Topic: Best bitcoin wallet? - page 16. (Read 47187 times)
i use Bitcoin Wallet for mobile phone (http://wallet.schildbach.de/), Xapo online wallet and paper wallet.
The best bitcoin wallet for me is the one that gives you the access to your private keys and have 2 factors authentication system so the change to be hacked is very low
Hello :-)
The best wallet is paper wallet for secure storage, or electrum.
Cheers

paper wallet
I use trezor
for a hot wallet i use blockchain.info online wallet though i transfer all my leftover funds to my hardware wallet which i keep safe so no one can steal my coins
Even the best software wallet can be compromised if someone will gain access to your machine. That is I think bitcoin security is not about installing the 'best wallet' but rather how you manage your coins yourself.
Don't blindly believe that there are some better wallet which will do awesome stuff even if you fail at keeping your machine safe.

This is the best advice IMHO...
Even, I don't prefer these online wallets, not even desktop ones, I preferably go for offline wallets and even paper wallets so as to keep my coins safely and use them based on my convenience...

My opinion is coinbase. I using it and it's good.
Personally, I enjoy using Electrum as the block chain is kept on the database for the wallets, and does not need to download the full chain onto your computer and rather is managed electronically. Not to mention that your Electrum wallet is tied to a secret chain of words so that not only can you operate your wallet on multiple systems while having them all synced together as they are all connecting to the same wallet data, let's say that you encrypt your wallet and then months down the road forget your encryption code, you can restore your wallet from that original secret chain of words and the encryption is removed.. 
Not specific question, what a good point is here? Whether from the security, appearance, speed, features, etc.
security is not important in the sense that you need a cold storage anyway, so any good wallet it's okish, appearance also not important at all
core is not fast enough but it has everything you need, you can anyway store a backup of the blockchain to sync instantly
What is the best bitcoin wallet?
it really depends on what you are planning on doing with the bitcoin:if you are new to bitcoin and dont really know much about wallets and how they work: go to coinbase.com
if you just want to store it and dont plan on spending anytime soon : get a paper wallet from bitaddress.org
if you plan on doing alot of transactions everyday to multiple users: get electrum wallet for pc
if you spend and receive money occasionally : get mycelium for android, (if you have an apple device: get bither)
after trying electrum I will never use another! easy setup with a long pass phrase you save that can get your wallet back if computer dies.
Super fast sync up and going in minutes.

multibit is good wallet, Im use it too
but i need wallet where i can use it everywhere, now im use mycellium wallet
also i use xapo for small transaction
Any good HD (Hierarchical Deterministic) wallets such as Multibit and Electrum.
BlockChain is the best BTC wallet.
I would disagree here. Despite their past and present problems I would not use. It is ok maybe to use for smaller payments and online wallet but to use as a main I would no use it. Am so in love with bither provides online offline vanitygen custom address and used on many platforms. Used others that have been spoke of in here but find them to be a nightmare if something goes wrong. I like simple and effective.
You can't depend on online wallet (blockchain) too much. As we know that blockchain having many issue recently. Many will face problem because of this issue like can't pay loan or purchase goods etc.
I'm also recommend to make offline wallet to back up your online wallet's balance so you still can operate your blockchain's fund even they have problem
Am not dependent on it as with Bither not sure what it checks think uses blockchain to read latest blocks and indexes it all as it is a light weight wallet. I have all my wallets all saved backed up and keys and wallet.dat secured and stored if in case problems do arise and have a back up plan in the event of something bad happening.

After all some suggested "best" bitcoin wallet here, I think newcomers will now have an idea on what will they choose.
More importantly, the best bitcoin wallet is YOU. Learn all the safety guidelines to make your bitcoin wallet (especially of course, your beloved bitcoins) safe.
