Currently using Electrum for cold storage and for everyday spending. Also, I'm using a local exchange's wallet for paying my hydro and electric bills + internet and phone bills as well. Didn't have to go out of the house to pay my bills and these wallets I have been using for over 2 years now.
As I don't have long time holding I prefer web wallet. Most of the earnings were spend upon gambling, so blockchain.info wallet is preferred. This helps with fastest transaction and confirmation which is important while live betting is going on.

I use Connect-encrypted P2P wallet to keep my bitcoins and it's easy to transfer bitcoins to others.
The read & burn function also attracts me, you can search it on APP store and have a try.

I use a web wallet (blockchain) and a desktop wallet (multibit)
I'm a little uncomfortable with the fee in blockchain. I've been using a fee that is quite large 0.0005 BTC. but confirmation still very long. and it makes me very upset. whereas using another wallet fast enough

...

I use hardware wallets (Trezor and Ledger Nano), MultiBit (current v. 0.4.1), blockchain.info web wallet and CoPay.  I use them all but some more than others.

blockchain's is convenient, and I have not had any problem in a long time (I did some 2 -3 years ago, but they resolved it OK).  It's too bad that blockchain.info no longer offers their mixing service.  I have an earlier version of their wallet that allows imports of keys, important for me.

Re hardware, I guess I slightly prefer my Trezor vs. the Ledger, but both a re good.

I am still experimenting with CoPay and MultiBit.

I'm using the blockchains.info wallet, created him at the start and still using it today. I know that it's not the safest, but I don't store big amounts and whenever I get bitcoin I exchange it asap to fiat, to pay bills and whatnot, so yeah. Blockchain.info ftw

I also don't have any offline wallets yet but stored my bitcoins in couple of online wallets like blockchain and xapo. For longer term storage I still prefer blockchain wallets, and for routine transactions, I choose XAPO because they didn't have any fee for sending money from their wallet and also transactions are quite fast.

There is a thread about recomendations for the best wallet to use, but not all practice what they preach, so this poll is to see what people are actually using.
I understand that some people use multiple wallets of different kinds, so this poll asks which wallet is most used, this can be measured either by quantity of bitcoin or ammount of transactions.


I used Multibit hd wallet, electrum wallet. but I only have few bitcoins in my wallet, and most often I used bitcoin faucets then We merchant here in my place who accepted bitcoin, sometimes I bought bitcoin do their convenient outlet to buy bitcoin then they it will direct input into my wallet to their site.
Me i have 2 bitcoin wallet, xapo and coins.ph wallet but i always used coins.ph since this is our local online wallet and there a lot of services that we benefited, also we can used it in our business or like bayad center which is very usable for me.

I use coinbase wallet&is easy to use.Even I have no problem yet with these wallet. Smiley
Coinbase included in the online wallet that has long operated. but even so Coinbase is a wallet third parties who may be able to have control on your bitcoin. so I think you should be more careful again

Used to use Xapo but they decided to charge sending fees. Now I use Coinbase for microtransactions and for moving BTC in between exchanges. Although the bulk of the BTC is in a paper wallet generated through https://coinb.in/.

If I need to use the BTC in the paper wallet, I just use https://coinb.in/ again to broadcast transactions. It's like myetherwallet.

So still you are interested in fiat currency type of security for that you are using paper wallet but instead of this you can use electrum desktop wallet which is light weighted and easy to use, you just have to remember passphrase and where ever you want you can install the wallet and use it.

In Web wallet address you dont have control on them as if they want any time they can ban you account or anyone can hack or scam you, if you are using coinbase for gambling then it is not recommended as they are banning the account if found using gambling or other illegal activities without informing the account holders.

I do not like web wallets and I really dont have the time and space for bitcoin core, it is taking too long to download with my fairly slow internet and that kind of memory is too much for me. So, I use the mobile wallet, it does not take too much memory, it is safe and I can bring my Bitcoins anywhere.

I use a web wallet, and for me, it's a comfortable way to use money.
I think the most easy to use, flexible, cheap, good security. is using an online wallet. using an online wallet you can get it all dude
That's why I use the online wallet of a few years ago until today

i think as long as online wallet is really secure to prevent attacker, then its should be good option. but i am prefer to choose with several wallet as i don't want to take the risk with my bitcoin. i think we should not save a big amount in online wallet and better to save it in offline wallet and only we that know the safe place for the wallet or we can save it in our android phone as other option but we should be careful to do this, because our android phone can be a target for attacker.

I have more or less the same opinion. That is an online wallet for frequent use and a mobile one when I am away from my home but I have to use my bitcoins. But for long term solutions and bigger amount like as savings only an offline wallet is an adequate and secure solution for me. To my point of view in the bitcoin world we have to remember that there are no banks so for our savings we are the only responsible to keep our bitcoins safe.

Bitcoin- in bullish time
February 23, 2017, 02:20:24 PM
I'm currently using web bitcoin wallet since i don't have much bitcoin to manage and i'm comfortable in using web wallet because it is easy to use and it is very easy to create wallet and make it secure by putting a strong password and also enabling the 2 factor authentication. Web wallet are best for people who just send and receive minimum to average amount of bitcoin and also those who want to save some time because in web wallet it is already synced rather than desktop wallets that need to sync and sometimes takes several minutes to complete and that is very terrible for people who are in rush.

If you hold Bitcoin long term, then offline wallet is good, but if you are a trader then online wallet is good. I will use online wallet. Yes, it is more secure, and if anything happens we have a chance to get back our coins. Mobile wallet and all not safety, if anyone knows your password or you lost your mobile, it is very difficult to get back your Bitcoins.

I mainly use a light wallet on my phone/computer (the same keys on both) to hold the main chunk of my bitcoin (although not all that much). I do use Coinbase so I can Buy/Sell easily, however I don't use it to store much of anything.
