Best bitcoin wallet

[Wed]

Online blockchain, because it is very easy to use and can allow many type of protection. I don't think that the owner of blockchain will escape with our money  

And what's about hackers? The perfect/unhackable system doesn't exists. It will never exist.
Online Wallets should only be used to save not more than just pocket money.

so what is your suggestion ?

i'm using blockchain but i've heard that blockchain been attacked by hacker recently
So make me frightened  

Don't need to do that. The one day will come when hackers or just a small trojan will do that job for me.

[mizna]

surely blockchain for me 

[Marcy]

[Josef27]

MultiBit, a lightweight version wallet

You don't need to sync the whole blocks, also you be able to have multiple address + allow to add passphrase

Please remember the massive amount of thefts there despite 2FA! Always be careful when using an online wallet.

yes agree with you,must activated 2fa

[Miftach]

i choose coinbase
support sms verification and securely other

I recommend not to use wallets like Coinbase or Xapo because you don't have access to the private keys. So, if their server or if they go, your bitcoins are lost. Try to use a desktop or mobile wallet. If you do travel a lot, try to use blockchain.info with 2FA but if you have Android, then install an Android wallet.

While I have core wallet as well, I like Electrum wallet since it does not download the whole block chain and it works on many different platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac...)

I believe LOBSTER was talking about the R value bug last month.
Unfortunately enabling 2FA doesn't prevent loss in that case as your private keys are leaked directly.

[Buziss]

If you want the highest level of security, put your bitcoin in a cold storage.
If you are not so paranoid and have limited resources (HDD space or bandwidth), Electrum is a great choice.
If you want to support the bitcoin network, running a full node with Bitcoin Core is the best.

Often a user is at fault cause of that. Or blockchain.info refunded everyone

I think Trezor (bitcointrezor.com) is the best wallet out there, it's BIP32 compatible so you can recover your coins to other wallets when it gets lost or stolen + you private keys never touch internet or anything that might be compromised by malware or other viruses. And unlike other cold wallets you can also spend your coins from Trezor, gotta say I love mine.

Most of then can't buy it because of the price. Ledger is the only direct-competitor to Trezor.

And, if the wallet is connected to internet, it isn't a "cold storage".

If you are going for a hardware wallet, I recommend Ledger. An overview of hardware wallets can be seen here.

[winchancer]

My choice is blockchain.info
anonymous with Tor support

[favdesu]

depends on your needs.

I'd go with electrum for storage and block.io / blockchain.info for daily use.

[cloud36649]

AirBitz is a great mobile wallet.

I'd recommend either Blockchain.info or HolyTransaction for web if they are needed for general usage.

[tornike]

Bitcoin Core is the most secure you can go as it is most throughly tested by various developers and a lot of community members and it is a full node which doesn't require trust.

Ledger is based on a proprietary, closed source secure chip (NSA anybody?), therefore it is inherently less secure than Trezor. It depends on your level of paranoia thou

Okay, it isn't a cold wallet by definition, but it basically is a paper wallet which you can spend from without exposing your private keys to anything internet connected, transactions are signed in-device.

You are right about the price thou, no reason to protect your bitcoins with a wallet that's worth more than what it holds

No. Ledger is powered by HW. 1 firmware which is open-source AFAIK and also https://github.com/LedgerHQ/.

Right except about the similarity to paper wallet. You will have to expose private key in a paper wallet for sending Bitcoin unless you sign in an offline computer and if there is an offline computer, there isn't need of paper wallet.

You are right about the price thou, no reason to protect your bitcoins with a wallet that's worth more than what it holds

Precisely. If you only want to hold a small amount, Ledger or paper wallet or even a secure online pc is enough. Most people buy Trezor if they have many Bitcoins to hold.
