Topic: Which Bitcoin Client do you use and why ? - page 14. (Read 49615 times)
I feel better blockchain because until now I still use it
i am using blockchain.info but i want to switch to something else
If you don't want to run a full node I would recommend armory or electrum. Allowing you to be in control of your own keys and also restore from word seed back up.
You control your keys in blockchain.info as well.
Yes but they're not generated client side and offline.
Using an online service like this exposes your keys to both the blockchain.info servers and also to any man in the middle attacks.
Sure it's unlikely but if your dealing with more than a handful of btc it pays to be more careful.
Here's one example of compromised blockchain.info wallets

Some more searching will turn up plenty more. Online wallets just aren't that safe.

Use electrum.
Because we can adjust the transaction fee and it's very light software.
I know we can also adjust transaction fee in other clients also.

well i use multibit since i do not need to download the whole bitcoin data unlike the main bitcoin core client which takes me very very long hours to complete
Blockchain.info, First of all its easy to access no need to worry about syncing as its a online wallet, plus the verification system helps, But if it gets hacked we all know the consequences, Which is unlikely I think 
They are all safe, but best solution is to not keep all your eggs in one basket. webwallets small amounts easily accessable to you, electrum get you going now but mostly desktop uses, full client to help the network/store some coin, and paper/offline wallets for true savings/safety
it is not 100% right to say that they are all safe, it is better to say that all wallets are safe to some extent. and you can increase each wallet's security by taking some actions like enabling 2fa for online wallets or using others offline.
Im just using one on android. I feel like if they get my pc then my wallet will still be fine. My phone never leaves my person...
Electrum Wallet Simple and Safe

electrum has been useful lately, it's fast and that's enough for me. multibit is also good
bitcoinqt , blockchain.info and cex.io.bitcoinqt is good but if it collapses , it takes at least two days for me to repair.blockchain.info is very expensive e.g if u get the btc in ten parts you have to pay 0.001 btc to send money.
I use blockchain. Blockchain is easy way to create an account and I enjoyed to use it as long as my transcaction
growing up slowly.

I also use Armory, it is incredibly safe. Nobody can get my bitcoins even if they hack my computer, as the actual wallet is stored on a USB and used on a different, offline computer. Sure it takes more time for me to send my bitcoins somewhere
If using an electronic storage medium such as a usb, I do hope you have more than one copy as devices like that are prone to breakages.
bitcoin core for my cold storage and and as pc wallet. and the blockchain.info service to have a certain amount of coins always with me on my smartphone.
i am using blockchain.info i believe its the best for me as you can access it really easily and it does not require nearly any time to make transactions, before that i used multibit but i dont like keeping wallets on my pc
Dont see lot of people using multibit wallet...Is there any reason why you dont use it? Is there security risks with this wallet? I was enjoying it for a long time with very little comments about it.
