Bounty:10 Steem: What is your favorite BTC wallet and why?
Its been a while since ive been changing my wallets on phone and so I wanted to know what are good wallets to use as hot wallet on your phone and PC.
They need to be:
- Safe and Secure and manage keys of course. They are supposed to be real wallets
- Easy to use
- Have good feature set to mange keys and addresses (like i want to be able to create a new address for privacy purposes)
- What other coins to they support (this is secondary but not insignificant)
Let me know what you think the best wallets are and why
Update
It looks like many are confused as to what I am looking for: this is for a wallet on your phone or PC to be used as a hot wallet. This means spending money and amounts i would be happy with carrying in my pockets.
Not looking for
- things that are unrelated to the above
- exchanges
- hw wallets
I love Copay, because:
I think you'll like it too, @knircky... ;)

Well, let me know... Thank you! :)

On the desktop I use Exodus - it's great! Supports multiple currencies and provides the inbuilt exchange (through ShapeShift). The support service also responds quickly and professionally, I'm fully satisfied.
Funny story happened right now, BTW. I tried to exchange Golem for Status, but the transaction failed and I got the Golem back minus the commission. I wrote to the support, they responded quickly and promised to refund the fee (about 2.83 GNT). Funny how they refunded 12.83 GMT, 10 coins more than the loss was. Not sure if that's intentional, but you can see why I love it, right?
And on the mobile I have Jaxx but I don't really use it, because I have Exodus, which is heaps better anyhow.

My favorite BTC wallet is coinbase. Because it's cost free & multiple layer of security. Also its a user friendly (easy to use). If user want create their new address they can easily create. Coinbase support Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum and Litecoin.
Airbitz/Edge Wallet (iOS and Android)
"Edge proudly ships with native support for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Dash, Augur REP, and Wings tokens. We’re also the only multi-asset mobile wallet that allows users to manually add ERC-20 tokens that we don’t natively support!"

i personally prefer Jaxx wallet loaded onto an external hard drive. Jax allows you to manage your keys and has a constantly growing number of cryptos available.
aside from jaxx my #2 is exodus
I am also looking into Agama because I hear their devs are working on cross chain atomic swaps.

Well I can name Armory wallet for pc, it's one of most secure wallet I know, also it matchs with all your requested features, so it's one of best wallets. Concerning mobile apps, I dont recomend saving big amounts of btc there, its very risky, for small amounts I am using blockchain.info app and had no issue with it since using it almost two years, but again, I dont recomend saving of big amounts there
again, this is for spending money. So we are concerned about usability foremost.
Well, as I mentioned blockchain.info app is very good candidate, it's very simple and hes all features, that you need, also you can store there ETH and BCH too, I'm also using it, just try and check it, you can download it from appstore or google play, or find links on https://blockchain.info/en/wallet/#/

Just use Ledger Nano and be safe about it. Trezor will work as well, but you need a hardware wallet for any serious cash.
Light wallets on phones, are just begging to get robbed.
I would also make sure that you 2FA your email, if you have any information about your crypto on there, and definitely do it on Coinbase and other exchanges, if you chose to keep funds there.
