The most definitive post on Bitcoin Wallets (http://www.bitcoineverything.net/the-most-definitive-post-on-bitcoin-wallets/)

We have reviewed a number of Bitcoin wallets from our experience are best to use. This is based solely on our opinion and we also welcome the opinions of others. Anyone can post suggestions and questions. We are here to answer.

I am using multibit and blockchain wallet at a moment, as I think both of them are very safe and secure with good security measures and your bitcoins are surely safe in it.

Blockchain wallet is the best and most trusted. It is really easy and simple to use, at the same time it is safe and secured as well. I would recommend blockchain wallets only as I am using the same from last 2 years and the experience is good.

Yeah even I am using the same since I am into bitcoin, and to be honest I have never found any issue with it when it comes to safety, and for a newbie its a best to start with.

I definitely agree that Blockchain.info is the best online wallet at the moment. It's pretty easy to use as a first start in bitcoins.

What I particularly like about Blockchain is that you can set the transaction cost yourself. If you don't need a transaction to settle immediately you can reduce the transaction cost and just wait 1h for the transaction to be confirmed.

I guess I'll be the first one to issue the usual warning to stay off online wallets.
Controlling your private keys is the most important part of a wallet's security.

Simple wallets like Electrum or Mycelium for mobile are my two favorites.

I agree with cold storage as well. We can never be too sure where our bitcoins will just in case an error comes up on online wallets. Usually the trend is most newbies are using online wallets for fast and ease of use..but those who are a bit advanced or who are using bitcoins in business and such use a cold wallet.   

for I prefared coinbase.com wallet, I know it is safe and best to use,i use it for almost 1yr..hopefully I don't encountered problem to this bitcoin wallet.

hi, hello , I used two wallets block chain wallet and coinbase.com , it easy and best to use.

Happy to see some replies and recommendations. I will add a poll very soon to help.

Also, if anyone has a request or has his own wallet to be reviewed on my blog then please contact me in PM. I will be more than happy to review and link to it. Lets help each other out.

Multibit gets my vote :) Personally, I don't store any digital currency (bitcoin or otherwise) online unless I am
getting ready to trade.

it depends on what you want to use it for. among web wallets blockchain.info is best for those who have a basic knowledge about bitcoin and want to have access to their private keys but for an absolute beginner who wants to buy bitcoin too i think coinbase is a much better choice. and both of these are only good to be used ans a hot wallet and with small amounts not for storing bitcoin, for that you should use cold storage.


ever since multibit developers thought it is a good idea to ask for an additional fee from users who use their wallet, they lost my vote. and it doesn't matter now that they changed things back, the damage is done.

i will always suggest you to use yobit wallet. the most trust able and reliable wallet. having no problem in transferring the bitcoin. and producing no issue during the transaction.

Blockchain wallet is the best of all in my view depending upon the access, transaction fee and other security features.

Well it depends on the amount you are going to hold. If you have a small amount coinbase or blockchain wallet will do fine. If you are going to hold a large amount then a hardware wallet would be much better. There are alot of hardware wallets just choose the one that is right for you.

For a beginner Electrum.

I personally use blockchain wallet and block.io wallet....block.io wallet is i think perfect for newbies because its really easy to use and good for small amounts of bitcoins...and its also include dogecoin and litecoin wallet

Hey, this brings back some memories when I started out with Bitcoin..... We did not have a lot to choose from, but it was still a daunting decision to make. Now it's much worst with all the options out

there, so I can see why sites like this will help newbies to choose. If we had Trezor back then, I think I would have gone for that from the start, but you know how they say you have to kiss a lot of frogs

before you find the prince.  ::) Thanks for this info OP.  ;)

i also use block chain wallet i think it is a best wallet a reliable and trust able. it never creating problems. can connect very easily. the most important reason is that it is a so much safe from hacking. that is why i prefer for block chain.

yes block chain is trustable and a good option for keeping the balance there. most of the other currencies supporter who i know personally are also using block chain wallet. actually they are not creating problems and easy to use.

I'm currently using blockchain.info web wallet because i feel more comfortable and secured than using coins.ph because in coins.ph a lot of users are complaining about it especially those gamblers because they account got deactivated. So even i'm not doing some gamble i transfered my coins to blockchain because it's the best and most popular wallet :).

Yes. I definitely agree to that. It all depends on the amount of bitcoin you are keeping. For beginners, I would suggest those online wallets like coinbase or blockchain wallet but if you are earning or keeping large amount of bitcoin, then you should opt for hardware and/or offline wallets. Thanks for the additional information. :)

Mycelium is excellent, it was because of OpenBazaar i downloaded Mycelium to my Android phone, really love this app. 

Also you have to think about how much, i would not keep more than a few Bitcoins on my phone, i keep most in cold storage.

EG: download Bitcoin desktop wallet,  then move that to a usb, making several back ups, then removing it from my computer.

As long as you are using the wallet most suggested by noobs which is blockchain.info is you are relying on a third party to hold your bitcoins and you are not in charge of your bitcoins really. Even this new wallet of them is HD and has a lot of security features you still are relying on third party to hold and to make bitcoin transactions for you. This is highly inconvenient because their website can go offline anytime, can be attacked via DDOS making you lose some money as you maybe wanting to spend some of your coins for a very nice offer in that very same moment the site is down.

Perfect for everyday usage and for storing coins is Electrum, if you install it in a clean PC (Linux OS recommended for higher security) the private keys are stored in your PC and only you are responsible if something bad happens (you let your guard down when taking care of your PC security).
So far I have not heard a single story of Electrum being hacked even from the Windows environment.

If you will leave your coins in your wallet sitting for years then absolutely your best bet is a hardware wallet like Trezor or Ledger Nano, both malware proofs so your coins are safe there.

This has got to be the biggest Blockchain shill cess pool I have ever seen on this forum - someone note these account names please. OP That wallet is literally one of the most hacked options out there, consider bread wallet if you want free and hold a small amount of BTC - Trezor for HD wallet more secure offline.

Best bitcoin wallet to use is Blockchain.info, because it has got the simple interface even a person using it first time clearly understands what were the features present.

I've two best bitcoin in my choice for cold storage I chose to download it directly from the site bitcoin.org and for everyday use I use blockchain.info

Coin base, blockchain, multibit is a trusted and safe wallet to use.
But if you a newbie who is care about 20k satoshi's fee, xapo is the answer.
Xapo has no fee

Really? well i will use Xapo for my faucet's then ( i dont do them usually unless im veery very bored ) cause it is really perfect to deposit there from faucetbox,when i have deposited into blockchain from faucetbox,i got actually almost no money after transfering it...

