is right to say,  i also personally using web wallet that is more convenient for me to use it.  personally using it for a long long time and i think those people who are very new here they really start from online web that is really easy to create, that is also very easy to access,  think it is really very comfortable to use.

Any reasons you stop using XAPO wallet? Because I'm using this wallet for last three years and so far it is quite good and most of the transactions are quite fast and no need pay the fee for sending money. XAPO is good for a daily transaction but longer term saving your coins you can store in some offline wallets.

I have used multibit since long time ago, And I never get a problem with it, the feature to put a custom transaction fees is really helped for every one in this time to make fast transaction. Xapo is really bad and I get a lot of problem with them.

Yes, I do use web wallet (with the mobile app too) for my transactions. I am thinking to try desktop wallet or trezor wallet soon but not sure if it would give a better experience. As I don't have many transactions in short frequency, I think it is fine to go with web wallets for higher amount transactions.

I think the most used bitcoin wallet is blockchain. Actually there are many bitcoins wallet out there, offline and online wallets. For mobile, i never try bitcoin wallet for mobile, maybe other people know it.

I would like to say you can use this two wallet and thats is very safe to use you can store your bitcoin any amount. Try use blockchain this wallet have 2fa and thats good because if someone try to open your account you notice bia email or gmail. You can use also coinbase this wallet for me is very safe because they have permission that you sent to your email before you login or open your account and this wallet have vault you can store your bitcoin to the vault to more safier.

I am using coinbase and its very good and safest wallet but from few weeks ago they added fee on every transaction that's why I start using capo someone suggested me to use be cause they don't have fee on transaction and it's also very good and safe so I recommend xapo

Both wallets on pc and mobile are both useful and will help you alot its just up to you on how you will use it properly.But i recommend wallets like xapo and blockchain in terms of security features

people often make a mistake when using mobile wallet so it's better to stick on desktop wallet. i don't recommend blockchain because it has so many bad reviews and currently blockchain users got their transaction stuck, however, offline wallet is better than online.

There are lot of wallet in online like coinbase, blockchain and many more. Using bitcoin wallet will help you to secure all your bitcoin and you can use your wallet in any kind of transaction like paying bills, buying items in online market and many more.

Now xapo update their wallet and theres already a selfie for additional security and that was good to the users make their money secured.
I think that is one of the good wallet for now. But still i pick our local bitcoin wallet which is coins.ph great security and features.

With a continuous breeze blowing the trends from desktop to mobile, wallets are no difference. Most of the users including me of BitcoinTalk forum access it via mobile. Also there are many nice wallets available for mobile which are much better to use than desktop ones.

Hey dude. Dont be a liar. You dYou do not use XAPO anymore. Xapo's users have to pay the fee for more than 3 months and you keep acting like you are the veteran user in XAPO. Stop lying.

I also used web wallet. I have read some topics here that they lost there wallet because they install it in there personal computer. they suddenly upgrade the OS and forgot to backup and then gone by the wind.

There are many type of wallet that you can use. But me, im using coins.ph and blockchain.info right now as my wallet. :)

well you just have to look at which wallet has the most good rating where you downloaded it. I searched for a wallet ti use in play store and I ended up downloading blockchain and I'm pretty satisfied as i've been using it for almost a year now

Yes, there are many wallets that you can use. Right now. i used blockchain.info and coins.ph as my wallet.

I also use the purse blockchain.info. I like it because there is nothing superfluous there. It is very easy to use and even a child can use it

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1747098.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1747098.0) Blockchain.info is having a lot of issues recently, this wallet was removed from 'good wallets list'
on bitcoin.org - you will be more safe and happy with Electrum or Multibit (both SPV desktop wallets) or even Xapo or Conbase (if you are fine with restrictive ToS).

Use bitcoin core wallet, but it requires more than 110 GB space.

Downloading bitcoin core wallet is not a good idea because there is a lot of desktop wallet that is available and doesn't require too much space like the Mycelium which i used for a bit long and it is very comfortable to use and you can secure your money or bitcoins there by having a back up for your private key and you don't need to worry about your funds anymore.

today they have a new announcement, they are now going to get transaction fee on sending bitcoin to other types of wallet. they are arguing that they are not going to get the tax but it will be use for the making the transaction process more faster, i think n next few days the result about this will become more clear.

I certainly do not really understand anything in this matter and I hope to support users, but it seems to me that the information about the best Bitcoin wallet already sounded, It's the one on the desktop or on a flash drive. Maybe I'm wrong in some way Or is it like this?

You're mostly right. Since having a wallet on a desktop or USB gives you complete control over what you're trying to do and how to keep it secure, it is definitely one of the best things you can do.

As for what wallet you should use, it depends on the space and time available but Multibit is ok for small amounts of Bitcoin, however something like electrum would be good for a very secure desktop wallet, in my experience.

Well this was about to happen one day. The transaction fee is increased a lot more and i dont think XAPO or any other company now can afford to bear the TX fee. Coinbase has already started taking the fee from users too and now i think no service exists which offer free tx fee.
Most of the people dont like the descion of XAPO but comon, XAPO has provided us the free service for quite a lot time and now its just out of their expenses to continue to do to.

xapo now charge fee for every transaction is very unfortunate indeed no more service without fee and perhaps with their decision there will be many of xapo users start to leave it.

I dont know what wallet this day that has no fees in every transactions. Been a coinbase and xapo user before cause they dont have fees , until one day both of them has already fees .so disappointing.

Ive been using coins.ph online wallet for years and Im sad that they added a transaction fee in sending bitcoins to external wallet like blockchain , xapo and coinbase. For now I transferred my bitcoin into blockchain and start using it as my main wallet.

I recommend Electrum, is more lightweight because it doesn't download the full blockchain. Many people think that Electrum is perfect for a beginner in Bitcoin 

All of the wallet will take the fees to deliver your transaction or your transaction gets stuck on the bitcoin network. In this day you must pay worth $2 for every transaction which really expensive in my mind.
There is no a wallet without fees in this day,

I would much prefer on moblile wallet because it is easy to use and yet, it is more convinient. You could use your mobile wallet everywhere you are besides you could convert your bitcoin anytime especially on my country you could easily convert your btc if you have coin.ph wallet. This wallet have a lot of features.

