Electrum is a feature-rich but not very user-friendly Bitcoin desktop wallet. If you're just starting out, I recommend avoiding Electrum, but if you already know the basic terms, it's a great choice. Created in 2011 by Thomas Voegtlin, Electrum has since been modified by different developers (the code is open source). Electrum is a client wallet - which means that to use it you have to download and install it on your computer. The client is only available for the office, which is a major…

Pros
  • Vert fast
  • Good safety features
  • Privacy is kept
Cons
  • Not beginner friendly

The most repliable SPV wallet

I have been using Electrum for more than two years and never faced any problem. Its user friendly UI makes it suitable even for those who never used a non-custodial wallet before. It allows you to be in full control over your funds. You can set fees manually or let it choose the appropriate fee for you. You can create a 2fa wallet. It has coin control feature which allows you to decide which UTXO to use. It supports SegWit and you can even create a multi-sig wallet. Note: make sure to download

Pros
  • User friendly
  • Non custodial
  • Coin control
Cons
  • Accepts only bitcoin

Electrum - A nicely developed Bitcoin wallet

Electrum is a nearly perfect wallet for Bitcoin lover. This wallet is simply a good option for anyone who wants to find a good means of storing and transferring Bitcoin. Along with significantly easy usage, Electrum can be adjusted in many sections and the network it runs on. This wallet is on my whitelist

Pros
  • - Electrum wallet does not require a lot of disk space capacity so it is suitable to the low spec computers
  • - Users can start using the wallet by restoring an existing wallet or create a new one. When creating a new wallet, users can freely choose among four different types: standard wallet, wallet with 2 factor-authentication, multi-signature wallet, or a watch-only address. Every type of wallet can be generated with many different methods
  • - Users can easily manage their passwords, seed phrases and private keys in a few clicks
  • - The interface is as simple as possible but it does not give me the feeling that it was poorly designed
  • - Sending and receiving Bitcoin with Electrum is very easy and convenient. With sending function, we can via PC's webcam, add a description for the transactions, adjust the number of transaction fees, and preview the transactions before their processing. With receiving function, it is possible to add the description, generate QR codes, and adjust the expiration time for the request. Transaction history can be imported and this is good for asset management
  • - It supports more than thirty languages; therefore, a lot of people coming from different countries will be able to use it
  • - It is possible to carry out many important settings on fees, transactions, general interface, fiat, or identity. It also lets the users make changes on the network (to protect privacy)
  • - Electrum wallet is a totally trusted wallet used by a lot of people in the world to manage and transfer Bitcoin
  • - Any bugs happening during the operation of the wallet can be reported on Electrum Github (this shows the project is transparent)
Cons
  • - The design of the user interface may be not for everyone as it is too simple and not colorful. It would be great if we can custom wallet's appearance
  • - There are some functions described in technical terms so people with little knowledge about IT may get confused
  • - Electrum is not the only Bitcoin wallet as there are many and many different Bitcoin wallets in the world
  • Users may get all their assets loss if their PC is infected by viruses or get hacked

A good wallet that you can use. But the wallet is not perfect, because there are downsides too!

Pros
  • Electrum is a good reliable wallet. There is nothing deprived, so how to use it - there is nothing easier!
Cons
  • There is one big minus. I asked 2 times to support my questions. And each time I was answered only after a while. Therefore, you should understand that if something happens to your account, you will not be answered immediately, you will have to wait, just like everyone else!

using the functions of the wallet is so simple and convenient that you do not need to think about whether the electrum community has recognized this or that wallet as official or not.

Pros
  • No loss of precious time to install and create a wallet. Just follow the instructions we described above To use the full functionality of the Electrum wallet, you do not even need to undergo training. Everything is clear on an intuitive level Immediately after registration, the user can access not one, but several wallets, while they themselves are identical, have the same set of functions, but allow you to effectively conclude transactions with various digital assets No search for free space on your hard drive. Choosing a purse Electrum, the user protects himself from the need to install any programs on the PC The creators of The electrum wallet have carefully thought through all the issues of anonymity and security to perfection, it is important for the user not to violate the rules of safe use of the wallet on his part
Cons
  • Electrum has its drawbacks, in particular the need to download wallets from various sites, as well as the inability to combine all these digital wallets into one wallet.

If you want a lightweight wallet packed with every feature you could need, this is the most reliable, robust and actively developed option there is available. They’ve been around since 2011 and they don’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. If you’re looking for something even more secure (but at a price, more than worth it for peace of mind) then you should check out the hardware wallets such as the Trezor and Ledger Nano S.

Pros
  • Electrum is one of the original Bitcoin lightweight wallets. There’s no inherent risk or detriment to using a lightweight wallet if all you plan to do is use it to send and receive coins. Tried and tested choice, Relatively secure for a desktop wallet, No need to download the whole blockchain, Easy to backup seeds.
Cons
  • *Can never be as secure as a hardware wallet. *Not pretty compared to others. *Not particularly user friendly and easy to use.
