Bitcoin Forum

*sorry if this topic is not suitable here,but i need help.

Hi,
I am using coinbase since from the start. But now i want to change my bitcoin wallet. Since coinbase disabled the sign message option for the users,i want to leave them permanent and badly need a secure wallet for my hardly earned bitcoin.

I don't want to download the full blockchain, and don't know which wallet is safe and easy for me.So please help me out.

I have only coinbase wallet, i never used any other wallet.

In my country we use coins.ph because it is the safest wallet that we can store our bitcoin if you're currency is peso. But there is one more wallet I know. It's blockchain wallet. I have an account on that site they says that it's safe to store bitcoin there. But I haven't tried storing bitcoin on that wallet but I could say it's safe because of the feedbacks that I have read.

Ofcoure me to , my wallet is coin.ph here in the philippines becuase this is the popular wallet in our country and so much safe to store your money here , but my friend says coin base or coin ph. Is good.

I know about coinph but i don't want to use any wallet that i don't have control over my wallet private keys.
But thanks for replying and for your suggestion.

Anyone else have any recommend for me? seems blockchain wallet is safe,should i go for it?

I'm using electrum wallet since hard fork bitcoin occur and I find it very useful because I control my private key and it supported sign message, Electrum is the best bitcoin wallet for me. Mycellium also looks cool with the same feature to electrum but I highly suggest electrum because I have a good experience on it.

i think blockchain will be one of your options to use another wallet besides coinbase. i don't like coinbase die to that reason. blockchain is your solution, you don't need to download the full blockchain and the users allowed to make a sign message for every transaction.

Thanks for your suggestion mate.
did you mean https://electrum.org/#download  ?
I can see this is a desktop wallet,so guessing that i need to download the whole blockchain? This is quite difficult for me to download 100+ GB blockchain data.


That seems to be more easy than any other wallet.

No, you don't need to download the whole blockchain that's for offline wallets not this one is software and online.

Blockchain.info is a really good wallet, but keep in mind the pirvate keys are stored on the blockchain servers. so in the end you have to trust them

yes the private key wallet blockchain is stored on the blockchain server, but if you want to have your own private key wallet, why not try to buy ledger or trezor :)
It is very easy to use and very secure ;D

I using coin.ph becuase this is our trusted and safest wallet in our country here in philippines , or coinbase but i know thatany wallets now are danger so be carefull always think about finding and choosing wallet . :)

Yep. there is available offline wallet for electrum wallet that low file size. You can choose here base on the type of your OS. https://electrum.org/#download (https://electrum.org/#download)
There's also available android wallet on playstore for easy use. you must try it.  ;)

wallet coin.ph is also great for storing bitcoins and now they have refferal programs that can give us bonuses.
but I prefer mycelium because it is simple and safe to use is not afraid of phishing attacks or hackers.

Use a paper wallet for cold storage. And use electrum for online storage.
never use web wallets, as you dont really own the coins in there.

I too am using the electrum wallet. As being new to bitcoin and crypro I am not sure of all the features but I have read here that it is very populate and reputable. I can see all the different wallet addresses for receiving and indeed I can control the private keys and seeds.

Like @dynospytan, I used coins.ph not only that it is safe. It is a very easy to access especially cashing out our Bitcoin. Though, I also trying to get an electrum wallet since a friend of my recommended it to me. According to him, it is much safer since I hold all the keys to access it. Unfortunately, I haven't got time to study it first before using it.

i think this not good place for sugestion u can search on google and youtube for a safe and gud wallet

I use coins.ph because im filipino this is the famous bitcoin wallet to our country. And other use blockchain, coinbase and xapo those wallet are universal or worldwide wallet.

I'm a coins.ph user also but I'm not feeling secure using it especially when storing huge amount of BTC, They didn't support sign message and no private available so that you can access your asset on any other wallet with just importing private key. I think coins.ph is not advisable to suggest here since it didn't what OP is looking out for an ideal wallet that he like.

Copay is a very user-friendly bitcoin wallet.

Exodus is the nicest multi-wallet.

If you seek security maybe Trezor would be a good solution for you.

Actually I used to wear Coinbase.Coinbase is a good and safety Wallet.so i suggest you.you can used coinbase wallet.that its good.

I would recommend Exodus.io, its a desktop wallet
with support for a growing number of alt currencies
and of course Bitcoin.

You can also trade among the supported currencies
in Exodus via Shapeshift.

With Exodus you control the private keys and can back
up the wallet, something you cannot do with exchange
or online wallets!

