There seems to be many wallet programs. Is one better than the other?
I am setting up a RasPi2 and leaning more towards MultiBit just because it looks easy to install... I have zero experience in this area and would love some input....
Thank you

https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-walletheres a list of wallets, as you might know already there is no "best wallet," there is however, a wallet that best suits your needs. I urge you to read up on each wallet before choosing which one you like best or gives you what you need.

I have been trying to figure out the differences.... I am doing this for now to better educate myself on the topic and see if I can setup my RasPi as a miner (posted in another thread) MultiBit HD seemed to be easiest to install but it is having trouble connecting to the bitcoin network so I have to assume that is on my router or something... Not much is coming up on google for that answer.... I am going to "TRY" to install one or two others just to see how they work... So far this is the only one I have gotten to install... THANKS  Always wanting to learn more |

Bitcoin Core is better for you also we can help network with running node it not always; not everyone wants to download the whole blockchain to use the wallet considering its over 20 GB now, nearing 30 i believe. multibit/electrum are perfectly fine to use. |

I have been having problems getting bitcoin core to compile and install I stated earlier I am setting up a minor that I posted here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1094149.msg11664812I was trying to install various wallets and looking at the softwares. Electrum was the easiest to setup by far. MultiBit HD never connected to a server....just kept trying to connect. Electrum seem to work without a problem. I would be curious what is the cause for MultiBit since Electrum was able to connect.... I am still having loads of trouble installing bitcoin core.... regardless if using for mining or not I am determined to figure out how to get this to install properly. All and all I am still learning and moving forward. I appreciate all the advice and help. |

All and all I am still learning and moving forward. I appreciate all the advice and help. chances are you already installed it properly, it just takes a long time to start up and needs to download the entire blockchain it all of its 30GB's of glory. until then, the bar near the bottom should say something like "28 weeks behind" or something, itll take a while for it to sync. |

what type of error? some along the line of a corrupted wallet, or error for the client itself? did you compiled it successfully? |

Bitcoin Core is better for you also we can help network with running node it It is nice for people to run nodes. But if this is going to be a main wallet I would suggest using a cold wallet. Most likely a lightweight wallet so you don't have to download the chain when you plug it online. Use it only for the wallet, don't surf internet or other things on it. Also make a backup via paper wallet or usb. You will want to store it in a secure location. But you don't want to use just one copy where if it get's corrupt your losing your coins. |
