I am using different kinds of wallet like blockchain.info , coinbase, coins.ph, and xapo...
I don't store all my btc in one wallet, for security purposes... I like xapo the most because it is easy to access ...
And for cashing out i use coinsph i can withdraw direct through my bank account..

True thats what I like most in coins.ph and the eload services. I like it the most than blockchain though I'm using blockchain for we can really feel the security using it. The transactions were fast and easy in these 2 wallets.

I use coins.ph as my wallet because here in my country it's the only wallet that has the easy way to cash-out bitcoin to real money.

I use coinbase for now but with all the IRS thing going on I will be changing to something else soon. Embarrassed

Yes coinbase is regulated web wallet so there will be zero privacy using them. Better to shift towards lightweight client like electrum or blockchain web wallet which doesn't store any personal details and also never ask any personal documents.

i do not trust coinbase as they have given personal information and identity to MPAA and other organisation and revealed personal details and IP address.So i would not trust this site as anything can happen and i dont want anyone having a tail on me for something i do it for fun and i do not have the time to spend time in court and do not want to be in the other side of the law.I do have my mobile wallets and i am happy with it.

I use blockchain in every bitcoin transaction. I feel comfortable and easy.
all transactions inevitably leads to blockchain wallet.

I'm using blockchain it is safe and secured for bitcoin trading and some transaction I prefer this. But in personal transactions and services I do use coins.oh it allows me to pay and to have loads it is also safe.

That's a wallet in your local exchange, I guess it's better to have many wallets as you can just to ensure security, I trust blockchain wallet also because it's more secure than a wallet of private exchanges. Whatever wallet that can give us good security and convenience will be good as long as we are careful with our information not being hack so we can continue with our venture here.

I am using the blockchain and electrum.
I always prefer to used the blockchain wallet as I can send all the payments even on the go or everywhere and with the used of my any devices.
You'll never regret using this wallet because it is safe.

never safe to use a third party wallet service like blockchain
but it's okay if you use it for daily spend and for low amount only
if you want to store a lot of bitcoin for long term you may have to use paper wallet
you are the only one who will know the private key and noone else , the most safe walet.

instead of the blockchain and electrum already have features paper wallet? if me, i prefer wallet in local currency exchanger , since on my government still don't admit bitcoin as payment

I use lightweight wallet like electrum and multibit, and exchanges wallet for online wallet. I cant use the core wallet because it needs a lot of space and very long time to download. It should not be a problem if I have a fast connection and unlimited bandwithd but my internet connection have cap and speed is very slow. It may take me more than a month to download the whole blockchain. So having lightwallet is a better choice for me

I myself use 3 different wallets. One is on my Android device, one on my desktop PC and one online.

The one i like the most is on my desktop, MultiBit. I like it because you can quicky generate new deposit adresses and keep track of your incomes and outcomes. I only use Blockchain for some payments, and on my mobile phone i have MyCelium wallet, which i use for mobile/QR code scanning payments.

What wallets do you use and which one do you prefer and why?

I used coinsph because it is only used by some Filipino, this wallet convert bitcoin to peso. It is also for cashout.

no one uses core anymore? lol

I use core 13.0 (64bit) and I have about 12 backups of wallet.dat around the UK (and one in spain) lol

I use this as I dont trust ANYONE with my coins.

think about it, your money on someone else's machine, with your password, is still not yours ^^

Good tactic.
Im using currently bitcoin core. In past multibit but now bitcoin core is fast enough for me

I prefer using cold wallets and Blockchain. Do you know why? Well, I like Blockchain as my daily spending wallet. I have a small part of my funds there that I can spend at any time if I ever need to. The cold wallets are the safest because nobody can ever exit-scam you. Blockchain is I think the first online wallet website that has been created, and I always trusted it. Trusting a new wallet isn't a great option for me because it's very easy to just disappear one day and run away with all the funds.

I use mycelium, it's fast, very easy to use. I'm also planning to buy a hardware wallet called trezor, I've read a lot of good feedbacks about the wallet so i might buy in the future.

I have heard enough about mycelium please tell me is it easy to use ? I mean like sending and receiving bitcoins is easy or requires email confirmation each time ? Does it provides new address each time ? Do they ask for ID proofs ? ( a nightmare for me ) and on top of all do they give the private keys access to its users ?

I am using only blockchain info because it is very easy to use and provides a comfortable level of security. With proper security settings, it has no less securiy than an internetbank service, I think (from client side).

Im just using 2 wallets.First is blockchain and xapo.I use xapo because i feel really secure about xapo'z features.You dont need a 2FA because its all automatic that your account is protected with pin code even without using their app

And the other reason can be usually when we play a games or etc that bitcoin related always should use xapo wallet, they require us to have xapo wallet for they sent the payment in bitcoin.
And the primary wallet of course i am using blockchain since first time i entered in bitcoin world.

Me too when I first searched google about bitcoins I got to blockchain and trust me I have used over 10 wallet sites so far but none has the ease that blockchain provides and the simplicity is just magnificent and I also have my private keys printed which most wallet providers avoid giving you. But now a days you can use a new wallet, that's called rushwallet which is quite simple and secure.