Well as I can see on whihc among the wallet for bitcoin is being useful as well, I think it is electrum wallet for desktop, and multibit hd, Then if you are using mobile phone mycelium is the use for it and also the coinomi and bitpay, and electrum wallet too. ;)

which is most used? i think the mobile cause the number of people who have mobile compare to the number of people who have desktop is greater. so most used is the mobile bitcoin wallet. for me it is more convenient to carry around with your electronic wallet, can easily access anywhere you are.

XAPO made a big mistake that started to charge for transfers. I'm sure they have seriously reduced the number of customers. Now a lot of people tend not to spend their bitcoins and they could try to make money to keep the service free.

I think wallets on mobile app or mobile webpage is being use more frequent than desktop wallets online now.Since all people cant afford to buy a laptop or desktop for them to use most peoplw use mobile android and ios gadgets

I don't like to use the mobile application. It is very inconvenient. The app on my PC much easier. I am sure that everyone will have a mobile app in order to be able to make purchases anywhere. I hope the programmers will work on ease of use.

There are app for blockchain you can used that for me blockchain is the most safest bitcoin wallet so far but if you had bitcoin wallet that available from your country then use that one less fee and hassle free you can withdraw your coins anytime you want like here in my country.

I'd say Coinbase is the most popular mobile wallet but I personally use bitWallet on my iPhone  :)

but now everybody run away from her i guess the best now is coinpayment espacially for who trading ;)

I am enjoying coinbase. It is user friendly and can be used on both platforms desktop as well as phones. Most advantageous thing about it is, it asks you only for email verification each time you logging. This is important when it comes to time limit. On other hand there are many wallets which asks you for your private key or keystone to access your bitcoin address which makes it very difficult to logging fast. So you can choose your wallet personally as per your need. There are plenty of them out there.

Used too much of the trading websites now. Because of the different movements in different coins that I invested it is like almost all my funds are out and there is just a little left with my online wallets.  ;D
If this continues I might be risking a lot of coins, well it is better than profiting nothing waiting for a larger price. Besides, it is the same at those trading sites.

Coinbase looks good, but if you have ex Russian IP address they don't allow you to buy / sell anything. It's strange, because Bitcoin status in Russia is the same as in USA or Germany. Some other countries are also affected - https://www.coinbase.com/global?locale=en

Well it seems really hard to determine which type of wallet is the most used probably some people are using two different types at the same time especially those who are holding a huge amount of bitcoin while having some amount ready for spending and some people are only using mobile wallet which is ready for any transactions . In my situation since I am not a big time bitcoin user or holding such huge amount of bitcoin I am using mobile wallet for android which can already provide some services that can be paid either by using my local currency or by bitcoin .

I use electrum wallet for pc and use the blockchain for my mobile. They're great and i haven't face any problem until now. You can always search in the google and find one who suits you well though, goodluck!

I think most used bitcoin wallet is the blockchain wallet and coinbase... anyway no matter what wallet may it be as long as they are applicable to recieve pay out its ok...:)

It looks strange for me. The latest news has told me if russia will try to make a legal statue for the bitcoin.  But too many verification on coinbase, that makes so complicated to use coinbase in this time and especially they're included on the third party. It's not good for everyone to keep his money on there.

Mobile wallet is my choice because i can bring it anywhere i want, easy to use BTC  :D

Never heard of this purse. I use the traditional blockchain.info . But I've already heard that there are more convenient services. Need to try

I am currently tired with stuck transaction on blockchain.info and am all ears to anyone who can please suggest another wallet that wont take forever to confirm a transaction.

I like XAPO. It was free but is now starting to charge for transfers. Transfers are much faster than the blockchain.

It really depends on who and where are you asking from. Because right now I know for a fact that some Local Bitcoin Wallet Providers are more popular than the international ones like Coinbase. Some Local Providers have more advantages like in-app Bitcoin Conversion from Buying to Selling and Using Bitcoin as a way to pay utility bills. You might have several answers with your question. Also mostly wallet providers have app version of their wallets in which you can use in your mobile phone.

The same thing I also do that is using mobile wallet, because it is simple and still quite safe in its use

Everyday I am getting frustrated with blockchain.info . So slow of confirming my transfer yet they charge high . It has been 3 days there is not a single confirmation being done (0/3). I am moving to a better BTC wallet service.

i am having this experience in the past and from that, i am moving into another btc wallet service and now i think i am comfort to stay with market exchange like polo, bittrex before i send it into my personal wallet like jaxx, mycelium, coinomi, and else. i am too confusing with the interface from blockchain.info itself and this is why i am moving with the other.

Have you tried to identifying your transaction. Or try to use accelerator to make your transaction gets confirmed. Can you give your TXID? I may think if you can try CPFP method. it will make you pay higher fees for the second transaction and make your the first gets confirmed for automatically.

I dont have problem using blockchain my transaction confirmed fast im waiting obly 1-2 hours . But in other wallet I have problen even my transaction fee is high but I only wait 5 hours like today . I use bitcoin accesslerator you can use this also you need only transaction ID and do somecaptcha and then done. It is really work i dont know why other people say bitcoin accessletor is not rue but for me its is very useful to those people have experienced like you.  You can try another wallet if you are not satisfied with the their service if you want but for me I will suggest to use blockchain. I think also why bitcoin not yet confirmed because the price is very high .

I too was using blockchain.info for long time. Haven't encountered any flaws and the confirmation too is quite fast if you go with the auto fee option. And when manual fee is placed, based on what's provided the confirmation takes place.

The most secure wallets are the ones that are offline. Although some online wallets are also secure but you should be careful in choosing one. Some online wallets had manipulated by third parties so your bitcoin is not really safe, one of those is coinbase.
In the other hand, when using offline wallets try the electrum, it is a desktop wallet. So from the word itself, " offline ", nobody will be able to tract or hack your account. It can be downloaded to your pc, phone or tablet.

Bitcoin core is definitely my favorite and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a Bitcoin wallet.

Well, it is the ease in the bitcoin is we can save in mobile. So that we can make transactions wherever, as long as we still have internet network. Just wait until we can find out and get many advantages in excellence, but it is bitcoin it still takes a lot of time so that now we have to focus on getting the bitcoin.Be a person with high spirit and perseverance in getting something beneficial. For now this will surely increase bitcoin and gives many advantages to all those who want to keep it
 

Yes, the wallet will be installed on a computer, I use bitcoin core on offline wallet. It is an extremely safe way to store bitcoin.

