Hi all. I'm a novice on this forum. I want to know which Bitcoin wallet is the safest and the most convenient at the same time?
I've heard good feedbacks about Armory but as I understood it works only with Bitcoin-Qt. But Bitcoin-Qt weighs more than 30GB... Is it worth of this?  Huh

Perhaps someone can share better variants and explain why -  I would be very grateful for recommendations.

SPV wallets or Lite wallets are the way to go if you are not looking for some node functionalities on your wallet. It is easy to use and also novice-friendly unlike the Bitcoin-QT wallet which is more of an advanced client targeted to the tech savvy people looking for some more functionalities. I'm using Electrum (though I have the QT installed in my machine too) as of this moment and so far I haven't encountered any problems with it. Smiley

Oh and one last word, as much as possible, stay away from online wallets.
