butcoin?

Blockchain? Xapo?
Whatever?

If we are talking about wallets -> I don't recommend any online wallets. Xapo, or whatever. Also Xapo is not recommended by many BCTalk members.

There are different types of wallets which will suits best for you.

I recommend ( I like )..
For everyday use: "Mycelium Bitcoin Wallet" for Android device or "Bitcoin Wallet" for Android device.

Desktop wallets: Bitcoin Core: 0.10.1 (mind large size of data folder)

What are your needs? If you want to store coins for a longer term and keep them save, there are better solutions.

Regards.

I'm using Electrum.
Pretty simple, good to use and to recover.

It's not "hard" to get it, but you need to download the 40GB blockchain.

I use blockchain.info for my wallet because I can access it anywhere. Its great.

I recommend Electrum. Easy to use, simply to backup and restore from seed. No blockchain download needed. I am also using blockchain.info wallet to store small amounts.

Read this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=468095.0

People are documenting their choices over a year now.

...

I use four, depending on my needs:

1) Trezor for long term cold storage
2) Ledger Nano for long term cold storage
3) blockchain.info for spending (and receiving convenience, and, like mentioned above, worldwide access)
4) BTC app for my cellphone

The bulk of my BTC are safe in the Trezor and Ledger. I like them both, I will use each a few more times and see which is "better".

tHANK YOU TO EVERYBODY! SORRY FOR BUTCOIN! YOU GAVE ME REALLY VALUABLE ADVICES! i NEVER THOUGHT THAT BITCOINTALK IS SO COOL!

I recommend you Electrum and Multibit for computer and blockchain.info for online and mobile wallet

Look into cold and hot wallets. Cold you will want to keep most of your money in. There are nice hardware that does it or some as simple as a paper wallet. Most important thing is they are not always connected to internet.

Hot wallet you will want to use for spending. The amount should change based on how much you need to spend normally. The goal is to keep from needing to plug in cold wallet a lot.

I'm using coinbase as my main wallet. Then multibit, xapo, blockchain and bitcoin core(not synchronized yet Tongue

waiting for more than 1 month Sad

). I recommend bitcoin core.

~Rude Boy

I use multibit for storing my bitcoin, and blockchain.info + blockchain mobile for small amount of daily transaction.
I don't use bitcoin core because its blockchain data is very big and need bigher data for synchronization.
If you want investing in bitcoin and store it for long timw, you can use cold storage and / or paper wallet, it will be safer than online wallet.
If you use online wallet like blockchain.info, be sure to activate google authenticator Cool

nothing like orig client

I use electrum because I found it in synaptic.

But would not be my first option if I was not that lazy

I think about buying a TREZOR. Is there a cheaper option with hardware? It just seems high.

i use Blockchain.info for my day to day uses because it is easy to use and i like it. but i try to keep small amounts there.
also i use Electrum as an offline wallet to keep majority of my coins in a secure wallet.

and last i am thinking about creating paper wallets but i haven'd found the time to learn and do so.

i don't use online wallet i don't like those no matter how much they claim to be secure, i just use bitcoin core with a small amount ready to be spent or trade + usb for cold storage

my desktop is 100% safe otherwise they would have stole my btc already....
