I do not like the wallet electrum. I prefer multibit.
Now test "alpha.blockchain.info." They promise that it will be reliable.
Topic: Best BTC wallet? - page 5. (Read 4579 times)
There's no good or bad wallet, there's only good or bad choices.
Now you can try an online wallet and store your bitcoins there. That will probably be the baddest decision you will ever make.
And you can try some of the most leading paper wallets and store your bitcoins offline. That's pretty much the right way to go.

To be straight forward with that question:
There is no "Best" Wallet.
There will always be a wallet coming out and the updates or revision will always be better than it's predecessor.
But if I had to pick one I would say coinbase as so many others have said. They haven't really changed the format or layout of their site, because their isn't much to change if it already works well.

I have been using electrum for a while now i think is the best way to have a computer wallet dont really use any 3rd party sites with all the fishing and hacking problems this year.
I have also been using electrum for a while too, is one of the best solutions out there, i have a buddy that did a few plugins for me for price tickers and price alarms and is pretty cool what people could do with the plug in support. 
Since you ask this week, I'd say the answer is two fold:
Only one I know that does both is Bitcoin-Qt 0.10.2
Might not be the answer you were looking for.
No best wallets. There are just better wallets that fit your needs. Bitcoin-Core provides best security and utility. You can use it as your main wallet! Blockchain is convenient and easy to use. You can use for your daily spending! - A wallet that will suggest a TxFee that has some hope of succeeding in the current congestion.
- A wallet that lets you customize the fee you pay for TXs base on the fee suggestions

I use core and coinjar (outside of U.S) and haven't had any problems in over 2 years.

Try wallet32, it's the best btc wallet i have used so far and i have about 7 differant btc apps, only problem is no signed message option.
Mycelium would have to be one of the easist to use i have found and pairs great for cold storage, i also have the mycelium entropy to help with better security.
I use Coinjar for btc purchases and cash out but like Coinbase you dont control your own private keys so i never leave btc there for long.
And as others have said, never leave your btc on an exchange.

Core is a very good wallet, but requires the whole blockchain... Armory is very good, but also requires the whole chain, and it is only useful if you're more an advanced user. Electrum is SPV and really good, you should try it. Avoid online wallets!
I can't import my keys to Electrum, or I can't find how.
The objective in electrum isn't importing keys: it's entirely switching to a seed that can be memorized. Your previous keys will not be included in a new seed. So just create a seed, keep it safe and transfer your Bitcoins there.
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.

for desktop i still like core as the best wallet, i don't heave any problem in downloading the whole chain, so spv for me come with no advantage
for mobile the one that i like it's called "bitcoin wallet" has the same icon as the Core
for mobile the one that i like it's called "bitcoin wallet" has the same icon as the Core
I'm thinking about core for now. But what for my mobile device? I have iPhone, so iOS.. is there any legit wallet for it? I recently saw an article about Apple declining any Bitcoin related apps.
i'm n ot too familiar with ios wallet, but did you tried breadwallet? it seems that other wallet are running through centralized server

Check Mycelium and Circle if its compatible in IoS. That two is the top mobile wallet.
this is the list of available client for ios, https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet
Mycelium isn't there

All wallets are not "safe"*. I choose Mycelium in Mobile and Coins.ph as my online wallet provider .I only used online wallet when I like to cashout my btc in real money.

I did not really like MultiBit as my wallet, I stopped using it a year or so ago. It took too long to update when I did use it (esp. when used infrequently)..., it sometimes took TWO HOURS to update. Ugh.
For small amounts, I am OK with blockchain.info's wallet. I never keep (for long) more than, say, BTC0.5 there. blockchain.info does offer their SharedCoin mixing service, which for me is a nice plus.
I really like the hardware wallets as LiteCoinGuy above says, his thread is excellent for learning other people's experiences.
I am happy with both the Trezor and the Ledger Nano hardware wallets.

Simply stay away from Online wallets , they are the worst . (same goes for exchange websites ,don't keep them so long there) because all need to happens is them getting hacked and you will lose all .
I'd advice to go with Bitcoin Core, yes you will have to download the full blockchain . and here is how to import the private keyson it : https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/How_to_import_private_keys_in_Bitcoin_Core_0.7%2B

There are different wallets, and each is good in its own way. Even online wallets can be good for small money. I suggest you try out a few, and put in some dust to see how you like it. My favorite is electrum, but I cant say that it is the best.