Surprised nobody recommended it but I really like Jaxx wallet. It holds several other crypto currencies, and it also has an integration with shapeshift so you can directly exchange coins within your wallet. But I wouldn't recommend that feauture unless you're in a real hurry cuz shapeshift isn't very cheap. Anyway... Jaxx gives you your private keys of course. You can set mining fees when transferring your money too. And is also pretty secure. You must give it a try. Has several other features.

Recommend electrum, which is easy to use and secure. No need to download the whole blockchain! You can sign the message as well. You just backup the seed and will be safe.

I don't like offline wallets so I'm using Blockchain and Xapo. This e-wallets which are proven over the years and you will never lose access to them. It seems to me that they are more secure than offline wallets to be accessed, you may lose physically or because of a virus.

I recommend electrum since it can do anything for example : sign message, pay to many feature , many type of wallet etc
It's simple and easy to install , trust me when blockchain disable "pay to many" feature, electrum become my main wallet for now but becareful for any phising site since you need to install on your computer

I'm using coins.ph for storing my bitcoins but like the other's said I'm not always secure and protected at all the time because it don't produce or it does not have private key just like other wallets which makes wallet and of course the amount it holds the more secure for me and the all of us. I've tried to use electrum wallet which is more secure than other wallet that I've been used. All you have to do is keep your wallet seed at private key. Also be careful with its wallet address and private key, you may interchange the two.

i think Coinbase is good but the fee so high , you can try blockchain.info , electrum or bitcoin core , i think this very safe and user friendly ..

Where are you from? Doesn't your country have a national wallet that most of your people use? I am from the Philippines and we have a bitcoin wallet provider used by most of us that provides various options in terms of buying, selling, or converting our bitcoins to fiat. Coinbase wallet's security is enough and I do not understand on why you have issues with it. Be reminded that some wallets are susceptible of scams and coinable has already proven itself to be one of the most reliable wallets out there.

Im using blockchain for long now and I havent encountered any problem so far. Yes electrum is safe and secured you can used this wallet. These are the bitcoin wallet I can suggest.

Since you're already using coinbase, I assume that you like having your wallet online. I personally use blockchain.info, you can import your own address and sign messages. I use a custom imported address in blockchain.info and mainly use that one instead of the built in wallet address,

coinbase and blockchain could fit for beginner bitcoin ! dont try xapo because it is to much fee !

I recommend you try Coinmi. Its a very light weight wallet, you don't have to download the whole blockchain. Also its secure because the keys are stored on your device not their . They also support60+ cryptocurrencies with a built in exchange!. So far I don't have any problems with conimi except for that its only available for mobile devices.

I recommend GreenAddress as they have the best features and fantastic devs that are active with their CS, not that it's really ever necessary haha. They even have nLocktime!

There are only few bitcoin wallets that i know. First is the blockchain wallet, that's the first wallet that i've known once i heard bitcoin. I think blockchain is secure because me as a user of blockchain bitcoin wallet, i've never encountered an error before so that's why i suggest it. Second is coins.ph wallet. It stores bitcoin and also very easy to use, its the one that i used because its the most used here in our country and iare recommended for us bitcoin users.

If you have good amount of BTC you should invest in a hardware wallet, if its not a huge amount you can use blockchain wallet been using it for a while now without any issues just be sure to do all the security steps to make your wallet secure.

I have an idea that you start trying to secure various coins using blockchain wallets from robbers so that losses are not too big and make us feel more calm.

Dont use any wallet that is on the internet if you are going to store a good amount of money. I use blockchain to store amounts less than 3 btc, and then i have a good part of my bitcoins in my offline wallet, it is the most safest place to store my bitcoins, i have the private key on a paper and it is super safe. And for altcoins, use a led ger nano too, or just store them on myetherwallet.

 I am using coins.ph wallet too because it the wallet that we can do transactions in our country. From btc to php..but I think there ia one more that is popular wallet , it is etherium or ETH wallet, it is a safe wallet as well. I Knew some people who said they like to use ETH wallet.

Hey. Personally, I've been using Blokchain.info for more than six months now and I'm not complaining. Very convenient to use and safe with a bunch of ways to protect. So try it, you will not regret it.

yes here is same situation i also use blockchain.info and tell now i have face no problem

I recommend you use electrum as a wallet, based on my experience electrum has many advantages especially in terms of security, this makes the results that I have obtained is stored well in the wallet.

i think coinpot recently launched is best micro wallet

Electrum is the best IMO. I've been using a number of wallets including QT, which turned out to be extremely annoying in the long run, armory, which was ok, although not as simple as I'd like it to be. I've also used multibit for a while, but it's no longer supported and updated.

