Topic: Which wallet is the best (Read 2604 times)
I'm using MultiBit but thinking of using something a bit more.. Better
I am using electrum and I think it is really solid. In the next week or 2 I will be buying a cheap laptop that will be used for offline only. I will configure it so that when I would like to process a transaction I will do it on the offline pc then transfer just the transaction to my online PC to actually process. I think this is a very good way to secure your coin.
Paper Wallets with a Bip-38 password are most secure because they will never touched the Internet until used, if created correctly. And if someone breaks into your safe or safety deposit box, the encrypted public address won't work.
The paper can be put in a safe, along with an electronic version that is PGP encrypted on a USB stick.

And where will you store your BIP-38 passphrase and your PGP key? I don't understand all these extra passwords that you will have to store somewhere the same way you would store your BTC private key. Might as well just store the private key directly.
Passphrase is stored in my head.
Never write down a password.

in my opinion : btc-e and blockchain
Both of them are online and one is exchange wich you should never hold your coins on and blockchain.info may be vulneable.which wallet is the best?
thanks bro
Armory's GUI is not terribly user friendly IMO.
I choose Electrum (PC - cold storage) and Mycelium (Android - hot wallet). Both rock solid and it's easy to back up your wallets (or in the case of Electrum, the wallet seed).
Put Electrum on a cheap, always offline device (Raspberry Pi, cheap Android tablet, cheap Windows tablet/netbook) and you have a perfect cold storage setup capable of signing offline transactions as and when necessary. You can have a watch only version of your Electrum wallet on your regular computer (for occasionally checking the wallet and for generating transactions to sign).
Get creative in the way you hide the Electrum wallet seed - for example, put it in a series of pictures or in the middle of a large, otherwise unrelated Word document and email it to yourself - then you will have the ability, in an emergency, to rebuild your wallet anywhere in the world. No worrying about paper backups getting lost/stolen/destroyed.
The only thing lacking from the above is multisig. I'm still waiting for the ideal multisig solution.

This will be one of the most secure ways of making paper wallets https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/mycelium-entropy
In my opinion, Armory is the most secure wallet.
I comes with many security-related features.
Thank you for the quick response!I comes with many security-related features.
Can I make paper wallets with Armory? I know that I cannot with Multibit
