In hardware wallets- I have installed electrum and bitcoin core both but never used them yet, because never had much to store in them, always in circulation.

In web wallets- I have used blockchain.info before, but it has fees on every transaction, so now a days i use Xapo for daily transactions because Xapo has no fees on transactions.

The more recent releases of Bitcoin Core have really improved on a lot of things, including initial sync time. When I need to recommend a lightweight option I will usually go with Electrum, although I've hardly used it myself. Blockchain.info can be a pretty advanced web wallet - allowing import / export of addresses and other features. Coinbase, while a "good" company, I cannot recommend personally unless you want your economic activity inextricably linked to your personal data.

Until few months I was using blockchain.info but recently I shifted to electrum obviously it's more secure and better I think. I still used blockchain.info sometimes because I can't import my private key in electrum :l

You can download the paper wallet from blockchain.info dashboard and import those private keys to electrum. If that appears difficult to you, you may simply send the blockchain.info coins to your electrum address.

I don't use bitcoin client to store my bitcoin, I use blockchain to store mine. Since I don't have much bitcoin in my wallet. Grin

I withdraw it into real money when I already have enough bitcoin.

I am using www.bitmymoney.com
No longer using local wallets, i got core but its empty so i cleared the blockchain files as well

Never heard of this site and somehow the Home page is not convincing enough for me to use them Tongue

I'm just gonna stick to the well known websites, Better be safe than sorry right Wink

For me bitcoin core and electrum bitcoin client that i use right now because its easy to use.. but the problem of bitcore if you are first time to use it you should sync it first to completely use it as wallet.. unlike electrum just install and ready to use..

That's why I think that Electrum should be used more than core, in Electrum all we need to do is connect to one of the nodes and we are in with the latest blockchain Grin

Although, Core has his own advantages too Roll Eyes

You guys know you can now run a validating Core 0.12 wallet in pruned mode, cutting blockchain/UTXO storage to ~2GB? And libsecp256k1 has drastically reduced initial sync time (which was a big turnoff to new downloaders)...4-10 hours is now the norm for initial sync. And for the bandwidth-capped, easy to throttle upload limiting and blocksonly mode. Truly amazing work being done by Core.

Hope to see more progress on the Android pruned wallet implementation.

Well, I'm not bandwidth capped, I have my Internet limit which is 15gb/week Roll Eyes

So yea, Using Core can be a hard time for me Tongue

Never heard of this service. How reliable is this?

I used blockchain because I made what I now believe to be a faulty assumption about it being more secure than an encrypted QT or Armory wallet because it wasn't stored on my computer.

Don't Hesitate to Tip me for My Helps and Guides.

I'm using two PC wallets and one web wallet, Electrum and Multibit are my PC wallets, They are easy to use, Fast and convenient to send transactions through, My web wallet is blockchain.info and I see it as one of the relatively trustworthy web wallets although I don't suggest putting allot of money even in blockchain.info.

Im using Core because you know.. its the Core.

Satoshi named it QT, not Core. Mike Hearn, the founder of XT, named it Core.

And at the moment im testing several mobile wallets. Didnt decide yet.

I have been using the Copay wallet for a couple of months and I am very fond of it. It's the only wallet available for Windows Mobile and it has a version for every platform out there. It has a clean user interface and does a great job of paying for stuff on the go.

Are you sure about this?
If you can search it on Google, there are still many other wallet besides Copay.
Like what I just found here :

I use the BitcoinCore at the moment. If there is no block size increase by June this year, I will use Classic.

Why would you use inferior software by an inferior developer team? Classic is a scam, all of their nodes are fake and run by VPS just to make it look as if they are anywhere near Core. Please research what you are doing, the whole blocksize debate is a fraud.

Bobby Fischer was right

I use multibit, mostly because it was my first wallet
and got used to it by now. In my opinion it feels completed, good integrity etc.
For mobile i use airbits, its fast and looks nice and recently i read that
it is one of the most safe android wallets out there.
