I am really tired of Blockchain, it adjust the bad fees and transactions get late. I want to hold more control over my transactions and understand bitcoins.

Can someone please suggest me a new wallet to use on PC ? How's Bitcoin Core , Bitcoin-QT and more ?

Do tell

I will suggest you mysselium wallet . In this wallet you can set your transaction charge ( as economic ) as You want .
this will give you better loading fascility also , because it is working upon slow net .

you can try coinbase.com if you don't want to pay fees.

NO - NO - NO

Never, ever use Coinbase as a wallet.

Stop telling people to use it, you have no control over it, no control over your BTCs and no way to recover your coins if Coinbase is offline.

As the other say, you can use bitcoin core or electrum since you don't want online wallet?

you can try coinbase.com if you don't want to pay fees.

Rule # 1 : Never use an Online / Hosted Wallet
Rule # 2 : Never use a non-opensource wallet

You can use Electrum with 2FA, it is light, fast and available on all platforms (I assume you use Windows).
If you can afford a hardware wallet, you can link it to Electrum and all transactions will have to be authorized via the hardwallet.

Use electrum. It is safe, it is fast, you can sign messages, it does everything a common core wallet can do and most importantly, it doesn't download hundreds of gigabytes of useless crap like the core wallets.

Alternatively there is an app called "breadwallet" for ios. If you like to check your acc balance every once in a while, it is cool.

I use and recommend desktop wallets like electrum. It automatically adjusts the amount of fees required for the transaction as per the latest fee from the blockchain data thereby ensuring that your transactions don't get delayed.
Even if you want to continue using blockchain.info wallet and want control over the transactions, then there are advanced settings to accomplish it.
Bitcoin core and bitcoin qt are heavy wallets, that is they require gigabytes of data to synchronize with the network thereby interfering in the PC storage and internet bandwidth.
Light wallets like electrum, mycellium download just chunks of data off the blockchain and so are economical to use.

Granted Electrum and Mycelium or other SPV wallets do offer significant advantages to the size of the wallets, they compromise privacy. SPV wallets broadcast the addresses to the peers in order to get the information regarding the address. This would in turn allow the peers to determine which IP the address belongs to, decreasing your privacy.

If you have a decent bandwidth, hardware but you care about your disk space, consider running Bitcoin Core with pruning enabled.

for bitcoin wallet on PC, i use only multibit because the software is fast loading and no need to syncronize to long and its really helpful for me which don't have highspeed internet connection. i have use the bitcoin core and bitcoin-qt already and i am not like it because its need syncronize too long.

Give CoinJar a try.
No fees and not a whole lot of wait time for your transactions to send from what I have heard about blockchain lately.
It looks like what you are looking for in a wallet. Grin

I have my local bank's wallet and that's pretty good and best for me, it's fee is 0.0001 bitcoin on every transactions, for 1 and 10 btc, fee is same and transactions were always fast and I am pleased with them. I think it won't be usable for you but you can try BlockTrail, it's really great, I was using it until that. When I was using BlockTrail, I can't remember when was transaction's time up to 30 minute, it was quickly. Also you can use exchange websites for wallets and etc.

Actually coinbase is an online wallet that has zero transaction fees unlike blockchain. For PC wallets, the most anonymous of them all is Armory (but it is heavy) then you have multibit and electrum (they have transaction fees).

Zero fee online wallets (Coinbase, Xapo) are a bait for newbies. Don't use them if you really want to have control over your Bitcoin.
Your transactions will be monitored and in case system find out that you used your BTC for gambling, or in some other way against their ToS your account will be blocked.

Op, if you have problem with bitcoin confirmation speed then you might spend more money on a fee, you can do that with blockchain.info wallet.
You need to know that using different wallet won't speed up process of sending/receiving bitcoin at all.

How about you become smart and switch to Electrum wallet. Enable dynamic fees in the options there and you will have total control on your fees too without using Blockchain.info .

Beside that the private keys will never leave your PC. Yes I know that blockchain.info doesn't store your password and bla bla bla uses json and all is done in the browser but how sure is that ? I would say not much considering that a browser has a lot of flaws.

With electrum if you install it in a clean PC and make sure to save the SEED like it needs to be saved, very carefully everything will be easy.

With blockchain.info wallet you have total control over how much fee is included...

Indeed, Use the advanced mode to choose your fee when you want to make a wire.

I don't use any of that two because it takes too much space on laptop. If you are looing for a desktop wallet consider electrum and multibit. You can know more about them and other wallets here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=37.0
