I have hold BTC in Electrum for some time and really like that wallet. Now, I want to get some ETH. So, I'm wondering what desktop wallet I should choose. I'd like a desktop wallet that doesn't download the full blockchain... These are three options about which I've read nice things on the Internet. What do you think?

MyEtherWallet
https://www.myetherwallet.com

Etherwall
https://www.etherwall.com

Exodus
https://www.exodus.io

As far as im concerned Exodus is the best wallet. I love their interface. They are user friendly. The only disadvantage they have is high transacting fees. They are ridiculous. If you plan to transact in small amounts... Stay away from this wallet.

Myetherwallet is my favorite wallet for Ethereum because I don't have to download the whole Ethereum Blockchain. I tried to download the official ETH wallet and it takes a very long time to complete.

I also use MyEtherWallet for me it's the simpelest solution. I can use it offline and online too. But I understand if you want a wallet with a client based application.

I am using MyEtherWallet, but is it the safest? I didn't see people speaking about Mist. Any opinions on that?

I have both of them, I like MyEtherWallet, fast and easy to use. Not sure about safety, but im pretty sure desktop solution is more safe.

I use Exodus, but with all the new ERC20 tokens coming out, I'm thinking MEW might be a better choice.  Exodus will only support an ERC20 if it is on Shapeshift and has a high ranking on coinmarketcap.  MEW is apparently way better at handling ERC20 tokens.

I'm not sure, but if export the private keys from exodus, you might be able to run Exodus and Mew side-by-side.

MyEtherWallet is really easy to use and gives you multiple options for how you want to manage your private key.

I prefer MyEtherWallet than any other wallet. Very simple (only need to enter private key) and very safe. If you want to try a safer, try to buy Trezor :) This will make you more comfortable.

I like to use both Exodus and MyEtherwallet  based on the necessity and amount of transactions to be done. If you are running a small business with doing small transactions, then i will go with Myetherwallet as their fees is comparatively small than exodus. But if you dont mind spending few dollar's as commission for big transactions to be done then go with exodus as they are highly secured and their user interface is looking quite attractive, and found to be good for beginner's who are new to Ethereum.

I use myetherwallet and have no complaint. Simple interface and easy to use. It support Trezor and Ledger wallets as well.

MEW is my choice. Wallet that has support of ERC-20 tokens. One thing - you must beware fishing.

i think you can use jaxx as your ethereum wallet desktop because jaxx have build multi wallet for desktop. i think its little slow for medium spec of computer but its good and safe, i am using this wallet too both for my android and my desktop. but i also use my etherwallet too for saving my tokens that i have. for etherwall and exoduse, i am not try yet and i don't have any experience with those wallet. i think each of wallet can give you a chance to secure your coins as long as you can save the private keys.

Is myetherwallet included in the desktop wallet category? is not mew is a web wallet?sorry if I am wrong

Look it doesn't really matter as long as you have control over your private keys, that is what matter the most. Wallets are just like gateways to the blockchain. Worst wallet is when you do not have control over your private keys. Maybe it's worth considering the speed as well, when choosing what to use. MEW would be good.

Il think MyEtherWallet does the job admirably and has the full support for ERC-20 tokens built in.

You have to have your wits about you as there are an awful lot of scams coming from places such as Slack trying to prey on the unwary but as long as you never click links to login in and type the URL yourself you should be fine.

Has support for Ledger and Trezor built in

I've used Exodus from the start and I think it's good and I've had no issues with it so far.

I prefer MEW, although it is very risky with network and malware, or phishing but MEW is very efficient.

I think myetherwallet is my favorite wallet, I have long used the wallet, and myetherwallet can also accept token type

As far as I know there is no ethereum desktop wallet available that doesn't require to download the whole blockchain. MyEtherWallet is not a desktop wallet but if you don't want to download full ethereum blockchain MyEtherWallet is one of the best option and it lets you hold your private key. If you really want a desktop wallet you can try Exodus. I use Mew for accepting erc-20 tokens and I have Exodus in my desktop pc for storing ethereum and other altcoins (Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dash) and I don't experienced any problem using both.

So far i use myether wallet and never try the other, so i suggest you to try this wallet. Its easy use and small fee.

I use myetherwallet, I think myetherwallet is the best and easy to use wallet and I like it, besides it can also accept all kinds of tokens. now you choose which option.

Myetherwallet has been including on the web wallet and that can't be included on the dekstop wallet. But exodus was including on it, and another choice about the mist wallet and parity and the latest that supported the hardfork is the symphony wallet.

Yeah , im using MEW too and i buying ledger for more secure.
I recommend using MEW and buying some desktop application like ledger , trezor because their have more secure system.

Myetherwallet is best for ethereum, it is support for erc20 token mean can be used for participate in the ICOs projects, no need download all of the ethereum's blockchain, myetherwallet is secure too just becareful with phishing website of myetherwallet, it will be dangerous for our ethereum and our token.

I do not know how to get a new BTC through Electrum

yes that's a very horrible case, many people lose their coins there.
I suggest to avoid slack, and always check on MEW address. or bookmarks your MEW so fishing can be avoided.

parity is another good wallet. parity.io

I'm using Exodus but is not aware how much % of fees it is taking.Is like almost compare to Coinbase?They take alot....And where is Exodus taking their rates?From https://coinmarketcap.com/#CAD?

I always had sync problems with the (myst it was I think) desktop wallet. Been using myetherwallet ever since.

I would like to recommend MyEtherWallet because it is the safest desktop wallet I know.