I have to agree to this as it is actually the only wallet being used by most of the people in the Philippines. And to add to that, it is actually not just a wallet but also an account where in you can cash out easily bitcoin in different ways and as well as pay different utilities like electricity through it. In short, it is like a Bitcoin wallet with the characteristics of paymaya in one account.

Electrum wallet is my recommendation.

In my country, we use coins.ph. This is the most recommended wallet here in Philippines. However, I'm not quite sure what bitcoin wallet do other countries use. I guess you can check out xapo wallet, I'm not sure if it is still existing. Because I use xapo wallet 4 years ago for storing my bitcoins for gambling.

Electrum wallet is very lite and easy to use and its security is also very good, Electrum being desktop wallet you can create as many address and you will also get the private key for each address. It is very easy to use you just have to remember the passphrase(seed key) and any where you can download and install it with this seed key.

I suggest krypto Kit Chrome extension or Coinomi. In my opinion blockchain has the best wallet.

for now i using local bitcoin exchanger wallet, cheap & free if transaction to the same exchanger. if you using a regular hot wallet the transaction fees was very high.

I will recommed you to use blockchain.info really good wallet for saving bitcoins, they added Ethereum also to that wallet and options to protect your wallet are really good 2FA, secret phrase, email confirmation

Well, I will recommend Luno Bitcoin wallet for now coz that's what I am using at the moment. It is quite safe and secure. The transaction fees are also relatively ok at the moment. You can try look it up and give it a trial too.

Try Exodus it's a good wallet and you can get your private keys has more then just bitcoin.

I will suggest electrum wallet for pc and mycelium wallet for android platform. you can still find other p[laatform wallets at www.bitcointalk.org. some wallets can take time extream memory on your computer or phone. but mycelium and electrum wallet are two most lightweight bitcoin wallet out there. There is not much hassle but the only thing is the security as we know a real wallet you always provide you with a private and public key so keep an eye on that too.

Electrum and blockchain.info are the best if you are looking for better options than coinbase. These two are convenient ,having better features and easily available for almost all operating systems. However their transaction fee is a little bit high than others but they are much better in use.

I highly recommend blockchain and electrum, I use blockchain from first know bitcoin and for electrum I just used it less / more probably about a year and I have never had a problem on either. I know coinbase has long disabled the signed message why did you realize now if you have long used coinbase?

I recommend to use blockchain wallet, It's one of securest web wallets in the internet.
It's too easy to send transactions with it, you can manipulate your bitcoins easily. I have also the app on my phone. I just open the app by using my finger print, so it's hardly to be hacked. Futhermore, bitcoin transactions fees in this wallet are seems to be low compared to other web wallets.

I agree with you. Even though there are many people do not like online wallet, blockchain.info still do the best to provide a good environment for the customers to hold their bitcoin without any difficulty. It is very easy to log into your account and send bitcoin. Usually, everything takes only less than 5 minutes. Offline wallet is also a good option. However, if you are not good in computer, dont use it, your mistake may reveal the password and the private key to the hackers

I'm using blockchain wallet it has a really nice looking website and a mobile version which you can pair with a QR code. It's really secure with the 2 step auth and i love the fact that everytime you recieve a payment in your wallet they generate a different address making it impossible for people to track your account funds.

I advise you to use Blockchain. It's an online wallet with android app, private keys, 2FA and you can swap your bitcoins to ETH easily.

I think coinbase is the best.
There is no credibility here.
If you think about it, coinbase is good.
There is no problem in trading here.
Quick trading can be done.

Go for ledger nano hardware wallet. That is the best hardware wallet as of now because it supports different cryptocurrency also and not only bitcoin and that is why that is the most recommended wallet for the people who are looking for a safe place for their long term holdings in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. If you are really serious in investing in bitcoin then you should consider being serious at bitcoin wallets too.

Bitcoin wallets are many. However, most people use coinbase, blockchin, xapo, electram. Easy wallet can be called coinbase. It can be easily traded in wallets. We do not have to buy / sell in the country because it is not seen. However, coinbase can be sold directly.

You must choose your wallet according to those three conditions :

1- the security of funds.
2- the speed of transactions.
3- the value of the fees.

Knowing that there is any wallet that has the 3 qualities, to do that you have to choose a balanced wallet.

If you travel too often and do not always get on the computer, the online wallets will do you good. But the most secure is the Wallet, which is the with private key.

What? I can see you are clueless. The speed of transactions and the value of fees have nothing to do with a wallet. Speed depends on the fee you pay and the network load and the fee itself can be changed with each transaction sent. Learn about wallets first before you start to advise others.

