The best wallet for me has been the desktop one. recently updated to bitcoin for 0.9 and it has been nice i like it and definatly my favorite of the updates so far.
Indeed 0.9.0 is very good and just if you care about security of your computer your BTC should be very safe! Smiley

The best wallet is a cold storage.

Not really a wallet though, is it?

You can use some official/very good desktop wallets www.bitcoin.org is recommending

There are no "official" wallets.  Bitcoin is an open source protocol with no international organization in control to make anything "official"

If you will lose money from your online wallet because of some attacks or something, they will never give you back - as they will tell you "it was a free wallet, you are using it on your own risk!"

So better to keep your money close to you. Like on your hard drive.

And if you lost money from your desktop wallet because of some attacks or something, they will never give you the bitcoins back, as they will tell you "it was a free wallet, you are using it at your own risk!"  So, desktop wallet isn't any better for that.

Desktop wallets are a good option for many people, but they can only be used while you are sitting at your computer.  Blockchain.info is a much better option if you desire portability.  It has many useful features and can be accessed from a desktop, tablet, or smartphone.

Hmm IMO blockchain. Info  security sux a lot.
But chose us yours.

You say that blockchain.info security sux, but you give no reason?

Blockchain.info does not have access to your private keys.  That means that nobody at blockchain.info can access your bitcoins, and that hackers can't get access through the blockchain.info database either.

They also provide you with the ability to create backups of your wallet so that you can still access your bitcoins if blockchain.info disappears.

What security does a desktop provide that is better than blockchain.info?

Blockchain.info is very safe, especially with two factor set up and the second password you need to input to send money. It's a shame the other wallets don't have this cos if you have a keylogger then you're shit outta luck.

Desktop!

Best wallet is a wallet that is under your control.
If you want to transfer btc in and out I suggest android bitcoin wallet (official).

For desktop - Bitcoin qt (example)

If you want to buy some BTC and hodl - paper wallet / cold wallet



Never heard about this one, I'll check it out!

About which of them you never heard? Smiley

i am using online wallet i thinks its better for me! bcoz i never heard about other one if any one clear me difference in those about best Smiley please

Ok - if you are using online wallet - if server is down - you cannot use your wallet, it there will be some attack on this server you may lose your btc.

That is why I recommend to DO NOT keep your money @ online wallets.


Not quite with blockchain.info. If the site goes down you can still use your wallet.dat on another application. The site is pretty safe. Other online wallets probably aren't though.

I think multibit is the best. No long blockchain download and can easily import and export keys.

Blockchain.info is pretty good for me. But if you've got a ton of money, then cold storage would be the best solution.

You can use some official/very good desktop wallets www.bitcoin.org is recommending :
Bitcoin-Qt , Multibit , Armory.

And for android device : Bitcoin Wallet.

Those are the best options.

If you will lose money from your online wallet because of some attacks or something, they will never give you back - as they will tell you "it was a free wallet, you are using it on your own risk!"

So better to keep your money close to you. Like on your hard drive.
