Topic: Yet Another Reason to Have Various BTC Wallets - page 2. (Read 1060 times)
I never keep my coins in a single wallet. They are distributed across a number of online and offline wallets. Fees was not one of my biggest considerations. Safety was my first priority, along with anonymity.
I somehow agree with you, wallets developers (as expert) should however understand more then us the importance of fees. So either allowing users to set dynamic fees or a smart enough algorithm that check the current number of unconfirmed transaction and their fees and calculate based on that.
I don't think there's a need for diversity, one just has to try a few and use the few ones that are really good. Personally, I only use breadwallet at the moment. It doesn't let me set a fee, but its fee calculating algorithm never let me down. If you really want to set a fee, just use Core or any of its derivatives. If you want to set a fee but don't want a full blockchain, take Electrum.

I believe it was yesterday when knowledgeable observer BitcoinNewsMagazine wrote that recent firmware updates (in Trezor and Ledger, which had always worried me...) were in many cases important after all.
One important reason is that many older wallets only allow certain amounts to be paid as fees... Without the ability to be able to send a higher fee, our transactions now would be stuck in Purgatory for eternity.
So, I have various wallets, hardware, PC and blockchain.info.
Diversity in wallets, JUST to be able to pay the now ever-present high fees looks like a really good idea.