I personally like light wallets such as Multibits - I would never leave some BTC in exchanges (see the fiasco that is happening with the Yobit exchange) or I would not leave BTC in an online wallet either; anything outside my control is seen as potentially hackeable.

Xapo has recently started to get on the problematic KYC band, and as such they are randomly blocking some users, suddenly, who are surprised they can't get access to their BTC all of a sudden. Don't trust outside servers is my motto.

Xapo right now many complain about this wallet just heard that they are ban someone without any reason.. better to use electrum is my opinion.. online wallet also is not a good idea better to dont choose coinbase because i already experience of delay responce

`

of course your bitcoins are the safest in the cold storage but i think it iss better to hold it in an online wallet like blockchain.info in order to spend it whenever you want

Now i use bitcoin wallet from blockchain.info because I think they have a good security to protect our bitcoin, moreover, many bitcoin users who use the blockchain service . Thank you

An important thing I haven't seen much mention of, is the security of your own PC. Historically Windows is the most insecure, but it's difficult to dump everything you know. Your online habits affect this a lot. Do you cruise porn sites? Do you download music or movies? Do you use Edge or Internet Explorer?  The more bitcoin you acquire, the more important these questions become.

Any online wallet is convenient, but you are at the mercy of persons unknown. If they go down, your bitcoin can disappear. Multibit is good, but at the time I quit using it, it did not easily support proxy servers. If you have several PCs behind a firewall this could be a problem. Electrum is good because you can easily restore your wallet from phrases that you should write down before your PC goes belly up. Cold storage is the best for longtime use. If you are in the USA, Coinbase's online wallet is good, because they are making big efforts to comply with money laws. Conversely, you give up some privacy to use it.

How long do you keep a computer? If your PC suddenly refuses to boot up, can you recover important files from it? If you take it to any PC shop, do you know that they won't find/steal your private keys?

Phone wallets are very convenient to spend BTC with, make sure you can keep your BTC if the phone is lost or stolen.

all the bitcoin wallets can be good. but each of them are good for a different purpose. for example a web wallet like blockchain.info is good but it is not the most secure. if you are ever looking for the safest wallet you should only choose a wallet that is offline, download from a legit place and then install on an always offline system and you have the best wallet.

There a lot of wallet to choose: first one is web wallet like xapo,coins.ph(Philippines)blockchain and coinbase and there are also other wallet aside from that like mobile,desktop and hardware wallets. So it's very hard to advise what bitcoin wallet is the best because all of us are always have our own favorite type of wallet. So if you want to choose what's kind of wallet you like and also learn about those kind of wallet you can read some informations from this site: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet :).

                                                     

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1516755.msg15278564#msg15278564

i registered with bitgo.com/login it seems no one talks about it.
what do you think guys?

I didn't heard about that site, i don't think it's will be easy for an average person to trust that site because it's not popular like blockchain or even coinbase. But it's better if you do some research about that site and also find some feedbacks from other people who are using that site if that is a trusted or not :).

There are four main types of wallets

• Desktop/Software Wallet is one that you install on your own computer or mobile device. You are in complete control over the security of your coins, but they can sometimes be tricky to install and maintain.
• Hardware Wallet is like movable thing where you can store your own bitcoin and carry anywhere build with strong security.
• Smartphone/App Wallets are also great tool to get control over your web wallet with apps. Some of actual just apps are also can be used to send, receive or store bitcoins securely.
• Web Wallet or hosted wallet is one that is hosted by a third party. They are often much easier to use, but you have to trust the provider to maintain high levels of security to protect your coins.
  Every wallet has own existence and importance.

A “Bitcoin wallet” is basically the Bitcoin equivalent of a bank account. It allows you to receive bitcoins, store them, and then send them to others.

im from philippines and most of the people here uses coins.ph wallet. i also used that before but when my account there got banned because of gambling, i switched to blockchain and coinbase.

i personally using yobit. and i think it is the best bitcoin wallet for me. i am using it for so many time. i also suggest you to make your bitcoin wallet in yobit.

I'm using xapo, is xapo ok for gambling site?

Personally, I used Electrum for BTC. It is a compact installation and does not need to download the blockchain (as with bitcoin is huge now after many years of transactions  ::) ). It connects through the blockchain via remote connection to a blockchain explorer. In my experiences, its very easy and very quick to use. And as long as you secure your wallet code, which is a string of words unique to your wallet, it is very forgiving, should you forget your encryption key, all you have to do is create a "new" wallet using your original wallet code and you have your wallet back sans encryption code. That is why it is extremely important to secure your code, as anyone with it can do the same thing.   :'(

However, I do use other wallets besides Electrum. I have a xapo wallet, however, in my experiences is only really good for things like faucets and gambling where they offer direct pay and/or bonues for using a xapo wallet. There is multiple layers of passwords and confirmations that can sometimes make it a hassle to access your coin quickly. I usually end up flushing my xapo wallet into my electrum wallet every few weeks so that I have better access to my coin.

As bitcoin has its own protocol, so it just need to be with internet to access wallet for bitcoins.

Already there are mainly four types of wallets are present as

1) App wallet
2) Desktop wallet
3) Hardware wallet
4) Web wallet

Its up to user to choose most convenient wallet for there needs.
And also have to take all precautions and security majors for wallet whichever you choose.

Addition level of security can enhance wallet sustainability.

I'm already use blockchain over a year and It almost never have any problem since I'm using it ( except they are down for some maintenance)
They are easy to use and simple interface so you will learn fast eventhough you're new using blockchain

It's really a good idea to keep users of Bitcoin informed of the best Bitcoin wallets.
I propose Xapo, which is a good wallet that has no transaction fees, but lacks a bit of security, but that does not have good security, because the Bitcoin wallet user has no access to private keys.

That depends on the user. You could make a flow diagram for this decision.

Do you trust your mobile phone?   (No -> no mobile wallet)
Do you want to pay for your wallet?  (No -> no hardware wallet)
Do you want privacy? (Yes -> no mobile wallet, no web wallet)
Are you tech savy? (No -> use a simple wallet)
Does your computer crash every year/month/week? (Yes -> dont use desktop wallet)
Did your phone break due to accidents (water, drop) in the past? (Yes -> don use mobile wallet)

I suggest xapo bcoz i use it a year but until now i never experience to delay all transaction.xapo is free transaction but lacks a bit of security, but that does not have good security, because the Bitcoin wallet user has no access to private key. I have 2 wallets xapo and coins.ph. If i want to cash out my bitcoin i will transfer it from xapo to coins.ph.

