Topic: Bitcoin wallet (Read 1365 times)
if you are a newbie i think i could highly recommend you a multibit wallet, its a desktop wallet and its very easy to use for new to bitcoin people, also you can try blockchain.info
Electrum, Multibit are decent PC wallets, blockchain.info is a decent online wallet IMO.
i would not recommend any of the given to choose i would pick blockchain.info instead
For a new user in bitcoin, I'll suggest electrum.
It's really easy to use and install, Beginner Friendly wallet is best wallet
If you got money, you could also get hardware wallet, but it's expensive. But hey, it's save.

No, that's a terrible idea. Starting newbies off with a web wallet is simply teaching bad practice. Get bitcoin core, electrum, or armory. Blockchain.info is great for somethings, but is generally considered an awful idea for storing funds there. Download bitcoin core, electrum or armory. Or buy a trezor. Those are the safest ways to go assuming your pc is secure.
I just finished part 2 of my TREZOR hands on dealing with android mobile usage - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.13321397 .
Hardware wallets really do some nice things for security. I think eventually most will use them for holding coins. I do think paper will always exist for those cold storage you never touch, and hot wallet for little daily spending. But I think its somewhere in between those two where hardware wallets really shine.

I m Newbie. Can anyone help me? 
Blockchain should be good i think. espcially for newbie about bitcoin, blockchain is a online simple wallet that only need code and password. no need verification like xapo.
I usually recommend that new users get started by using one of the more popular web wallet broker services like Coinbase or Circle. Once someone is used to buying Bitcoin and moving it around some I recommend they look into better solutions like a mobile wallet and a hardware wallet for long term storage. I have nothing against Coinbase or Circle and I used them both to this day. But if you store your money in a service you're trusting that service to let you have them back. I discuss all this in the tutorials on my website. If you're still confused give them a look.
In my opinion I don't use either I don't like either of them I personally use my android wallet.But it sadly can't sign messages
I m Newbie. Can anyone help me?
now it's timing to simple wallet and we can use anywhere with my mobile device i suggest you this wallet
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.schildbach.wallet
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycelium.wallet
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=piuk.blockchain.android
I've used Xapo before without any problems so, I'd say Xapo.
I'm probably biased though xD

my suggestion is browse for the possible answers in older threads first before opening new one, this kind of question is already answered a THOUSAND times already and thats the first thing you should know
You can use the exchange services online like Coinbase and Xapo sites, they are offering wallets services online and it's not bad. Otherwise you can use the blockchain wallet also
Xapo is good and you can use online or mobile application. It will serve your needs and help you to start with Bitcoin.
i remember that i used blockchaininfo wallet the first time i started to use bitcoins now i use multibit though its still nothing too much complicated just another newbie wallet thats why i recommend one of those wallets i believe they are the best
if you want to use online wallet i won't suggest for both and i think blockchain wallet more better than Xapo wallet but if you want to save your huge amount of bitcoin i think hardware wallet is the best option
I would add third option on vote as hardware. I really think it's the way of the future.
Slowly I see hardware taking over paper. I still have some paper in safety deposit box. But hardware is really nice to be able to actually use it safely. I went from very big paper supporter, to a pretty big hardware wallet supporter.

i dont vote anything,not that two,just because i dont know which is better,i just know xapo is not good enough for me,and i will suggest you some better wallet :
- coinbase
- blockchain
- trezor
so,if you think you gonna be join on bitcoin world,dont too focus with wallet,but try to get some bitcoin first.

i would recommend you to use the blockchain.info online wallet as it would be really easy to start with there is a demo account that you can check out before dealing with real bitcoins after this wallet you could search for more complicated ones
I would go with a mobile wallet such as Airbitz or Mycelium. Avoid blockchain wallet and web wallets such as Coinbase or Circle. You can have funds frozen on those.
Mycelium has a local trader built in. Airbitz has 20% discount on Starbucks and 10% off Target built in through Fold. Airbitz is both on iOS and Android while Mycelium is only on Android. Oh another potential good one is Breadwallet but that is only on iOS.
In closing go for Airbitz, Mycelium, and Breadwallet.
Long term storage then the obvious choice is Ledger or Trezor or Armory and paper wallets encrypted with passwords.

I would second this, been using mycelium for a while now and its great. For desktop i use bitcoin core which does the job but obviously a big download.
