Hello ranochigo

I have not used electrum at all. It sounds like it has a lot of good features. I did not know about the decentralized feature of this wallet and would really have to check it out. It does sound more secure. Also the backup feature does seem really interesting, i will have to check it out

Cheers

My vote would go Electrum. It has a cold storage spending feature and is relatively decentralised since you can select your own server to trust. The Hierarchical Deterministic seeds is a huge plus since users only need to make one and only backup to be able to recover the coins. Clients like Bitcoin Core requires backups every 100 transactions.

I use coinbase as my wallet online and a seperate local wallet.

Coinbase is really easy to use and user friendly.

I use blockchain as my online wallet.

I've seen people leaving comments here that it has issues.

I'm not aware of these, could someone explain please?

some of my friend lost their btc on blockchain , its around 0.1-0.5 , and probably because they'd click on scam or phising site and fill in the data there, to prevent against this just enable 2 factor authentication

Just to name two that would be enough for me.

They had problems which lead to compromised private keys. Luckily the person that found the flaw did return all coins (800 BTC)[1].

They had significant problems with the last malleability attack, showing completly wrong balances (double on incoming TX, negative on outgoing TX)

I personally prefer Electrum for my personal usage - simply because I can't keep the whole blockchain (data constraints) and it has served me well over the past few years. I've never used Mycelium - but if you were able to have the blockchain I'd recommend Core or Armory as they are incredibly stable.

I chose Armory. It's a very advanced wallet, with good developers and a track record of allowing to be deployed easily on safe environments and being quite stable. It works with core and extends it's functionality all while having a nice graphical interface that helps more novice users learn, become more expert and setup their Bitcoin wallets in the right way.

I would say Armory and then Bitcoin Core, but these two are very resource hungry! For most of the other average users, Electrum and Multibit are more than enough!

armory is the most secure, and the most complete, unless i'm missing something, but for now core is everything that i need, i can secure my coins in another easy way without complex or fancy thing

and i don't have problem synching at all or download the blockchain

Airbitz is the best.
Mycellium is great, too.
None of the desktop walets are as good, though Electrum is my favorite desktop wallet.

As for the poll, perhaps all of the major wallets should be added rather than the random assortment. "other" has the most votes.

I use an online wallet for much of my transacting but I still hold fast to my full node Bitcoin Core which is where I store my coin. I haven't tried any of the other wallets mentioned in the poll because there has never been a need to experiment with anything other than my core wallet; it has served me well.

Hello :-)

Why would you choose breadwallet over mycelium? does it have any extra features that make it much better?

Cheers

If you're looking for a good mobile wallet to use, I personally love using breadwallet. The main selling point for me is that it is able to connect directly to the blockchain and can see in real time how many peers are confirming your transactions and when exactly if it's confirmed. If you think that a transaction has been lost, you can always rescan the blockchain on their, which makes me feel a little bit more secure when transacting money around. Plus it allows finger print scanning to quickly access your wallet, which is always a plus too.

I've never personally used Mycelium, though I hear it gives you access to your private keys which you can write on a piece of paper and store away; just like with breadwallet... but I'm not quite sure if Mycelium connects directly with the blockchain, which is why I've always stuck with breadwallet. It's just my personal preference, I've heard a lot of users on this forum like Mycelium too; I think both are very good mobile wallets, I just tend to stick with bread because of the "if it isn't broke, you might as well not fix it" mentality I've got going on.

Mycelium uses a few centralised servers to get the information from. They can trick you into accepting a double spend. Last time I saw, they have 3 nodes. This isn't a huge security issue since wallets like blockchain.info, CoinBase, Greenaddress.it all uses central validation. I don't particularly trust biometric authentication. After all, people have exploited iPhone's fingerprint sensor and people can knock you out to steal your Bitcoins.

My vote would go Electrum. It has a cold storage spending feature and is relatively decentralised since you can select your own server to trust. The Hierarchical Deterministic seeds is a huge plus since users only need to make one and only backup to be able to recover the coins.

My favorite is Electrum. I like Electrum for a few reasons. The private keys are encrypted and you can also import private keys into Electrum from other bitcoin clients. You can use cold storage with it along with the fact you can recover your wallet with seed words.Electrum servers are also decentralized so there is no downtime with your wallet. The only thing missing is I wish it translated current prices of the bitcoins currently held in your ballet to whatever currency. I like real time information and knowing what my wallet is worth.

Hello :-)

Blockchain does have a lot of issues. It has had some downtime recently where the CDNs give an error message. It is having some really bad downtime.

I really hope that its security is top notch, as if it did lose a large amount of coins there would be a serious uproar from the community just after Mtgox ran away with many many coins.

But i still find blockchain very very easy to use, that has plenty of features eg paper wallet, signed messages.

Do you think there are any others that can compete with it in this regard and ease of use and most features?

Let me know

Cheers

Definitely Mycelium. Blockchain.info has too many bugs and security issues. I use Coinbase for my online wallet.
