There is a Operating system, called "Tails" which you download from the internet, and it's got a Bitcoin wallet built into the OS. You boot up with it, bypassing most of the viruses that target more commercial Operating systems and then you create your wallet. It took me a few hours to download the OS, burn the ISO to a DVD and then 5 minutes to configure the wallet.

Certainly not the best way to do it, but a bit safer that Windows based applications. ^smile^

PLEASE NEVER USE ANY SORT OF ONLINE WALLET, BLOCKCHAIN OR ANYTHING. [1] Electrum and MultiBit do not transfer your private keys anywhere and are comparatively much safer.

Most wallets that are safe do not offer a way to sell. Some online wallets like Xapo offers the feature of withdrawing through their debit cards. It won't be safe nor cheap.

- Hackers can very very easily compromise your security through man in the middle attack.

There were several issues affecting the RNG in the past.

I guess ill give Electrum and MultiBit a look. Can you give me a safe place to buy Bitcoins.
Also, FortueJack offers a way to buy Bitcoins through their website. would that be safe?

If I where you I'd use electrum or just a basic online wallet such as blockchain . info
You don't need to use the standard wallet as that will take days to catch up.

+1

You obviously need lightweight wallet. So software wallets with full validation like Bitcoin Core, Armory, mSigna are disqualified from the start.

Next, do you need wallet for PC or mobile device? For PC I recommend Multibit HD or Electrum, for Android/iOs breadwallet.

The only online wallet I would use for gambling is blockchain.info - whatever you do, don't use Xapo for gambling - it is against their ToS.
If your internet connection allows, you can use Bitcoin Core with pruning.

I need a wallet for pc laptop.
So would blockchain be the best for me? it seems the most suggested.
Or do i try  Multibit HD or Electrum.

Also do these wallets come with a way to sell? or do i have to find a website?

Web wallets are unsafe af...

Just use an paper wallet if you will hold it forever, it's the most secure way...

You can't say that bro, web wallets are not unsafe always, the blockchain one is pretty safe, I and a lot of my friends use it.

I'd also recommend blockchain as its universally available and more secure than other ones. As you're just trying to gamble and stuff, then your best option is using Blockchain.info wallet, so that you don't have to download the GBs of Blockchain data on your PC. There is no benefit in using the software one and don't think about hardware wallets if you are not using BTC heavily.

Blockchain is the wallet where I'm holding my bitcoins. That's a good site where I can cash out my coins very fast. As I know Blockchan is the most used wallet for many users of bitcoin. My recommendation to you is to not hold your bit coins on am exchanger, it is very risky.

I've been searching for wallets and I'm not sure which to use.

My situation:
I want to try gambling on Fortune Jack. If i win something I'm simply going to cash out and never use bitcoin again, the same if i lose. Or maybe ill gamble again every once in a little while. But that's practically the full extent of my use for bitcoin.

So based on my personal use of bitcoin, what would be the best wallet for me?
I'm new to bitcoin in general so if someone could explain the process of selling as well, i would appreciate it.
