long time ago i set up a nice offline Electrum wallet which i use to store my coins as a cold storage. and i also have blockchain.info online wallet which i use to receive bitcoin from my earnings and also use it when i want to spend some coin, but never keep much coins there.

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip.
Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

I use blockchain.info and Multibit. for Bitcoins.
But basically all my money on the stock exchanges.
I do not see any reason to download the full blockchain.
Also installed dogecoin-qt and a bunch of purses for other coins.

I use blockchain because it feels like a trustworthy and secure wallet. I feel safe with my Bitcoins in there.

If I were you I wouldn't trust any online wallet. Never keep big amount of your coins online. It is fine to keep small parts for shopping or fast transactions. But you should have standard offline wallet too. I use Bitcoin Core. A force of habit I suppose mixed with a little bit of paranoia. It serve me well tho. |

Lately, for the time being, I have changed wallet clients, just because I want to see if there are any other wallets I might like more than the one I currently use. There are a lot of great wallets mentioned in this thread.

well, maybe you should reconsider this little bit..after all those bad news I even can't believe it.. You mean that many stock exchanges were closed and all the lost money? Those exchanges that have closed in recent years have given me all the coins, and warned the closure. I constantly buy and sell different altcoins. I can not transfer each time the wallet. If you do, that's mean you supporting the Bitcoin network. I already support Bitcoin - I use it.  |

Dogecoin has a few lightweight wallets of its own. It also has a much lower spam limit compared with Bitcoin, so its blockchain is already quite bloated for a coin of its size. If you don't want to go through the hassle of downloading the entire blockchain, you could always try MultiDoge (fork of MultiBit) or Electrum-Doge (fork of Electrum). I use blockchain because it feels like a trustworthy and secure wallet. I feel safe with my Bitcoins in there.
Blockchain.info recently encountered some problems with their Android wallet which exposed a few serious technical issues with their programming practices. They're still probably better than other online wallets out there since you have control over your private keys but my confidence in them isn't quite as strong as it used to be: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1085983But basically all my money on the stock exchanges.

Do you mean stock exchanges as in Cryptostocks/Havelock Investments-type stuff or altcoin exchanges like Cryptsy/Poloniex/Bittrex? History has shown that using an exchange as a wallet for storing anything above small amounts isn't a good idea. I don't know much about how cryptocurrency stock exchange platforms work or what options are currently out there and there probably aren't enough of them out there to make any proper assumptions about their security but at least on a technical level, they're not all that much different from other type of exchanges (e.g. Mt. Gox, Bter, MintPal, Poloniex, Bitstamp, etc.) and many of these have lost some or all their users' funds in the past. |

Which Bitcoin Client do you use and why ? If you use web wallets, please do mention which one is your choice and why ?
I don't use any web wallets (well I used to ) but not anymore since they aren't that safe after all .I prefer offline wallets that I have control 100% , and in case I got hacked , I can't blame anyone or anything but my self . Using Bitcoin COre for the moment I just use it to help the Bitcoin Network by running a node however I guess I will change it because I don't have much RAM also it eats a lot of CPU which I really can't afford which this crappy PC  I may switch de Multibit HD (seems like it have nice features) or Electrum . |

I use coinbase to store my btx fund in its vault ( cold Storage ). I feel coinbase vault is secure to store your bitcoins. Because, to withdraw it requires to verify the withdrawl request from 2 mail ids.

I've been using blockchain ever since I started bitcoin, a friend suggested me to use it because it's safe and have low deposit fee. I've also tried coinbase, I didn't really like it, it really depends on yourself actually. But blockchain I find it very secure and very easy to use. It's like investing with a leather or ripped wallet. That's what clients are about, some are better some are worse, I suggest blockchain. |
