Bitcoin Forum

So i want to ask what is the best wallets that you have used storing your bitcoins??
it can be for mobile,for pc, and in a website

It depends on your needs, but the best wallet to me is Electrum. :)

oh.....i see..ive been thinking using web wallets cause we always download stuffs in our computer and our phone and might not open and my BTC will be lost..so i cant trust my computer..

I used Blockchain so far, and it's good.
I also have wallet in coinbase, but i use it rarely.

Please use the forum search option before u ask a question next time. Please Read: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=468095.0

Oh,sorry.next time :D ill gonna go use blockchain now thanks :D

In that case, you could create an offline wallet with Electrum in an offline computer (no internet connection).

To be honest, I am not sure if blockchain.info is the best choice, as you frequently download stuffs to your computer...

I dont get it.Why??

I've always used blockchain.info and never had any sort of problems with them. I think they were down for maintenance once.

As you mentioned "so i cant trust my computer.." in your above post, I assume you have no idea if there are malware and keylogger.

If there are malware and keylogger on your computer, your wallet alias (or login link) and your password on bc.i could be leaked when you create and login your account, and your bitcoin could be gone.

ohhh....wow.why didnt i think of that before.ok back to thinking a new wallet D:..

though what u said earlier about offline wallets sounds good so im gonna try that

the best bitcoin wallet is Bitcoin qt ;D
you can download here
https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.1/ (https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.1/)

I use ARMORY (bitcoinarmory.com), mainly because of it's simple design.

Bitcoin-qt is the most secure and bug-free among the wallets but you have to download 20Gb of blockchain data,
if you want some reliable "light" wallet you should use Electrum / Multibit / Armory.

I use the core QT client for my cold storage. For my online/day-to-day coins, I just use Blockchain.info's online wallet. If I'm holding coins, they aren't held on 3rd party sites/exchanges.

Don't hold large amounts(the term is relative and 'large' can mean different things for various people) on online wallets.
I recommend using Electrum, quite friendly, open-source and secure. If you need more options, look into Armory.
Or, if you have a Mac, definitely check out Hive Wallet.
For Mobile usage, I'd suggest Bitcoin Wallet for Android, or Mycelium(it has a built-in marketplace, sort of like a decentralized exchange). For iOS, you could check out Blockchain.info's wallet, available for jailbroken iPhones(it's the only one that I know of).

Why don't you just mark as read, move along and stay out of the way?

Look at the discussion he would have missed by following your request.

If everybody did as YOU want there would be little to no discussions here anymore.

Edit:

Also, if I remember correctly the search feature here simply sucks, especially for newer members. What is it 6 minutes between searches?

I only trust bitcoin-qt, but the file size is killing..

Agree, Armory is great. You can find lots of info here on the forum about Armory.

That's why IMO it is better to use google search.
Just add "site:bitcointalk.org" in the end, and you could find the related threads here easily.

I have heard a lot of good things about armory.

IMHO, it depends with your BTC's amount.
If you have lots of BTC the best option is bitcoin core.
below 1 BTC I think blockchain.info is the best.

Electrum works perfectly for me (easy to use, easy to backup). :)

Thanks!

i cant stand qt, so slow

only web wallets for me :)

bitcoin-qt the way to go if resources aren't an issue imho.  If they are and your looking for a decent web-wallet solution, I would recommend blockchain.info

No matter what though...I wouldn't recommend accessing even your web wallet from a system that is having all kinds of arbitrary programs loaded on at any given time.  All it would take is one keylogger and you could be out of alotta fundage.  Always use some form of 2FA (2-factor authentication) whenever possible and for whatever option you decide to go with.

i use electrum for daily wallet
and paper wallet for save my bitcoin
electrum is good wallet, no need to download all bitcoin transaction history
until now i don't understand how to use bitcoin-qt ;D

Indeed. QT can drag resources/memory on my laptop, so I prefer using a lightweight client like Electrum for my online computer's wallet.

Well personally I like blockchains the most, but I'm not using it anymore, I've transfered all of my btc to the CEX.IO.

For me, best bitcoin wallet is blockchain.info, why?

You haven't to download 20GB+ of block chain. Over this, if you use it correctly with a good security, is the top !

the best wallet would be the wallet that allows you to send without forcing a tx fee for being under the "majic" number.

You don't have to download the entire blockchain with Electrum, either. It's very lightweight. And I would prefer having a lightweight desktop wallet to an online wallet. I'm pretty sure I've heard blockchain.info wallets can be exploited by JS script, but maybe that was BS, not sure. Not that I don't use it for small amounts / day-to-day stuff. I keep most of my coins offline.

Well I personally use MultiBit for offline storage on my desktop. It's a simple lightweight client and you don't have to download the whole blockchain.
But I also really like the wallet service from Coinbase. I think they're probably one the safest online wallet available.
And of course the cool thing about an online wallet is that you have access to your BTC anywhere you are :)

thanks guys for the suggestions....im gonna try armory and if it suit my taste im gonna use it...thanks again guys

For me, I prefer the original wallet, the Bitcoin Core.

I'm used it since years ago.

I prefer blockchain because it can be used in mobile phones and websites,
but it all depends on your choice

sory double post  ;D

I'm not sure which wallet to use, I'm considering using Bitcoin core, but I don't exactly have the resources remaining (I have 28gb of storage left on my hard drive, my computer is really old and has stored a lot.) and I was considering using MultiBit, but I'm still wary about it. I'd prefer to use the core as opposed to anything else.

I'm currently using Coinbase, just for ease-of-use for now, until I can get the resources to get the Bitcoin Core. But I don't have a lot of BTC anyways, most of it is off making money elsewhere.

Coinbase is quite safe from what I've seen, but there is always the danger of a keylogger.

I'd say use the Bitcoin Core for storage, Coinbase for day-to-day transactions (Or a small holding area) and Blockchain for anything else mentioned.

Usually I use blockchain.info, is safe with good graph and then, you have not to download the blockchain (20 GB+)

I am currently using a mobile wallet but am thinking about switching to a pc wallet...
I don't like the thought of an online wallet...

Mycelium mobile app. Nice interface and very secure (as far as I've read) with good backup methods.

Out of all the wallets i've used I really like armory for cold storage or large amounts and coinbase for merchant orders and consumer spending. I've been pretty hooked on overstock.com recently and it works amazingly with coinbase.

armory is great for cold storage -- it's the easiest tool to get used to keeping your coins cold. for day-to-day transactions, i still prefer blockchain.info to anything else.

No problem. :)
