WHICH BITCOIN WALLET IS THE MOST GOOD AND CONVINENCY

[ajrah]

SO whats the best of all ? I don't try before the core wallet i only use blockchain wallet and coinbase  wallet ,is there any wallet like blockchain ? For now it is the best for me.

Bitcoin Core

Its a good wallet but I don't think it is the most convenient one, downloading the whole blockchain first thing is a pain in the ass and if for some reason it gets corrupted then one has to do it again. In my view Electrum is the one which is the most convenient.

But I download Electrum and when I installed it, it said the version is not working for my laptop and I don't know what to do about.... Is it the Electrum that's not good or do you think I download the wrong app ?

did you download it from the official website www.electrum.org/#download ? if so also check the signature of the wallet installer after download with the appropriate signature to double check that you have downloaded the right one.

what is your operating system?
what is "the version is not working for my laptop" ? you should post the complete error message, but I am guessing you have downloaded a wallet for another OS.

Hardware Wallets are safest in my opinion.
You can use Multibit HD wallet It doesn't need to download whole blockchain, it's good I use it personally.

edit: Electrum is good too, but I prefer Multibit HD

Ok, i already have blockchain but i want a wallet which can keep my mind at peace. Moreover, is Multibit HD wallet a hardware wallet cos i never heard of it before

Bitcoin Core, if you want a good set-up try to search "bitcoin core + raspberry pi"
Also GreenAddress, setting-up with a hardware wallet it's a good (and easy to use) solution

Look up either cold wallets like paper wallets, or hardware wallets.  Those are the two types which I sleep good using.  If used right they just have great security.  And again if used right is key.

Blockchain is a hot wallet you should only keep your small spending money on it.  And make sure to use 2fa.

Just go basic:
Use Blockchain.info it is what you can use anywhere anytime without any problems.
Most say hardware wallets. But not everyone can afford to buy one and can justify the cost of one for the amount of coins they are going to hold in a wallet anyhow.
If it is a small amount just use the basics

The most balanced wallet is core, it is secure and easy to use, although it is a software wallet.

I like to use a Ledger wallet, but it comes at a cost. If you can cover that cost, it can become a great investment.

Yes, most say hardware wallet but I don't understand what you implies when you said not everyone can afford one? Do you mean hardware are sold and they also hold some of people money or you relate that as transfer charges?

Raspberry pi? What was that? Is it another hardware wallet or something cos I never heard of it before

The Raspberry Pi is a tiny and affordable computer, not exactly a hardware wallet.

Do you mean download bitcoin core and add raspberry pi

The other way around

I don't get you cos this is what I got when I do some finding about what Raspberry pi is. The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a capable little device that enables people of all ages to explore computing, and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python. It’s capable of doing everything you’d expect a desktop computer to do, from browsing the internet and playing high-definition video, to making spreadsheets, word-processing, and playing games.

I have seem some use for cold storage.  They unplug the RPI when they don't need to spend and only plug in when needing to spend.  You can get them for 35 dollars... so it does have some cost associated. 

I would suggest putting that money twords a hardware wallet instead if going to spend money, but it still is a decent amount more for some hardware wallets.

Hi Legendary Member, Hero Member, Senior Member, Full Member etc. Could pls tell the most secure and also convinent to use btc wallet. thanks

if you are new to bitcoin i suggest coinbase. people say that web wallets dont really have good security. but i think if you have 2fa on you arent gonna get hacked. if youre looking for a phone wallet,check out mycelium.

Coinbase really is different then most "hot" web wallets.   With them you don't have control of the private key your only way to get to BTC is through them.  So as long as they don't get compromised it is great.  If they ever do they are one of the few that have a insurance policy on it.   

So compare that to mycellium where you do have key.  Just a lot of differences between the two.   Both have advantages but vastly different.

I believe Blockchain to be the best and convenient. Without the email authorization you can't get into the wallet. This wallet has two factor security which makes wallet more secure.

I still highly recommend Yubikey's for blockchain.info - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1353231.0

It is great 2FA and very secure as far as web/hot wallets go.  It should still be treated as hot wallet but it does add a lot of security to it.

[jrpatking]

1. blockchain.info
2. electrum
3. multibit
4. bitcoin core

are my orders of usage regarding convenience and security.
