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.
Don't use a site that doesn't give you full control of the private keys (e.g. Coinbase and any of the exchanges).