I personally use the electrum desktop wallet for my storage of bitcoin. It's extremely lightweight and is pretty solid. I wouldn't store too much bitcoin on your phone, the popular wallet Jaxx has been hacked and users have lost over 400K worth of cryptocurrency. So your best options are electrum or a solid hardware wallet. A physical wallet is always the better option if you're going to store a lot of bitcoin on a wallet.

I prefer to use Electrum and some online wallets like xapo and wirex but recently the transaction time and  fees have become unacceptable. There is also Cryptopay and Coinsbank and an upcoming Bonpay wallet.

There are many online wallets that you can use to keep your bitcoin safe and secure. Once the people buy or get a bitcoin they would find a thing that they can use to keep it in a long time. Some people use online and offline wallet to store their bitcoin; however the best wallet for me is online wallet because I think this will keep my bitcoin safe and totally secure.

I use blockchain and coinbase wallet and this two wallet is safe to use. Easy to use.  I dont try electrum wallet even people said it is good to usr. But for me its better to use blockchain and coinase .you what tyoe of wallet you use?

Ok so you rely on web wallets. Even I to cater my daily transactions need use web wallets. Its much easy to handle web wallets as one need not worry about pvt keys, etc., simply remember email and password and use your Bitcoin.
Ok, your above is suspicious. In real sense Bitcoins are not yours. You just represent Bitcoins own by company and if company decides to run off, you can't do anything except repenting. So such risk is always there.

I support your explanation and Electrum desktop wallet such a good option for storage of bitcoin. Mostly, If you are dealing with large amounts of bitcoins you will need a secure wallet. But if you are dealing very less amounts, especially the initial step of buying your first bitcoin, you are allowed use such of online wallet.

I also use online wallet. one is from block chain and second is from yobit. to me I think people are using more that 2 online wallet for security reason, specially those people who have a good amount of bitcoin. in fact putting a lot of bitcoin in one wallet is more risky there are always chances of hacking your wallet therefore if the amount is distributed in different wallet then it is more safe through this way.

Its always better to use multiple wallets when you have more btc in store. Else you can also try to use offline wallet and get store in case you own many btc just for safety reasons.

I am using Xapo wallets and WebMoney. I find it easier to use them. No one is immune from hacking. Then it is possible to lose all of their money. This is probably the main danger of electronic money. Anonymity of payments is not always good.

A company is always targeted for hacking, an individual is not unless he have some high level hackers as enemies, that's why you should store your funds by yourself using a Desktop/Hardware wallets or paper wallets for long term. Xapo can easily claim that they got hacked and you will lose your funds and there is nothing you could do about it.

Well, there are many users use online wallet to keep their bitcoin. Furthermore, using bitcoin wallet will keep your bitcoin safe and secure and no one will try to stealth it.Some bitcoin users use the online wallet. However, there are still people who use the cold storage also hardware wallet that you need to install in your laptop or computer.

Blockchain is by far the most used bitcoin wallet, but the tide is shifting mainly due to their high transaction fee and their recently disabling the ability to send bitcoins to lots of people will make them lose customers.

I also use this purse. I like it because it's very easy to use. There is nothing superfluous about it.
And despite the fact that I heard a lot of good reviews about other wallets, I do not want to change it

Im disagree. How do you say the Blockchain is far the most used bitcoin wallet? Any kind of things to support your claims? I don't see that majority here is using blockchain. And about transaction fee, almost all wallets are having a high transaction fees right now so kinda non reasonable if that is the problem.

With massive demands of bitcoin today, we are having higher fees and wallets have nothing to do with that. And what is the point disabling sending multiple payments for customers to leave a wallet? Really a lol thing you got there.

I so understood that this means that you have this on this issue no one has yet given and probably will not. And everyone does not give rest What kind of friends are their Bitcoin wallet or there are other opportunities in other resources. But still you need to find a middle ground.

I agree with you. For huge amount you should store it in some offline wallets like desktop/hardware wallets, it's safe and trusted. It also acts as cold storage. Try electrum and see it for yourself. It's the least you can do than feel sorry. Hackers are everywhere and ready to eat you if have a chance. So you better watch out what your using.

Thats right dude, if i could vote i prefer blockchain in a few years back. Because the display is more lightweight, easier to use, low fee, and certainly can do bitcoin sending in many addresses. While current. The function is gone

Blockchain is good for web wallet but the fee is become bigger nowdays, it's good for you that won't wait and want easy to use bitcoin. If you won't pay the big fee for each transaction you can use bitcoin core wallet, but you need to wait until the wallet sync first.

Blockchain takes a lot of time just for 5 blocks. I would rather use electrum which also have an android application.
That is the good part within its services. I dont need my laptop or my computer. It is all synchronized with my android app.
I can use it wherever I go. It is a must try service for all of us. Security is also great.

I prefer a wallet website, because with a wallet website I can make transactions easily. Bitcoin wallet website provides convenience because of its mobile so I can do transactions wherever and whenever. Practicality and ease is my goal of using bitcoin.

Actually you need to expand your question because in this world multiple types of the people are existing , so using different different type of wallets for different different platforms .
I personally uses blockchain.info for the mobile , pc web also because blockchain.info is really a cool wallet with which we can send our Bitcoin with the custom fee . And also available at the Android , and also have the import and export any numbers of the Bitcoin address and have no limit to create Waller's with single email id .
And also no one can reset the password and also a options of the secondary password .
But besides of this official wallet you can try mysellium wallet and core wallet also ( Bitcoin core ) but after create the wallet export your private key and put at the safe place .

Online wallets or other desktop wallet we can use any kind of wallet. As of now, we are facing issue in transaction fees only in the wallet. For security reason, we can prefer bitcoin core, multibit or xapo. Enable two factor authentication for secure transactions.

That's the weakness, the increasing transaction costs make it all hampered. Many people are considering that shipping costs are quite expensive. It is actually all inexpensive, but nowadays there are frequent delivery delays, so increasing the fee is the best way to send every transaction. For security issues I am sure all wallets must have good security, most important is we always keep our personal account safely.

Yes true, besides the wallet blockchain also highly trusted users also had a lot of bitcoin using bitcoin wallet. bitcoin can also be accessed via the android in order to simplify transactions for checks and easy also to receive and send the transaction. so it will be easy to carry anywhere and can see the needed information at any time. with this application will make the user comfortable bitcoin wallet, namely blockchain.

online wallet can be option for us to save bitcoin but for me, i don't recommend to save all of our bitcoin in that site because we don't want to have experience like what happen with Mt.Gox. so i suggest to use desktop wallet or android phone wallet to save our bitcoin and i think its more safety than we use online wallet.

