So far, you've probably heard of Bitcoin [1] or block chains [2]. The price of bitcoin has soared several times over the past few months, and the trend is continuing almost daily. The demand for Bitcoin seems to grow at an astronomical rate for a minute.

With the demand for digital money, software is needed to manage money: Bitcoin clients. Searching for "bitcoin clients" on Google play or app Store will result in a lot of results. There are many bit-currency clients that support Linux, but there are only 5 of them, not in a particular order.

Why use the client.

The client can easily manage your bitcoin. Many clients provide different levels of security to ensure that you do not lose valuable digital currency. In short, you will find it to be helpful, believe me.

1. Bitcoin Core

Bitcoin Core

As the name implies, this is the core of the Bitcoin client. It has a very simple interface. Compared with other popular customers, it is safe and provides the best privacy protection. The bad thing is that it has to download all the Bitcoin transactions, which have more than 150GB of data. As a result, it uses more resources than other clients.

To download the Bitcoin Core Client, please visit the download page [3]. Ubuntu users can install it through the PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin

sudo apt update

sudo apt install bitcoin*

2. Electrum

Electrum

Electrum is another interesting bit-currency client. It is looser than most clients because the money can be recovered from the password-you don't have to worry about forgetting the key. It provides other features that allow you to easily manage Bitcoin, such as multiple signatures and cold storage. One advantage of electrum is that you can see the equivalent of your bitcoin currency. Unlike Bitcoin Core, it does not require a full copy of the Bitcoin transaction.

Here's how to download electrum:

sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools python3-pyqt5 python3-pip

sudo pip3 install https://download.electrum.org/3.0.3/Electrum-3.0.3.tar.gz

Make sure to see the appropriate version to install on the Web site [4].

3. Bitcoin knots

Bitcoin knots is only a little different from the Bitcoin core, offering more advanced features than the Bitcoin core. In fact, it derives from Bitcoin Core. However, it is important to know that some features are not well tested.

Like Bitcoin Core, Bitcoin Knots also uses a lot of space because it downloads a copy of a full bitcoin transaction.

The PPA and tar files can be downloaded here [5].

4. Bither

Bither

Bither has a very simple user interface that is very simple to use. It allows access via password and has a currency viewer as well as a cold/hot mode. The client is simple, but it can be used.

Here [6] Download the bither.

5. Armory

Armory

Armory is another common bit-currency client. It includes many features, such as cold storage. This allows you to manage your bitcoin without connecting to the Internet. In addition, there are additional security measures to ensure that the private key is completely protected from attack.

You can get the Deb file from this download website [7]. Open the Deb and install it on Ubuntu or Debian. You can also download items on github[8].

Now that you understand that there is a Bitcoin client that can manage your digital currency, then sit down and relax and watch your Bitcoin value grow.
