Core dev leaves me neg feedback #abuse #political
another electrum fan here. also it doubles as a brain wallet, and you never have to back anything up except your seed. the only drawback is people don't tip the servers enough, me included. no good way to incentivize full nodes for now.
Blockchain.
I have to say Electrum is the best one I have used, not having to download or update the blockchain locally is a massive plus.
I prefer Bitcoin Core and a secure non windows environment. For shopping I have only shopped online from my desktop(s), so I have not needed any mobile wallets, yet.
You should really try Electrum. Once you tried it, you will never use any other wallet.
It is simple the best wallet ever made, please give it a try.

I can't import my keys to Electrum, or I can't find how.
Go to the menu "Wallet" -> "Private keys" -> "Import".
Very easy, no problem.
Only thing you whould be aware of is that you cannot retrive the imported private key later using your master seed (obviously). But you will also get a warning about this. All it means is that if you import private keys, then keep a backup of them somewhere.
Hardware if you got control over your situation.
Im still reping the good ol Core for security reasons, I was always scared to move them anywhere else. May start migrating to Bitcoin XT if the Core devs don't wake up and increase the blocksize already.
I only use blockchain for amounts under 10 BTC.
Why not multibit, seems fast. For Android, I hear electrum is good.
Multibit will charge you extra fees to use their wallet. in other ways they force you to pay fee to the wallet devs in order to be able to send your transactions.
Electrum is much better.
i would wait for multibit 3d if i were to choose one spv wallet, but for now electrum it seems the best one
also current multibit does not look really secure, i heard of people losing coins randomly when performing certain action
I am using blockchain.info for few months, but I do not face any such problem as you have experienced and for future information I will note down your points, I would like to try my wallet on Mycelium and read positive feedback about it from our bitcointalk members.
I like blockchain wallet too but since the time that stress test had started i plan to stop using their as the wallet are late on recieving transactions

Caveat about Multibit classic: the miner fee is fixed at .0001, so expect to wait in line for a long while if you plan to send coins.

Usually i just generated from paperwallet and only imported private key to blockchain wallet whenever i need it
I have many desktop wallets and a few online wallets. I also have a ledger hardware wallet for my hoard. I use multi it for small amounts and occasionally take micro payments to my online capo and coin awe.
There are so many free wallets out there, what's to stop you trying them all?
I absolutely recommend you do invest in a hardware wallet though. One theft can ruin you.

As many have already said, there is no real good or bad wallet, however.....
I personally believe in the fact that you should trust nobody when it comes to bitcoins just as with money. So in my opinion, a good wallet is one where you have full control over the wallet and the private keys contained within that wallet. If you don't it means that you are putting your trust in somebody else and we all know how that turns out most of the time.
Personally I work with MyCelium and paper wallets. Many do not like paper wallets or find them a pain to work with but for me it offers the best security and it's actually very easy and straightforward to use. I just import a paper wallet and send what I don't need back to the next paper wallet in line so the bulk of my coins are always in a paper wallet.

Electrum is the best. I am very happy with it. You should give it a try.

based on your needs
There is another option.If you just want to keep you can generate Bitcoins wallet on the "generator wallets" and save the private key (not in the computer)
I don't think anyone has shared this link yet -> https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet
This might help you select a wallet based on your needs. There's no one best wallet, but a lot are better than others. And a lot requires some protocol to be considered "better than the rest" and if you're not willing to follow that protocol that particular wallet won't work well for you.