To be honest I had to create an online Bitcoin wallet, because having a Bitcoin wallet application, I'm not sure that it will work adequately. Something I can not understand how well applications run on different operating systems. But online wallet on a certain site I am more or less satisfied. There are only risks that I worry about.

If you really worry about the risk why not use the blockchain web wallet? I think blockchain web wallet is one of the safest wallet to store many bitcoin online and one of the most trusted. Even if that is the case it is safer to use wallet applications sometimes where you have complete control over your private keys but for now understand how they work or run on different operating systems.

Yes I agree with that.
I use both online and offline wallets. Online wallet for my everyday transaction and offline wallet for my savings.
Its better you do as savings account the offline wallets, not prone to hackers and other evil doings.
It also a backup one. Same as you, I love using electrum. Others should try it too.

mobile bitcoin wallet because mobile wallet is u can withdraw any where when you dont have money and shopping if you like desktop is stable for home so when you are in the park you can get a money in your bitcoin wallet not like mobile.

Blockchain for mobile and multibit for desktop .

There is nothing wrong in using the mobile Bitcoin wallets for small trade and purchases. But I wouldn't recommend storing significant amounts of coins in such wallets for long duration (especially if the mobile operating system is Android). As per my understanding, mobile wallets are some of the least secure storage for Bitcoin out there.

I believe that the most Bitcoin wallet being used is a mobile one. This is because mobile is much more portable than desktop. Well there are laptops out there that are highly portable but mobiles are far too portable that laptops. We can even fit a phone inside a pocket so a mobile wallet is more practical as a Bitcoin wallet that desktop wallets.

Yeah no wonder there are many users who migrate from blockchain to other wallets. Because they do not find comfort as when used to use blockchain. Fees are getting higher, even now the function to send bitcoin to many addresses is gone, of course it will make the user go

If you are talking about blockchain web wallet then even the fees is  not that high, you should migrate to another wallet because that wallet is risky because of the things that might happen like a massive hack attempt that can be successful and steal all the bitcoins there so it is best to use other wallet which is a lot safer like mobile or desktop wallets and if you have money then buy hardware wallets and if you want to store for a long time but you want to save money at the same time then print paper wallet.

I always use Mobile Wallet. Sometimes, I use desktop wallet too. And, I think that most of the people are using Mobile Wallet. Because every man has a smartphone and internet connection.

I use coins.ph for short time storage; hard ledger for long term. both of em are accessible via web or mobile. i personally do not recommend btc-wallet apps.

I use coinbase and blochchain wallet with mobile. you can use this wallet cause its give eassly transfer.

If you want use Bitcoin have all permission about security, privacy and can keep Private Key, you need know use Bitcoin PC Wallet App, as Bitcoin Core (app wallet need sync blockchain), Electrum (light wallet not need sync blockchain)

Well i don't know which wallet is mostly used, but i am currently using blockchain in my android and also in laptop. Coinbase wallet is also one of the most popular wallets of bitcoins.

yes there are many mobile wallet that you can used. When choosing a bitcoin wallet. make sure first that it was safe and secure where your bitcoin will not affect. Also choose what is best and appropriate to your country where you live. Like here in philippines, coins.ph is the best wallet for every filipino because you can convert your bitcoin into fiat currency in the philippines. But most popular wallets were blockchain.info and coinbase

Disagree here where did you get that information? You will just noticed that there are many users on Philippines using coins.ph but not as their main wallet. No doubt that withdrawals and converting to cash using their service is hassle free but to the point that many people here will treat that as their main wallet, I see no.

Look outside of the window and you will see what I mean here. You are surrounded by coins.ph user and try to tell them if that is their main wallet.

i myself using online wallet which is in fact very easy to use, for security reason i think you have the choice to use more than one wallet and distribute your all bitcoin in different places.

I think the most used is desktop bitcoin wallet and next is the web wallets. Most of the new bitcoin people are into web wallets because they find convenience for it and that's giving them a lot of time to save for transacting or sending it to their main wallet. But when it comes to security desktop wallet is better.

Online wallet is the most widely used by many people. Because it is fast and not complicated. I myself use online wallet for transactions

I'm convinced that using several Bitcoin wallets gives a very effective effect. Imran desktop purse can be used for storage, and for more active actions you need to use a web purse. For the sake of safety, you do not need to think about the percentages on a transaction.

I have not yet used any mobile wallet.So i have no idea about that.But i normally use Electrum wallet in my laptop which is very user friendly and most secure.I am using it for the past two years.Until now no issues.

It's up to you if you want to use several bitcoin wallets, when we talk about safety there's no other wallets that are safe because you hold the private keys and that is the desktop wallets. Even it's going to be offline, you have your bitcoins unlike in web wallets you don't have control on the private keys or the seed.

That personally has not yet decided on the Bitcoin wallet, but I will be very grateful to all forum users who can tell about the current balls. The fact is that to date I was advised a multi-purse coinomi

Im using mobile wallet cause i can bring it wherever i go. I can buy altcoins without opening my desktop.
Im using xapo,blockchain, and our lical wallet coins.ph app.

Of course the most sought after by bitcoin users is the ease of use and flexible can be used anywhere. By using online wallet then all they want above can be got. I also use online wallet moreover its online wallet is also quite safe

if you want to try mobile wallet, i suggest you can used mycelium, coinomi, or jaxx. i don't have any problem with mycelium, coinomi but for jaxx, i think the wallet is a little bit slow for loading the interface but its one of recommended wallet for android phone. i am agree with electrum and i don't have any problem too.

I just used blockchain and Coins.ph a mobile app wherein have lots of feature for more convenient transactions. It is designed for Filipino needs. Though now I have lots of installed wallet app for ico and bounty usage.

I heard that coins.ph from my filipino friend and he said that it is a good wallet for bitcoin and it is just like coinbase which offers fiat deposit and also withdrawals directly to the bank with a verification required. I am using electrum for bitcoin storage because it is safer than blockchain web wallet because of the possible attacks that may occur because of the volume of bitcoin and users there.

I haven't used coinomi but I have read that there are some users of that wallet here in forum. But it's always better to hold your private keys just remember that when you want to have control on your bitcoins. Bitcoin core, electrum and there are some more that's are good to use.

I just use web wallet and desktop wallet, I just use a wallet that has been used by many bitcoin users ie blockchain for web wallets and electrum for desktop wallet.

