The most strong way is cold storage, you see bitfinex uses multi-sig address, but was still hacked, no secure in that way. 120k btc stolen, shcked!!!!!!! Shocked

I don't think so? if you don't trust any online bitcoin wallet you can try bitcoin core but this is not safe also when your computer had virus or malware it's possible to affect your bitcoin.

You should ensure the computer and a clean USB Cold storage before you transfer your bitcoin to your address. Actually I trust online wallet, I use poloniex addy. But I just say Cold storage is the safest one.

Save money in the exchanger is much more risky than you save in an online wallet, you are ready if hearing poloniex got hacked even though I didn't expect it that way because I use that exchange too.

Good informatio except this line

Phones and web wallets tend to be less secure than core wallets and cold storage.

I think
Iphone are more secure and are the best

Not only that, to make use of this "guide" u should have general computer knowledge.
Problem is so many people want to use bitcoin when they almost only know how to turn computer on and off or open a web page.

That is real problem.

Hey there Velkro!

I just would like, if you let me, to argue with you on the "source of the problem" you mention above. I definitely think that I would qualify to your "people want to use bitcoin when they almost only know how to turn computer on and off or open a web page." definition of users... But I strongly disagree with you on the "problematic" sense of using Bitcoin.

If you want Bitcoin to develop and reach its full potential, you need to adapt the software to the (dumb and computerwise primitive) people not the other way around. Bitcoin was, in my modest opinion, founded to improve society and reach the maximum number of people possible. You could argue that everyone should learn to code, about cyphers and algorithm but in some countries and for some particular people that's an impossible reach.

Again you should focus all your efforts in making Bitcoin accessible to the people and waste time in expecting the other way around to happen...

Nothing agressive here, your comment could just discourage "people".

All the best!

I have always heard that trading is a risky business that is best to avoid. I am impressed that it's possible to work full time as a trader.

I think trading can not be a job that is full or major. Since you already know trading is a risky thing, and all the investment have risk. I think it's better if trading just as a sideline rather than as the main occupation, because the trading results are also uncertain. IMO

Like the info on "Bitcoins Safe", many more info can be shared on accessing the forum smart to earn BTC. Ofcourse lots of information has been shared in this forum to learn.

Is it possible to get an account which is already earning BTC? I am blank on this... I am not sure whether it is good or bad. Please advise

You mean Bitcointalk account??
It's possible to buy an account but be aware that it's discourage by the community. For your current situation it will lead to bad result and this is the most common mistake by newbies. They tend to buy high rank accounts but still asking newbie questions or sometimes shit posting.

What i can advise is, you should wait for months or until you have the knowledge on bitcoin/here in the forum.

Thank you for share it, it really help us, but the main thing is that specially those people who like bitcoins they know how to save it and everyone use his own ways, and now we see all cryptocurrencies are save, also bitcoin is save.
most of the cryptocurrencies are here but bitcoin is the first, in this time, most of the against issues are here of bitcoin, but we still like bitcoin and using it.

Thanks for these tips. I don't follow all the 12 steps at this moment, but it's always good to know how to make our wallet and Bitcoins more safe.

Is possible to hack Blockchain.info site for an example and steal wallets balances? This is my only fear.

Well most are common sense but some you can easily forget or make a human error. The most common ones and I cannot stress it enough but the following rules are so important. Write them down !
#5: DOUBLE CHECK ALL URLS

#6: DOUBLE CHECK THE CRYPTO ADDRESS

#9: BE CAREFUL WITH DOWNLOADING TOO MANY WALLETS

And probably most important....

#10: BACKUP YOUR PRIVATE KEYS

And not online offline. Offline is always best.

Thanks for this informative post. But using different address for each transaction is a way kind of hassle. Much better to use only 1 btc address for each transaction.

Phones are not good place to keep bitcoins, because it's easy to lose your phone with all bitcoins or someone can easily steal phone from your pocket.

I prefer to have something portable which i can use in many devices like laptop or phone on the go, but stucking only on the phone is not a good idea. A good idea is to have another security layer at the phone like CM Security and mazlock.

it is not about convenience it is about security. of course it is good to have a wallet on your phone and carry it around so you have access to your funds at all times but you should always keep in mind the risks you are taking so keep minimum amount there.

it is just like your physical wallet which you put in your back pocket, as you don't carry around thousands of dollars in your back pocket then you should not keep tens of bitcoin in your phone (hot) wallet.

If you constantly carry your phone around, it is very insecure. Theft, damage, anything really.
Web wallets are obviously the worst possible option.

The line is correct.
