Bitcoin Wallet

[Bibite]

As far as i know there are over ten millions wallets hosted in Blockchain and over 6 millions on coinbase. So i think it can be  right to say that both are the most used in the bitcoin community. The problem is that it's really impossible, in my opinion, to compare with others web based wallets or bitcoin client... It could be interesting to see accurate statistics about this but as say i think it's near impossible to get it. Generally most people starting with bitcoin, start with a web based wallet, and if they continue or not using bitcoin they still have their web baseed wallet as you can't delete your account

Mobile wallet or web wallet is being commonly used because its easy to use and theres no hassle on creating one. As a begginer mostly will start on creating web wallet because it is suggested specially on small transactions of bitcoin but if we are already talking about big amounts of bitcoin then desktop or hardware wallet would be the best wallet among them all.

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.

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.

It's alright to using Web wallet to store small amount of Bitcoin but for huge usage better to use desktop wallet for security matter. Indeed, web wallet has a big risk because close their service but with such reputation that's very hard to close that.

I'm used blockchain over a year and I trust him alot. I'm also split my bits into my local exchanger so if something bad happen on blockchain, I have other back up for my bitcoin wallet.
I'm wonder myself why I trust only blockchain although there are many good online wallet to such as coinbase etc

i think 2 big bitcoin wallet nowaday is just coinbase.com and blockchain.info, they're easy to used, there is more "professional" wallet too but i think not much people use it !

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.

You are correct, but at first a newbie in the world of bitcoin probably is going to care more about convenience than security when trying to open their first wallet, and that is why I think web wallets are probably the most popular of all the wallets, if you want security a hardware wallet or a paper wallet seems like the best choice.

The type of wallet I use most often is Coinbase. Actually, I did not use a Coinbase purse right from when begin that I used Blockchain. Due to Blockchain transaction fees being too high, I switched to Coinbase. It is quite easy to use, the transaction costs are quite low and does not seem to have. However, at present, its transaction speed is quite slow and security is not good. I am intending to switch to a desktop purse like the Electrum, I heard that it is quite good and security is good. Electrum also has a version for the phone. In the future, I will use the Electrum purse to make it safer

web wallets are good for newbies but when you have live in the Bitcoin world long enough, you will realize how stupid and awful it can be. many of my friends have lost money and Bitcoin from Coinbase and they never want to return to it anymore. Moreover, Coinbase like to hold transactions and do not send it immediately. Therefore, it will cause a lot of troubles to users when they need to send fund urgently

to me i personally use web wallet, i am most using yobit and blockchain wallet, there are so many other online wallet like xapo but as i am also doing trading in yobit exchange therefore yobit account is more reliable for me.

[Barbut]

Multibit, and I have blockchain, and I have even xapo cause they still don`t have fee`s, but its just for fun and satoshis that I still collecting from several faucets just for fun. I think there is no everyone here have couple wallets, for keeping, everyday use, or some special wallets for special purposes, when you think about it there is similar number of desktop and web wallets, cause of that fact, everyone have both of them, and all the newbies use online wallet, so maybe there more online wallets, but that is just guessing.

[jeraldskie11]

There are two types of wallets, there are cold wallets which is offline and online po. Ginamit KO ngayon ay ang mycelium wallet which is cold in my android device. I used also online wallets but for cashout only. I choose mycelium as the one of the best of them all because it was the most secured wallet. It is also good to use pc on wallets because it has a big screen and I am compatible to use pc but I didn't have pc.

[beafheart]

I see that the most popular purse is blockchain. I also use it. And I do not even want to try other wallets. I am completely satisfied with this

[megynacuna]

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

Coinbase as online mobile wallet and then multibit us sitting right on my desktop. I once used xapo but not anymore.

[Russlenat]

for me I used coins.ph wallet because it is preferable for me here in my country Philippines.
I also used blockchain wallet and all these wallet are online wallet. I don't used desktop wallet due to some issues.

In terms of security desktop wallet is better than the web wallets. The reason is that placing our funds in a web wallet is same as that being in the hands of a third party. With desktop we have the access, but ease of accessing is possible through web wallets.

I have multiple bitcoin wallet and the best for me is our local bitcoin wallet which has lot of things can do, and we can used it as business like remittance center and bills payment. And some bitcoin address i used it to received income from gambling and other source of income in bitcoin then i will transfer it in my local bitcoin wallet.

I used mobile cause its more convinient and i can access my wallet anywhere i go.
But choosing whats the best wallet is difficult been using coinbase before without fees but now im disappointed. So i decided to use and leave coinbase.

[anthhonio]

blockchain.info is the only wallet i trust.  coinbase is not bad but i suspect coinbase can be the next paypal...close your account,or hold your fund

yes that is right to say,  i also personally using web wallet that is more convenient for me to use it.  personally using it for a long long time and i think those people who are very new here they really start from online web that is really easy to create, that is also very easy to access,  think it is really very comfortable to use.