I am using blockchain.info, pretty satisfied for now  8)

I am using mutibit wallet and I think its very safe and trustworthy and whenever I need to sell my coins I transfer it to my localbitcoins wallet.

Is the electrum wallet free or paid?

The day I entered into bitcoin I am using only blockchain.info wallets as I felt that its security features are too good and not easy for anyone to steal your coins.

Blockchain.info is one the most used bitcoin wallet and at times it is best to use the one that most people use because it means they are well trusted. :)

For me coins.ph is my first pick, the reason is im from philippines.
Second is coinbase which can give you 4 wallets in an instant.

It should be noted that it should be treated like a hot wallet, you don't want to keep all your BTC in a service like this.  Although I will agree they are one of the most popular wallets, and have a good history.  But one bad event could change that.  I think you would be much better off with hardware wallet/paper wallet/etc if storing a decent amount.

The only online wallet that is a little different I can think of is Coinbase.  They hold a insurance policy ( https://support.coinbase.com/customer/portal/articles/1662379-how-is-coinbase-insured- ).   Most online hot wallets do not have this, still would be careful storing large quantity of coins.

The first time I go into bitcoin, I always use blockchain.info, especially now blockchain.info has a great look and features. and just add google authenticator to add security :)

I think there is no bitcoin wallet guaranteed 100% safe and will not deceive us. In my view all of wallet risky scam, if you want 100% safe create your own wallet to make your own network: D

But the best use for the wallet, in my opinion blockchains.info and Coinbase. Because until now I still use their services. Just a suggestion do not ever leave your large funds in just one wallet providers. to reduce the risk of things we do not want.

bitcoin core is the best wallet to use I think that is save
for online wallet no guaranteed 100% safe. but the offline wallet like bitcoin core is very good.

I think the problem from bitcoin core is malware dude, so thats not 100% right for offline wallet. Bitcoin core is good but I do not like when it takes up a large enough memory. This time alone has reached 65 GB :(

I'll suggest blockchain.info because of its security and user friendly interface. Add on 2fa verification for more security of your funds specially in big amounts. I didn't encounter any problems on blockchain. So I'll recommend it to those newbie or starters in Bitcoin world.

There are some good 2fa option's aswell.   Cell phones scare me some as social engineering can happen and numbers get transferred to "bad guys".  In past month or so been a few big youtube people who have been hit by this.  So we are not big target's like them... but still can happen.

One I like is Yubikey which I did a hand's on with for blockchain.info https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1353231.0 .   It is a physical token that you have to press a button on.  So you have have access to the usb stick, and also physically press the button it can not be activated via software.  Which makes it where it can't be pressed remote which is good.

So yes 2fa is great idea.  But still a hot wallet so don't store a ton of coins there.

it is weird to say bitcoin core wallet for offline storage, but i guess if you want it IS possible. because you don't need to connect to internet with it so there is no blockchain (70+GB) download.
but that would only be used for creating a bitcoin address to dump bitcoin in, in that case there are simpler ways of doing this for offline storage.

I've started with blockchain and tried out a few more on the side but I find the blockchain to be the best one and I'm still using it today.

 all bitcoin wallets are good as long as you are downloading them from the official sites/links and be careful not to get the wrong tampered with wallet.

also you have to choose the wallet based on your needs so there isn't only one good wallet for everyone.

I use electrum as bitcoin wallet.

Could be better, I can't even chose what fee should I pay.

Other day the wallet wanted to charge me over 2 mBTC as transaction fee...

You can easily adjust the transaction fee in Electrum under Tools/Preferences/Transactions (I'm using Electrum on Linux, Electrum version for other OSs might have a slightly different path).

yeah I agree with you, every wallet was good. But most of the errors committed by our own. For example, yesterday I downloaded an ebook on this forum (but the thread was already deleted) turns me fetching the coin stealer. That where I copied every bitcoin address, and when I paste the address has changed. LOL

My bitcoin wallet that Im using now is blockchain.

If you don't have plans to trade altcions as well, yo9u may consider just the wallets of an exchange site.
I have been using yobit for quite awhile and the rest of the exchange sites just so i need not to install wallet programs on my hard drive. it saves harddrive space. :)

My friends i think you need a personal wallet that you have full authority over the private key of the wallet. Due to worry about if you save money in the wallet exchanger will have problems if the exchanger is being affected by the problem eg hacking, DDOS, or scam. With that then there will be difficulties to attract your coin or even lose them. I have seen some experts say never save your big money in the wallet exchanger because it is too risky. Thank you

I will give it to block chain cos of the flexibility and security over your account and also the real time notifiactions on anything going on in the account also at the same time gives you schedule of your contributing wallet address. This give a form of control from your own point and its available to trade in my country compared there's with restriction to some specific countries. However, block chain does not give notifications for deposit in your accounts you have to log in to see unlike coinbase... My 2cents...

I am using coinbase and coins.ph wallet.

I suggest if you use coinbase since it's worldwide and secured security.

Coinbase and blocchain.info are the best wallets for me at a moment, as its very safe and secure and your coins are really safe in it and not easy for anyone to steal them.

 for me....i used my local bitcoin wallet (coins.ph) xapo, coinbase and blockchain wallet. i never put all my BTC in one wallet only. for security reason, i frequently used the xapo, coinbase and blockchain while during my cashout, i used my local btc wallet.

the wallet xapo is good option too, there no fee to transfer or accept bitcoin
but at xapo is no private key. I agree with you do not put you all btc in one wallet to avoid losing all of btc

I think blockchain wallet is more easier and it would be more efficient as well. I will prefer blockchain wallet.

I agree with you. Let us not consider these online wallets as banks. Never place big amounts on your online wallet.
If you were able to check the link: The most definitive post on Bitcoin Wallets (http://www.bitcoineverything.net/the-most-definitive-post-on-bitcoin-wallets/), we also listed some desktop/offline wallets and hardware/mobile wallets where you all have the hold of your Bitcoin. :)

yes the best online wallet is blockchain at this moment
I personally use this wallet to store my btc, I like to use this wallet because it is simple and trusted.

What do you mean by "online wallets"
Do you think that Bitcoin-QT or Multibit may work offline?  ;D

I think you mean is not online wallet. because I think of online wallet services such as blockchain.info was nice and could be considered. In blockchain.info we have full control on bitcoin and wallet with the "private key". Perhaps you mean is the online wallet provided by exchangers, because as I said above you do not have full control of the wallet in the exchanger. So it makes it risky to store large amounts of BTC in there :)

Guys what do think if i always using blockchains wallet for bitcoin if there is no concern ? actually i still dont understand how to use wallet bitcoin on dekstop windows

You can download and install desktop wallets and use them easily. The best ones are Electrum and MultiBit. The sites (electrum.org and multibit.org) have all the instructions on how to download, install, and use them.

for online wallet i use blockchain, because most popular and asy to use.

