Hi! I'm using Blockchain.info for 1 year and I'm not very happy with it, I see a lots of bugs, weak security etc..
What is the best wallet you know? All I want is to import my private keys and easy sending. I would also appreciate good security and 2FA.

there is no best BTC wallet. but there are worst wallets like online wallets. it is totally up to you on how good you secure your wallet. you can choose bitcoin core or armory if you dont have problem with downloading 40 GB of data. or use an SPV wallet, i personally prefer Electrum. it is fast and easy to use, and you can make an offline version for more security. or you can make a paper wallet for the best security and only holding bitcoin for long time. |
Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip.
Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

I am using coinbase, they have android app if you want to use also on the phone, you can access also the web from web browser. It's a web wallet if you want to continue so. It also has 2FA that will protect your wallet and transactions. You also can sign message(which i learned recently). You decide. Good Luck. |

ohh, really depends, if you are looking for web wallet, desktop wallet or some smartphone/tablet wallet. just specify on which platform and OS you are willing to use the wallet and you will get much better recommendations here. |

yes, electrum is good, anyway, is quite tricky to install it ( https://electrum.org/#android), because of this I recommend mycelium for android. for desktop, stick with electrum.. |

You should really try Electrum. Once you tried it, you will never use any other wallet.
It is simple the best wallet ever made, please give it a try.

Web or desktop wallet, it doesn't really matter.. I have OS X so something that supports Mac if it's desktop wallet. |

There are different wallets, and each is good in its own way. Even online wallets can be good for small money. I suggest you try out a few, and put in some dust to see how you like it. My favorite is electrum, but I cant say that it is the best.

Simply stay away from Online wallets , they are the worst . (same goes for exchange websites ,don't keep them so long there) because all need to happens is them getting hacked and you will lose all . I'd advice to go with Bitcoin Core, yes you will have to download the full blockchain . and here is how to import the private keyson it : https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/How_to_import_private_keys_in_Bitcoin_Core_0.7%2B |

I did not really like MultiBit as my wallet, I stopped using it a year or so ago. It took too long to update when I did use it (esp. when used infrequently)..., it sometimes took TWO HOURS to update. Ugh.
For small amounts, I am OK with blockchain.info's wallet. I never keep (for long) more than, say, BTC0.5 there. blockchain.info does offer their SharedCoin mixing service, which for me is a nice plus.
I really like the hardware wallets as LiteCoinGuy above says, his thread is excellent for learning other people's experiences.
I am happy with both the Trezor and the Ledger Nano hardware wallets.
(Edited for clarity and to remove errors)

All wallets are not "safe"*. I choose Mycelium in Mobile and Coins.ph as my online wallet provider .I only used online wallet when I like to cashout my btc in real money.

I'm thinking about core for now. But what for my mobile device? I have iPhone, so iOS.. is there any legit wallet for it? I recently saw an article about Apple declining any Bitcoin related apps. |

I can't import my keys to Electrum, or I can't find how.
Wallet>Private Keys>Import |
Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

Core is a very good wallet, but requires the whole blockchain... Armory is very good, but also requires the whole chain, and it is only useful if you're more an advanced user. Electrum is SPV and really good, you should try it. Avoid online wallets! You should really try Electrum. Once you tried it, you will never use any other wallet.
It is simple the best wallet ever made, please give it a try.
I can't import my keys to Electrum, or I can't find how. The objective in electrum isn't importing keys: it's entirely switching to a seed that can be memorized. Your previous keys will not be included in a new seed. So just create a seed, keep it safe and transfer your Bitcoins there. |
