Offline cold storage wallets are always the best for large amounts or accredited exchanges only for small amounts.

I often see him promoting his referral links here so as expected when I quoted his reply, I found another referral link. Don't worry those are just empty words used to lure users into his referral link. I bet he's not gonna promote if it doesn't offer any referral commissions.




i would say the exactly same thinkn when there is no refferal program !
iam still using this page since 4 years and he has a great alexa rank ways better then most other online walleds!
freebitcoin has same trafic as blockchain.info so for me its a good option!

Based on this, looks like your suggestions are highly affected by these "commissions" that you're getting (even with other topics). Well, I find it as a bad recommendation and I think it's biased.
Also, would you mind to share your bitcoin address on freebitcoin? We would like to know how much money have you put on it == how much trust you put on them.

Your words are empty to me until proven. Looking at your trust history, it seems you've already promoted a couple of ponzi's and as expected you are also in SMAS blacklist (I'm surprised you're on yahoo's campaign though)

And traffic has nothing to do with a wallet's security.

They are clearly the market leaders in terms of online btc wallet.   What are the alternatives?
Yes they were considered as the leaders in terms of online BTC wallet but after a hack of a lot of accounts of wallets they are no more the leaders as I have not heard that they will refund the members who lost their money even a few weeks ago the hackers were captured from Ukraine. I think now xapo is the leader but still I will suggest to use desktop wallet they are more convenient for the use of bitcoin.

As a leading web wallet I don't think that blockchain wallet has some competition, at least I'm not aware of it.
They got the best domain for making web wallet as bitcoin is tied up and well known to its blockchain technology. Every newbie will recognize "blockchain" and will trust to them since they got the domain.

However, web wallets are the least secure and I suggest that you avoid that option or at least combine it with some other types of wallets.
Don't store too much bitcoin there so that you'll be at least safe, don't trust web wallets that much.

So you could choose among Electrum, Mycelium or Ledger as my favorite wallets that I can strongly recommend.
I'll go with Electrum if no budget of buying a Ledger nano S, also greenaddress is also a good wallet.

I just wanted to use blockchain.info for temp use
Just don't use it if you'll thinking to put big amount of bitcoins there for good. Don't use it as a storehouse, use other wallets that are even safer than bc.info. You can try greenaddress if you can't avail a hardware wallet.
As many others suggested, it is not recommended to use online wallets. But if you prefer web wallets over software or hardware ones, blockchain.info looks the best option in my opinion since it has lots of feature like for example the option to buy BTC and ETH directly from your wallet.
I'm using it because it's very handy and easy to use but it's only for small amount not with big amounts. Greenaddress is a good one which supports Segwit too.
Never tested yet green address wallet but for me i still feel safe to use electrum for lite version of bitcoin core..
You can backup seeds and private key and save anywhere in your computer or you can write down it into paper or notes..
And i was holding a good amount of bitcoin and until now never experience any issue.. the good thing you can use the latest segwit that you can reduce your transaction fee every time you transfer bitcoin unlike legacy wallet or non segwit wallet .

Just always remember use a wallet which you can backup the private key so that if the wallet lock down you can recover your wallet into other wallet with private key support..
Electrum is still safe after all and its developer Thomas is one of the most prominent person in the bitcoin economy and he has contributed a very big thing for providing this type of wallet. But with greenaddress you better try it out, it's a good wallet that allows you to support segwit as they are supporting it already. I find it the same thing with electrum, you can bump the fee if you get stuck so for others who are looking for alternative, not only with electrum have a try with greenaddress.
If i have to choose among the two then i would go for electrum which it do suits my need and its really convenient for me to use up but well this would be entirely depending on peoples preference which would suit him. Greedaddress is also good which do really support segwit and thats a good advantage when it bumping tx's.
There's no need to choose on these two beautiful wallets, they are both safe and reliable. If you are good with electrum then go with it but sometimes it's also a good idea to try out other wallets that are also trusted. But as long as the fees are like and the confirmation aren't delay anymore there's no need for us to use their bumping TX's feature. Waiting while our transaction are getting confirmed should be enough to all of us who paid enough for the fee.

Blockchain.info was a good alternative to people who want ease of access and have a lot of mobility in their life, who hasn't in our time nowadays ? Now that Electrum is available for mobiles running the Android operating system it is a no brainer to stop using blockchain.info and start running Electrum. It is one of the most used wallets here in the forum and I think it is because of the features and security it offers compared to other wallets. Still use the mobile version of Electrum only for daily trading, gambling and spending, do not keep a big amount of coins in it. Also make sure the Seed is stored in a safe place in case you lose or broke your phone.

Electrum is a good choice as it has segwit wallet too and I've seen people here in the forum does have that "bc" address and it came from electrum if I'm correct. But for now, I'll remain with blockchain.info as I like the adjustment with the fees which is really convenient to me.
This doesn't make sense. You can also adjust your fees in Electrum, but if you choose a Segwit address, you will pay 50% less in fees. I really don't see any advantage on using Blockchain's wallet. You can even choose a wallet with addresses starting with a "3" rather than the "bc1" format for better compatibility.
I'm just explaining that there are people who already adopted the "bc1" address with electrum and that's what I've noticed here in forum. As there are signature campaign's who are already 100% segwit. There's not that much advantage with blockchain.info but it's most of us here are just used to it.

I've been using the blockchain.info wallet for a few years now and didn't have any problems whatsoever, except for the fee oscillating.
You can get your private keys, various security options, has direct exchange,etc... the only thing that's missing is the support for segwit.
I am also using blockchain for a while now and it has really low fee when we compare it with its rival of coinbase wallet,and it also has more security options than coinsbase.So blockchain wallet can be considered as the alternatives for many wallets but I am wondering why the OP is looking for alternative to blockchain.info.
But I have seen that blochchain wallets more ofter faces bugs like can't send the bitcoin,so it may be a reason for him to search an another wallet.

I just found a wallet name called cryptonator multi coin wallet but I never tried it so if you want to try use it with you own risk.

I have no issue with blockchain.info either and with their segwit support, I think it will be on March.
https://blog.blockchain.com/2017/11/15/segwit-bitcoin-cash-update/
But electrum is also available in android platform,one of the best wallet for bitcoin,so you can try it also.

I think the blockchain is one of the best online wallet,but there are lots of online wallets are available but none of its are highly secure to store our funds.But coinbase could be a good altenative for blockchain.info wallet,but recently I found that blockchain wallet has less fee than the coinbase.
But none of the supporting segwit addresses yet,so the fee is more than we compare to the other software wallets.

But electrum is also available in android platform,one of the best wallet for bitcoin,so you can try it also.
