For any newbie it is very important to know what wallets are and how to use them in correct way.

Best website to introduce you with wallets in Bitcoin.org

https://bitcoin.org/

 

Best desktop wallet is Electrum, but you can and compare it with other wallets.

There are also options for mobile, web and hardware wallets.

 

Always double check if you are on official Electrum wallet website:

https://electrum.org

I saw one member reporting that his account at blockchain.com was hacked,

so I also don't recommend anyone using online wallets like that.

If we are talking about best desktop wallet for only Bitcoin,
your best bet is to use Electrum wallet.

Only download it from official website.

Note: You can manually adjust fees if you want.

I use electrum and I find it the easiest to use. The others are also quite good. Especially the bitcoin core wallet if you use it right it is the most secure one ever created. If security is what you are after go with the core. If you look for practically go with electrum.

I used blockchain and Coinbase in the past, but presently looking to move my funds into Electrum wallet. Does somebody tell me what could be the fee in Elctrum while moving funds to outside of the wallet?

Does is it cheaper than Blockchain?

For those who were concerned about retaining privacy  and anonymity I would advise Wasabi wallet that has build-in  CoinJoins protocol to mix coins coming from trustless sources.

Yeah Wasabi is great if you want privacy for your bitcoin transactions.
Other option I like a bit better is samourai wallet  https://samouraiwallet.com/

I would like to see more options in future also

Wasabi wallet is only used for private transactions...
and have higher fees because it has integrate mixing option.

Electrum is just fine and best option for regular users

If I am not wrong samourai don't have coin control option that allows to choose UTXO manually and thus construct transactions,  so in this respect  it is  less advanced than wasabi. At the same the last can not be installed on mobile as it is desktop-only wallet. So those who focused on mobile wallets should pay attention to  samourai.

The wallets I have used so far:

~ Bitcoin core

~ Electrum

~ BitPay

Electrum is the best for everyone I think because it doesn't require anything to be downloaded unlike Bitcoin Core, Core requires a lot of time to be sync as well as a lot of space in the device unless anyone using prune mode.

I really do not have much idea but what I understand is that they have full node in their server and from there the Electrum client synchronize the wallet.

I could be totally wrong in it.

There are a lot of server from Electrum, you can connect anyone of them or it can also be automatically done. Sometimes, you have to change the server if anything goes wrong with default chosen server.

I am talking about the synchronization of the whole blockchain. In those servers they have the full nodes so may be the client we have in out desktop it synchronize with those nodes.

Without synchronizing they can not update the blockchain of-course.

Yup, Electrum server is doing the downloading the blockchain for us. I have seen some altcoin blockchain have pre-downloaded blockchain which is being updated time to time in their official. Don't know why such file isn't available for Bitcoin.

I think you are correct. There must have some connection with the full node and the servers are the only logical option.

I really do not have much idea about those alts. 😊

A crypto hodler must have a hardware wallet for the maximum security.

Well what do you think about a multiSig wallet?

are planing to pay interest on your crypto balance.

Sounds cool, I hope we will not see another version of Bittttcooooonnnnecttttt!

This kind of wallet or whatever you say it which offer interest, will certainly one day get run out because when there will be a significant price change, they will get trouble to be stable.

Nexo makes profit as they offer their users a credit line against their crypto holdings. If you choose to take a credit you pay between 8-12% p.a. Interest. That is how they are able to pay interest to hodlers and offer a no fee policy

Make sure someday they will not run away with the money you are giving them to hold. Really guys, please do not get greedy. Not your keys not your coins.

It's very similar as lending platform, I think you should not use it as wallet. You must be aware of the possible risk, we have seen it earlier, right?

Now it's up to you. I would not bother putting a single penny there.

Electrum is my preferred bitcoin wallet, I don't want to download the whole chain as I don't have space anymore because it's consuming a huge size to my disk.

25 хвилин тому Iv4n сказав:

Я маю Ledger Nano роками, і це мій єдиний біткойн-гаманець, і я не планую його міняти. Якщо у вас є більше грошей в криптовалюті, вам потрібно подумати про придбання надійного гаманця. Це може бути дорого, але це разова витрата, яка забезпечить ваші кошти роками. 

Also a good option for storing coins. When ordering such a wallet it is necessary to be careful and careful that the whole, packed purse with a protective tape comes to you. And it is still interesting what is the life of the wallet and whether it can break?

    • Майнер криптовалюты Hut 8 Corp опубликовал отчет о своих результатах за последние шесть месяцев. Согласно пресс-релизу компании , Hut 8 увеличила выручку до $60,6 млн за шесть месяцев, закончившихся 31 декабря 2023 года. Основные показатели финансовой отчетности Hut 8 включают увеличение выручки на 32% и значительное увеличение чистой прибыли до $6,2 млн по сравнению с к предыдущему чистому убытку. Стоимость майнинга биткойнов ( BTC ) составила 18 815 долларов США, и за этот период компания добыла 1244 биткойна. Стоимость энергии Hut 8 за МВтч составила 44,52 доллара США, что отражает эффективность управления затратами на электроэнергию. Биткойн укрепляет активы Hut 8 Сила баланса компании очевидна в ее активах в биткойнах : по состоянию на 31 декабря 2023 года 9 195 биткойнов оценивались примерно в 388,1 миллиона долларов. Эта база активов обеспечивает Hut 8 значительную рыночную стоимость и потенциал для будущих доходов. Биткойн демонстрирует устойчивый рост с начала года после того, как спотовые биткойн- ETF в США привлекли в биткойн институциональных и розничных инвесторов. С начала года первая и до сих пор лидирующая криптовалюта в мире подорожала на 60%, а в начале марта BTC обновил свой исторический максимум, поднявшись выше $70 000. Кроме того, рыночная капитализация Биткойна превысила 1,4 триллиона долларов, что сделало самую ценную криптовалюту восьмым по величине активом в мире, обогнав серебро.
