Also, if I remember correctly the search feature here simply sucks, especially for newer members. What is it 6 minutes between searches?

That's why IMO it is better to use google search.
Just add "site:bitcointalk.org" in the end, and you could find the related threads here easily.

Thanks!

No problem. Smiley

Out of all the wallets i've used I really like armory for cold storage or large amounts and coinbase for merchant orders and consumer spending. I've been pretty hooked on overstock.com recently and it works amazingly with coinbase.

armory is great for cold storage -- it's the easiest tool to get used to keeping your coins cold. for day-to-day transactions, i still prefer blockchain.info to anything else.

Mycelium mobile app. Nice interface and very secure (as far as I've read) with good backup methods.

I am currently using a mobile wallet but am thinking about switching to a pc wallet...
I don't like the thought of an online wallet...

Usually I use blockchain.info, is safe with good graph and then, you have not to download the blockchain (20 GB+)

I'm not sure which wallet to use, I'm considering using Bitcoin core, but I don't exactly have the resources remaining (I have 28gb of storage left on my hard drive, my computer is really old and has stored a lot.) and I was considering using MultiBit, but I'm still wary about it. I'd prefer to use the core as opposed to anything else.

I'm currently using Coinbase, just for ease-of-use for now, until I can get the resources to get the Bitcoin Core. But I don't have a lot of BTC anyways, most of it is off making money elsewhere.

Coinbase is quite safe from what I've seen, but there is always the danger of a keylogger.

I'd say use the Bitcoin Core for storage, Coinbase for day-to-day transactions (Or a small holding area) and Blockchain for anything else mentioned.

I prefer blockchain because it can be used in mobile phones and websites,
but it all depends on your choice

For me, I prefer the original wallet, the Bitcoin Core.

I'm used it since years ago.

So i want to ask what is the best wallets that you have used storing your bitcoins??
it can be for mobile,for pc, and in a website

Well I personally use MultiBit for offline storage on my desktop. It's a simple lightweight client and you don't have to download the whole blockchain.
But I also really like the wallet service from Coinbase. I think they're probably one the safest online wallet available.
And of course the cool thing about an online wallet is that you have access to your BTC anywhere you are Smiley

For me, best bitcoin wallet is blockchain.info, why?

You haven't to download 20GB+ of block chain. Over this, if you use it correctly with a good security, is the top !

You don't have to download the entire blockchain with Electrum, either. It's very lightweight. And I would prefer having a lightweight desktop wallet to an online wallet. I'm pretty sure I've heard blockchain.info wallets can be exploited by JS script, but maybe that was BS, not sure. Not that I don't use it for small amounts / day-to-day stuff. I keep most of my coins offline.

the best wallet would be the wallet that allows you to send without forcing a tx fee for being under the "majic" number.

bitcoin-qt the way to go if resources aren't an issue imho.

Indeed. QT can drag resources/memory on my laptop, so I prefer using a lightweight client like Electrum for my online computer's wallet.

bitcoin-qt the way to go if resources aren't an issue imho.  If they are and your looking for a decent web-wallet solution, I would recommend blockchain.info

No matter what though...I wouldn't recommend accessing even your web wallet from a system that is having all kinds of arbitrary programs loaded on at any given time.  All it would take is one keylogger and you could be out of alotta fundage.  Always use some form of 2FA (2-factor authentication) whenever possible and for whatever option you decide to go with.