May i recommend that you have more than one wallet unless you are going to use a paper wallet.  The reason I suggest this, is that in my opinion it is safer.  it makes it easier to transfer bitcoin funds from one place to another, etc.  This is just my opinion though.

I really like light wallets like Multibits, although I find their latest version cumbersome with the extra (sometimes un-necessary) security.

Multibit and blockchain.info are the best wallets to have as they are very much safe and secure and not easy for anyone to steal your coins.

Always activate 2 factor authentication to be secure, otherwise it just too easy to hack.

Blockchain.info is very anonymous and not secure. If someone has access to your email adress and your password he can just send all your coins to his own wallet.

I prefer to use blockchain.info are the best online wallet at the moment
trusted. your right.
it is very much safe and secure if you turn on F2A or SMS verification.

I am use blockchain for get important payments so i can make a signed message
of course with 2fa security
and my second wallet is circle, this wallet no fee for transactions also always make a great promotion to get free btc :D

yeah until now i still using blockchains wallet may laler i'll try on dekstop wallet thanks you some previous post is quite helpful

As most users said blockchain.info wallet is the best to use wallet.
Its easy to use on desktop and mobile as well with really good security features.

I use Electrum - it's the most convenient one, and working with addresses is really easy.

i think blockchain is the best more secure bitcoin wallet to be use for keeping bitcoins.

Blockchain.info is preferred, because the updated version has got increased security features along with much friendly interface, accessibility and detailed description about the transaction made.

Blockchain.info and Coinbase.com is the best online bitcoin wallets that their security system is very great.

Also bitcoin core is also good if your computer is completely secured no virus or anything suspicious software in your computer.

Hi,
Mycelium was my first wallet when i got to bitcoin, a few months ago. Recently i switched to breadwallet (because iPhone). Breadwallet is more girly. Way simpler and i kinda love it that way. In the end, it really makes no difference, as long as i have those 12 words safe, right?

coinbase is a great online wallet, there is best place to store bitcoin and available for trading too
just remind, dont put all your bitcoin in one wallet (very risky)

for me blockchain.info is the best i think

Wow! That is a lot of votes for blockchain. It is undoubtedly the most used wallet in the bitcoin world.  :)

Unfortunately I would say. Because if you have your coins stored on blockchain you are relying on third party (in this case blockchain s.a luxembourg) to hold your coins and in order to use them you need to access the blockchain.info website. I can understand that newbies will go directly to these kind of wallets but my advice is to  use Electrum, it can hold up to 2000 bitcoin addresses and its very easy as you can just install it on your desktop (must be a clean OS, preferably Linux OS) and you can do whatever you like with your coins since you are not relying on third party to hold the coins for you but you are holding the coins yourself.
It just needs to take the first step to migrate to a desktop wallet and trust me you will never look back and totally forget about blockchain and alike wallets.

Of course a desktop wallet is much better than any online wallet in terms of security. But if you think about accessibility an online wallet is just much easier to use. Especially if you are new to bitcoins. As a beginner I assume you don't have more 100 USD to play around. If of course you start into bitcoins directly with <1+ BTC go directly for a desktop wallet.

I am also using Electrum wallet because it is easy to use and I am holding my funds I don't have any problem using it when it gets buggy I will just reinstall it and use my seed piece of cake my advice to newbie is to learn how to use electrum and use Linux.

Here is a blog that compares the best bitcoin wallets in 2016: https://99bitcoins.com/best-bitcoin-wallet-2015-bitcoin-wallets-comparison-review

You might want to take a look.

I personally the best online wallet is blockchain.info
and for mobile wallet is mycellium.
this is best wallet for me to use at the moment.

So which of the online wallets ere not going to ban yiur account if you are invove with gambling? Im using xapo wallet but i worrying bout getting invove with gambling. Is xapo wallet going to ban my account if i do that.? I have not read the terms of usage of xapo.

I have not heared that blockchain.info does ban any kind of wallet or what it is used for.

Hello i have used many online wallets to hold bitcoins on it. but for me now stable and safe is blockchain.info .. but if you need to hold big amount of bitcoins best way is to use pc wallet to make your bitcoins more secure) good luck

I want to store a big amount of btc in pc wallet but what happen when one day my laptop or usb is stolen ? So I think store btc online is a little bit safer  :-[.

Well there is still alternative if you are using electrum and you already have those seeds in notepad just archive it in rar file with password protected upload in dropbox as one of the safeplace that you will need in the future..  also you can use burna cd for all your password and accounts..
Its not te problem to backup our wallet in pc wallet.. online wallets are risky for me because i already experience it in coinbase also in xapo..

I know the risk when store online.Thank for your guide,I will try to use Multicore :)

Surprisingly, no one mentioned Jaxx.io wallet? ::)
Been using it since it syncs my account/ wallet/ balance across all my devices (Desktop, phone, etc). Liking its portability so far!

Personally also using Multibit HD to store my funds since it does not need to sync the entire Bitcoin chain, user-friendly and works like a charm! ;D

The other wallet did they mention here i never heard those wallet. the only thing that i never experience any problem for transaction receive and sending.. electrum for mobile and desktop..

at the moment bitcoin wallet is the best blockchain.info for the online wallet
and mycelium for mobile wallet.

Blockchain and mycelium are great but at the most time i use blockchain + Xapo as blockchain is instant and xapo is with no fee !

I use blockchain.info's wallet and Electrum. Electrum is really convenient and customizable, and I like that for my purposes.

Blockchain's wallet is secure and safe enough, you can also downloading your PC wallet with your private keys and it's safe as well..Personally i prefer the blockchain wallet

I use Coinbase at the moment. It is just like every other wallet and it also pays your transaction fees. Other than that, Coinbase is just like all other wallets.

i tried bitcoin core but it was too big a wallet for me to download and also maintain so i moved on to electrum which is smaller size wallet and easier for me to use.

I also like blockchain.info very much. blog chain gives some features which other web wallet don't give. like access to private keys, Custom sending option. signing message etc. these are the best feature blockchain have..
xapo, spectrocoin.com don't have these features.

