What are the best Bitcoin Desktop Wallets?Can you introduce some one  Smiley

I also use and would highly recommend the Exodus. I have never been disappointed with it, it works very well and I think it is really worthy and probably the only worth recommending.

Exodus is good for a number of altcoins. This wallet is easy to use, but transaction costs are very high fot BTC. I reccomend  Electrum for bitcoin.

Exodus, Jaxx, Armory, bitcoin core -  All multicoin wallets has advantages and dissatvangaes.

Jaxx - average mostly, used by many. Not requesting for pin code to enter, just when send money way, then must enter pin code. If I understand correctly you can use same jaxx on two different pc`s...

Exodus - can be used only on one pc (IP adress), but may be in most new version they already solved this? to enter your wallet you need a pin code, but no need pin code when you send your money away (opposite to Jaxx);  What is good about Exodus, that is quite comfortable for Euro zone people as you can change setting to see your coins in a value of euros (in JAXX only in USD). also in Exodus there is an exchange integraded, which can be quite comfortable and quickly sometimes if you want to exhange your altcoins from one to another and so on. As well Exodus has a lot of different altcoin wallets integrated (decred, ether, bcc, btc of course and many others).

Armory - what is good about armory, that it really difficult hacked (so they say so), because you use two armories (as one). one is on your online computer, another is offline. So all signatures (to send money) you sign in offline computer...  but I never tried Armory myself honostly...not sure it is all works correctly;

bitcoin core - a classic. personally I don`t use this atm.


So from 10 points I think I would give 8 points to Exodus, 6 points to Jaxx, 7 to Armory and 7 to bitcoin core. I would choose Exodus / Jaxx, mostly Exodus because of more possibilities of different alts.

P.s but of course, If you have reasonable amount of coins I would reccommend to buy a hardware wallet - this is currently a safest way to keep your coins.

I use Electrum as Desktop and Mobile Wallet. Jaxx Wallet https://jaxx.io/ seems to be great for altcoins? It also has a feature to import paper wallets.
I was looking for this feature because I like to gift friends some BTC on a paper wallet and they will need to extract these BTC to their own wallet at some point.

Exodus has a very nice GUI but I didnt find it very functional during my search for a way to import paper wallets.

My favorite Bitcoin desktop wallet is Electrum https://electrum.org/.  My favorite desktop wallet with a bunch of altcoin functionality is Exodus https://www.exodus.io/.  It supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Decred, EOS, Salt, Dash, Augur, Dogecoin, and more.  Great user interface as well IMO.

I personally recommend Electrum and Exodus as desktop wallet.

But what do you guys think about Jaxx - is it worth to try this wallet?

Jaxx is quite similar to Exodus in functionality plus it has mobile version. Both are not open source.

Maybe its a silly question, but i just downloaded ELECTRUM and i thought there would be a InstallWizard.
The Wallet is now set in the AppData/Roaming/Electrum Folder, but i would like to change the Location of Electrum.exe, is this possible now
or should i leave Electrum.exe in the Download Folder??

Seems like a lot of votes for Electrum. What's the benefit to Bitcoin Core? What resources does it take to host a node? Could you use an external hard drive for your wallet? Would that improve security as it can easily be taken offline?

Yes, generally running core on a separate hard drive is more secure as it can be taken offline. However one risk is that the hard drive may fail. You can also use a paper wallet for cold storage and a normal wallet for your hot funds.

I would highly recommend Bitpay wallet for desktop. It works on every major operating system and on both IOS and android. It is very user friendly and its currently my main wallet.

Blockchain.info is a web wallet but it's really good.



For me Electrum is one of the most robust, effective and secure desktop wallets out there.This reduces the chance of malicious code inside the software to practically zero.  Also it’s open source, meaning many people have taken part in reviewing and composing the code.
