or

use official client bitcoin-QT, but it takes few days to sync.

Go for the full bitcoin-qt. As stated above, it does take a while to fully sync, but you have a full copy of the blockchain and full responsibility/security of your wallet (wallet.dat)

many options avaible,

can use some online wallet    blockchain, coinbase...

- snip -

Coinbase is not a wallet.

It is an unregulated, uninsured, unaudited bitcoin bank account.

Decide for yourself how safe that makes you feel.

Use offline wallet / paper wallet for safety.
Use Multibit, Electrum or bc.i if you want a easy-to-use wallet.

Just go with blockchain  Smiley

The most safe wallet you can ever get, would be a paper wallet. Unless your the person who loses things on a daily basis, I dont recommend it.

or store wallet file on your HDD using eg:  Multibit ... it's quite fast, becase it won't dl blockchain.

or

Is it blockchain.info?

Okay so I am a newb to Bitcoins, been mining for some time though.. In my pool I finally have 1BC.. Not here is where I have questions:

I want to transfer it but I dont have a wallet, which do you recommend?

Im currently using TOMPOOL should I try something else?

Any other tips for me?

Thanks guys

electrum for a wallet

better to use smaller pools than major,s in order to keep the network healthy - we need distributed computing power, not centralised.
