Another storage solution to consider if you're leaning to cold or offline wallets instead of desktop ones:

Flood and fireproof is always a good combo.  Plus it's sooo shiny!   Cool

I can also recommend Armory. It's the safest of all the wallets. Electrum and MultiBit are easy to use and also safe if you are using Linux and have no malware on your desktop Wink

For security, Armory is the best as it uses a GPU-resistant key-stretching algorithm and makes brute-forcing much more costly.

I guess OP should have started a poll if all he's doing is measuring popularityl.   All these "__, for security" answers are hillariously vague.

Anyone that requires you having the blockchain. You generate your private keys offline, put it in paper and format the drive you used to do your thing.

Armory worked pretty well for a while but I now only use paper wallets for cold storage

I'm currently using MultiBit for months now. The security of your bitcoins most of the time depends on you.

If you have Trezor it is better, but if you don't have trezor use Armory it is the best in terms of security.

Which one would you recommend for secure storage?

armory would be the best option for online and ofline storage security.

For security storage armory. If you get infected, the hacker could compromis your Electrum or Multibit funds but not your Armory funds.

How is this true?  So many vague posts in this thread with no detail...

First of all I don't thing that this topic is in the right place.Secondly you must know what you want.If you want a good cold storage and you are willing to keep it offline than for sure pick Armory.If you want a lightweight client than choose Electrum. I don't recommend multibit because you don't really get control over your private keys.

I would not reccomend armory by the fact that you have to download the whole blockchain
but if you want security it can be a good option

If you want to download the blockchain why not just use bitcoind?  It's simple and easy.

But none of this seems to apply to the OPs question about cold storage.  I still can't see why a simple printout of a privkey file isn't the easiest solution.

Those 3 are fine choices for software/desktop wallets.

If you want air tight security that's forever cold/offline, I'd probably go with one of the following:

1)Trezor
https://www.bitcointrezor.com/


2)Ledger
https://www.ledgerwallet.com/


3)Paper
https://bitcoinpaperwallet.com/


Heck yea, these are good ones. Woodwallets is pretty cool to, just got one and it's really nice. No cool features but smells fresh lol

But wait, if you just want to put something offline, why do you need websites?  I've just used my bitcoind to generate an address/priv key pair and then saved it---printed it out.  I've never had to use a website to do this.
