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?

Right now I used different wallets and those wallets came from different exchanges platform, and I don't know if my methods is a good idea, and in 5 signature campaign which I joined the bitcoin wallets which I used are came from the exchanges, then every week they pay me bitcoin in different platform then all of it I transferred it to  my coins.ph bitcoin wallet address its a kind of merchant here in my country who accepted bitcoin.

I am using blockchain.info in the long run because I am very satisfied with their service. At first, I used xapo but it is making me very hassle because I am not liking their service anymore. I am not liking their 2FA and 60 seconds of waiting to skip some of their confirmations. Even though blockchain does have another 2FA using emails but that is not hassle for me.

for now I use a wallet from blockchain, because I think blockchain simple and safe to store my bitcoin. Blockchain on Bitcoin is a decentralized system. This means that Bitcoin is not influenced by any government policies which may have a bad impact on the system.

Be very very careful while using Blockchain.info wallets. If you forget your password, and if you don't have the 12 word pass-phrase with you, then it is almost impossible to recover the coins. A few days back, it took me almost 6 hours to recover my coins. I was typing my password incorrectly, and there was no option for password recovery.

If it is online wallet I use coinbase but I dont store much there. You dont know which is another bitfinex so better leave it at small numbers so they wont be tempted to rob you. Whenever a big amount of bitcoin is there they will be at that verge of hacking themselves.

I use Blockchain.info, Electrum and Coinbase sometimes. I use blockchain.info because I need an online wallet that is basic and does the job, but sometimes Electrum and Coinbase are good alternatives.

I personally use block chain cause of its safety and convenient to use...loving it.

I am also storing some of my coins in Blockchain.info wallets. Compared to the other online wallets such as Xapo, I think Blockchain is a little bit safer. Also, it is very user friendly and convenient to use. Earlier I used to store my coins in the BTC-e account, but now I don't have any coins there. After all, storing coins in exchanges is not a good idea.

I agree about the importance of two step verification on that.
Yes because it makes our wallet more secure and safe. recently, im using xapo because our local wallet banned the gambling site and if they found out that you are receiving money from that site they will deactivate your account. so when playing, i use xapo.

I am still using blockchain dot info wallet. Unreliable before, and I have no issues with it now because I feel it’s secured and user friendly.

Just used a wallet that you are comfortable with

I usually use core but it is becoming an increasing pain in the ass to keep it synchronised.  Sad Sad

I use blockchain.info because It has 2 step verification. So it's safer not worrying about being hacked.

All Legit wallet is safe it depends on you on how you secure your account just saying Smiley

I'm using the blockchains. Why? Because I don't really have any high amounts of btc in my wallet and I'm just using it as abridge from btc(signature campaign website) to fiat(selling that btc) and nothing else. I'm not planing to store hunderds and hundreds of dollars in btc on blockchains wallet, I was to have that sum of money, I'd store it on  an offline wallet.

im using the online wallet, they get a lot of simplicity to bitcoin. i prefer Xapo because they dont charge any fee for the service.
i dont really know why they dont charge it, i still thinking about they do that in order to attract the newcomer to use their service.
overall xapo got 2FA security and any other. not really bad decision compare with blockchain

I use only web wallets because I am on the go most of the time and when I was using bitcoin core it would take so long for it to download the dat file. I just gave up on it. Roll Eyes

I like these web wallets because now they can do anything that the other wallets can do. Grin

I've just got myself a Ledger Nano S and it's pretty amazing. It's safer than keeping my private keys on a hard/USB drive as all transactions need to be approved by the device. Initialisation (mnemonic seed and PIN setup) takes place on the device itself. Jaxx integration would be great but the default Ledger Chrome apps are pretty good too. Another welcome improvement would be to allow more complex PINs as it currently allows a four digit one only (but the device resets itself after three incorrect attempts). Ah, it works with ethereum as well as bitcoin - I'm really impresed.
