I know tons of people outside this forum that only use web wallets. It's more convinient for daily transaction. Not everyone also has a PC to have a software wallet.

Yes web wallets are good for newbies as well as who does many small transactions in a day and can access from any where but desktop wallets are good to store your large bitcoins safely. I use XAPO web wallet for my every day transactions to avoid my transaction fee and desktop wallet to store my bitcoins. Apart from these two I have blockchain wallets also.

I am mostly using Desktop wallet - I started with Multibit some years ago. Currently using MultibitHD.
I agree that to have wallet on my mobile is quite usefull and handy

. I have Mycelium for that.

I have wallet in XAPO too, but not used for large sum.

Whatever Bitcoin wallet you choose, it is important to protect it from hacking. By encrypting your passwords, backing up your wallet, and possibly using multi-signature you can ensure safety and security of your Bitcoins.

I use online wallets. Most people I know use online wallets. The safer option is to use hardware wallets, but people(including myself) are not bothered to download and set up all that stuff. I think the most popular wallets, are online wallets. Even though online wallets aren't the safest option, they are convenient and people are fine with using them at the risk of being attacked by malicious software. Another good way of using online wallets is your smartphone. Just put up your QR code for your account and people can easily send money to your account.

A combination of software and web wallets myself
Small but usable amounts in one wallet and cold storage for the other once the amount gets large enough

1. I mostly used/using web wallets. Because most of the time, when my PC is not with me web wallets will be the one and only choice to spend bitcoin.
2. I use software wallets, whenever my PC is with me.

And also i've more bitcoins in web wallets than i've in software wallet.

Hi
I made this pool so we can have an idea what is the most used type of wallets for the daily usage of bitcointalkers.

Please do not choose the option that you prefer and you think safer but the one that you use every day/week.
You can specify your wallet here after voting
The poll will run for 30 days

FAQ Tongue

Q: Why you made this topic?
A: for statistical purpose? Curiosity?

I will pick the second option: web wallet - blockchain.info (until now but with the repetitive downtime i may change it to coinbase)

You should have allowed multiple voting, as I use both online wallets, paper wallets and software wallets. However i voted for online wallets as they are the ones i use mostly.

You should add android/mobile phone wallet, for daily spending I used mycelium, it can used anywhere, anytime as long as you bring your phone, usually I bring my phone anywhere.

I recently got an Android phone but I've not installed a wallet on it yet, or investigated any of the wallet options. Is mycelium the most popular free wallet, and how much memory does it consume on a smart phone? I've been thinking about trying one of the Bitcoin ATMs but you need a smart phone wallet to use them.

Well in terms of number of downloads on google play store Andreas Schildbach's Bitcoin Wallet was the most popular as it has more than 500k+ downloads.But I can see most people here suggest mycelium and that's also my first mobile wallet. Its only small with 6+ MB

Software wallet unless there is phone wallet option. No normal people will use physical wallet. May be flase ten year later when btc get mainstream.

lol like many other people out there when i started using bitcoin, i was attracted to the coinbase mobile wallet. the app just looked extremely clean and well made to me, back then i didnt care about the features or worry about private keys. today i mainly use mobile wallets, i would use mycelium if i had an android but since mycelium on ios sucks im currently using bither

I was introduced to bitcoin with coinbase as my bitcoin wallet and most newbies right now were introduced first to either blockchain.info wallet or coinbase (for convenience as it was easy to sign up and does not need to download anything.) I guess thats the most type of wallet right now

For me, main the web wallet (Coinbase, Xapo and mobile CoinPocket) and paper wallets. I do use the bitcoin core in the past but seldom nowadays as I have not been synchronizing the blockchain data for months...

Move On !!!!!!

I use mycelium, Electrum and Trezor. Better than this is only the Core in my opinion but I don't have the resources nor nerves to run it.

I can imagine though that there are many people using blockchain.info. I was shocked when I learned that there are 4.5M blockchain.info wallets in existence.

Since my start on around late 2011 on bitcoin life (not when I started on this forum) I used blockchain.info's web wallet and it sure gets many problems down the road compared to the others but I also see it as the most complete one out there and ever since then I never had second thought for choosing it as the pros are much more than it's cons
