How to choose wallet for different devices  

Your Bitcoin wallet is what allows you to transact with other users. It gives you ownership of a Bitcoin balance so that you can send and receive bitcoins. Just like email, all wallets can interoperate with each other. Before you start with Bitcoin, be sure to read what you need to know first.

Get started fast and easy

• MultiBit is an app you can download for Windows, Mac and Linux.
• Bitcoin Wallet for Android runs on your phone or tablet.

Be part of the Bitcoin network

Do you have a computer that you keep switched on all the time, that's connected to the Internet? You can help the community by simply running the full Bitcoin client on it. The full client is more resource intensive and will take a complete day to synchronize. After that your computer will contribute to the network by checking and relaying transactions.

Software wallets

Software wallets are installed on your computer. They give you complete control over your wallet. You are responsible for protecting your money and doing backups.

          Mobile wallets

     Mobile wallets allow you to bring            Bitcoin with you in your pocket. You       can exchange coins easily and pay      in physical stores by scanning a QR      code or using NFC "tap to pay".

        Web wallets

Web wallets allow you to use Bitcoin anywhere with less effort to protect your wallet. However, you must choose your web wallet with care as they host your bitcoins.