I would recommend using an offline wallet as you have access to the private key, using an online wallet means you may not have full access. I use mycelium wallet. If you're planning on  using an online wallet, I would recommend xapo simply because you don't pay any fees.

yes that is  a good idea, blockchain.info is really trusted but i think it depend on the interest of the person that what kind of wallet is convenient for him. but for me my personal view is that offline wallet will be more safe and good.

I Recommend you the Blockchain.info Wallet Because I am Using this Wallet From a Year And Doesn't Faced any Issues.......
I am also Using Exchanger wallet where I Store my Some Bitcoins For Trading......

If you're in Philippines and want to convert your bitcoins to peso then it is best to use Coins.ph

Yes blockhain.info is really good and safe wallet and its very secure keeping our coins intact in it and its not easy for anyone to hack of steal your coins.

the best wallet is blockchain

Coinbase.com or Blockchain.info is the best online wallet for me since there security system is very hard to enter and
You can also try Bitcoin Core to learn what's the difference between online wallet to offline wallet.

I heard friends saying, localbitcoin wallet is one of the best wallet for bitcoin to be used. My friend shared few ups and downs of each wallet especially the blockchain wallet. It

Localbitcoin is not wallet
localbitcoin only market placed exchange member to member localbitcoin only equal escrow

you're wrong, local bitcoin is the market to sell or buy of bitcoin
its not wallet.
the wallet like blokchain, xapo, bitcoin core. etc

I use a multisig and cold wallet to store big, and a hot wallet to liquid amounts.

Friends have recommended three wallets. Localbitcoin, Blockchain and coinbase. I am sure all three are well protected with security systems.

I think YOBIT wallet is trustworthy for Yobit campaign. I have read threads sharing the feedback on wallets. And of course there are other wallets like localbitcoins coinbase.org and etc....

i am using  the blockchain wallet.... i loved the security level and the verification steps before spending the money......
and the transection time is very low... its about 8 to 10 seconds, so that a low time...I love to use the blockchain

dude thats an exchange site. Its advisable to store btc in a wallet that you have control on your private key. Im only using local exchange site if i were about to cashout and not storing my earnings in exchange site eventhough they are trusted still not advisable to store in a wallet that you have no control on your private key.

i am using coinbase. i heard that blockchain.info have transaction fees? i will just transfer my bitcoins there if i already have more bitcoins

Yeah blockchain.info is very simple to use and holds great level of security features and your bitcoins are really safe in it as I am using it since last 2 years and never add any issue with safety of my coins.

Yeah you're right there security system is very excellent but once you lost your phone number or your email address it very hard to retrieve your account, probably once this is happen kindly contact there support to assist you, coinbase is one of my recommend since they not have fee when you send to the bitcoin address.

Yeah, in blockchains.info there are transaction fee. Likewise in Coinbase, actually Coinbase also pay a transaction fee but they use their own money do not like blockchain that charge a transaction fee to us. thanks

Coinbase is a good wallet for online liquid transaction while the best choice for offline cold wallet is a basic Bitcoin Core use latest version ,

I don't think anything wrong in paying minimal fees if my coins are safe in wallet, even if blockchain charges fees I will continue to use it as the safety of my coins is more important then fees.

Use a wallet that is registered in your country,for example im from the philippines and coins.ph is the wallet i use cause it gives me help in paying my bills and top up my phone instantly.

I would say use a wallet that is based on security.  I would look at cold storage like a paper wallet, they will always remain king as they are free and easy to make.  Just have to make sure you create on a machine not compromised and store safely.  Also you can use hardware wallet's some like Trezor make bitcoin storage very easy and very secure to the point you should not be hacked as long as you store seed's safely. 

But online web wallets have a place just to me I don't see it being a main wallet.  They are good for daily spending not long term in my eye's.

the best wallet my use
is xapo, is complete debitcard legal and free send transaction

True that I also agree with you, as long as my money is safe and secure fee charged was not a problem, than we are looking for a free service, but with a lower security quality. I think that bitcoin have small fee, and you will not be poor due to pay that fee. hehe

iam use blockchain old wallet
much experience good feature import/export wallet

It is good that you are using a wallet based in your country because you can somehow trust them or maybe they more accessible when it comes to paying your bills but we should always take into consideration the security the wallet service gives. If the wallet seems to be secure and at the same time convenient for you, then that wallet could be a good choice. :)

The best wallet is the wallet that you have the private key of your bitcoin address or at least the seed/passphrase of your wallet, all others are not 100% safe because if you don't control your bitcoin then the chances that someone else if playing with them are not low. So I would go with paper wallet the old method is gold method.

I'm currently using blockchain. I like it because it is secure, and they have a mobile app, so i can manage my wallet on the go.

Breadwallet is a great wallet for your phone.  You have to have a lock code on your phone in order to use it, for added security or it won't open.  I like Blockchain however the fact that it is an online wallet means that I wouldn't use it to hold large amounts.  I reserve that for my cold wallet :)

I use breadwallet too and it is definitely safe to keep your Bitcoins there. IMO, it is better to have multiple wallets just in case one service is down, at least you still have remainingor some Bitcoin to use. :)

That is definitely a good point but for beginners, you can still start with online wallets because they are still safe. When you go further and you keep bigger funds, you should opt for offline or paper wallets. It is also recommended to use various Bitcoin wallets so that if in case something wrong happened in your wallet you, do not lose all your Bitcoins. :)

I assume you're talking about blockchain.info right? If so, I really hope you don't store all your coins there because it's a third party having control over it.

I personally only use bitcoin core as it allows me to run a full node from time to time. I say from time to time because it's quite heavy for my computer to keep the client open all day.

Most of the countries don;t have a registered wallet like in philippines the coins.ph.

If people want a main wallet and a hot wallet then they should chose an offline wallet such as hardware wallet or electrum.

And a hot wallet for personal/daily use such as Mycelium, again hardware wallets are good too, and/or web wallets for small amounts.

Supposedly, they don't have any way of knowing or accessing your private keys. Supposedly this has been verified somehow, but I am hazy on the details. In any case, the consensus is that with blockchain.info, you do not control the software that controls your private keys (not local to your machine) -- so in theory, there are attack vectors that could empty your wallet whether or not Blockchain.info had control over your keys. I believe they do not have control over your keys. But the implementation is susceptible to attack.

The Bitfinex hack is another reminder to avoid giving control over your bitcoins up to custodians. You can secure your own PC better than they can secure hundreds of thousands of bitcoins -- they have a target on their back. They have many, many employees. People have tried for years, and continue to try to crack their security setup. That's just a fact of being an exchange / 3rd party wallet provider.

Better to stick with a solid desktop wallet, like Bitcoin Core.

