Hello everyone,
I am new to the whole Bitcoin thing. I'm learning that there are a bunch of different Bitcoin wallets out there and from the research i've done some are better than others. I'm looking for something that will keep my Bitcoin safe but also something that's not going to charge a fee every time i go to make a transaction. What's the most popular wallet that everyone is using? Any feedback helps!
Thanks,
Danolanater

Depends on how many bitcoins you'll have. If it's a small amount, you can use Electrum. It's easy to use. If you'll have allot of bitcoins, use Armory, it has the most security. The bitcoin qt is good too and fairly secure.

The safest is the Armory, but a good one is Multibit.. If I had to say just one, I would probably stick with Armory.. you can pretty do much anything with it. The bad part is its a memory hog, I believe you need 6gb of memory for it to run properly, but most computers these days have that..
Electrum is also a good choice..

A wallet that does not charge a fee is not a good idea as it could result in your TX taking a week orso till it gets a confirmation. Other than that all of these wallets [1] are recommended. [1] https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet |

Thats not a wallet, its an exchange. You have no control over the private keys, thus if some BTC-e employee with access to the keys thinks the payment/work sucks, your coins are gone and there is nothing you can do about it. |

Depends on what your needs are. Wallets are only as safe as you are too. I'd maybe start with a blockchain.info wallet. You can choose not to send a fee, but you should include a small one just to help the miners out. You can also use blockcahin.info app on your iphone or android device to send payments easily.

This exact same question has already been asked here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=724219.0If you're going for a desktop wallet go for one that doesn't download the blockchain, otherwise you'll probably be waiting a while to get your coins. |

I've been using blockchain.info ever since 2013 and haven't had a single complaint so far.  |

Long storage or for daily use? I prefer MultiBit, as it is a lightweight-client and thus doesn't have to download the whole Blockchain! It just downloads parts of the blockchain from certain peers and is ready to use a lot faster! Electrum is also great and you can easily back-up your wallet by storing the seed.

Electrum is a pretty decent wallet. It's rather easy to use and yet you can configure your transactions manually if you like to. You can also define which addresses you like to use to fund your transaction and have watch-only wallets. The seed-method they use to deterministically create your addresses is great, too!

But it's a Web wallet. One of the more trustworthy ones, granted, but if you're looking for a 'true' wallet, you may want to use one that actually runs on your machine and manages the private keys to your Bitcoin addresses itself! |

Armory is my choice, maybe it has too many advanced options but it's still easy to use.
