Title: Im New. What wallet should i use? Post by: Taborresen on May 27, 2013, 09:27:21 PM Some of you have been around here for some time. Any preferred wallet i should use?
Title: Re: Im New. What wallet should i use? Post by: escrow.ms on May 27, 2013, 09:34:42 PM If you have good net speed and want to use it for regular use, download bitcoin-qt For more security : Armory Lightweight: Electrum/Multibit or online wallets.

Andy B Title: Re: Im New. What wallet should i use? Post by: Taborresen on May 27, 2013, 09:41:22 PM Thanks a lot :). I think i`ll go for Bitcoin-QT
Title: Re: Im New. What wallet should i use? Post by: phoxpup on May 27, 2013, 10:03:40 PM I like running the classic Bitcoin - Wallet. It is fast enough for my needs and functions as infrastructure for the bitcoin network by staying connected to ~8 other user's computers. Its great for people who can dedicate a machine for a single purpose and leav it on 24/7. :-)

See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=218040.0 as this site is probably a scam I wouldnt make a digital wallet, you can be never sure that your computer is clean. I made a PaperWallet at www.bitcoin-address.org and printed the paper wallet. This is the best method to secure bitcoins. Title: Re: Im New. What wallet should i use? Post by: BitcoinBoss on May 27, 2013, 10:30:10 PM I would use QT for my first wallet, just know you have to be very patient while it syncs to the network for the first time :)
Title: Re: Im New. What wallet should i use? Post by: pand70 on May 27, 2013, 10:33:38 PM I have tried only electrum and bitcoin-qt.
Between those two i 'm choosing electrum. Title: Re: Im New. What wallet should i use? Post by: pythonista on May 27, 2013, 10:49:33 PM Definitely check out Electrum if the thought of syncing gigabytes of transactions doesnt appeal to you.
Title: Re: Im New. What wallet should i use? Post by: rumpler on May 27, 2013, 11:36:06 PM I really like MultiBit,
It's only ~40mb with the blockchain downloaded. (It downloads a heavily stripped down version of the entire chain, and goes back for information on addresses it actually manages) It doesn't rely on an external server to host the blockchain (like Electrum) And it allows you to manage multiple wallet files so you can export only certain keys and use them on multiple devices (for petty cash on a phone, as an example. If you lose the phone, you already have the wallet open so you can move the coins out of it.) Title: Re: Im New. What wallet should i use? Post by: icarusholmes on May 28, 2013, 12:11:49 AM I prefer Electrum on Linux, but I've encountered bugs. Nothing that stops me from using it. Whatever you choose, remember to Back Up!
Title: Re: Im New. What wallet should i use? Post by: hasher87 on May 28, 2013, 12:30:51 AM bitcoin-qt, though its weird that after a while of using it, my balance arent the same as from the blockchain.info ???
Title: Re: Im New. What wallet should i use? Post by: shahrim on May 28, 2013, 02:02:54 AM bitcoin-qt for me!
Title: Re: Im New. What wallet should i use? Post by: Chez.Savage on May 28, 2013, 03:12:19 AM If you want something basic just go with the simplest one (in my mind) Bitcoin-Qt
Title: Re: Im New. What wallet should i use? Post by: abzaladin on May 28, 2013, 03:14:33 AM wallet on your phone or computer?
Title: Re: Im New. What wallet should i use? Post by: OpenYourEyes on May 28, 2013, 07:43:28 PM I wouldnt make a digital wallet, you can be never sure that your computer is clean. I made a PaperWallet at www.bitcoin-address.org and printed the paper wallet. This is the best method to secure bitcoins. DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE If you have sent funds to an address provided by this service, transfer your BTC out before he does. See: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=218040.0 Title: Re: Im New. What wallet should i use? Post by: moxiefoxie31416 on May 28, 2013, 07:53:10 PM I use blockchain. When logged in, you can access graphs of your account history, such as final balance or the number of transactions per day.
Title: Re: Im New. What wallet should i use? Post by: CoinGuard on May 28, 2013, 07:56:34 PM I personally use MultiBit as it's fast and small for my needs. But i'm in the process of still downloading the full blockchain with QT.
Title: Re: Im New. What wallet should i use? Post by: Mr_Teal on May 28, 2013, 08:12:35 PM Does Armory use the full blockchain?
Title: Re: Im New. What wallet should i use? Post by: BitSparts All in 1 on May 28, 2013, 08:22:52 PM try using wallet app, it's more safed /s
Title: Re: Im New. What wallet should i use? Post by: ezacarias on May 28, 2013, 09:05:07 PM Any suggestions for an Android version of the Wallet.
Title: Re: Im New. What wallet should i use? Post by: PurpleTentacle on May 29, 2013, 06:33:15 AM I'm using blockchain.info too. Does anyone know how to change the address that is shown in "wallet home"? I'd like to use a new address for every tx.
Title: Re: Im New. What wallet should i use? Post by: yolk on May 29, 2013, 08:20:53 AM I personally have been trying a bunch and I've found that I do prefer an online service. But hey - I'm just a newbie.
Title: Re: Im New. What wallet should i use? Post by: The 4ner on May 29, 2013, 08:35:58 AM If you have the space I recommend using Bitcoin-Qt.
Title: Re: Im New. What wallet should i use? Post by: yolk on May 29, 2013, 10:06:50 AM Here's a question:
when using Bitcoin-Qt; are there still transaction fees involved when sending BTC? Title: Re: Im New. What wallet should i use? Post by: PurpleTentacle on May 29, 2013, 10:58:50 AM Here's a question: when using Bitcoin-Qt; are there still transaction fees involved when sending BTC? As I understand it, you can avoid transaction fees with every bitcoin client or online wallet. They just might take a lot longer to confirm and 0.0005 BTC is really only about 0.05-0.07 $ |
