Topic: Which wallet should I use? (Read 322 times)
my recommendation is NANO S ... hardware wallets are the safest wallets because it doesn't show the private key.. but if you asking about online wallets .... you can try few wallets like coinbase
Iam using coinbase wallet for long time, still i didn't face any problem. It is very safe and secure wallet among other wallets.
Coinbase can NOT be considered a safe and secure wallet.
Don't consider 'coinbase' as a secure/safe wallet.
Coinbase is a company which does offer an exchange.
They do provide a service where they are in charge of your bitcoins, allowing you to withdraw them. But this is NOT a proper wallet, since you don't have access to your private keys, effectively NOT owning any bitcoins.

All you basically own when using such a service is some digits in their database tied to your account..
Moreover the transaction fees is minimal in this wallet when compared to other wallets.
The transaction fees require are completely independent to the wallet you are using.
Each (proper) wallet gives you the possibility to choose an estimated or set a fixed fee for your transaction.
ImToken for ERC-20 coins is good
Iam using coinbase wallet for long time, still i didn't face any problem. It is very safe and secure wallet among other wallets. The wallets with two factor authentication is always good for the coins. It supports four coins such as bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoincash and litecoin. Moreover the transaction fees is minimal in this wallet when compared to other wallets.
Electrum wallet is the best wallet to use, Iam using this wallet for long time. This is very safe and secure wallet, with two factor authentication. And it is enabled with Segwit address for low transaction fees. Other wallets such as mycelium, jaxx, exodus, coinomi, blockchain these are also the good wallets to use. But I don't have experience in this wallets. If you want you can try these wallets also.
According to me the best wallet is electrum wallet. Iam using this wallet for long time. It is suits for both desktop and mobile. This is very safe and secure wallet. Compare to other wallets the transaction fees is also low in this wallet. Electrum wallet supports two factor authentication and it is segwit enabled wallet. This wallet is mostly used by bitcoin users. Other wallets such as coinbase, mycelium these are wallets are also used by bitcoin people for their transactions.
This really depends on these 3 things:
1) the amount of BTC you want to store
2) the frequency you want to access your coins
3) the grade of security you want to achieve
If you want to store amounts which are 'big' enough to absorb the purchase of a hardware wallet -> Go for it. Ledger and Trezor are the best ones.
Those offer highest grade of security combined with convinience in daily usage.
If you don't want to buy a hardware wallet, but want to have highest possible security -> Go for a cold storage. This means store the private keys / seed only in an air-gapped offline environment.
Spending from such a wallet can be a hassle, but your coins will stay very secured.
If you want to access your coins frequently and don't want to buy a hardware wallet -> Go for a split-option. Create a cold wallet and store a big percentage of your holding there.
Use a light-weight wallet for your every-day spendings. I'd suggest Electrum in this case.

3 Most famous wallets they are Blockchain.info and Luno.com and Coinbase.com these are three wallets which are widely used in the market
Most famous =/= best
A perfect example. Luno and Coinbase are platforms to buy and sell bitcoin for fiat; and you should only use them for that one exact purpose. They don't even give you access to your private keys.
I will still recommend you to get back to use blockchain.info and this time add google 2fa to its . It is free and most secured wallet I have used since I came to cryptocurrency and I haven't got any issues with it.
Cryptonator.com - rightfully considered the most popular, thoughtful and reliable solution for creating bitcoin purse online. It is used both for daily work with crypto currency, and for more serious operations with it. This service allows you to exchange bitcoin for another crypto currency right in your wallet. It also has a convenient and understandable interface and supports a mobile application.
If you want to be on the safe side, you should try a hardware wallet. I can recommend Trezor. Easy to use, fast and very secure: https://trezor.io/
in my opinion electrum convenient and reliable electronic wallet. Try to please you. 
I'm looking for a kind wallet which is secure, easy fast to use and I control the private key, so no online wallet.
I've used blockchain.info in the past but my account got hacked I suppose because I couldn't log in anymore. I didn't use 2 factor at that time.
BitcoinCore took a very long time to synchronize and a transaction took more than a month, I gave 0,001BTC miners fee to send BTC to an exchange wallet. Maybe the exchange was having some issues.
The choice is between armory and electrum, I think.
What do you think?
Somehow separate wallet in this area is not in use, nowadays a lot of choice on the subject, each with their own udobstvami, so you will not be able to offer, it is better to learn about each and choose the suitable one for you.

