Bitcoin Wallet

[xypos]

Which is the most used? Any ideas? Desktop and Mobile.

Well I'd recommend blockchain.info for you because it can be used both in mobile and desktop, and it has a wide reputation of being the wallet of choice for everyone, beginners and experienced bitcoiners alike uses it a lot.

Blockchain.info unlike Coinbase allows you to retain control over your private keys, which means that your coins are never in counterparty danger. You don't need to trust anyone to keep honest as blockchain.info does not save your password on their servers anywhere.

But that also means that there will be no way to recover your password if you lose it alongside your email address. So make sure you take good care of that.

blockchain.info and coinbase wallet for web wallet.Multibit and Bitcoin core for desktop wallet.But all of them are not 100% safe

For anyone who hold less than 1 btc, I think it's better to use online/ website wallet. Because it's instant and don't need to worry about virus or loosing your device. About the security, it's all done with sms and google authenticator.
But if you are a traveler or mobile person that using bitcoin regularly, I would prefer to recommend mobile wallet.

And maybe someone want to know this information
Types of wallet :
1. Online bitcoin wallets. Wallets that can be accessed on the web from any internet connected device.
2. Bitcoin hardware wallets. Physical devices designed to secure bitcoins.
3. Software wallets. Wallet applications downloaded to your phone, computer or tablet.
4. Paper wallets. Bitcoin private keys printed from an offline computer.

As my personal wallet i love to use blockchain but people prefer coinbase or electrum, they are good also. blockchain have a lot of problems right now and bags better to use electrum or coinbase wallet for transactions. For mobile phone Blockchain are really good and easy to use,but you can try other ones for example coinbase v

There are lots of types of wallet its either web wallet,desktop wallet,hardware wallet it depends on the person on which wallet would he use and for me sicne i do make some transactions online with small amounts of bitcoin i do use of web wallet since they are easy to use specially blockchain.info but remember all wallets have risk on losing your bitcoin.

I generally tell new users to start out with Coinbase or Circle. Once people get used to buying, selling, and using Bitcoin I tell them to get a wallet they control like Copay. For advanced users, I generally recommend Mycelium combined with a Ledger Unplugged or a Ledger HW.1. For reviews of most of these, check out the review section on my website.

I think the most wallet that anyone who used are blockchain and coins.ph because it doesn't need any paperworks.In this wallet when you try to open it need confirmation or verification to avoid scam.

I think it is more likely that web wallets are the most used since many bitcoin users don’t want to deal with installing their own wallet, then I will probably guess the next most popular will be wallets for mobile devices since they are everywhere now, and finally the wallets for desktop.

The opinion you have can be considered that web wallets were popular in times of mobile devices is not yet present to access the internet, but looking into bitcoin wallets this modern days for mobile is available to be downloaded by through free services at google. That's why i believed coins.ph and blockchain conquered deeper of it's biggest market thoughout the entire country's services using didtal currency exchanges , and gladly they are affiliated with banks here in the country for cash out from wallet to fiat cash money.

Maybe yes maybe no. Taking me as an example my first wallet was a web one. Because nobody learned me anything about cryptocurrencies and that was the more easy way to store my first satoshis from faucets. After that I tested a mobile wallet only to check if it was appropriate for my needs but I gave it up because I had the opportunity to 'pair' my web wallet with my smartphone so it is more handy for me to control only one wallet in two different machines. At last, when I signed in this forum and I learned some about wallet security and reliability i went with desktop solution and now I trust most of all my desktop electrum wallet because I own the private keys and nobody else. As always security is not near with ease. You choose and get pros and cons.

I think with a web wallet is enough, this is because my bitcoin balance is still small, many people assume that the most dangerous web wallet and easily stolen. Next day maybe I will use desktop wallet.

The best wallet for me is coins.ph because it secure your bitcoin and it need verificatiom or confirmation if you want to open it and also it doesn't have any paperworks like others.Blockchain is also kind of wallet that you can put your winning bitcoins in gambling sites and after you can transfer the bitcoin in coins.ph.

I guess you are a Filipino, due to your name and the bitcoin wallet you've chosen. Yes, Coins.ph wallet would be the best wallet but only for Filipino due to functionality. Coins.ph can be used for cashing out money thru bank transfer, load, game credits, western union etc,. But Coins.ph doesn't let us get into out private key and we can't sign a message on it. That means whenever the site goes down, then even our wallets and bitcoins will be gone too.
For me, the best wallet would be paper wallet which can secure our funds even offline. And let us access it thru different kinds of wallets such as blockchain(desktop) or Mycelium(Android) by the use of private key.

I have mycelium wallet and i look for my private key but i found it the same with my address is that correct? If thats not my private ley then where do I find the private key

My colleague printed my QR codes and those were placed inside my physical wallet... everytime I need to use the money I just spot it with my camera. 

those papers are non hackable... rock n roll!

Yes i lnow that but you need private key for that..my question is where do you get the copy of your private key..because it is not available in mycelium but i know which site i can get private key on specific address..is that the right private key im looking for?

I was just about to download the entire bitcoin core 0.14.0 wallet update from a few days ago but am wary to a hard drive crash so put it off for now.
I would stick to web wallets for now until one can get a reliable media to store the block chain on first.

I also use the web purse. But, some say it's not very safe. But I have never had problems with this purse

yes no doubt about this that most of the people are using online wallet for keeping their bitcoin, to me i also use online wallet for saving money, but i am using online wallet for different wallets for security reasons.

At the end it is impossible to know since there are no way to get the full statistics about that, but I think it is a safe guess that is that way, since my first wallet was a wallet on blockchain.info then when I realized I wanted more security for my bitcoins I installed my own desktop wallet.

I was using my mobile wallet that he can also use in online wallet. So there is a distinction is the online and mobile wallet because I confused what were different they both just bitcoin wallet. If there is a large difference please share so i can learn what others are talking about online and mobile wallet.

But the web wallet can't provide you a more security. And i think SPV or dekstop wallet is the best choice in my mind. XAPO is bad in my experience. I guess just try to use the dekstop wallet. and it will give more guarantee for your amount.

I used three wallet and I'm sure these wallet are secured and easy to use.
1. Blockchain wallet- this wallet have authentication when you open wallet and that's good because no one can open your account except to you.
2. Coinbase- this wallet have vault and very safe because when the hacker open your wallet in coinbase he cannot open you vault because they different password. They have also 2fa.
3.coins.ph - Asia's wallet and my country wallet. I like this wallet because the website sent me confirmation code in my mobile number when someone tried to open my account.
