I have tried the Exodus wallet which seems like an alternative to Jaxx but there was no manual fee setting there and that threw me off cause sometimes you would get some ridiculous fees for small amounts. And I don't want to talk about that piece of steaming garbage MultiBit HD which bugged out on me with the surprisingly widespread wrong password failure. I have tried every suggested desktop wallet listed on the Bitcoinorg website and finally settled on BitPay. It doesn't offer much in functionality like other wallets but at least I feel more secure with it and hopefully my funds won't get locked up again because of shoddy programming lol.
By the way I just read some comments and reviews of jaxx and there is a mention that there is no manual fee option? I will play with it for awhile but I don't think it will become my main wallet though.
Edit.
There are actually 3 options for setting fees on jaxx so I was wrong
The interface is pretty slick I have to say. Me likey
I will use Jaxx to store some alt coins for my betting on DirectBet.
Thanks for the suggestion mate!
