i use different wallets for different purposes. sometimes i combine some methods. as long as one knows what he is doing and what the differences and risks are, them most wallets are ok.

[Taki]

I use the wallet on the site Blockchain.com I start to use it after the advice of my boyfriend, he is longer than me in the bitcoin world and he recommended me that site as the most useful and saved.

same as me and i use multibit in my pc and i feel comfort with that software beside that, i use mycelium in my android. but in the other wallet, i use web exchange wallet as i use it for daily trading and i only save a few thousand of satoshi in that site as i always spread my amount of bitcoin in many wallet.

I think personally that every bitcoin user have multiple types of wallets which used for different purposes.

I am currently using web wallet. My vote also for majority.

For web wallet I am using most trusted blockchain.info web wallet services. I have choose blockchain web wallet mainly considering security majors. It have some disadvantages too as miner fee.

I used Web Wallet and Brain wallet
Currently I like Secure multisig address

There is a thread about recomendations for the best wallet to use, but not all practice what they preach, so this poll is to see what people are actually using.
I understand that some people use multiple wallets of different kinds, so this poll asks which wallet is most used, this can be measured either by quantity of bitcoin or ammount of transactions.

i am use web wallet because i feel this is more easy to open wherever and whenever

[bitcointank]

I like online wallet like blockchain.info, or electrum light wallet. I don't need to the huge blockchain, which is the future trend.

[pinoycash]

I prefer web wallet as its easy to use and multiple options for cashouts/convert to fiat, in case i need money. this is the best choice due to slow internet speeds and daily capping, i dont need to download to whole thing and sync regularly.

[mk3000]

A couple of web wallets right now, probably buying a hardware wallet in the next months for added safety.

[Billen]

I use blockchain and private wallet (wallet on computer). But I usually use private wallet for cold storage because it's faster and safer than the others.
I sometimes use blockchain for daily investing and purchase online. it's very useful for this purpose.

[ArcCsch]

two of the options in this poll are not even a wallet. such as exchange

Many people keep coins on exchanges, this was more popular before the mtgox crash.

(i have no idea what faucet credit is!)

This is kind of a joke, faucet credit is accumulated coin in a faucet that is not big enough to be cashed out.

and physical bitcoin (this one is a collectible not a wallet.)

Many Casacius Coins have more coin added to them, some time ago, BTCC started a thread recomending people to store coins in their chips:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1696307.0

and the poll should be multi choice not single choice, because technically anybody should be using multiple wallets in my opinion. at least two: one hot wallet for spending and one cold for long term storage.

True, but it seems to late to change now.

and my cold storage is not in the poll
i use a live linux with its network removed and encrypted for log in with Electrum on it.

You use a whole computer just for a bitcoin wallet?

[Ayers]

i learned that only few wallet are secure, like armory and core, and maybe electrum but i don't like that electrum is centralized, i only use those for the moment

[abel1337]

I mainly use blockchain as my main wallet and Im using an paper wallet too , I use paper wallet for saving bitcoin for my future use, I use blockchain because it is proven secured web wallet and i am trusting it to hold my funds.

[carlisle1]

as of now I am just using web wallets blockchain.info to get my earnings from signature campaign and our local wallet service provider (coins.ph) whenever i need to exchange my bitcoin into fiat and cash out through remittance center . hardware wallet could be good but I am not yes owning a huge of bitcoin so I am trying to use it at the moment .

[strasboug]

use bitcoin core full node wallet, that's the one I've been using for many years, so it is good. I don't like web wallets as so many online wallets have been hacked so it is not safe.

[TheLateGuy]

Wow, it's a surprise that the Full Node & Lightweight wallets are the top ones after the Web Wallet in this poll. I totally prefer having a web wallet for daily transaction, I mean it's way easier to manage your funds like that & send any pocket money to paper wallets. I find the Full Node and the Lightweight one totally uncomfortable to use, and having to use it only on my PC makes it even more painful.. But a tip I would share with everyone is: never have thousands of dollars, maybe even hundreds, in your Web Wallet if you don't want to spend it in the following days. You never know how you can lose it!

[markyminer]

I use the wallet on the site Blockchain.com I start to use it after the advice of my boyfriend, he is longer than me in the bitcoin world and he recommended me that site as the most useful and saved.

yes that is a good choice, my first choice is also blockchain because blockchain is trusted and reliable online wallet. although the other wallets are also so mcuh secure and they have their own security level but still i will prefer blockchain.

[doona38317]

as you can see the clear winner is web wallet because its much safer and rather quicker, I remember I once lost bitcoins because the core wallet I did not had proper knowledge and when I rebooted my PC with windows 10 ( that time latest ) I lot some coins .. so I also voted for web wallets.

[nelson4lov]

From The results of the poll, Web wallets is coming up top as the majority. Myself, I make use of web wallets ranging from coinbase , LocalBTC & some from Exchanges (Not really a wallet, But works fine for a trading account). I've Never tried the traditional bitcoin core wallet before though.
