A new, more user-friendly and simple set of pages designed to help people find an ideal bitcoin wallet is now available. It includes a step-by-step wizard to help people become more familiar with wallets, ratings to compare how they stack up alongside other wallets, as well as explanations of features they provide in order to help people make their own informed decisions. Aside from the wizard, a completely new comparative table and selector is available so people can see how wallets fare against one another. This is designed to help people quickly find a wallet to meet their needs.