Actually, there are lot of bitcoin wallet that you could use. In addition to that, in the philippines or in my country we use Coins.ph to keep our bitcoin safe and sucure. It is online wallet and I suggest to use some offline wallet that you need to install to your computer.

I guess all online wallets made for bitcoin are safe because I never heard anyone here complaining to a lost bitcoin because of using a wrong wallet its just a !matter of proper safekeeping and having a strong encryption so that no one will be able to decode your wallet and steel your bitcoin. But I am using a blockchain wallet and coins.ph

I agree! And yet  -  Trezor is absolutely safe hardware purse for bitcoin. At the moment this is one of the best solutions for those who care about their safety in the world of crypto currency.

I would suggest you some light weight wallets for your PC (Guessing you are on pc).
I would not use online Wallets to store Bitcoins on it.
Electrum seems to do the job for you.
A Hardware Wallet could also be suitable for you.

I really think OP gets the idea of what kind of wallet is really good and secure because of the many people reply to him, well in my opinion and suggestion web wallets like coinbase are really secure and it is the most simplest wallet to use out there but in the impending hardfork your coins may be at risk in storing with web wallets, you would surely need Private Keys to make sure your bitcoin would be 100% safe and by hodling to your bitcoin after the hard fork you can surely get free coins because of doing that.

i suggest blockchain it's good and easy to use, it's very secure also. because in my expirience all i can say is it's very very secure. I uninstall my blockchain wallet application many times then install it again and i always retreive my funds. so try this one you never regret it.

i have coins.ph also but when i expirience some transaction failed it is hard to trust again, maybe a little bit trust because i use coins.ph now for the cash out only, For now my main wallet is blockchain.

If you don't want to pay about 89 Euro for a coldstorage wallet but still want to have a good secure wallet with low fee I think you should use Electrum. It's an offline wallet and you can easily export or import the privatekey. Beside you can set up the amount you want to pay for the transaction fee. But if you want to use a web wallet with low transaction fee I think Coinbase is good option for you. This is my suggestion for you but coldstorage is the best secure wallet thay why its price a little bit high.

Hi, i am now currently using Electrum as my wallet, it is very lightweight and they also developed a portable version which you can use anytime and anywhere (of course it depends on the OS that you will use and you will download) they also provide change addresses, Check it out.

You are wrong to say coins.ph safe. Because it's cheating on converting our money nearly 300 $ the fee for converting 1 BTC to PHP is it justified? Especially if holding a huge amount of money they will pull you out and ask me where it comes from. The bad thing is that they will not bring it back to you even if your words are right, The coins.ph are worthless

$300 fee for converting BTC1 to PHP? ??? What do you mean here? Mind posting proofs so we can get enlightened. Im using coins.ph too for withdrawal purposes.

Also you know why they are asking questions about huge money? If there is a continous huge money that their users is receiving, it will triggered the alarm that something is kinda breached their security. Remember that local exchangers in PH is facing the policy of AMLA and it's mandatory for them to question their clients about where those big monies come from. It's a law. I have been asked back then because of my regular withdrawals of BTC1 every 2 weeks and I told them politely where my funds came from with proofs. The conversation was ended smoothly without any problem.

Blockchain also can offer sign message but only for old address before the blockchain update his wallet. You can also use coinb.in there you can save private key and use sign message very easy to use.

As always, just only used online exchangers to make withdrawals and conversion of money.

Online exchangers are good in terms of useful services that we can do on our bitcoin but for storage purposes it's not wise. Just enjoy the benefits of their services and never treat that as your precious storage to your wonderful bitcoins.

Me too coin.ph I used here our country Philippines is safiest wallet here where I store bitcoin, easy to exchange our currency here. But I think many wallet you may use disctop wallet, blackchain wallet etc. As long as suit with your country.

You can use block chain wallet for security.  Or if you want to have more secured wallet then download a hardware wallet. You can also use portable wallet, usb type( ex: Ledger Nannos). Etc.

QT Forevaaaaaa!

The most secure wallet I know would be those USB hardware wallet like Trezor and Nano but if you still can't afford those yet use an offline wallet or a wallet that you can download on your laptop. I personally like Jaxx.io though aside from the USB hardware wallet.

Blockchain is the best i think.Although most of the time i use https://myetherwallet.com this wallet is always safe i think.Sometimes i use https://coinbase.com actually coinbase is not wallet it's a exchanger.

Wow, i thought it was only my friend who got worried about this issue and decided to change wallets. Glad I didn’t decide to use coinbase as a wallet for my hard earned bitcoins. Because if i did, i would be having the same problems.

