Bitcoin Core
Bitcoin Core is a full Bitcoin client
and builds the backbone of the network. It offers high levels of security,
privacy, and stability. However, it has fewer features and it takes a lot of
space and memory.Control over your money:-
This wallet gives you full control over
your bitcoins. This means no third party can freeze or lose your funds. You are
however still responsible for securing and backing up your wallet.
Full node:-
This wallet is a full node that validates
and relays transactions on the Bitcoin network. This means no trust in a third
party is required when verifying payments. Full nodes provide the highest level
of security and are essential to protecting the network. However, they require
more space (over 20GB), bandwidth, and a longer initial synchronization time.
Complete transparency:-
This wallet is open-source and built
deterministically. This means any developer in the world can audit the code and
make sure the final software isn't hiding any secrets.
Vulnerable environment:-
This wallet can be loaded on computers
which are vulnerable to malware. Securing your computer, using a strong
passphrase, moving most of your funds to cold storage or enabling two-factor
authentication can make it harder to steal on your bitcoins.
Improved privacy:-
Prevents spying on your payments:
This wallet makes it harder to spy on
your balance and payments by rotating addresses. You should still take care to
use a new Bitcoin address each time you request payment.
Avoids disclosing information:
This wallet does not disclose
information to peers on the network when receiving or sending a payment.
Tor can be used:
This wallet lets you setup and use Tor
as a proxy to prevent attackers or Internet service providers from associating
your payments with your IP address.
