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).
Very true about Armory. Armory for newbie would mean newbie to bitcoin world but now a newbie to computers.
Everyone seems to be suggesting blockchain here. We actually need to put a couple of suggestions on our site and thats why was wondering.
I saw a new one or maybe an old one, its called ecash.io. Any review/report on this? Was just wondering it might be better than blockchain if legit...considering its based on armory.