My suggestion would be the airbitz wallet because it is safe and has worked out for me so far. Plus it gives you the privilege to make multiple wallets securely and easily. And the best part is that it supports the segwits that may take place in the future. Including the one coming this november.

Goodluck op.

i suggest you to use mysellium wallet this is safest wallet to because theres have security like word phase...choose wallet carefully and also theres are private key for your safety..

If you are came from the Philippines I suggest you to use the coins.ph wallet because I know that it is the best wallet in our country and also it is the most safest wallet for me

The bitcoin wallet I am using right now is coins.ph. only if you are from the Philippines, you can use this wallet. Well you might wanna search about mycellium. My friend says it is one of the best wallet there is.

Electrum is the best light weight wallet out there.It will be useful if you don't have much memory on your system.It doesn't download the whole blockchain but a part of it in which your wallet transactions are there.
You can also download other wallets like Bitcoincore if you want to download the whole blockchain on your computer.Mycelleium is best for android.Bread wallet is also one good wallet out there for you to check.

It is not the safest wallet in the Phillipines but it is the wallet that is being used by many people. That's the perfect description of coins.ph. many account holders I've heard said that their account was held by coins.

Good point i also not seeing sign message option in coinbase wallet. How to do now. Is it safe for us at present . If anybody demand my wallet address is his. Then what i do. So please a i also want a suggestion about bitcoin wallet security.

I think it's better to keep it in the onsite market. In addition you can save you also can sell in the exchange. Safer and easier to compare with wallet off

Actually I use blockchain and didn't face with any problem yet. Maybe you should consider.

I don't think your bitcoins are secured if you have no access to private key. I would strongly recommend blockchain because this wallet supports all these features.
Previously blockchain added ethereum and now they recently introduced buy fuction.
You can even exchange internally between these two available currencies or buy directly.
Blockchain is almost a secure wallet with dual 2FA.

Bitcoin wallet best depends on security and low cost and easily used. I think blockchain,xapo,coinbase is the best wallet on bitcoin.otherperson did not access faced on varifocation.

I also use it but it seems until now I haven't gotten that big problem, hopefully no big problems going forward :)

All types of wallets are risky but I recommend you continue to use the wallet as coinbase, blockchain,....  If you want to use the service with low fee you can use poloniex.  Using hard purses is not without risk so think hard.

I am recommending blockchain wallet for you to use. I have problem using coinbase when I started bitcoining. I don't know if it is just me or what, but my addresses there are changing, and I got confused on how to use it, so I changed to blockchain's wallet. And used also my country's app, coins.ph.

I'm using a hardware wallet for my Bitcoin. For me it's more risky to store it online. 8)

There are hundreds of wallets available online, why would you ask some strangers for advice?
Do your homework - research internet, compare different reviews, listen to professionals!

I'm also preferred in the blockchain wallet but if your country have an own wallet you should use it because it is easy to use it and you can communicate to their support easily if their is a problem that happens.

Asking advice is also kind of homework, how could you listen to professionals if you don't ask?  ;D.

Just give a better idea for people who ask help and the answers maybe can also help to thus who also has this kind of concern.

---

I used coins.ph for a long time and this is my trusted wallet partner sense I enter here.

Ya. I suggest blockchain too. I also dont like coinbase.
I used blockchain from starting i know bitcoin. Its working fine so far.

Electrum is the best choice I would say. Easy, safe and secure.

I read the theme, thanks to all of you. Didn't think there are so many troubles, but the picture started to form in my head.

Before I can suggest you a Bitcoin wallet, where do you want to store your Bitcoin? Computer/laptop or phone? What phone do you use? iOS devices or Android?
If you want to store your Bitcoin on computer/laptop and don't want to download the full blockchain then I will suggest you to use Electrum, it's safe and lite wallet.
If you want to store your Bitcoins on phone and have iOS device, I will suggest BreadWallet since it's one of the safest wallet out there for phone.
Unfortunately I dont have any wallet recommendation for Android devices since I do not use them.
Cheers

The wallet tgat I suggest to you is coins.ph. It is proven and tested for me because there's a lot people I know using this app. Theres a lot of things that you can do here like paying a bills, send and receive money, and also buy load, and many more. I gope you will try this app.

The wallet that I suggest to you is coins.ph. It is proven and tested for me because there's a lot people I know using this app. Your money will be safe here. There's a lot of things that you can do here like paying a bills, send and receive money, and also buy load, and many more. I hope you will try this app.

I like a lot electrum. You can even use bitkey.io which is a USB Linux with electrum inside and when you start it you can choose automatically to disconnect internet so you have a real cold wallet. You sign TX and put it in a USB memory and you broadcast it after restarting PC with watch only account.

cold wallets are safe for the bitcoin.

