I chose Electrum because that's the one I have been using from a long time, I have also used Multibit but I find Electrum to be more user friendly.
I have a question on wallets and I am going to ask here instead of opening a new thread. I have never used Mobile wallets, never had any use for them but nowadays I find myself sometimes away from my PC and a need to send BTC and I was thinking of installing one and if someone has any suggestions on which one should I use, kindly let me know.
I need it somewhat like electrum, meaning I don't want to download the whole blockchain and I need it to have the ability to import/export private keys.
PS: My phone has Android OS.
Mycelium. Hands down best. Thanks.

I use blockchain.info for smaller transactions during the days and Electrum for holding more long term never had any problems, so if something is not broke then don't try fix it.

Why do you choose blockchain for smaller transaction? Does it can't send too much of bitcoin or did it take too long for the confirmation? And you choose electrum just for saving not for sending? I guess both of them is the same way for saving

I guess both of them is the same way for saving IMO he has his own reason! BlockChain is online wallet. Due to security concern, most ppl choose it to save small amount of bitcoin for daily spending! Electrum has high security. We can calmly save our money in it for long term!

I am sticking to the original Bitcoin Core wallet. I don't see anything wrong with it so I didn't look for anything else.
A few things that can wrong with it are: your computer can be compromised (whether from the internet or someone you know) or your computer can crash and you haven't saved your wallet recently (and had money sent to new addresses that weren't yet saved in your old wallet.dat). Oh, don't worry about it. I have backups of the wallet.dat on 2 locations. So even if my PC crashes and it's lost, I can recover my wallets You didn't get his points. Once you make 100 transactions or create new address, you need to back up you wallet again! One wallet.dat includes 100 addresses and once uses up all of addresses, the bitcoin client creates new address. So you old wallet.dat don't contain this new address! I think you should get now! I don't need to further explain!

I'm using Trezor for long term storage, Blockchain for day to day stuff (small deposits) so I don't have to worry about getting hacked

At first I used Blockchain.info, and then I started to move into Xapo. And I also want to try the BitcoinQT, but the blockchain size is too big for me.

faucet used to be profitable

What's the easiest wallet to use to acquire bitcoin from fiat? I want something that has the lowest barrier to entry and many of these are so complicated (seemingly) to get into. I remember it kept me out of the game back in 2013.
All thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.

I would say that Bitcoin QT is best suited for me, however Armory is great too. I see that some have voted for Blockchain and such, however people need to realize that online wallets aren't that safe. I agree that Bitcoin Core is quite sluggish, but it is probably one of the better options regarding to storing your coins on pc.
I really hope you dont store all your coins online as the risk of losing your coins is quite high with online storage.
We just have to wait for them to implement pruning and we won't have any trouble with that.

I'm starting to like the mobile version of Copay and is been quite good so far. Consider adding it as one of the options.
