Topic: Choose the most used type of wallet (Read 3333 times)

Whoever told you this buddy has lied to you a lot. Blockchain.info is the worst wallet you can use out there. You shouldn't be using online wallets in the first place and especially not blockchain.info! Even Bitcoin.org has taken it down from their list of official wallets since they had many, many reliability problems lately!

Download Multibit or Electrum and have a real control over your money and don't let others save your bitcoins.

I use blockchain wallet as it is the best an more user friendly and secured wallet that can be used both on pc and smartphone.

I use Multibit Classic,and I'm quite satisfied for now.What is important to always made backup of your wallet files including private keys backup.

This kinda handy post. So I can see what kind of wallet I should use.

This is a food information for noobies. Like me.

I m use Xapo to daily spend bitcoin
it's free fee

web wallet is simple i can spend anytime, anymore

but

im still use paperwallet to save Big amount

Why not use an offline SPV based wallet, instead of a web based one. You should, at the very least, have a paper wallet back-up of your private keys.

And using 2FA adds another layer of security.

I personally use the Bitcoin core client as my pc wallet. It's the best if you ask me. As far as the mobile platform goes, I use the blockchain.info wallet. It does everything I want it to do.

The most used type of BTC wallet is Blockchain Web wallet  It's free, easy and you can sign in from any computer 

I transfer between blockchain.info web wallet with many wallet backups and also my localbitcoins account with 2fa authentication 

I use electrum for my daily usage because it is lightweight and much easy to use on my old laptop.
So i choose the option software wallet.

According to me hardware wallets are not easy to use, though i have never used them.
And the paper wallets can not be considered for daily usage.
Brain wallet's security is very poor and anyone can crack it with brainflayer.

I used bitcoin core and electrum. Both work pretty smooth and I never had any issues. I also tried web wallets in my early days of Bitcoin. At that time I had no clue how dangerous it could be to leave your coins there as they are not really yours. As I noticed this I stopped using web wallets.

I use a web wallet; Coinbase. There are to many reasons for this choice even seems that an web wallet is less secure than a personal one had in your computer. First i can access to this kind of wallet from every place i want. Impossible with the wallet in my computer. Then the money in Coinbase there are secure because 98% of customer funds are stored offline. So no any kind of hacker can stole those. Then you have full control of your money because you can create a multisig vault in minutes, just like you would do with a regular vault or wallet. The difference is that in this case you're in total control of your private keys. You control the majority of the keys and the keys are created and encrypted in the browser. And the last benefit you have from having such wallet is the insurance. 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. Coinbase has held this insurance since November 2013 with highly rated carriers (S&P rating of A+ or A.M. Best Rating of A XV or higher).

Like a lot of people I started on Blockchain.info but I switched to Blocktrail. It's better in about everyday and has nice cross platform support.

i will choose for Web wallets and i use blockchain wallet currently

i know this is not the best wallets and some people having issue with this wallet but i feel comfortable use that

Well i would keep the poll as it but maybe if someone else after the final result would open a new poll he could individualise it.

Until now I wasn't surprised to see web+software wallets have more than 90% but 50% goes to software wallets well that wasn't expected (good thing  )

Multibit works really well for me when I have to store bitcoins.

Software wallet for easy usage. Hardware wallet for security. Online wallet for nothing I guess!
I still think it is best to use core alone. Even if it is big.

I think most used one is web wallet because people including me find it easy to store bitcoin without knowing how actually bitcoin and blockchain technology works.