I usually use wallet Blockchain.info because this wallet is very safe and very easy to use. I like blockchain because now blockchain can also to save Ethereum.

on my country we have our own wallet and I'm prefer used this just because it is easy and no hassle to use blockchain good to use but for easy and convenient way own wallet I am using.

There are a couple of good wallets both online and offline and the fees are high and the terms and conditions are rough. Most of them do not have legal rights to operate to USA customers and that only stops about half of them. That means that if you are lucky enough to get on those and get approved, then they can easily bail on your cash, as they have no legal responsibility to you as you have broken the law in doing business with them .

Actually speaking about bitcoin wallet- I used to coinbase, but there is a lot of time account issue at coinbase, so I think blockchain account is much better. Many of my friends use blockchain account..For Philippines Many people use coin.ph wallet, coin.ph in their country is very popular, now using many electrum wallet, I do myself,,Electrum is the best bitcoin wallet for me,so i suggest everyone to use blockichain or electrum wallet,.,.,,, :-X :-X :-X

if u r a micro trader thn use coinpot the best micro wallet.

Depending on your needs but I would suggest Mycelium, do far the best wallet I've tried. Easy and convenient to use, you can control the fees. Electrum is also good, many users are satisfied with it. But I would suggest to avoid web based wallets like blockchain. At first seemed to be good but actualy it has a lot of issues.

The beat bitcoim wallet that I know is the coins.ph.Coins.ph is an online bitcoin walletbin where you can keep your bitcoin and in where you can sell a load and got an interest for every transaction that you do.

It holds several other crypto currencies, and it also has an integration with shapeshift so you can directly exchange coins within your wallet.
which makes wallet and of course the amount it holds the more secure for me and the all of us

The best bitcoin wallet that I know is the coins.ph.Coins.ph is an online bitcoin wallet in where when you do transactions you can also gain an intetest for every transaction that you will be doing .

Well coinbase wallet is good one to continue with,even i am using it from long time and then i stopped  using them  for disabling the sign message.
For now i am using the Unocoin exchange and their services which is working smoothly and the second option is ZEBPAY app . This both are quite good and their fees is also less for me, as i am a Indian resident and this two are the best wallet for Indians. I request you to try this wallet for once and if you feel comfortable then you can continue with it.

Are crypto wallets better if you're in certain countries?

You can use Electrum.

If you do not control the key, you do not control the coins. I would suggest that you buy a hardware wallet like trezor or Ledger nano. That way you can securely store your bitcoin.

I think every wallet allowing you to export your private keys is good, especially if you are aware about your device safety. Without the access to your private keys you don't really own the bitcoins and its not safe. Thats why stay away from the exchangers wallets and most part of the online wallet.
You can download Electreum wallet for example, it is safe and easy to use.

The rare exception of this that I would argue is Coinbase. I have seen a lot of older heads shit on Coinbase, and I will agree it has the problems attendant of any hosted wallet (you truly dont own the coins people, unless you have the keys. Byt with the security and the insurance, you could do a lot worse in this sphere. Coinbase is the closest we get to the FDIC here in crypto, take advantage of that. Unfortunately, they require full AML?KYC to use correctly, so its not the most private way to store your coins.

I used coins.ph to store all my bitcoins, try to use it if you can access on this site. Create an account in the coins.ph and see the full details here or search on how to use it. It is very easy to use, convenient, you can store more bitcoins but it has cashed out limit. They limit it to avoid abusing this wallet. It is also web-based wallet so you can access it anytime you want.

It depends on which kind of wallets you prefer. There are basically 3 main kinds of wallets: web wallet, software wallet (both for mobile and for for desktops) and hardware wallets. In my opinion the best choice is software wallet and in particular Electrum. But if you prefer web wallets, my best choice would be blockchain.info. But keep in mind web wallets can be more risky (they could be hacked, etc.)

I use Blockchain.info, i think this wallet is very safe, you can try this wallet, or you can try coinbase too, but the fee is too high ;D

Blockchain.info wallet isn't safe, unfortunately. You don't control your private keys so they can be stolen even if you enable 2FA. Web based wallets aren't safe. There's a plenty of software which allows you to control your own private keys such as Bitcoin Core, Electrum, paper wallets or even hardware wallets which are pretty expensive but I would recommend them to anyone.

I use a blockchain wallet, because mainly it is very simple and fast. You don't have to download anything not even a private key. You need only your adress id to log in with your password.

