What do I NEVER use? Blockchain.info.

Why? It was the first wallet I ever used and all of my coins were stolen within 24h after purchasing $20 worth of Bitcoins at the time. Don't ever use a wallet that stores your private keys online for you. You WILL lose your coins. It's just a matter of 'when'.


Sorry for your bad experience with blockchain but how could your btc be stolen from your account ! No one knows the identifier except you.
Maybe you had some defected programs or Trojan viruses that stole your data

I use Mycelium to watch my paper wallet and keep a little bit in the HD wallet. I have even less in a coinomi paper wallet mainly because it supports lots of altcoins.

The wallet that was 'hacked' (without malware on my system. Extremely fishy.) is:

I wish I could use bitcoin core, but it's awful when you travel. It's taking a while to syncronize and sometimes, it's not working at all because of a proxy or a router which blocks it. blockchain.info remains the best option if you travel a lot. I also use multibit classic and I never keep anything at a exchange.

I personally just use coinbase, with my coinbase android app. I use 2FA for all transactions made through my phone, as it is not protected. I have also disconnected all mailing services on my phone, to stop bypassing 2FA, and simply because I don't use the mail. I use coinbase for the free tx fees, and because I never store more than 1 bitcoin at a time.

I use Multibit Classic and I am satisfied with what offers as well as ease of use.I do not hear much of a positive opinion on MultiBit HD so at the moment I do not plan to switch to a new wallet but I will certainly explore some new options Smiley
You are right, don't use MultiBit HD it's worse. Better to keep using MultiBit Classis, you will regret if you change it.

Better always go with blockchain This is whats known as a hybrid wallet meaning the company stores your wallet online but they do not have access to your private keys. However since the wallet is loaded from their servers some trust in the company is still needed.I will Recommend for beginners who are trying out Bitcoin

Yes, blockchain really seems to be the best and most secured wallet, but, they have a close rival which is Xapo wallet. Xapo wallet is also one of the oldest and most secured. Xapo also has a vault where you store your bitcoins, and their vault is the most secured. They also offer a debit card to their users, which will enable them to withdraw their bitcoin anywhere, anytime in the form of cash. Now a days I prefer Xapo.

Blockchain is really a wallet to go with. There are lots of online wallets, but, blockchain seems to be the most preferred wallet used by bitcoiners. They allow us to access our private keys. This may be the reason for many bitcoiners are preferring blockchain. Xapo never allow you to access your private keys.




Even if blockchain seems to be the best and more secured by allowing direct access to our private keys, still many people normally go for coinbase. I do not know any specific advantages we can enjoy using coinbase. Recently they launched debit cards. But coinbase is more popular since it's introduced.

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?

bitcointalk  this is very good!
