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.
I think that the original btc wallet is as safe as it gets, Armory is hardcore stuff. If you want an easy interface use Electrum as others have suggested, but do not forget to consider the options of paper wallets and brain wallet as well. These are the easiest and at least as secure as Armory.
Just my 2 satoshis worth.
I have been using BTC for awhile, and Armory is still intimidating for me. A newbie should be able to use a trezor as well. I just said coinbase because you can do it all in one spot. With other wallets, you still need to buy the coins elsewhere.