For security of course you can use additional security like authentication: sms authy, google authy, etc. With that then the online wallet you use will be very safe and I've been an online wallet user since a few years ago and I've never had any significant problems

Here in our country, there is a trustable wallet which is the coins.ph. it is easy to use on movile or even desktops. Fast transactions and a lots of option in exchanging bitcoins into a real money. It can also be transfer into another wallet by simply putting their address and with no fees. It can also be converted into a cellphone load or paying bills like electric bills.

Web wallets are easy to use but their security is not the best. Most people use mycelium, it is easy to use and maybe the best mobile wallet, there may be better ones, but I have used a few, it works fine without too much problems. I recommend saving the bulk of your coins on a desktop wallet application downloaded to your computer, for safe keeping. Like armory, bitcoin core, electrum, multiBit HD, then transfer a fraction to online or mobile wallets for ease of use.

And what kind of wallet can not only save Bitcoin, but also exchange Bitcoin for dollars while displaying a bank card? I think this is a very topical topic And I would like to have such opportunities.

bicoin is the most secured and safe currency that will never lel you go for loss. bitcoin should be secured and safe mostly it has been kept in wallets online or it some others wallets that are available in markets like block chain and treason

Theres no exact answer here since theres no statistics regarding on usage of both Desktop and Mobile and we cant compare them since there are lots of bitcoin users do make use on both things.This would really depend on users preference because some do like on making easy transfers which is really suitable on mobile wallet because of its accuracy and hassle free transactions but when we do speak about security of our bitcoin then Desktop wallet would be the best thing to choose.

I'm sure the most used wallet is the web wallet that is blockchain.info because usually new people know and just join using bitcoin they must use blockchain.info as their wallet.

Yes you are right bitcoin is a digital currency and it is totally depends on online work for bitcoin there are some wallets like treason and coin base it is proper way to keep your bitcoin save paper wallet and online wallets are also good in this regard.

Smartphone wallet it’s are very simple and easy to use Blockchain or Coinbase . Because they alertly update for mobile version. If you want you can use desktop wallet also

I am a new person in bitcoin. So I still use my wallet from many people who wear. For the moment I am using my web wallet. Maybe later i will use another wallet. But I need to know also to what extent security can I get in using another wallet. Of course I need to find accurate information. Of course you do not want the btc you have will just disappear. Therefore we must be more careful in choosing the wallet to save the btc we have. For the moment I choose a wallet that gives ease in transferring money to my account number. Because I have not tried to hold back the btc I have in a long time. For now there are still a lot of payments that I need to spend. So if I have a btc in my wallet not too long to save

Google can help you. There are already lots of useful information about bitcoin wallet on the internet.

If you are eager to learned, the first thing you will do is to seek information by yourself. To give you some insights about your concern, storing bitcoins on web wallet is out of your control but it doesn't mean that you don't have to used them. But since you are doing regular withdrawals, then web exchange is fit for that needs. Just don't used them for now until "the current drama" ends.

Many can you used as a bitcoin wallet you can use mobile or desktop wallet me i used electrum to stored my bitcoin. And you can even search what is most used it here in bitcointalk. And search for what is the best for you.

Because blockchain is so popular, blockchain users are huge and many of them also advise new users to use blockchain wallets. Then this continues for many years so in the eyes of new users the blockchain wallet is the best. But there are many other wallets

Blockchain has grown a lot over the past few years. They’ve been support to the bitcoin community and making improvements.

that is right, electrum is the one of example, the other android wallet you can use is mycelium, jaxx, coinomi, coinpayment with supporting for multi wallet. using wallet for desktop is good too as you can use it directly in your computer or laptop. but remember, you need to always keep your private keys save from other people to prevent the bad thing that might be happen.

First the user prefers the online wallet because it is more flexible, then the most widely used and the very first there is blockchain. So many people prefer to use blockchain. But by the end of this there are many blockchain users who came out because of its policies like removing the facility to send to many addresses

Me i used multiple bitcoin wallet to received my income in multiple earning method here in bitcoin byt i have 1 bitcoin wallet which i used to store my bitcoin and used to spend in buying things and foods. All wallet has different transaction fees you can choose the smallest fee to make buy and sell of bitcoin.

I think it depends upon the person to person that what are the requirements he has .
Here my most of friends like the desktop version of the blockchain and also they like to use Bitcoin core because they can send multiple address at once selection easily , so they like much than any other wallet .
Beside of these wallets I like the mobile app version of the blockchain app and usually use for the transaction where I need to send the Bitcoin with very low fee ( custom fee option ) .
I am asking using the mysellium wallet which have the quality of the import and export and easily create new address , so mostly I am using for normal transaction ( for professional purpose ) is mysellium .

What I used now was Electrum you can download it into your desktop and also in android phone. We also have multibit. hd is one of the good one also. Here is the link of the best bitcoin wallet which you can use it http://atozforex.com/news/top-10-bitcoin-wallets-2017/

I like mobile cause it all time near with me but not desktop.

I think I have read one user here who said multibit will be losing its support for I dont know where.
But he had transferred his private keys to electrum now.
I prefer Electrum with android and windows supported. It makes everything convenient and I feel more safer there.

Definitely electrum is the one for me.
Been using this and so far I didn't get any problems using this.
You can also try coinomi as mobile wallet, its a multi signature wallet. This is a must try.

For me, I used both an online service Blockchain.info and Offline wallet called Trezor wallet.

i think the ledger nano s is the best ,i have been used it for almost two years ,never lost any bitcoin ,and  it can use litcoin ,zcash ,eth  and so on . buy one ,keep your coins in your hard wallet.

I also used different wallets for storage. We know that there is a particular wallet which is asked in campaigns. For example is waves and eth, different wallets for certain purposes. But I have a main wallet where most of my income is stored and this is where I mostly withdraw funds when I needed money. A friend recommend other wallets for safer keeping of money or bitcoin.

I didn't get it. What do you mean? the best of each, or what do I prefer - mobile or desktop?
Well, I dont know much about btc wallets coz coins.ph is the only wallet I use. It's the most used and trusted here in the philippines. You can download the app in mobile and access the site via desktop as well.

Online wallet because it have a desktop and a phone wallet and it is efficient to use because you will just need to connect to the internet and after that you will access you bitcoin wallet. But for me in terms of category I will choose the phone because it is the one that I am always using because it is more convenient for me.

