Topic: Which Wallet should be suggested to a newbie? - page 5. (Read 4234 times)
As a newbie i used bitcoin-qt & as a long term holder i still use bitcoin-qt.
bitcoin-qt and blockchain
exactly what i am using.
blockchain.info > hot wallet to buy stuff
bitcoin-qt > long term holding
I would say the Blockchain.info. Online, easy to use and safe IMO. 
The two I would recommend for a newbie is Electrum and blockchain.info. These are the two that are better for newbies to work with over the others. I personally would not suggest bitcoin-qt as I don't feel myself it's as newbie friendly as the others I stated.

Don't use a site that doesn't give you full control of the private keys (e.g. Coinbase and any of the exchanges and ecash.io).
There I fixed it.
Ya that was stupid of me. Anyways, thanks. So I guess Electrum and Armory it is unless someone suggests something better. Thanks for help. This was quick.

Further to the above, I also feel electrum actually is perfect. Wish it had a better UI. If nothing else, I would suggest Electrum but I dont want to suggest an online provider.
Hi Everyone. I was wondering about your thoughts on which wallet you think can be suggested to newbies that can ensure a high level of safety. Armory is already considered but I would like to know everyones thoughts about any other wallet services...offline or online? Thanks.
Armory is not newbie-friendly, and neither is Bitcoin Core (Qt). I recommend Mycelium for Android, Electrum for PC/Mac/Linux, and Blockchain.info for IOS.
Blockchain.info has the advantage of the ability to access the same wallet from different devices, but has the disadvantage of needing the site to be available in order to use it.

Very true about Armory. Armory for newbie would mean newbie to bitcoin world but now a newbie to computers.
Everyone seems to be suggesting blockchain here. We actually need to put a couple of suggestions on our site and thats why was wondering.
I saw a new one or maybe an old one, its called ecash.io. Any review/report on this? Was just wondering it might be better than blockchain if legit...considering its based on armory.

I should add that the wallet must have a way to safeguard people against computer failures. Bitcoin-qt should not be suggested to a newbie however easy it might be to use. The idea is to suggest a newbie and easy and an automatically safe wallet.

Blockchain for online wallet, use only for small spends
I like Electrum, think it's pretty intuitive to use