You can also just store your wallet locally, but takes a great risk. Hackers can easily take your private key and they have already your wallet. With Blockchain they need to have to hack the site. Well would be very difficult i think.

Electrum for PC and mycelium for Android (smartphones). Those two are the best on its own segment I would say. Both are lightweight wallet, easy to access, give you control to your private key, and mycelium is compatible with third-party cold storage devices like Trezor and KeepKey.

I have been using those two wallets for more than three years and it is always a pleasure. Never had any problem. Just make sure you always keep your devices safe from malware.

If you’re looking for bitcoin wallet for long term HODLing it should be hardware wallet like Trezor and ledger.
For it is the most secured way of storing bitcoin for it is offline and not necessarily part of cp or computer that if having technical problems about them hardware is not affected at all.

But if your looking for daily used bitcoin wallet, electrum would be the best option and mycelium and if I were you, you can even used them both and stored halfway so it’s a much easier for you and much practical that way. If one have problem not all your bitcoin will be all gone.

Not all  wallet online is safe to use but if you’re experiencing no problem at all, make used to it. It is instant and much hassle free.

I don't think you have a reason to worry with conbase in any way. They are an old company and a trusted one. However, if you really want to move to another secure wallet, then try offline version of electrum wallet. Here you don't have to download the full blockchain. You wallet will be connected to a central server where the blockchain will be downloaded and you just need to connect to that. I have been using it for sometime now and never have any problem till date. It also supports multiple payments against a single fee.

I agree with avikz.

I use both Coinbase and Electrum and both have served me well.

However, if there is an upcoming fork, it's better to move the money off an exchange to your own wallet such as Electrum.

Hi! Here in our place we are using COINS.PH. We chose this one considering its featured third party service providers which are mostly available in our country.

I think that the best option for you if you are a newbie is to use blockchain wallet, or maybe coinbase, those are the best if you are just starting and dont know where to put your funds. But when you have some budget, spend it on an offline wallet, this will make your coins 100% more secure, and you will have the full control of it, so it is better to invest a little bit more, but have more safety on your coins.

It depends on the country where you live, in my country, I use vip.bitcoin.co.id because many bitcoin Indonesia users are using it. there we can buy or sell bitcoin and make altcoin with bitcoin or use local currency. there are still many bitcoin purses that can be used, for example coinbase, block.io, and blockchain.

Yeah there are so many local exchanges that are good to use and I'm using an exchange that is only dedicated to our country. But for other bitcoin wallets I only suggest very few ones, for a web wallet you can use blockchain.info and for a desktop wallet electrum is the best choice for me also there is greenaddress if you want to try it out, just don't use store most of your coins at an exchange.

It's depend where your location at. For i used Coin.ph it excellent wallet and all my earning bitcoin deposited in this wallet. Many virtual wallet application are available in play app and their are trusted. But i cannot recommend you which wallet are good to you it is depend to what you choose based on your location.

he already know about coins.ph stop talking  coins.ph our trusted wallet here in philippines he did not asking what wallet our using here did you get that? it's useless because i thought he's not a filipino, gave him a nice comment instead of talking like that ok? and gave him a suggest about your recomended wallet for him.

As a bitcoin user we must have a wallet as a place to save our bitcoin and do exchange with the wallet. I recommend some wallet that has been trusted and has a good security system.

1. Blockchain
Blockchain is the technology behind Bitcoin's turnaround itself, so its superiority as a provider of Bitcoin wallet is definitely beyond doubt.

2. Coinbase
Coinbase is a Bitcoin wallet provider site based in San Francisco, USA. Coinbase's credibility and functionality is not much different from Blockchain.

3. Xapo
Xapo not only operates as a Bitcoin wallet provider, but also a Faucet site that can provide free Bitcoin to users.

Here are some wallets that can be used to store our bitcoin. please choose what you think is best.

With online wallet I think Coinbase is a good one. Don't use Xapo wallet cause you will have to pay too much fee, both deposit and withdrawal fee so when someone send you small amount of Bitcoin about 0.0001 - 0.0003 you will not receive anything, it's just enough to pay the deposit fee. Beside if you wanna  use offline wallet you should try Electrum, with Electrum there are some option for you to choose for example two-authentication wallet, multi-signature wallet,....and with Electrum you can set up the amount you wanna pay for transaction fee, it's very convinient but when you use Electrum two-authentication wallet you will have to pay additional fee for the secure level.

I advise you to use blockchain wallet. It's an online wallet and you get your private keys. Now you can store btc and eth in it.

