Topic: Bitcoin wallet (Read 1369 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.

Blockchain isn't that good as the website has been down almost thrice to 4 times and due to this major transactions have been delayed. The total communities too now prefer blocktrail as there hasn't been any complaints.
Other wallets which are good including Electrum.
There idea of something If have many space on harddisk (1+TB) council As for storage and Using desktopwallet more convenient and always there access your coins and not frozen from breakdowns servers and technical works, but with Different sides Sync How LONGTIME principal in working with Finance blockchain, says about easy, there is of course better use the Coinbase of something
I m Newbie. Can anyone help me?
Among xapo & bitwallet, i would recommend xapo. Because, bitwallet is not yet even added on https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet and after these wallets, i'll recommend you to use some offline/desktop wallet. That will be flexible too to use. Because, of the online wallets were shared wallet so you won't able to get the private keys of your address.
Hi! Welcome in this forum.
I recommend to use the Xapo.
It is a good wallet.

Look into offline wallets like a paper or hardware wallet.
Never leave any coins on a exchange or online wallet for long.
Move them offline at the end of your day.
Use mycelium or alike so you can sweep you paper wallet when you need to acsess you bitcoins.

Coinbase is the best. simple, safe and low fee.
if you have a safe pc, which does not mean adding antivirus, but mean that you're diligent in not installing crap random .exe and stuff like that
you can go with the desktop version, which i believe is the best, 100% control over your money

I have been using blockchain, because I think it's safer
For now if you want to just discover bitcoin just have a online wallet like BlockChain.
Try some faucets or try sole alt coins and invest.
When you type in google like "Bitcoin getting started" you well see what you need to do. What is bitcoin, which wallet and more.

i reccomend you to use xapo for savings and blockchain for your bitcoin activites, both have the advantages and disadvantages, so you need try to read the faq or term of service
I actually used quite a few of them and as far as classification goes blockchain and electrum are the fastest and easiest to use clients and fit the need gor rapid access to BTC. multibit is slow but better since you don't depend on an intermediate site, bitcoin client is slow but the original, armory is the best if you are dealing with large amounts of BTC in offchain settings.
Do you want to use a hardware wallet or a desktop version or an online wallet ? These are the few options you can consider .I would recommend using Hardware wallet : If you have lot of bitcoins and you need to save them .
Desktop version : If you're really comfortable with tech terms like PGP and encryption you can use an install wallet version on your desktop .
Online wallet : Just for daily simple transactions for a newbie in bitcoin ,use blockchain.info or xapo.I still suggest use blockchain.info.very simple to use .Also note I haven't disclosed names of hardware or desktop wallets as I'm not really sure which one's are the best.

I didn't recommend any of those. I recommend with high responsibility Coinbase. I ma telling only few of the qualities that have such wallet. All the fees that you pay in all the other wallets when send bitcoin, in this wallet are paid by the wallet. So no fee for you. Any kind of fee. Then 98% of customer funds are stored offline. Offline storage provides an important security measure against theft or loss. Coinbase distribute bitcoin geographically in safe deposit boxes and vaults around the world. So every possible hacking will have, maximum, only a few satoshi as "earnings" for their work. Coinbase is insured against employee theft and hacking in an amount that exceeds the average value of online bitcoin it holds at any given time. Specifically, Coinbase's insurance policy would respond in the event that bitcoin stored in Coinbase was lost or stolen as a result of a breach of our physical security, cyber security, or as a result of employee theft. There are even much more but if you are interested can go to their site and discover all yourself. Do a search with this name and will appear immediately their site.
