I really like Bitcoin Core, but if you want the most convenient wallet, then I would definitely recommend blockchain.info or coinbase.

Both of them are unsafe option and you are not in control of your bitcoins. The companies just give you the permission to use the BTC, that you stored. With the first being prone to phishing attempts

Yes I was always using Multibit because of that, also the blockchain downloads really quick on that one!
But I've also downloaded Electrum, Because people here said it was the best wallet I also downloaded it.
I must say that wallet is also nice, and it has 2 factor authentication which is also good for protection of your Bitcoins!

Ok..... What about Bitcoinwallet.com cos as a newbie have signup for bitvest campaign and I have register for bitcoinwallet. Do you think is ok keep my btc there in the meantime?

You should not use web wallets for any significant amount, if thats what you're asking. Downloading and running your own wallet is really easy you know

Ok but how can I make that happen.... Pls tell me

Download and install Bitcoin core if you want to run a node and contribute to the network. But if you don't want to go through the hassle of syncing the recent blocks, download electrum

So, electrum is just as running my own wallet?

Yes that's right. But without web nothing is possible. So completely getting into offline mode is not good. To stand away from hackers it's better to have their apps downloaded and used only when required and other time keep it offline.

What? No! Thats not what I said or meant

It is, how is this on point anyway. I'm talking about online services that require you to not be in control of your private key, not internet in general

It very is. Saving your Bitcoins on a cold-storage, that has no connection to internet or any network in general will make it near impossible for anyone to stea your bitcoins remotely. Add that with encryption and voila, you're safe

I dont think that all web wallet are not like this in coinbase and xapo their is 2fa security with this you can control your bitcoins and this two exchanges are very old and reputed exchanges with good support

I'm not talking about their reputation , support etc. Fact is , they have your private keys hence they are the ones in control of the bitcoins not you. They just grant you the permission to communicate to their server and use the BTC you have saved. Which can change at any time

You have heard of Mt gox , cryptsy and lots of other 'reputed' exchanges right?

If you're going to use the wallet for amounts over 0.1 BTC, do not use a web wallet. You do not control your bitcoins in a web wallet,, the company that holds your private key does.

I would personally recommend electrum, google it for its features

And if you want to use a wallet for amounts over 10 BTC, I'd recommend you use a hardware wallet like trezor

For desktop Electrum is good even i am using this desktop wallet and its very fast and secure.

I have never tried hardware wallet , hhahahha as i never got above 1 btc because i use bitcoins in my daily life just like fiat currency.

As far as ai know only offline wallet and bitcoin core is the best wallet that i heard from some opinion here.. but honestly some online web wallet also good if just want to earn bitcoin but if you want to hold for long term its better to use offline wallet and bitcore. or blockchain.. for security purposes you can set 2fa in block chain.. so that your account is too far from hackers..

Most convenient wallet is depends on you. For me most convenient wallet is my mobile wallet (mycelium, for very frequent transactions), multibit HD & electrum (desktop wallets, as cold storage) and coinbase (web wallet for emergency purpose, when I don't have my mobile or my PC).

Aight. Thx

I have seen most users suggesting blockchain wallet. It is really good with easy methods of accessing. Blockchain has got a very transparent transaction process than other wallets.

You can never trust any wallet provider though, so always either have a copy of the full wallet or have electrum if you don't use mining payments. Otherwise yes, blockchain is a great website and i've only had a few problems with it. I'd give them an 8/10 for good performance, but they are still far from perfect.

Could pls tell the most secure and also convinent to use btc wallet. thanks

Don't use web wallet if you want only secure, but if you want to easy to use it every where use it(that the web wallet).

If i want to secure... what should i use if dont want to use the wallet?

Check the paper or coldstorage to keep it safe. If you keep it their your bitcoin will be safe and if you open it after 50 years also that make the price also high.

The great thing is if you have a smart phone there are apps to look up BTC address and holdings. I use a app on my phone to monitor some of my BTC address's and have 0 access to them from phone. So is great can monitor without worrying about security as I don't keep private key or anything like that on phone.

I have a hot wallet with a little but don't keep much in hot wallets as I really support paper and hardware wallets.

I use a hot wallet on blockchain.info because I can easily access the funds on my phone and when I need to, I can withdraw and use them on the occasional HYiP. My cold wallet is a paper wallet though, and I hold about 40$ of btc on there. I once had 100$ on my hot wallet but of course blockchain could "shut down" on us at anytime. So you need to be prepared for anything. That's why I have hot and cold, for when the storm strikes. Cheesy

I also have 4 other cold wallets with 10$ each incase my cold gets ripped up by my brother (happened once but had private key) or just if it gets stolen in general.

And hot wallets have a place, I realize blockchain.info is most popular on hot web wallets. There is a need for them and a good use. Just keep it to a small amount and make sure to use 2nd facor.

I really like Yubikey with blockchain.info - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/hands-onyubikey-help-secure-your-digital-assets-including-blockchaininfo-1353231 This is a secure and easy way to add second factor that is very strong and still have a hot wallet easy to access.
