Poll: How many exchanges and wallets do you use?

[DannyHamilton]

Can u plz point out where Satoshi Nakamoto recommended this way ?

The original Bitcoin Whitepaper. Before he every even released the software.

Section 10. Privacy

a new key pair should be used for each transaction to keep them from being linked to a common owner.

4 wallets for me. 1 on btc-e, 1 on bitstamp, 1 on my computer, 1 paper wallet.

Maybe one exchange wallet holding 0 btc in 99.9% time only for buy/sell bitcoin, one for for holding a small amount of bitcoin for daily usage, one holding all the rest bitcoin offline.
Just my own guess.

If people are into alt coins, I would think they will have more wallets at exchanges. I don't mine or buy alts, so I only have 3 bitcoin wallets, and 1 exchange account which holds no coins.

With my local currency:

I have a "very secure" storage at the bank, but it's difficult to access the cash if I want it ( either wait until they are open to make a withdrawal, or use an ATM which has limits and fees)

I also can store some cash in my pocket. This is much more convenient (I have the cash immediately at hand at every moment) Unfortunately, this is a high risk situation where a thief could steal it.  Pulling too much out of my pocket can even make me a target for thieves. Therefore, to reduce risk, I generally carry much smaller amounts in my pocket at any moment.

To have easier access, while reducing risk of theft, I can store moderate amounts of cash in my house in a safe. I can use this to replenish what I spend from my pocket.

I use a similar "multi-tier" approach with Bitcoin.

I have paper wallets for "very secure", but inconvenient storage of larger amounts.
I have a web hosted, or mobile device, wallet for high risk but quick access small amounts.
I have an Armory (or Electrum offline) wallet to replenish my "carrying around" wallet or for purchases from websites while at home.

This is a great approach, it should be advocated or at least described on the wiki ...

[elavenil]

I use my multibit wallet mostly. And also having some wallet in https://blockchain.info/.

I use bitcoin-QT with armory and blockchain on my phone.
I try to use as many exchanges as possible, but only keep money on 3 or 4.  Cavirtex, VOS, Bitfinex, Bter, Korbit, Coinplug, Kraken, Btc-e, looking into BitX. 
Used to use Gox, Vicurex and Bitup before they imploded.
Looking forward to the launch of Ciphertade as well.
Peace

I only use a single wallet on my desktop computer, running Bitcoin-QT; I don't actually have many BTCs now due to having got goxxed hard, and I never had lots of them anyway, thus I'm ok with a single-wallet setup (of course with encryption and proper wallet backup).

I trade on various exchanges and I have an active account on almost all the ones trading in EURs, but I don't keep money there unless actively using it.

[Cryptogirl82]

only cryptsy is real.

[Cryptogirl82]

I use to use cryptorush.in before they closed down. But that was a scam site anyway!