For dealing with coins and for their storage yes electrum is one of the favorable wallet recommended so far. It is quite easy and make your saving safe. Good thing is not complicated at all. And yes there is another wallet for safe and secure storage, trezor, after a friend's suggestion, I start using it. So far so good.

I did notice most of the people here are using only one wallet at a time. But my strong recommendation will be, store your bitcoins in more than one wallet. It is applicable to both web wallet and stand-alone wallet users too.

Yeah syncing is nice to have. But it is also super unsecure. This means that hackers can hack your account especially if you use the same passwords over and over again. Second thing to worry about is that you do not control the private keys of your wallet, hence there is chance your online wallet is the one that got hacked and gets the private keys of their wallets hence your account is at risk.

I have a Ledger Nano S and have been happy with it so far. It was super user friendly to set up and user friendly during the fork.

I bought it in the first place because it was well-endorsed and it has worked well for me so far.

But as has been said before, and will be said, again and again:

MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP AND SECURE YOUR RECOVERY PHRASE

With the Ledger Nano S you cannot miss this. It is the piece of paper that says, fittingly, Recovery Phrase.

Having this is the most important thing. If you lose or break your Ledger Nano S then you just get a new one and use the recovery phrase.

So make sure you store the paper with the recovery phrase on it in a safe place (or better yet, make a second copy and store that elsewhere too).

That doesn't matter whether it has phone and desktop access what matter is security of you wallet and ease of access to your personal life. Wallets are important because they hold your money and they are very important when they hold very big amount of money.

I'm always using wallets for which I hold the private keys, without private keys no one can access the wallet and not even the service provider. This reduces the risk of loosing your money due to idiotic hackers and Trojans obviously. They are every where and security is first concern that must be checked while choosing the wallet, and not the phone app or desktop app.

I have no idea which wallet is most used, but it would probably be a desktop wallet like electrum. Both electrum and Bitcoin core is widely used. Moreover, other wallets like online wallets are also widely used, Mainly for convenience. However, in truth, such a wallet is not known for its security. If you are looking for a good wallet, I would suggest that you use electrum. Electrum is an amazing option. Unlike Bitcoin core, you don’t need to dedicate your entire desktop space for your wallet. It is a secure option that is widely utilised by many people. I use it myself and I would completely endorse it.

There are a lot of different types of Bitcoin Wallet that are recommended to be used in bitcoin, now it is up to you what wallet you would prefer among the others. But first, what is a Bitcoin Wallet?

Bitcoin wallets contain private keys; secret codes that allow you to spend your bitcoins. In reality, it’s not bitcoins that need to be stored and secured, but the private keys that give you access to them. In short: A Bitcoin wallet is simply an app, website, or device that manages Bitcoin private keys for you.
 
Now, here are some types of Bitcoin Wallet and the recommended wallets under these types:

1. HARDWARE WALLET
A hardware wallet is a physical electronic device, built for the sole purpose of securing bitcoins. The core innovation is that the hardware wallet must be connected to your computer, phone, or tablet before bitcoins may be spent. The three most popular and best Bitcoin hardware wallets are: Ledger Nano S, KeepKey, Trezor. Hardware wallets are a good choice if you’re serious about security and convenient, reliable Bitcoin storage.Bitcoin hardware wallets keep private keys separate from vulnerable, internet-connected devices. Your all-important private keys are maintained in a secure offline environment on the hardware wallet, fully protected even should the device be plugged into a malware-infected computer. Hardware wallets are secure, offline devices. They store your private keys offline so they can't be hacked. This means you can even use one on a malware infected computer. Hardware wallets aren't free. But the price can be worth it if you own a significant amount of bitcoins. A hardware wallet will protect a few hundred in Bitcoin just as effectively as a few million.

• Ledger Nano S 
The Ledger Nano S is the cheapest of the three hardware wallets with a screen; it costs about $65. Ledger, one of the most well-known Bitcoin security companies, released the device in August 2016.

• TREZOR
TREZOR launched in August 2014 as the first Bitcoin hardware wallet, offering secure bitcoin storage plus the ability to spend with the convenience of a hot wallet. TREZOR is a small, thumb-sized device.

•KeepKey
KeepKey was released in September 2015 and was the second hardware Bitcoin wallet to offer a screen. The KeepKey's larger screen gives it some extra security features that the Nano S and Trezor lack.

•Ledger HW.1
The Ledger HW.1 can be considered a budget hardware wallet. It doesn't have a screen, so it isn't quite as secure as the three options mentioned above. It will, however, give you more security than a hot wallet.

2. HOT WALLETS
Hot wallets are Bitcoin wallets that run on internet connected devices like a computer, mobile phone, or tablet. As hot wallets generate private keys on an internet connected device, these private keys can’t be considered 100% secure.

3. Online Bitcoin Wallets (Web Wallets)
Web wallets store your private keys online, where they are encrypted with a user-selected password. Although they offer the lowest level of security, online bitcoin wallets have the advantage of being accessible from any internet connected device.

•GreenAddress
GreenAddress is a multi-signature Bitcoin wallet available on the web, desktop, Android, and iOS. GreenAddress is compatible with hardware wallets like TREZOR, Ledger Nano, and the HW.1. “Multi-signature” in this context means that the site requires a manual confirmation from you for your coins to be moved; this greatly improves security.

4. Android Bitcoin Wallets
There is a large selection of Android wallets. Since Bitcoin wallets were originally banned by Apple, developers spent much of their time developing for Android.

•Mycelium
Mycelium is the most popular Bitcoin wallet on Android. It's very easy to use for sending and receiving payments. Backing up your wallet is also simple, since Mycelium makes it very clear with setup and backup instructions.

•breadwallet
breadwallet, the great iPhone Bitcoin wallet, recently released an Android wallet. It offers the user control of private keys, an easy to use interface, and passcode support.

•Copay
The Copay Bitcoin wallet is also available for Android. It's easy to use and offers many advanced features that offer great flexibility.

•Airbitz
Airbitz is an easy to use Bitcoin wallet for iPhone and Android. Its familiar login feature makes using the app a breeze for people new to bitcoin. The wallet also creates automatic backups, so you don't have to worry about the technicalities of performing manual wallet backups.

•GreenBits
GreenBits is the native Android version of GreenAddress. It’s a multi-signature wallet that also supports hardware wallets like TREZOR and Ledger.

•Bitcoin Wallet
Bitcoin Wallet, or “Schildbach Wallet”, was the first mobile Bitcoin wallet. Bitcoin Wallet is more secure than most mobile Bitcoin wallets, because it connects directly to the Bitcoin network. Bitcoin Wallet has a simple interface and just the right amount of features, making it a great wallet and a great educational tool for Bitcoin beginners.

