Topic: Which Bitcoin Client do you use and why ? - page 3. (Read 49615 times)
I use the 'official' Bitcoin wallet for android phones from Google PlayStore. Mainly because I want to have my Bitcoins anywhere I go, and that is limited with a PC wallet. Also, it is pretry small so you can download it fast and easy. It has the functions like every other wallet has and it is all in my pocket.
I am also using Blockchain for the most of my bitcoin operations, but the biggest part of coins I am holding on my USB wallet, this way I feel more safe. If to talk about online wallets I know that money that I hold there is kinda not mine, it's wallet's money, and when one day the site will be closed I may loose everything. So, I prefer the wallet in which I am more sure.
Lately, blockchain.info does not allow u to download private keys.
https://youtu.be/F12lpqnug-0 I put two wallet for the moment, namely blockchain and poloniex. Well, I always use blokchain, because I have been accustomed to, and believe fully with blokchain, and I use poloniex to make the development of the number of bitcoin I have
Do u have your private key for the addresses u r having with blockchain.info?

I am using Multibit, I tried to use the official blockchain but it was quite heavy, I use multibit because its lite weight, though I have not tried any other and this one was also suggested by a guy who introduced me to bitcoin.
Its working alright I guess.

If you have an andorid phone, I'd recommend you to use MyCelium because that is what I am using now and for a few years already. It is as light as multibit and you can send/receive your Bitcoin anywhere and anytime as long as you have a good internet connection.
i also use online walelt like xapo and coinbase that let me choose zero fee, they are very good now with the high fee, local wallet only for cold storage for me, and anddroid wallet only for very small amount when i'm out of home and i need to purchase something

I don't know if you can call bitcoin-qt the official client or wallet or not...
You, literally, can't. To do so with any client would centralize Bitcoin around that client and defeat the whole point of Bitcoin being decentralized. Bitcoin Core, while far and away the most popular, is the "official client" in the exact same way that Ford is "the official car".Though, I'm against the idea of an official client, this is not a true analogy either. Bitcoin-QT is the major wallet which acts as node and all these Bitcoin Core, Unlimited, Classic, XT are derivative of this. Hence, Bitcoin-QT can be regarded as official client.

many people will recommended mycelium for wallet bitcoin, and we have many option for us to used the wallet. don't forget about jaxx that can be another option for us to save our bitcoin. jaxx is offering the software for android and for desktop too and i think jaxx is good. personally i use mycelium too for my android phone and multibit for my pc.

For a few mBTC I use blockchain.info wallet. It was my first client and I stuck with this. Nowadays has only one good feature very useful for me. Pairing with my smartphone. Mainly I use a desktop client and I go with electrum. I thinks are obvious the advantages of an open source light SPV client.
I guess we all love blockchain, I never had a problem using it so why would I change though. I'm using it for many years now and so far the experience is still the same, it's great to use it.I am sorry you are mistaken. I do not love bc.i because I believe that is the best client but because I can pair my android phone with my web bci. It's a convenient, easy to use web wallet it was my first one and I use some addresses so I do not want to change. Besides that, except that is a web client lacks some features very useful in my opinion. You can't sign a message, you can't export your private keys and unfortunately some months ago was hijacked and more than 8 millions wallets were inaccessible http://thehackernews.com/2016/10/blockchain-bitcoin-website.html.

From the information I have, the official client is safer, but in fact it's quite heavy, and most users will probably need to wait a long time for synchronization to take place. Blockchain.info has worked without major problems for me. I'm not yet aware of Multibit, but I think it's worth researching.Its working alright I guess.
I don't know if you can call bitcoin-qt the official client or wallet or not but yeah, it is really heavy as it downloads all the blockchain in order to sync your wallet which probably takes a lot of time and data too, so maybe someone should try electrum if they are looking for a good desktop wallet.
...the official client is ....
There is no "official client". I am using Multibit, I tried to use the official blockchain but it was quite heavy, I use multibit because its lite weight, though I have not tried any other and this one was also suggested by a guy who introduced me to bitcoin.

blockchain.info (referred to in what you quoted) is, in fact, "one company" and not "the blockchain" (as in the tech) that you're thinking of.
