Which wallet should I use?

[larsbalzak]

I'm looking for a kind wallet which is secure, easy fast to use and I control the private key, so no online wallet.

I've used blockchain.info in the past but my account got hacked I suppose because I couldn't log in anymore. I didn't use 2 factor at that time.

BitcoinCore took a very long time to synchronize and a transaction took more than a month, I gave 0,001BTC miners fee to send BTC to an exchange wallet. Maybe the exchange was having some issues.

The choice is between armory and electrum, I think.

What do you think?

You should use search option for your question, there is many threads like yours. Also this is not proper board, move this (check move button) to Development & Technical Discussion

Your first choice should be Electrum, it is just what you ask for, it is light ( only need some 40 MB of download after install) , it is easy to use, you are in full control of your private keys and you have backup in form of seed words. Just use link in this post (to avoid fake wallets), create standard wallet and write down seed words ( be very careful with that ). Also set up strong and unique password for wallet.

Armory is not for you since it is also need BitcoinCore to be installed and completely synchronized.

Tldr; if you own a good number of bitcoin or crypto in general, and you want to safely secure them, purchase a hardware wallet. Preferably a Trezor[1] or a Ledger Nano S[2].

[tensports]

the best secure wallet for storing your bitcoins and other cryptocurrency is hardware wallets and for online wallet blockchain.info is best you can also try electrum

[vidivici]

Try to use the wallet hardware, one of them is Ledger Nano S, Ledger Nano S is a hardware that is created to provide cryptocurrency with high security level, ledger nano s is very safe to use for storing digital assets in today because it is impossible for hackers to take coin which is in the ledger nano s without having the device and also the 16 codes provided at first install even if the owner of the ledger nano s also can not access its own wallet if it is to lose the nano s ledger or also the 16 code.

Good choice you should avoid online wallets. Yes some of them provide you with backup option but as long as your keys on some bodies server the higher risk you have. As hackers might target them because they know if they get in they will have many wallets. You basically have two choices hardware wallets as somebody mentioned above ledger nano and trezor for instance
 These come like USB stick and keys are on the device making it harder for anybody to get to them.

Or light wallets that keep keys on the device for desktop I'd recommend electrum and if you have android wallet electrum could be good as well but for Android I use this samurai wallet as I like their options.  Anyway you should be careful here not to install any untrustworthy softwares such as cracked which could contain malware etc.

[permadi]

I suggest you can use the ledger wallet, in some cases, breaking or hack not only from a leaked private key but also an unsafe internet connection, do not easily in believe for give away, always double check dude

If you're choosing in between desktop wallets then electrum is your best choice since its a lightweight wallet and you dont need to download the whole blockchain, and if you want some mobile wallets I'll recommend Mycelium and I'm using this two wallets for more than 2 years now.

I have been using mycelium wallet for quite a long time and have not gotten any problem. I recommend it to you buddy

[Yantoaja]

I think you need to use blockchain wallet, because during that use I have never experienced any problems.

I recommend Blockchain (web: blockchain.info)

Because Blockchain is a trusted and undoubtedly bitcoin wallet. We can see all bitcoin transactions like sending and receiving bitcoins from all blockchain accounts. Its security system can guarantee in every transaction and storage.

Another advantage is that blockchain makes it easy for merchants online merchant by preparing API technology. But behind all the advantages, still have shortcomings such as:
It is only possible to store bitcoin, meaning it can not yet store other coin coins such as etherum, litecoin etc.
For us as Indonesian people, in blockchain there is no bitcoin exchange service with rupiah currency. Instead of using blockchain we have to use another wallet as well.

[somtandon2015]

These are the following wallets are.
1. Ledger Nano S
2. Jaxx
3. Exodus
4. Trezor
5. Mycelium

You can use any one out of them.

[Market-desi]

if I think the wallet is good to use and that I use to store my assets. maytherwallet (in token). and nem Wallet

[ReiMomo]

You can use any wallet which has two factor authentication for safety and security of your crypto coins. I personally use coinbase wallet which has two factor authentication and it is one of the top wallet which is safe. You have some options like hardware wallet as well if you wanna go for long term investment. I don't have any other wallets information since I use only one wallet.

[jerjer]

I am using jaxx, exodus, and coinomi. All have Private keys and seems no problem so far in my wallets for 1 year using it with almost weekly active transactions.

I personally use a ledger nano s and it's very secure lightweight and has a very easy user interface. It can ve used to dave carioys types of crypto and uses a date if the art encryption system. The best part about it is no one can  steal your funds without physically accessing the device.
