Title: Re: Which client do you think I should download? Post by: elgreco on April 28, 2013, 02:46:58 AM Depending where you are in your bitcoin education, I wouldn't even download a wallet, I'd recommend creating a blockchain.info wallet.

Ditto They are sort of advanced and "if you need to ask you should just use blockchain.info " Title: h ah ah ah ahah ahah ahahha Post by: just_me on April 28, 2013, 04:55:33 AM ha ah ahahahaa hah ahahaha Title: Re: Which client do you think I should download? Post by: DannyHamilton on April 28, 2013, 05:28:44 AM Bitcoin is still in its infancy and all the wallets are a bit "quirky". They are lacking in some features, and you have to make sure you understand the wallet you choose, or a mistake can lead to losing your bitcoins. That being said, I'd suggest looking into the following:
Armory Bitcoin-Qt Electrum MultiBit https://blockchain.info/wallet Title: Re: Which client do you think I should download? Post by: elgreco on April 30, 2013, 08:01:02 PM "if you need to ask you should just use blockchain.info " That's a great way to put it. He means no disrespect with that either. When it's time to download a client, you'll know exactly which one you need. Title: Re: Which client do you think I should download? Post by: SquishySquish on April 30, 2013, 10:23:26 PM I tried bitcoin-qt, but that seemed to fuck up for me, but now I'm using Electrum and that's working like a charm
Title: Re: Which client do you think I should download? Post by: Quantum_Negatum on April 30, 2013, 10:54:03 PM Armory imo.
Title: Re: Which client do you think I should download? Post by: Techknowledgy on April 30, 2013, 11:38:50 PM Armory for savings and cold storage, Blockchain for spending money. That's what I do anyway.
Title: Re: Which client do you think I should download? Post by: solracx on April 30, 2013, 11:47:18 PM Multibit. Does not require downloading of the entire block chain.
Title: Re: Which client do you think I should download? Post by: jklp on April 30, 2013, 11:51:43 PM +1 for blockchain. Even though it's been compromised recently, it is still the most "non-dodgy" wallet.
Title: Re: Which client do you think I should download? Post by: nobbynobbynoob on April 30, 2013, 11:55:35 PM "My Wallet" at https://blockchain.info/wallet/ has already been suggested and is good for beginners. Enabling the two-factor authentication option is recommended for security.
If you have a little patience and are really keen on Bitcoin and thus eager to assist the Bitcoin network, and assuming you have reasonable computing resources to hand, i.e. no ten-year-old laptop running XP like molasses in the Yukon (in January during a cold snap!), then download Bitcoin-Qt from http://bitcoin.org/ (follow the links), install it, wait for the blockchain to sync up et voilą! The more you have this program running, the more you are assisting the network as a full node. For storing more than pocket change worth of bitcoin, an offline wallet is the best and safest option (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=17240.0). "Hot" wallets running live on your internet-connected computer are as secure as your computer itself. Beware viruses/malware! Title: Re: Which client do you think I should download? Post by: sniffinpoprocks on May 01, 2013, 12:13:51 AM I just use bitcoin-qt and keep a couple copies of my wallet file in different, secure, web and offline locations.