5. iOS and iPhone Bitcoin Wallets
Apple banned Bitcoin wallets from the App Store in February 2014, but reversed its decision a few months later. Luckily, there are now plenty of options for iOS users.

•breadwallet
We consider breadwallet, along with Copay (below), as the best bitcoin wallet for iPhone. It’s open source and gives the user full control over their private keys. It also has a clean interface which makes the sending and receiving of bitcoins a pleasurable and super-simple process.

•Copay
Copay Bitcoin wallet is BitPay's open source wallet. It can be used across multiple devices, since Copay is available for Android, Windows Phone, iOS, and all desktop platforms. Among many other great features, it's easy to create multiple accounts so you can have separate wallets for your business and personal funds.

•Airbitz
Airbitz is an easy to use Bitcoin wallet for iPhone and Android. Its familiar login feature makes using the app a breeze for people new to bitcoin. The wallet also creates automatic backups, so you don't have to worry about the technicalities of performing manual wallet backups.

6. Desktop Wallets
Desktop wallets are downloaded and installed on your computer. If privacy is your main concern, the Bitcoin core wallet is a good option since it does not rely on third parties for data.

•Electrum
Electrum is a light weight Bitcoin wallet for Mac, Linux, and Windows. Electrum was created in November 2011. The main features of Electrum are: support for hardware wallets (such as TREZOR, Ledger Nano and KeepKey), and secure Bitcoin storage using an offline computer. Electrum is a good option for both beginners and advanced users.

•Copay
Last, but not least, Copay is also available on desktop. Its desktop app gives you the ability to manage your hardware wallets, along with all of the other features mentioned above.

As for me, I'm currently using Coins.ph because I am based in the Philippines and so far it is the best, most trusted and easiest Bitcoin Wallet that I can access. Each wallet has pros and cons, and different wallets are built to solve different problems. Some wallets may be geared towards security, while some wallets may be more focused on privacy. Your specific needs should determine the wallet you use, as there is no “best bitcoin wallet”.

p.s
I'm acknowledging the source/sources where I got these informations even though there won't be any citations. Thank you!

I always use a smartphone, for bitcoin wallet because it is a lot of bitcoin exchange applications on a smartphone and can be done anytime easily

In our country mobile bitcoin wallet is very popular, we are currently using coins.ph
It gives us access specially when I'm making online transactions or buying load for my mobile phone.

I use the purse blockchain.info, a very simple and convenient wallet, as well as an application Blockchain on the smartphone. I is very convenient to make transactions through the mobile application, since the smartphone is always at hand.

I don't know what is the most wallet is being used because i am afraid to to try other bitcoin wallets. But i used blockchain and coins.ph that is very famous here in the Philippines both of these wallet can be in the computer and in the smartphone. These wallets is very safe to store your bitcoins and very convenient .

I prefer wallets on desktop sites rather than wallets with mobile sites, I think desktop wallet sites are easier to use, but that depends on every wallet that every user uses, because the choice depends a lot on the convenience.

Transaction making through mobile apps are so easy now. Blockchain is so good in this regard. The convenient it is to deal with transactions and all that stuff. Bitcoin manipulation can be easily made, you could just do anything related to bitcoin while having internet access to your phone only.

I used blockchain and coins.ph that is very popular in the Philippines than it can be used in your desktop and in your mobile, but i always use this two wallets in my mobile phone because i mostly used my mobile phone than my desktop. This two wallet is both popular that's why it is very safe store your bitcoins and very easy to use.

I'm using Electrum.org and Coinbase to contain BTC, with Coinbase we will be charged very high, but I think it's pretty Electrum.org easier for you and transfer fees are also very low, if you think ETH may be used to Myetherwallet

I think mobile phone is the most used and best for bitcoin wallet, because it is easy to use for this, and I think it is the most use of the other user .

Mobile wallets? That’s what I also make use of. Thought I was a different person here lol. Well, most wallets including mobile and computers are safe depending on how you make use of it. You’ve got to choose ones with advanced security, like 2fa. I like how Coinbase made their login– you first have to confirm it through email. Though it’s faulty 90% of the times.

for i like the mobile wallet more than the desktop one because of its easier accessibility. it is convenient to use and secure because of its syncing features which makes your wallet secure enough.

Your best options are Xapo and WebMoney. or wallet hardware. A physical wallet is always a better option if you will store a lot of coins on your wallet. I use an electronic wallet, this wallet is safe to use. Easy to use. I do not try e-wallet even people say it is good to usr. thank you

I am using mobile wallet. Because I usually go bitcoin thru my mobile phone, since I started bitcoin, I do use mobile phone until now. I prefer this because its more convenient for me cause I always bring my phone with me.

Every people has its own way of feeling comfortable and based on you, you are comfortable to put your bitcoin in your mobile wallet because you always bring your phone with you but you need to remember to always have a back up so you can be safe for the possible worst case scenarios and also learn to diversify your funds into different wallets so you cannot lose all of your bitcoin if something goes  wrong with your main wallet.

Mobile wallet is actually dangerous because the platform is brought to various places and you can just automatically enter into a person's wifi network and the person is stealing your data like the incident one of the members on this forum.

Both of them is useful desktop and mobile  for bitcoin wallet,so ive install wallet in my pc and mobile,but everyday wherever i go and in time i joined signature campaign i've always use my mobile wallet  application co'z its so easy and make my transaction fast.

Hello
Well there are certain points that you need to remember before you ask an answer to this question.

1. Mainly the wallet that will work best for you will be the one that will be linked to your bank account and will be able to convert your bitcoins directly to your home currency.

2. For that to happen you must first think about stating your country , because there are certain wallets that works universally but according to me in every country there is a specific designed wallet that works best according to the situation of that country.

3. For example: I use zebpay.
It converts btc directly into ₹ thus am able to redeem all that in my bank account thats linked with it and it roughly costs me only 10₹

4. Also there are many universal bitcoins wallet but then again, cost of transfer in them is preety high, thus You will need to forst recieve payment in your wallet and then shift to your locally accepted one.
So I think you should try and explore your answer according to your country.
Thank you

It depends on the user, so we cannot tell what bitcoin wallet is the most used, and also it depends on the country I guess. Because here in my country, me and my friends used the same wallet online which I think is the most popular online wallet here in my country. It was good because it offers many many things. But it is not important how popular the wallet you are going to used, as long as it is secure and easily accessible, I'm on it.

