Looks like there's a new hardware Bitcoin wallet in town:

Not sure I'm feeling the pricetag though.   Undecided

yes sir, Coinbase is cool because not even they can steal their own bitcoins unless its a group effort, and come to think of it, I don't trust myself all too well either.

You should probably find out what happens to your money when their business fails and they declare bankruptcy.

my favorite bitcoin wallet is Coinbase because of its security.

they make long way just for changing password,
like confirming on email, ask on sms, and make a google auth..

for security reason, I choose coinbase...

I am sticking to the original Bitcoin Core wallet.
I don't see anything wrong with it so I didn't look for anything else.

A few things that can wrong with it are: your computer can be compromised (whether from the internet or someone you know) or your computer can crash and you haven't saved your wallet recently (and had money sent to new addresses that weren't yet saved in your old wallet.dat).

Oh, don't worry about it.
I have backups of the wallet.dat on 2 locations.
So even if my PC crashes and it's lost, I can recover my wallets  Wink

I voted for my Favorite wallet ELECTRUM It's fast, it's safe and it's convenient, I just love it. I have 2, one is kinda like a hot wallet and it stays on-line, another one is for cold storage and both work great.

@OP you should add more wallets in the poll from here: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

Can we add the new Copay wallet to the list? BitPay has done an excellent job with it built upon bitcore.
Bitpay needs to work on the marketing of copay. Very few users know about copay because it's still in beta phase.

I am using bitcoin qt and blockchain.info for convenience! Now I try to learn how to use Electrum, which directly shows up all the available address and quite useful.

I use blockchain.info for my hot wallet because of its convenience. I have a combination of paper wallet and something else for my cold storage. That seems to be the way to go about it.

I prefer to keep bitcoin in bitcoinQT because I think it is very safe. And also blockchain.info also very useful for storing my bitcoin (online)

Not sure why online wallets are listed here but never mind. I tried and used almost every one of them in the list here (not online) but nothing beats electrum for me right now. Serves well for my daily use. Fast, responsive, easy to use, multisig, HD, easy to remember recovery option, security. The next one that come closest is Armory

When it comes down to it, nothing beats the good old fashioned paper wallet!

Yes. I voted for the "can't believe you forgot to put it" choice... because my favorite wallets are my paper wallets.

Good point.  Nothing beats a good paper wallet if laminated and secured in a safety deposit box or fire proof safe.



Lol, that looks pretty good, but why would you have so many different wallets with 1 BTC each? wouldn't it be way easier to have it all on the same wallet, and print copies of this same wallet?

I do the same thing. It's genius because you can sweep and use just a bit at a time. Mycelium lets us pull from the paper wallet without sweeping, but still (psychologically at least) the wallet feels compromised.

My favorite wallet is Bitcoin's original wallet but I gave vote for blockchain.info. The reason why I gave blockchain.info is it is easy to use and I use it as hot wallet with limited funds in it. Bitcoin's wallet is very slow and it takes 25-30 minutes to open so I use it as cold storage.

I have not long been here just a few month so I don't know most of these wallets but I do know Blockchain.info and I will continue to use this until it is not safe to use it anymore.

It's not safe. Wink

Blockchain.info hacked for 255 BTC:

Blockchain.info makes a mistake and doesn't save private key:

Every online storage, cloud service or in general everything which enables 3rd party to be able to access your own data (in this case your money - bitcoin) are not to be trusted. Sooner or later there will be targeted by hackers. Blockchain is not exception here and you can only use it for small transactions. People usually keep there less that 1 BTC for security reasons. I would advise you do the same.

You should have quoted the person above me, but I agree. It's what I always tell people.

My vote is still for paper wallets. Wink