Any mobile wallet is also generally less secure. And when you download apps to your phone, what kind of verification are you doing? Are you making sure that you are receiving the correct binary, signed by the original author? Or do you just download it from the app store and don't ask any questions?

I would be careful not to keep much stored on a mobile phone wallet either.

Mainly choosing a wallet mainly depends on how many bitcoins you are going to be storing in it and how often you need them. If you are storing them for the time when the value increases then use cold storage like paper wallets.If you are using bitcoins frequently for buying things then use online wallets but do not store too much bitcoins in there as there is a chance of losing them.

I sometimes save a lot of bitcoin there and it was safe, even using blockchain.info for 3 years.
I think blockchain very well-known and safe, do not worry about it.

I think that many bitcoin wallets are good, it is all about which you like more,for example i like blockchain so i use it, and it is pretty good wallet

I am using coinbase web wallet from the start of my bitcoin journey and till now i did not had problem, and their security is very strong, and after that i started to use electrum desktop wallet for my bitcoins which i use very less only in emergency.

Cool, I will make a research about it.

This is a very dangerous way of thinking. It doesn't matter how safe or well known a certain site as blockchain.info or an exchange might be.

Nothing saves you from high level employees or hackers ripping the company and run with huge loads of coins. Bitfinex is a good example of that.

That's why you should store the far majority of your coins in offline storage for your own safety. Better safe than sorry.

for me blockchain.info wallet is definitely the best on and i never look for any replaces because it is just perfect

at the moment, Blockchain.info is the bitcoin wallet
its simple and safe to use it.
if do you want with secure more you can use bitcoin core, it is very good wallet
but not easy to download the blockchain to sync it.

I am using coinbase web wallet too, ist simple and minimum fee better than all

I'm using Copay. There is no email needed to use comparing to other wallets (maybe i'm wrong?) Is this wallet good?

blockchain.info is the best choice if you are using only bitcoin but bit.ac is another wallet to consider it can store multiple alt coins as well.Also it has an exchange built in so you can exchange coins.

im never hear about bit.ac ? it's a online bitcoin wallet? can i back up my private key ?
i m use xapo and coinbase for daily usage because the zero fee help me to micropayment

at past it is blockchain because simple to use but now it is hard because all user need upgrade to new version

Blockchain.info is never been the best wallet. What could you do if they suddenly shut down their service? What if they decided to steal our funds stored to them? Best wallets are those you can 100% control your coins plus the security

This thread is a spam magnet, so i'm posting in it  :P. Just make a poll for god's sake.

I personally would recommend a hardware wallet, like a Ledger or a Trezor. Never use an online wallet. Ever.

Isn't there a risk that your hardware wallet starts to malfunction at some point and you'll lose the Bitcoins stored in it?
I'm a bit paranoid about that.
And do you think CryoBit cards are a safe option too?

Seems that many people in this thread believe this. The interface is nice -- but that's all it is. You may control your keys, but you don't control the software that generates and spends with them. They are vulnerable to certain kinds of JS/script attacks. I would recommend using a desktop wallet -- even a lite wallet like Electrum is much safer than using Blockchain.info.

Think so too! I am using the same ones!

Hardware wallet can be Malfunction or can be corrupt thats why its advisable that you always backup you wallet and the private key of your bitcoin address so that if it will happen you can be install it to other wallet while you are fixing your hardware wallet..

In my opinion i will stay at electrum because i am still not halving any issue. i want to use  bitcoin core but the problem it can eat my whole drive..

When did you last try QT/Core? They've made some fantastic improvements over the past few releases that have drastically improved syncing time and reduced resource requirements. My node/wallet synced in several hours last time around, rather than over a day a couple years ago. With pruning, you can also lower your storage requirements. You can also throttle upload bandwidth if that's an issue. I suggest trying it out again! Electrum is cool, but there's nothing like the security of running your own full node.

I think all wallets are good, it is up to you which one you will like most, i use block chain because it is very popular so i hope it have good security too

When it comes to security and stability, I would got with Bitcoin core but it requires a lot of space and memory though. When it comes to speed, Iw ould go with Electrum. It is simple and has low resource usage. :)

for me green address is the best, besides that i used to use armory wallet as it is really safe

at the moment I prefer to use blokchain.info, this is the best online wallet
easy to use, simple and very secure.

i can agree on you as blockchain.info being the best ONLINE wallet but among all the others i will not prefer to use blockchain.info as i don't wanna keep my coins in an online wallet, what could i do if they suddenly close their site? i couldn't just cry at my bed right?

I use blockchain.info most times and, sometimes, the Electrum wallet. The Electrum I use because it is really convenient and also customizable.

trezor hardware wallet is definitely the best even though it is not that cheap

Each wallet you own the private key and secured it, is good wallet. I use personally more than wallet service , but i prefer the blockchain wallet, so i would suggest it

not recommed to store all your bitcoin in the online wallet
I think the online wallet is very helpful for fast transaction.

in my view, Firstly it's a personal wallet as cold store then blockchain.info

I have started with blockchain and tried out a few more on the side but I find the blockchain to be the best one and i am still using it today.

Personally I like blockchain.info but the idea of using a browser wallet is just full of security flaws as well as minor troubles "Like the recent downtime" and mostly people don't keep the private codes as well.. I been using Armory for few months and it was a good experience 'although a little complicated in the beginning'.

For me, each type of wallets have their advantage and disadvantage and choosing a wallet service depends on how a wallet is more convenient to you. However, I would still suggest to use more than one wallet so you do not loose your funds all together, just in case.  ;)

I suggest you to use a wallet based on your country so that you can easily withdraw money from it or ezchange your money into bitcoin and if you dont want that use blockchain this one is the best bitcoin storage as of now

I found blockchain info a simple to use wallet with a nice amount of features. It is pretty quick too and I can set custom fee on transactions. For advanced users, I recommend Bitcoin core, though. With bitcoind, it has an infinite amount of possible features thanks to the custom development possibilities.

Is blockchain has trasanction fee in every transaction you made? because i see the difference between my country base biitcoin wallet and block chain well its a big advantage to me when i use bitcoin wallet based on my country because i can easily sell bitcoin and withdraw cash from atm.

since your site provided the better list of bitcoin wallet for newbie and bulk user but here i want mention that there are some important wallet are missed .
there lack of myacellium which is mist powrful and best for slow net user and can handle any btc adress through private key .
and i will suggest for newbie here they should use coinbase instead to any other wallet . because coinbase is free from transaction charge .

