Which Bitcoin Client do you use and why ?

Which Bitcoin Client do you use and why ? If you use web wallets, please do mention which one is your choice and why ?

[faiza1990]

I am using blockchain because I feel its better then others and I feel secure with this

[corebob]

I use Bitcoin-Qt + Armory because I like to have paper backups of my wallets, and because I like to have the blockchain locally.

If I were to use a online wallet I would use blockchain.info because Andreas M. Antonopoulos works there.

[lnternet]

blockchain.info is really good as your hot wallet

for medium term funds I'd use paper wallets or 1 time brain wallets with pass-phrases (1 on your desk, 1 local backup, 1 cloud backup)

for long term funds cold storage, there is some guides like here http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinWallet/comments/1p6y5c/secure_paper_wallet_tutorial/

Bitcoin-Qt and Armory. Also, Mycelium.

I like to run a full node for the network. I like to feel comfortable with my security. Also, I like convenience when dealing with small amounts.

I use Bitcoin wallet

If you dont mine it sure enough and I have no problem with it.

I guess best to use recomended by bitcoin.org stuff.

This is a good read, I like reading people's feedback on their different storage methods...

I encrypt wallet.dat w/15 character password using qt and have many backups

Best backup is a paper backup I guess.

All hdd and usb drivers might fail paper might burn but what is more realistic?

Some kind of M of N scheme is probably the best. It protects against theft and destruction if done properly.

Perhaps right. But it might not work for all of us.

Same here.

This is good method and propably one of the best.

So if someone is looking for BEST option around - this is it I guess.

I use litecoin qt for my LTC, but I haven't used the bitcoin qt, I will probably end up using it for a portion of my holdings, but I am impatient with downloading the entire blockchain..

bitcoind. Because I think everyone should use a full node and because I'm a linux terminal weirdo.

And you could be hit by a car tomorrow, or you might die in your sleep If your paper wallet, stored in your desk, burns then your pc and whole house will probably go with it.
Only thing you can be sure of is a brainwallet. The question is, what if you have a stroke or something and forget?

I like " I'm a linux terminal weirdo "  what color is your terminal? Black & white or Black & Green?

Blank & pink. You know, HK likes pink stuff.

Every time I see your username, I think of that alcohol commercial that used to be on every 5 minutes... "I'll have a Disoranno...on the rocks"

BitcoinQT and Mycelium. BitcoinQT out of tradition and Mycelium because it handles well spending from paperwallets. Evangelizing Bitcoin by tipping people with paperwallets and not having a good way to redeem paperwallets other than Mycelium pretty much forces me to this. Hear blockchain.info would work, too.
