Well i only use local wallets, bitcoin core and electrum, and i'm quite satisfied. The only thing that made me try out anything other than bitcoin core was
the very slow sync with blockchain, so i added electrum for my smaller spendings.
Don't see why some people choose web based wallets, where you entirely rely on third party service ?!

i hope it's bitcoin core, so you can also have a good estimate about the % of node that are running here and that will be ready for the future

I think online web wallets are the most popular because people are too lazy to figure out how to use and backup their own wallets.

I think desktop wallets are most used bitcoin wallets, voted it
I love to use electrum wallet for PC

Really desktop wallets? I find myself using Mobile Wallets the most.

Examples:

1) Splitting cigarettes with a coworker, I'll just send some BTC over
2) Buying food at restaurants like at City Tacos (http://citytacossd.com/)
3) Meeting up with people and trading bitcoins (for a profit or just to help someone start out)
4) Buying stuff on Overstock or Cryptothrift. I just scan the QR code while at the website.

I think mobile software wallets would be the most used.

Airbitz, Breadwallet, and Mycelium I believe are the most used wallets. Don't get me wrong there are other great ones out there like Trezor or Armory, but the question was *Most Used* so when it comes to trading at a local meetup or buying food at a local restaurant that accepts bitcoin, the most used will have to be some kind of mobile wallet on someone's phone.

I make the most use of Mycelium. Those options are a tad fuzzy.

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)
