If you want a fast and simple bitcoin wallet then I recommend you the multibit.

you should try Electrum , then you will never go back to multibit again

they have somewhat the same functionality, but after trying out both of them i prefer Electrum much more.

I would mention the bitcoin-core at the moment.

But who knows that`ll be a sudden change, once the bitcoin actually split and test how the xt reacts. And if theres a difference in transaction times.

well it depends on what type of machine you are gonna work or use it in..like if you are using a pc then you have to select between a heavy or a light weight wallet..thay means bitcoin-qt or light wallets like armory,electry,hive etc etc..
I will suggest to use electrum wallet as it is convineant and smooth use with those transactions

Armory is not light weight wallet. Its heavy weight, ultra heavy weight.

The blockchain is like 73 GB, Armory builds another 40.6 GB of databases so it becomes 113.6 GB or burden.

Although I use Armory too (with Electrum), but its is becoming a real burden.

I can not see any bugs but suggestions. Read ThomasV's post. He has addressed all your questions/statements. Electrum is pretty safe as a wallet.

I`ll just wait a few more releases before I start using it, for now Armory is good, I can wait 2-3 more years.

the safest wallet is definitely either paper wallet or hardware wallet as no one gets your private key and only you own it

what you are telling is correct but for that the user should be knowledgeable to use that safely because once if the paper wallet or hardware wallet get corrupt , lost, crashed or anything accidentally happens then he/she wont be able to get back the details and what ever he/she earned will be lost it

Why does everyone keep asking about this question, can we just discuss it in a same topic. So please search any other topic that has the same question, before you asking it.
BTW I use Multibit, easy to use and lightweight. Grin

electrum is great too, and one thing it has over multibit is the ability to adjust the tx fee and also choose which addresses outputs are spent from.

Electrum has some issues, and perhaps some bugs too I already signalled in this thread:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bug-my-suggestions-to-improve-electrum-and-possible-bugs-detected-1152808

So i`m not FUD-ing but I think Electrum needs more development before we can use it safely.

For me coinbase. I am customer of this bitcoin wallet since more two years. It is the most convenient because you don't pay fee in every transaction you do because all the fees are handled by coinbase. Is the safest because even if a web based wallet you have the key of your bitcoins so no one can stole those.

If you want convenient and safe, my recommendations would be Coinbase, Circle, or Xapo.

But here's a link that will help you find the right wallet based on your specific needs: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

I am using Coinbase and Xapo online wallet is it good to keep my bitcoins collected through other faucets in this wallet for long time
if not please tell me the other option .

I saw some views about desktop wallet but my computer operating software get crashed mostly every month , then what should i do to save my bitcoins for a long time

Blockchain.info is in my opinion the fastest and the most convenient and can be pretty safe in most conditions, using a secondary and 2FA with the account can make it secure IMO and if there server isn't down I think it can work fine with most people.

better use blockchain.info
I also use this time, but I do not know how much capacity Grin

Really? They have a lot problem with their security, for few months ago, a lot customers have a problem with it.
And recently: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bug-satoshi-nakamoto-moving-his-coins-at-this-moment-1143759 they block explorer has been broken/BUG.

Well its easy to transfer bitcoin from there, and its more secure than electrum (online, not cold storage) wallet. But there is 3rd party risk of course.

So you have to weight in the risks and decide for yourself

I can use several good wallets.

But for real bullet proof security you can use the Armory paper wallet.

You can choose between Armory and electrum.

For androids and mobile phones I consider Micellium to be the best.