Electrum and MyCelium has never let me down.
I haven't decided which one I prefer too use but I like to use both of them. :)
Each has their own set of features that make my life some what simpler when it comes to sending and receiving bitcoin from multiple sources.

Any of desktop wallet is good for staking as well as storage of Bitcoin. Use of qt client give good security. But should have to take precautions as back up of .DAT file, Back up of wallet address with private Key etc.

this security majors can give more freedom and accessibility to user while using desktop qt client. And always keep your wallet encrypted.

Staking? Bitcoin isn't a POS coin in case you didn't know it already.

Also, there are different wallets out there. Most people prefer to use a light weight wallet that doesn't require you to download the entire blockchain like you do with Core.

That's the worse suggestion any Sr.Member can make. Blockchain.info is an online wallet and you are keeping your coins in some website which a third party (the owners of the website control that wallet). Even if they say they do everything inside your browser and they don't keep your password its better to keep your coins in cold storage or hardware wallets. By keeping your coins in a hardware wallet you remove the chance that your coins get stolen.

Conclusion is never keep your coins in an online wallet. Buy a cheap hardware wallet here www.ledger.com (not using my referral link) and stop once and for all to worry about the security of your coins.

I'm afraid of using Coinbase, since they are regulated I've read of them closing customers accounts due to suspicion of them doing something bad, and the people saying they are innocent. Why take that chance. Especially since they are monitoring your transactions.

the best for me online wallet blockchain

Bro I am using online wallet only so far and I have used blockchain and coinbase. I would say coinbase is best among these both because coinbase is with low transaction fees.
Bro could you please explain me about the dat file and how it's vital in desktop wallet?

I'm using blockchain since I know bitcoin until now.
I'm never experience any problem using it. I like blockchain because it's simple and easy to use.
If there are maintanance, I following it's twitter account !

I tried blochchain but i heard that it is not a good to use online wallet thats why i stop using online walleti stay at electrum because its a liteweight version of bitcoincore..

my friend told me to use blockchain so i follow his word because i know bitcoin stuff from him

More users prefer Blockchain wallet for the easiest accessibility. For the long term holding localbitcoins were preferred for its increased security access as well trading ease.

The problem with these services is that they should never be used as a tool to store coins. And definitely not for the long term.

You at all times should be aware of the dangers of having someone else as the party that controls your coins.

That's why I never use online wallet services to store my coins. Not even for a few satoshis.

Lots of people are using blockchain and its majority, and it recommended for those who are new in bitcoin but in my side it will be more safer or better if we are going to support wallets that are based in our country so that it will grow their economy and special promotion to grow more.

I saw a lot people recommending blockchain.info, coinbase, and localbitcoin wallet, I suggest to all newbie to try Bitcoin Core or Election to experience what is difference between offline and online wallet.

Even Electrum and Bitcoin Core are online wallets but they have a difference with other online wallets. The private keys of your addresses never leave your PC and if you install them in a safe PC at first and add a really strong password 13 characters , rest assured they are as good as hardware wallets which offer the user ultimate security for their coins.

Users should stay away from wallets like blockchain.info, xapo, coinbase as they are not really secure. It is someone else who is managing your bitcoins for you.

I use blockchain.info online wallet and bitcoin core wallet, I believe that these are the best. I have not used the electrum wallet yet, but I will get more information about it.

blockchain.info is a web wallet so it is not the best in any way. but among the online web wallets i think it is one of the best.

you should start using another wallet if you have more than 0.1 bitcoin and move to a cold storage if it is 0.5+ bitcoin. Electrum is a good choice for both.

i choose blockchain first and coin base in the second
no matter the wallet you must activate 2FA for maximum security

Yes I agree that we need to use two factor authentication or 2FA but does anybody know how to disable second password in blockchain.info? I forgot that second password and I am not able transfer funds at the moment. Your answers would be very much appreciated.  :)

Bitcoin core is  the best bitcoin wallet to use
but it is too hard to sync you need many a space in your the computer to download blockchain

hi guys,


how i do i choose my wallet plse?

blockchain is the best choice for the beginner i think.
u just need phone number for wallet authentication code, email for verification, and google authentication if u want add some security for ur account.
i dont know how much u have to pay for the fee of the transaction.

I'm not quite sure if you're asking what I think you're asking. You don't need a how-to for choosing, just go to https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet and pick one of your preference. If you're asking on what to choose, I'd recommend electrum.

Hi! We provided a list of the most preferred bitcoin wallets in a link in our original post. Check it out: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1529378.0 :)

Well, many people using blockchain because it's easy to use and I'm sure many people out there, the first bitcoin wallet that they have is blockchain, same as me. For me, the best wallet is blockchain.

Like many people have said, Blockchain is the best wallet in my opinion. It's simplicity coaxed me yet it's 2 step authentication gave me ease of mind.

It's good but if you have more BTC put it in a paper wallet so you don't get stressed out on the regular if someone is willing to hack

Yes because blockchain.info is one of the most oldest and safest bitcoin wallet nowadays and  it will more secured now that you can sign a message to provide your identity of the address here in bitcointalk.org i love using it is easy to use and it is not hard to use anyway :)

ok thank you very much for yu support.

Not so safe there is still risk to use online wallet but you can secured your wallet so that hackers can hack your account.. use always 2 factor auth. that can prevent hackers to login to your account.. for me i will suggest to use electrum instead its more safe than online wallet..

I would also prefer using an offline wallet like electrum over online wallets as they give the user full control of their private keys.
While using online wallets, the private keys are shared with them and thereby there is a risk that they might get misused by hackers or the site might crash suddenly.
Online wallet like coinbase are worst as they don't even provide the private keys of their addresses.

from the first I use bitcoin, I always use blockchain.info until now, very convenient and easy to access.
added security google authenticator and never got hacker, very safe and has been used for 3 years to date.

I prefer using blockchain because you can sign a message to your address in that website. You could import private keys, as well. Some sites don't enable you to do that. There's also 2FA and email authentication and you can use both of them at the same time. You might also find a bitcoin wallet that accepts credit card as a withdrawal and deposit method.

For me blockchain is one of the best wallet online for me and next is coinbase where you can use credit card or bank statement to buy bitcoin via there website and you can now load at blockchain the best right.

I think its more safe to use electrum than blochain wallet.. because its online wallet that anytime can attack by online hackers..
Also electrum has 2fa also that you can back your private key but the real address can't.. the problem is you can not sign message if you choose 2fa this is one of the problem in electrum.. unlike a normal wallet in electrum that you can make sign message.