Blockchain.info wallet is sufficient for me. I use blockchain wallet
for both desktop and mobile wallet.  Its mobile wallet has a very
simple layout that makes you get an overview of all your transactions
at a glance.

for me the best wallet here is ether wallet, so easy for transaction, maybe there are lots also but i usually using this ether for my transactions.

thank you for this very informative comment. now i realize that mobile wallet are dangerous too i thought its the desktop wallet. that's very important to me..  ;)

since we are talking here about wallets, is there any application here for those mobile wallet and desktop? where can we find any links to download those wallet? any ideas please?

The most used wallet is desktop and web wallet but this is just my guess since there is no statistics on how many people and the percentage of people that are using these wallets. But it's popular that people are using the same desktop wallet like electrum, bitcoin core and for the web wallet, the most popular one is blockchain.info and some others are choosing to use hardware wallets for storing their bitcoins.

are those wallets are safe from any kind of viruses? because i heard that some wallets has a virus...what about ether wallet? what kind of wallet is that?

Every hardware is at risk of different viruses and malware as it always depend to the users. Electrum and bitcoin core are solid wallets where you can have no doubts of their security but the thing here is you need to take a look at yourself on how you'll make your wallet safe. Our desktops and laptop's are prone to any virus and harmful software if we will not use it properly. Ether wallet is good for alt coins and it's different from bitcoin wallet.

There are a lot of the wallets in the bitcoin and the n time to time the bitcoin wallets are being a part of the bitcoin, new features are being into the bitcoin, it is safe to use the bitcoin and buy more bitcoin for the sake of eh money. In the past the bitcoin was not so much easy and the bitcoin was not very common as the digital currency so now for me the all thing is the bitcoin and the income of the bitcoin is solving my problems.

Currently blockchain and coinbase is still a trusted wallet, no need to worry because they always do system maintenance with a more complicated level of security when compared with purses that use private key, do not need to worry too much with the web-wallet because the developers always give the best to the user .

Wallets are secure and there will be no major attack of viruses because security algorithms are designed clearly for the user reliability because people are putting their whole saving in it so organization is keen to provide them unbreakable security and yes ether wallets are also good and also secure and riskless to invest and there will be no hacker from deep web who can break them.

The best wallet will depend on your intended use. If you have a lot of Bitcoin, your wallet with your personal information is always the safest method. But online travel is better because you are constantly traveling for entertainment or work.

I suggest u to use BITCOIN WALLET,  Have your Bitcoins always with you, in your pocket! You pay by quickly scanning a QR-code. As a merchant, you receive payments reliably and instantly. Bitcoin Wallet is the first mobile Bitcoin app, and arguably also the most secure!

No registration, web service or cloud needed! This wallet is de-centralized and peer to peer.
Display of Bitcoin amount in BTC, mBTC and µBTC.
Conversion to and from national currencies.
Sending and receiving of Bitcoin via NFC, QR-codes or Bitcoin URLs.
Address book for regularly used Bitcoin addresses.
When you’re offline, you can still pay via Bluetooth.
System notification for received coins.

The most important thing to check before you download wallet is to make sure that it is an open source wallet( the code for the wallet is well known and is public, has been checking and verified).
If the wallet is open source and is well known, you can be sure that it will be safe.
The 2nd thing to check would be if the wallet supports segwit addresses(so you won't need to pay high fees), and the 3rd thing to check is if the UI design is comfort, some designs wouldn't make it possible for the average person to use.

For me the best wallet I've ever used is coins.ph because this wallet is very trusted and legit. This wallet also is the one that is suitable in our country, so if you are from Philippines coins.ph is the best among others wallet.

maybe he can use bitcoin-qt and wallet from the exchanges to save your bitcoin or maybe he can use android phone to keep his bitcoin and I think every wallet is good to save bitcoin. personally, I use mycelium, bitcoin-qt, jaxx, and wallet from exchange and so far, I don't have any problem with those wallet. I hope that he can choose the wallet that is works good for him so he don't have to be worry about anything.

I think mobile is better because it can be used whenever i want to use it. But everyone is certainly different that they think the desktop is better on mobile appeal. Yes of course, although mobile is still vulnerable to hackers who really want to hack your mobile phone. If on the desktop may be more difficult if your pc is indeed safe.

In this case both type wallet peoples are use but most of peoples actually what type use desktop or mobile I am not sure but I am use mobile type bitcoin wallet.

Most of the people today are using ledger because it was a very good wallet that cost a few bucks and it did not get any negative reviews so i also use this wallet for a year.

From my personal view, each and every user who has been into bitcoin usage have got a blockchain wallet. By the first time they make use of it and further they learn about the different wallets depending on their needs as well for the security reasons. With this online blockchain wallets were the one that has got increased usage.

If course the most used wallet now is on the phone Any kind of wallet if it's bitcoin,ethereum and etc as long you can access in the internet or even offline many people use crypto wallet in their phone because they can bring it everywhere.

Bitcoin wallet is like a bank account, you can get Bitcoin, store them and then send them to others.
There are two main types of wallets:
A wallet that you can install on a personal computer or mobile device. You have complete control over your Bitcoin, but sometimes it's difficult to install and maintain.
A web wallet is a third party purse. It's easy to use but you have absolutely no trust in the provider to maintain your Bitcoin security.

if i prefer wallet desktop pc. because I think smartphones are vulnerable to viruses, and storing mobile wallets on smartphones is quite risky.

you can try coinbase

I prefer both mobile in desktop and mobile since my wallet can access on it but I do not save it on desktop and mostly in mobile because I can used and easily access it wherever I go. Devices that connected in the internet are vulnerable on hackers that is why we have to keep it secure all the time and avoid accessing unknown websites that is prone to viruses.

Many people are using mobile wallet because it is convenient. They can use bitcoin in anywhere that they like. However, I believe that bitcoin desktop wallet is suitable for me because im currently working with bitcoin and the blockchain. Using desktop wallet gives me chances to interact more with the blockchain and by that, I can learn new thing

But i think when it comes to viruses, desktop pc is one of the most risky, because of the viruses they can destroy what that system is and can also be easily to hacked by the hacker out there. Anyways, when i was a beginner my first wallet is Blockchain, but now i use CoinPh wallet here in my country because its easy to use and you can cash out your money through bank even you don't have one.
