I’m quite surprised that most people vote for a web wallet, if they were using the wallet of an exchange I could understand that, but a web wallet? To me this seems very odd, installing a lightweight client like Electrum is very easy and you have the security that no one else has access to your bitcoins, if you want the advantage of carrying your bitcoin everywhere you could install a lightweight wallet on your mobile phone and get done with it.

I'm using web wallets for making transactions/investing my money in bitcoin, and also for storing the profit I got in making profit online.
Since I earn my first bitcoin, I am using web wallets. The web wallet I am using has also android application which is pretty efficient for me because I can convert my bitcoins to fiat and withdraw it in any banks any time, anywhere, as long as there are internet. Web wallets or online wallets are good for the newbies or for the small amount of bitcoin that is needed for usage every day or being a hot wallet. If you already gaining some good or big amounts of bitcoin then i think it is better to have desktop wallet and just use your web wallet for converting from bitcoin to fiat. I think web wallets are for persons that is using bitcoins for everyday transactions because with these as said by @Janation, is efficient whenever and wherever you needed your bitcoins to be converted or such. But I think earning from signature campaigns is not that big so I think it is good to have a web wallet. Its true and I have agreed that so far it will good until a big amount of Bitcoin were hold on your web wallet. Web wallets must be recommended to use for the newbies or beginner. But something like Electrum or others surely suggest for safety and good purpose. |

I don't have that many bitcoin to invest in hardware wallet. I am also tired of constantly dowloading more blocks while using full validation wallet.
I chose Electrum as my primary wallet, with blockchain as big as 100GB only SPV wallets offer good mix of security and comfort.
I tried to use blockchain.info wallet too, but I got scared by lots of bugs discovered recently in that wallet.

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.
currently, I am using online wallet and I have never have any problems with them. Though am planning to have offline wallet for security purposes and safe guide my wallet through my phone or laptop. Am also currently using wallet generated from trading platform for the purpose of trading only. |

I use multiple types of wallet, Light CPU "Electrum" Heavy CPU "Core" as well as 2 online wallets btc.com and blockchain.info... Of course I don't keep allot of coins in the online wallets but the convince is higher particularly through mobile and in sending receiving instantly.

Personally have been using the Electrum wallet for the past one year and i have not found a single issue in using it. No synchronizing issue or the verry long blockchain like core. its a very much secured wallet. A seed is generated for password when we register. That seed can be used to recover our wallet and hence even additional methods of security.

For the most part I utilize web wallet, it's the most helpful to me. Here and there I likewise utilize versatile wallet, just not to keep every one of my coins at one place. I likewise attempt to be precausious as much as I can and secure my bitcoins. Be that as it may, I don't have much coins, so I'm not extremely stressed over them.

I use web wallet. It is available all times and everywhere.
That is the pros of a web wallet because of ease to access your account from them but if you will talk about cons or the disadvantage of that then it is very risky wallet to store a low of bitcoins because a lot of people now are storing bitcoins online and its attracting the hackers or criminals online to have a interest for bypassing any kind of online sites and that is a threat for your money. |

If only for fast transactions, web or exchanges wallet is the best, but if for a large amount of security should use a cold wallet and complete with a private key that's backed up more than once, would be more perfect if all the wallet is given double security like 2fa. |

I always had this question in mind... I am not familiar with hardware wallet, and wonder the potential percentage risk to see the hardware failing/crashing Or for exemple if you compare with a USB stick, they are limited with Writting (I don't think reading). Is there something like this ? Not sure if I am clear enough lol, but I hope you get it |

But me i used multiple bitcoin wallet for receiving purposes because my local bitcoin wallet are very strict they do not want to received bitcoin from gambling that is why i used other wallet to received my income in gambling. |

Web wallets such as Blockchain and Coinbase has been increased the minimum transaction fees. Now, I am using electrum and multibit desktop wallet, which is more convenient to me. I think you are speaking about bitpremier site to buy the car with bitcoin. That you can do with any wallet.
What I mean is, you may be careless with your bitcoins now because you think you only have a small amount -- the justification to use a web wallet. I'm saying, in the not so distant future, that small amount could be a small fortune. And it will be a regret if you lost it. And it's easy to prevent that regret now. Where did I mentioned or suggest to use a web wallet only. I just said, fees has been increased in high range as like that way price is also increased in the chart. You have to offered 1.50 to 2 USD for a transaction. Even I said this is ridiculous from the wallet providers. |

I use web wallet it is safer than the other wallet but its up to you
The Safest wallet is hardware wallet with full sync client. but web wallet is more easier to use. I don't think so. It's still dangerous if hackers hacked your computes where in yiu can not recover it if your computer is being reformat. Web wallet is safest for me as 2fa authenticator is available. Do you even know what it is a hardware wallet? Hardware wallets were designed in a way that even if you were to connect your hardware wallet to a compromise device your coins will still be secure, the most secure of all wallets are hardware wallets, web wallets are the most unsafe of all, but web wallets are very easy to use and don’t require any investment. |