I use metamask it is very convenient it can be opened immediately by entering the browser and it is also safe to store. It has some pluses.

The most important thing is to choose a place to store Bitcoin (Bitcoin Wallet) whose credibility is reflected from the founders and managers behind it. With Bitcoin wallet, the user has some sort of virtual bank account lets the person receive Bitcoin, pay with Bitcoin or save. I've used blockchain.info in the past but my account got hacked I suppose because I couldn't log in anymore. I didn't use 2 factor at that time.

I personally use a ledger nano s and it's very secure lightweight and has a very easy user interface. It can ve used to dave carioys types of crypto and uses a date if the art encryption system. The best part about it is no one can steal your funds without physically accessing the device.

I am using jaxx, exodus, and coinomi. All have Private keys and seems no problem so far in my wallets for 1 year using it with almost weekly active transactions.
You can use any wallet which has two factor authentication for safety and security of your crypto coins. I personally use coinbase wallet which has two factor authentication and it is one of the top wallet which is safe. You have some options like hardware wallet as well if you wanna go for long term investment. I don't have any other wallets information since I use only one wallet.
if I think the wallet is good to use and that I use to store my assets. maytherwallet (in token). and nem Wallet
These are the following wallets are.
1. Ledger Nano S
2. Jaxx
3. Exodus
4. Trezor
5. Mycelium
You can use any one out of them.

Your first choice should be Electrum, it is just what you ask for, it is light ( only need some 40 MB of download after install) , it is easy to use, you are in full control of your private keys and you have backup in form of seed words. Just use link in this post (to avoid fake wallets), create standard wallet and write down seed words ( be very careful with that ). Also set up strong and unique password for wallet.
Armory is not for you since it is also need BitcoinCore to be installed and completely synchronized.

I recommend Blockchain (web: blockchain.info)
Because Blockchain is a trusted and undoubtedly bitcoin wallet. We can see all bitcoin transactions like sending and receiving bitcoins from all blockchain accounts. Its security system can guarantee in every transaction and storage.
Another advantage is that blockchain makes it easy for merchants online merchant by preparing API technology. But behind all the advantages, still have shortcomings such as:
It is only possible to store bitcoin, meaning it can not yet store other coin coins such as etherum, litecoin etc.
For us as Indonesian people, in blockchain there is no bitcoin exchange service with rupiah currency. Instead of using blockchain we have to use another wallet as well.
I think you need to use blockchain wallet, because during that use I have never experienced any problems.
I have been using mycelium wallet for quite a long time and have not gotten any problem. I recommend it to you buddy
The choice is between armory and electrum, I think.
What do you think?
If you're choosing in between desktop wallets then electrum is your best choice since its a lightweight wallet and you dont need to download the whole blockchain, and if you want some mobile wallets I'll recommend Mycelium and I'm using this two wallets for more than 2 years now. What do you think?
I suggest you can use the ledger wallet, in some cases, breaking or hack not only from a leaked private key but also an unsafe internet connection, do not easily in believe for give away, always double check dude

Good choice you should avoid online wallets. Yes some of them provide you with backup option but as long as your keys on some bodies server the higher risk you have. As hackers might target them because they know if they get in they will have many wallets. You basically have two choices hardware wallets as somebody mentioned above ledger nano and trezor for instance
These come like USB stick and keys are on the device making it harder for anybody to get to them.
Or light wallets that keep keys on the device for desktop I'd recommend electrum and if you have android wallet electrum could be good as well but for Android I use this samurai wallet as I like their options. Anyway you should be careful here not to install any untrustworthy softwares such as cracked which could contain malware etc.
Try to use the wallet hardware, one of them is Ledger Nano S, Ledger Nano S is a hardware that is created to provide cryptocurrency with high security level, ledger nano s is very safe to use for storing digital assets in today because it is impossible for hackers to take coin which is in the ledger nano s without having the device and also the 16 codes provided at first install even if the owner of the ledger nano s also can not access its own wallet if it is to lose the nano s ledger or also the 16 code.
the best secure wallet for storing your bitcoins and other cryptocurrency is hardware wallets and for online wallet blockchain.info is best you can also try electrum