Even better is a paper wallet,consider that-it's easy and you just have to remember where you keep it

Before you decide which wallet to use you need to know what you are doing with your wallet.  If you goal is to amass crypto and hold it long term then a heavy/secure wallet might be more suitable since it will be accessed rarely.  If your goal is to use it frequently for day to day online purchases then a lightweight wallet might be more reasonable - sacrificing some security for convenience (since time is money for most).

For security I recommend using a paper wallet - one where you can print out the keys and save them offline.  Personally I use an Armory offline X of Y wallet where I need to retrieve X number of pages stashed around the world to rebuild my wallet.  I cold have my house burn down and still easily rebuild my wallet within hours.

coinbase is a good place to purchase bitcoin not to hold bitcoin in other words it is terrible as a bitcoin wallet because it is making things centralized and you have zero control over your private keys and as a result your money.

There are many things to think about when choosing a wallet. There are online wallets, mobile wallets, software wallets and a few others.  I prefer a software wallet for the house

It is true, if you want to hold your bitcoin for long term then you can go with hardware or software wallet like, desktop wallet, electrum, where you have full control over your wallet with private keys, online wallet is good for doing trading but not for holding bitcoins for long term, but i am using coinbase and i used it for trading purpose only.

Keep in mind that there is a fee every time that you move your BTC from one wallet address to another. 

I chose Electrum and it needs a password each time in the version that I picked, but that is nothing compared to some of the others that require that 12 words passphrase or even the pvt key. 

I'm very new to Bitcoin of course I'd heard of it but never before thought to use them.
Now though I'd like to pay  for 2 or 3 things I purchase monthly online with Bitcoin so started searching
for info. When I started a couple of days ago Green Address and Mycelium were names that popped up
frequently but to my surprise Mycelium has only been mentioned a few times and Green Address was mentioned
once in the whole 12 pages and that was on page 10.
These were the two I was thinking of using until I read this thread, I'm not going to be storing coins in a wallet
like I said it's purely to pay for online purchases 3 times a month so thought one of these wallets would be fine.
I did install Armory and the Bitcoin base but they took up 169g of my hardrive and I thought that was over kill
for want I'm going to use a wallet for so I uninstalled and I will settle for a wallet on my phone
but now I'm back to square one in choices  :-\

I choose blockchain bitcoin online wallet for the best one, because i never heard a problem about blockchain from other people and i think blockchain is the oldest online bitcoin wallet ? CMIIW.

the obvious thing is that using online wallets is not safe. From desktop wallets i prefere Multibit.. just because i use him from years without problems, but as i know it will be better to use Electrum.

Exactly, i prefer to use offline wallet than online wallet, but it's ok for storing spendable amount in online wallet due to it's simplicity.

not the safest, what if the site is offline??
if you want to storing high amount of your bitcoin i don't recommend to storing it on online wallet, desktop or hardwallet is  more safe than online wallet.

Yeah online wallet isn't the best decisions when having a lot of BTC-you'd better go for a paper wallet which is one of the best wallets eithe way

I also have a few online wallets on exchanges.  Some of the coins that I trade are on very few exchanges and there are other coins that are on a different small set of exchanges.

Plus, online wallets, especially those on exchanges have minimum transfer amounts that you may drop below if you are actively trading and lose a little.

I Prefer Coinbase as it is transaction fee free.

I am using blockchain wallet,  I think it's simple & easy to beginner

i don't recommend people to storing their bitcoin on wallet that they can't controll the private key. wallets like coinbase or xapo can froze your money anytime if you do something against their rules like gambling. However if only for storing low amount or spendable amount i think it's not problem, just don't storing high amount or more than that you can afford to lose.

best bitcoin wallet for me is coinpayments because some revenue share sites want coinpayments for investments and i reccomend exchanger bleutrade because you can you him like a wallert and use it like wallet

This is my first time to heard that wallet. but according to the site just search in google and try to check their site looks like they are accepting almost 45 altcoin in their wallet including bitcoin..
For me its still not safe to use as wallet..

All coin wallets are good to use. I use blockchain and I am not having any problem with it.

Not all coin for me since i am using many wallets before just to test if what is the best i experience some problem before like in coinbase that my transaction is pending for long time it takes 1 week and half before its fix by coinbase if i dont follow up it maybe he can forget it..

I dont think it is the best wallet to use, dont save your bitcoin in exchanges its not safe
I prefer to use blokchain.info.

Fore me the best bitcoin wallets out their is Coinbase blockchain and xapo everyone of this wallets have something speciale and thats why i use them

Though online wallets are not as safe as offline wallets but they are better for a beginner and they are user friendly, and a new user wont understand the things about a offline wallet at all so it would be good for them to use a online wallet like blockchain.

Honestly i do not trust online wallets because anytime they can be crash.. better to use a good wallet like electrum wallet even you are paying fee you are in safe..

I dont think xapo and coinbase is the best online wallet
the best online wallet is blokchain at the moment.

I found coin.space for WP 10 and it was easy to use, but, like I said, too many wallets and that means too many TX fees and I even know of people that have forgotten about an online wallet with a few coins in it.

I prefer using multibit, i use since the beginning, but i'm considering changing to another wallet

Ever since I venture into Bitcoin, I have only used online wallets and specifically blockchain.info and I havent had any issue with the platform to date aside one day they were having down time. Even though I know its not totally safe like paper wallet but I am still looking for paper wallet for BTC, the one I have is for ETH as I have control over the key... So for beginners, online wallet is cool and for those that are transactions fee free is better...

i trust elevtrum wallrt and myceium wallet the most these two wallets are not highly functionsl like bitcoin core but are best light wallets for me you can also import or export your private keys too

I have a recommended wallet for every device :
laptop/PC: bitcoin core( if you love btc and want to support it) otherwise electrum/multibit is nice
iphone iOS: copay is probably the best on this.
Android: everyone loves mycelium.
windows phone: copay.

i first started using blockchain, then i was hearing alot about electrum so i switched. i like it because its lightweight but i wish they would put together a mobile app

For me its risky to use blockchain wallet because its online. for safety use hardware wallet or electrum wallet is more safe for me than others.

the best wallet for me blockchain

I use a Ledger wallet, soon to be upgrades to a Trezor 2.0 when it comes out. It's super-safe and very convenient to use.

If you're too poor to afford $15 to protect your bitcoin, use Electrum. But honestly, you don't need a wallet at all if you don't have $15 xD

i only use wallet from few market exchange, blockchain, and mycelium, and i think its a best bitcoin wallet to use because for bitcoin wallet itself is design to be a secure and safe wallet that will ready for member to use.
