I think offline wallet is better than online wallet. Offline wallet is safer than online wallet. There is always a chance of been hacked on online wallet. If your wallet is hacked than you will lose all of your money.

Electrum has been my favorite wallet so far for ease of use, looking forward to using DarkWallet when it gets released for Firefox!

Would probably say Armory for being one of the most secure wallets.

I suggest Electrum and blockchain.info wallet, as both of the two wallets are very easy to set up and use. Smiley

Multibit. It makes performing Bitcoin transactions quick and simple, it comes in a variety of languages because Bitcoin is without borders, it is free to download and is open source (MIT license), it is easy to install.

Which wallet is the best and why?


blockchain.info for the online wallet
it has BTC address, password and activation email when you registered
you back up the wallet if you forgot the password
you can add BTC address to receive BTC from the others
thanks
I think that the blockchain.info wallet is good if you will need to be accessing your wallet from multiple computers/devices. All you need is the identifier and the password and you are set at whatever (safe) device you are on.

If you only need to use the wallet on one computer then multibit is probably best as it is very user friendly and is more or less idiot proof.

Running a full node with Bitcoin Core (aka. bitcoin qt) is the best, not only to you but also to the whole bitcoin project.

No it's not. Actually if you don't know what you are doing you are harming the network...

Use MultiBit or Electrum for daily use! If you want to keep your coins safe for a long time and don't need to move them regularly, put them in a safe paper wallet or some other offline storage. Visit bitaddress.org for example! They're a great site!

bitcoin-qt because it is always the safest keeping money yourself, just don't let hacker took it..

The core Bitcoin-QT is relatively safe if you encrypt the wallet and are careful to avoid getting malware/trojans onto your machine.  If you are not careful then there's no more security having your keys in that file and accessible to whoever can access your backdoor.

You would need to keep the wallet offline if you're sloppy and download all kinds of "junk"

Yeah, but I think the biggest caveat of BitcoinQT is still that it has to download the whole freaking Blockchain! It's just too big nowadays. Therefore I really do prefer a lightweight client like MultiBit...

Electrum. It is awesome man. It gives you this 12-word seed. This is like a code you just have to remember or write down (somewhere safe) and it generates all your addresses from this seed, it's like magic. I don't even know how this works, man! But it's awesome and easy to use, really!!!

I like Multibit but I mainly use Coinbase's wallet service. I know a lot of people are afraid to use keep their BTC online but I personally feel very safe with Coinbase.
Especially now that they've introduced the Vault which allows you to store your BTC offline. If you verify your phone number you get added protection too, like if you log on from an unknown device, they'll send code to your phone that you'll need to enter before you can access your account.
The cool thing about keep my BTC online is that I can access it anywhere  Smiley

For a beginner: I would say that multibit is the best. It is very easy to use, and very hard to mess up.

I like MultiBit for the daily use. It's simple, clean and works pretty well. If you want to have a long term storage or just 'observe' your stash without being able to spend it, I'd recommend you to try Electrum or Bitcoin Armory! Electrum has got an awesome seed feature, as well that let's you backup your wallet from a 12-word seed!
