What wallet should i use?

[investspot]

So i recently saw a bug with blockchain.info  and im a newbie on bitcoin wallets so i decided to move my wallet from there. I would like to use a wallet that is safe and that can be recovered in case of loosing it or something like that. Any suggestions what should i use?

Edit: is multibit a good alternative? and if yes how can the wallet be recovered on it in case of an emergency?

What's the bug with blockchain wallet?

[fullypak]

I have always used electrum and multibit classic, I think those are the best alternatives

I use a xapo wallet for my daily usage. I find it quite safe to use.

[Derrike]

As online wallet are not recommended so I use electrum for storing my Bitcoins.
It's very light and no need to download any block chain.

I use mycelium (android) and coinbase (web based ) , I feel safe using them
You can try them

Bitcoin Core would probably be the wise man's choice or at the very least a local lightweight wallet but I personally prefer to store my Bitcoin online. I've been using Coinbase for a long time and they are secure enough for me, I've got my phone linked with 2FA and a secondary email for confirmation plus I have the option to store bigger amounts offline with their Vault feature. They are insured too. I just love being able to access my BTC anywhere from any device without having to carry my wallet file with me. I understand my BTC is not 100% safe but then it's not gonna be 100% safe anywhere else either. It's nice to get a notification when I receive BTC while I'm out

Yeah, multibit support private key import and export with encryption support so you can safely put it on your flashdisk or something.
Also, you can try use Electrum, it just like Multibit but with more features like multi-sig or hardware wallet support.

wait so can i actually go to bitaddress.org disconnect my internet connection then create a wallet turn browser off and i will have a cold wallet?

You can download that webpage as a file and run that file on an offline computer with internet explorer.  You don't need to be connected to the web to use IE.


YES you could, download bitaddress.org, disconect your computer, create it and it's... offline until you reconnect your computer to the web..... It's only semi cold using this method.  As I said if your comp has malaware it's just going to record your keystrokes and forward it to the hacker when you reconnect.

HOWEVER this method will stop people that are connect to your comp watching it or just sending live key strokes.  

Semi cold is way better than hot.

By your definition, all addresses generated outside of a faraday cage would be considered "semi-cold".

I agree.  Perhaps.. almost cold if you're not in a faraday cage. Funny you mentioned that, I have been thinking about that for some time lmao.

I would suggest you to use Mycelium over Blockchian.info or Xapo. The only downside is that Mycelium is for Android and iOS only. It also have features that most Bitcoiner need such as import, encrypt privet key and signing of message.

I haven't moved my bitcoin from blockchain. Still love it . I would suggest electrum ( for cold storage ) and coinbase ( blockchain.info alternative ) for you. Cold storage is cool if your computer is safe from viruses and keylogger. Don't forget to backup your bitcoin on paper wallet.

[ummina]

you can use https://blockchain.info/wallet/login
or you can use wallet like Xapo.
but, blockchain is more goodlest cause is from bitcoin...
and also many people use blockchain.
try it.

If you really want to secure your Bitcoin then use paper wallet just be sure you have a duplicate copy and keep it in a place where it will not get lost. Actually there are still lots of wallets you can use, like desktop walte, mobile wallets or online wallets. But it is necessary to put only there the amount you need or will be using daily. Currently I have paper wallet and I'm using blockchain and coinbase. In my experience they are one of the hottest online wallet.

If you created that wallet on an online computer it is not safe.

Multibit is the best for me, as it is very safe and have some most valuable features, apart from bitcoins I would suggest to use localbitcoins and blockchain.info as they are very safe and trustworthy.

[btcdealer]

you could use trezor wallet for storing or could use paper wallet or breadwallet...

[maokoto]

If you plan to exchange fiat for Bitcoin and do not want to overcomplicate, a verified coinbase wallet goes great. You can exchange your bitcoins for money and viceversa inside it.

[xhoneyael]

i personally use coins.ph they dont charge transaction fee..
and until now i dont experience problem in the site..

[nydiacaskey01]

i use 2 wallets, 1st wallet is where i receive BTC like from signature campaigns, trades and sales. 2nd wallet i use to convert my BTC to my local currecy. I can use just 1 wallet but much better if i use different wallet for incoming BTC and outgoing BTC

My suggestion is Electrum, multibit is good too. But i prefer to Electrum, they have more features for the security although i still haven't any problem with the old version, also you don't need to download the data.
Better to don't store all your coins on web wallet or exchanger.

[Scaccomatt0]

it's better to have different wallet on different solutions. The desktop wallet or paper wallet are preferable for high amount of coins, while an online wallet for few coins.
Btw blockchain.info is widely used and secure.