I signed up first using Coinbase but it was a hassle, now I am using MyEtherWallet and its much easier to use

I think the best wallet is the one released by bitcoin core. though if you want a lightweight you can use electrum or multibit but I woud prefer electrum over multibit HD because of the availability to extract private key.  Web wallet is good but there is more risk using it than the one we installed in our desktop.

If you want a trusted wallet coinbase is rhe best but in our country coin.ph is trusted so that's why many people in our country like me used this coin.ph but it's up to you if you want coinbase.

I'm Suggest you to use Blockchin. It is very easy to use.

I don’t think that it is now risky to hold bitcoin because there are a lot of the bitcoin wallets available in the market and the changes of the bitcoin is occurring in the change of the bitcoin wallet the hardware wallet is the good and the secured wallet, I am using the blockchain and the other wallets such as the paper wallet and the online wallets.

Coinbase has more advantages as compared to any other online wallets it security protocols are unbreakable and the transaction fees of this wallet are also low as compared to other coin wallet, think sensibly before making choice for the wallet and see your requirement if fulfilled then add coins into it, beware of scammers and thieves out their they can take all your coins so choose wisely.

good recommendations for me try and it seems very safe to use, now I have not more information about this wallet, maybe later I will find the information in this forum

I am also using a Blockchain.info wallet for the past several years. Till now I have not faced any issue with them. But I have seen a few threads here, warning users against using Blockchain.info. For me the biggest advantage with Blockchain.info is that I can set the fee manually. And at the same time, I can also export the private keys in text format.

There are many kinds of wallet like online and offline wallet. In addition to that, some people prefer to use online wallet because it is very easy to use than in offline wallet and if you want to use or access offline wallet you need to install it to your computer or laptop.

It depends on which exchange you have your money. Because during last hardfork (Bitcoin Cash) exchanges weren't accepting deposits for a very long time. I would advise you to look which exchange is going to support Bitcoin Gold/Segwit2X hardfork and move your bitcoins there. As far as I remember BCH was worth about 50% of BTC price at the beginning. I sold it for about 20% of BTC price.

Personally I have found Mycelium to be good in the past, though I think they have taken a hit to their reputation recently.

Paper wallet is the way to go for me.

There are so many wallet that you can use for your bitcoin like blockchain.info and xapo bitcoin online wallet. Blockchain wallet also add the ethereum coins so you can hold ethereum funds in that wallet as well. And for the advance user choose exodus for desktop wallet , jaxx and coinomi wallet.
Safety Reminder: Always keep your private key in safe place!

well there are a lot of bitcoin wallets that can sign a message like blockchain.info and if you are using smartphone them use mycelium or coinomi i tried those 2 wallets they are capable signing and verifying messages and they are very lightweight too. but if you want use and download bitcoin core but it is longer and they eat up a lot of space in the hard disk.

Jaxx is the most famous and one of the most reliable once right now. For ultimate security, its best to have your own wallet installed on a PC not connected to the internet.

You don't have to download the whole transaction data to keep your bitcoins secure. Electrum is a lightweight wallet for Bitcoin which instead of downloading, connect you to a Bitcoin node which takes care of it for you. The only thing you have to do is to use a strong password which will protect your wallet from hackers and any unauthorized attempts to access it.

If you don't hold your bitcoin wallets private keys then Coins.ph is not safe at all. Coinsph is only good for cashing out i don't recomend it for storing your bitcoin. I suggest you use electrum or put it in a hardwallet.

You can use blockchain or coinbase from any part of the world!!

They are quite safe also.

i ll suggest you to use blockchain wallet, because i also use that one and that ll also suggest to me by my friends.it is vesyy secure and is a simple way to use.if you forget their password then u ll change it by many ways.it is so secure.

i suggest you to have multiple wallet on differente devices, i think it's most secur for your coins.
But you can't do that with all altcoins.

Ethereum wallet. Your wallet needs a way to communicate with the Ethereum network. Just like an email, you can give anyone your email address and with a cryptocurrency
you can give them your public address. There is a second part to your wallet and this is your private key. All someone needs to know to send you money is your public address. The one thing you should never share is your private key. If someone gets access to your private key, they could steal all your coins.

From my own experience i found Xapo and Exodus to be very nice wallet. I had Blockchain wallet but it charged fees to transact money to other person's blockchain wallet. Then I discovered Xapo which doesn't charge for transfering to another xapo account.  it kept my bitcoin cash after the fork which i later converted to bitcoin. Another one is Exodus desktop wallet which is quite good and nice team. They offer several other altcoins as well which can be easily exchanged.

You can use Exodus, it's easy to use and simple also it supports Altcoins such as BAT, Litecoin, Ethereum, and new successful ICOs.
