Did you see the sticky on top of this board? You pretty much have it all explained there:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1631151.0

Trezor would be my personal choice.

All comes down to personal preference. I might prefer wallet A but you prefer wallet B. Your best bet is to test them out yourself and then decide for yourself

We have a list of wallets at: https://cryptosec.info/resources.html#wallets_section

Best of luck! And don't even think twice if there's something you don't know.

Which is the best and easiest to work with wallet ?

It really depends on personal preference.

We created a "Cryptopedia" that goes into detail of each type of wallet and the most popular choices for each.

This is a great question, but there is no single best wallet. It depends on what you need from a bitcoin wallet and what your transasction behavior will be. Anyone who response here can give you great advice, but only you can truly decide the best wallet for you.

Factors for you to consider include:
  • Ease of use
  • How frequently you need to conduct transactions
  • Security preferences (vs. the convenience preferences, there's usually a tradeoff)
  • The currencies you want to hold, if you want multiple currencies with the same type of wallet you'll have fewer choices (not bad, just something to think about)
  • What country you live in - not all wallets are available to people in every country

Here are two great sites.

The first, Bitcoin.org Choose Your Wallet (https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet), will help you narrow down your choices. This site doesn't have all the choices but it has the major players.

The second, Crypto Compare Wallets (https://www.cryptocompare.com/wallets/#/overview), is a summary of all the wallets and exchanges available. You'll need to do more independent research on each, but this is the universe of options.

Best wallet means it has to be the high secured wallet. I prefer hardware wallets are best and secured wallets. Ledger Nano S (https://www.ledgerwallet.com/products/ledger-nano-s) and Trezor (https://trezor.io/) are good hardware wallets. If you can't buy a hardware wallet you can use a desktop wallet like Electrum (https://electrum.org/#home) and Exodus (https://www.exodus.io/).

I suggest Trezor as someone earlier wrote,
but you'll probably be fine with either Trezor/Ledger Nano.

If you choose to use any other method, digital/paper wallet:
be certain that when you are getting your keys, that you've got a completely safe computer,
no viruses that can capture them.

I really suggest downloading Linux Mint on an USB, restarting from Linux Mint,
and on liveboot(OS without install) you can generate your keys/do what you need to do in terms of crypto,
and you'll be much safer than doing it on your usual Windows computer.

here are some more tips  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3576100)

Not necessarily. OP was asking for "best and easiest to work with ". It depends if OP was asking for a hot wallet for easy spending or a cold wallet for secure storage. But yes, if for security purposes, the Ledger Nano S and the Trezor would definitely be the best choices.

It really depends on your personal preferences and your token or coin which is going store.

I prefer use bellow wallets,

1. ERC20 and ETH based token : MyEtherwallet is best and secure
2. BTC : coinbase or blockchain.info
3 . NEO and NEO based token : NEON wallet.

Ledger Nano s is one of the most secure hardware wallets it supports most of the cryptocurrencies in the market. If you could afford , hardware wallet is the best.

If you're just starting out and do not want to get overly-technical just yet then something like the Samourai (android), GreenAddress (IOS) or Coinomi mobile wallets are good options. Alternatively you can look into wallets for your desktop/laptop like Electrum or Jaxx. I would agree with the above posts and do suggest that eventually, when you are comfortable, to invest the money for a hardware wallet such as nano-s or trezor.

For ETH based tokens I prefer myetherwallet is best, for BTC based ones coinbase is good. It depends on your requirement and choice. If you can use hardware wallet is better than web wallets.

Why is Trezor and/or Ledger Nano the best or easiest wallet to work with?

For ETH based tokens I prefer myetherwallet is best, for BTC based ones coinbase is good. It depends on your requirement and choice. If you can use hardware wallet is better than web wallets.

What if I live in a geographic location that isn't serviced by Coinbase?

It depends on you.  But I will recommend myetherwallet for you

What If I need a wallet to hold Ripple?

Thanks a lot ! Im still new here and i'm a little lost.

As you can see, as much as some people want to believe there is a single best or easiest wallet to work with, each of their responses are rooted in what THEY need...not what YOU need. Take in all the information and then make your own decision or ask more questions, were' here to help you!

Nope. Coinbase should only be use as a platform for buying and selling BTC, and not as a wallet. Also, there are tons of good software wallet alternatives to Blockchain.info. Blockchain.info's wallet doesn't even use SegWit.

How many more 'wallet' domain names do you own. If you want to sell them, it would be better to post the sales notices in the digital goods market place, rather than spamming the boards with questions to which you already know the answers.

Blockchain.info is good for beginners and as matter of fact I still use it though I have my ledger nano s already.

Don't use coinbase and treat it as your main wallet, just transfer bitcoin there if you are about to sell.

@OP stop creating duplicate threads.
You have asked the same questions--> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3734420.msg36952351#msg36952351

dear sir, i agree with you I meant to say that it is good for new, because newers want to see more of the simplest things.

If you are looking for the best and easiest method to create wallet then I would recommend you to go with the paper wallet. Download reputed paper wallet generator from github and move it on any offline computer and generate your wallet there and print it from there. You can also go with reputed hardware wallet like Trezor if you are looking for higher flexibility in using your wallet. I am using both of these wallets and these are highly secure in my opinion.

Hi wallet.net,

We have prepared a list of 130+ wallets where we also rank security (green color means best security) and ease of use (green color means easiest to use). Check it out here: https://www.cryptowisser.com/wallets/

Enjin Wallet might work well for you? Trezor is very secure but not very easy for a beginner.

All the best,
Cryptowisser

It really depends on person to person and amount going be handle. I personally prefer MyEtherwallet with meta mask extension for Eth and ERC20 based token transaction. But there may some security issues, because of its web(online) wallet. I prefer to user Ledger nano s hardware wallet for holdings.

For bitcoin I user blockchain.info. those are easy to user and secure than keeping on the exchange. Ledge nano s supporting storing bitcoin also. It the best option store bitcoin than web wallet.

For NEO NEP5 based token, I user NEON wallet.

Well, first you need to decide what you want to do with your capital or what your style (trader, short-term investments, long-term investments)
1- Trader - half of the funds can be kept on the purse of Myetherwallet, and the means you trade can be stored on the exchange.
2- Short-Term Investments - Myetherwallet
3- Long-term investments - the best option is to buy a hardware purse (ledger nano s, Trezor)
