I personaly use blockchain wallet:-)

i have experience, my email address get hacked, i lose my bittrex account, blockchain, and vip.bitcoin.co.id
im using 2fa (authy) installed on my chrome browser...

if you have smartphone, i recomended you to use bitcoin app or mycellium,, or you can instal electrum wallet on your computer

Or to have a personal hardware bitcoin client. Cheesy

I have been pushing Yubikey for people to use for 2nd factor with blockchain.   Everyone that uses blockchain needs to be using 2fa no reason for not doing it.

But look into Yubikey it's a amazing physical token to stop hackers with just password from getting into your blockchain wallet.  Also as always treat it as a hot wallet as it is a hot wallet, and should be daily spend.

This is the single most popular response it seems.  I wish we would have asked on wallet to say you use it with X security.

For example they say if they are using 2factor.  I would love to see percent of those using 2 factor on hot wallets vs those with 1 password, which is scary thought just having it.

For security and convenience, use the Ledger HW.1/Nano.

For super-strong security but not much convenience, use a cold wallet running armory.

For regular trades and a risky security, use coinbase/blockchain.info.

i use blockchain too but i guess i should move my coins

Why you move your coins insteade on blockchain ? i think blockchain is good for stored your bitcoin, but don't stored to many bitcoins, blockchain is good for stored and received your coins from service or smth.

Just make sure you treat it as a hot wallet.  It is very important on this.  Don't use it as your long term hold, like cold wallet should be.

Just make sure to also use 2 factor.  There are multiple options I may seem crazy but Yubikey's really are great on it.  If not that use one of other options.

From what I remember, Blockchsain.info has weak security and can be hacked. I use Blockchain on my Tab but I don't leave money in it. For the longest time I've been using Bitcoin Core. It's more secure than Blockchain. Yes it's slower and you have to pay for it but it is more secure.

If using it treat blockchain.info as a hot wallet.  There are uses for them, but they should not have a ton in it.  More like daily spend account for BTC.

Also you can add 2 factor I recently went with Yubikey testing it with blockchain.info and it worked great - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/hands-onyubikey-help-secure-your-digital-assets-including-blockchaininfo-1353231

Yeah, it was even delisted from https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet I think a year ago due to reason that it wasn't secure enough. It used to be my main wallet but since then I switched to electrum. I must say electrum will be the best bitcoin wallet so far for me. Haven't tried bitcoin core though cuz I can't manage to download such huge file Cheesy

It is not secured if you did not add some security features on your account. Bitcoin core downloads the whole blockchain data and it isn't recommended if you have small storage for data. For me, armory is the best of all the bitcoin wallet software.

How about paperwallet it's safe or not..?

it has same weakness due to the printing especially, you need to be sure that the private key was not memorized in the cache of the printer

also it's not very comfortable to use, i prefer a usb stick


But Its very safe one according to its security concern. Paper wallet and offline wallet are very secured one. Scammers will not able to hack your wallet easily. But in online wallet and trading site wallets Hackers can attack it.

Bitcoin Core is the way to go.

think again about network and hardisk


Blockchain is the best wallet I have been using it from long time and it's been very safe and secure and very easy as well.

yeah. The most popular Bitcoin wallet today. Blockchain.info allows you to send and receive Bitcoins through your browser or mobile phone. This is what’s known as a hybrid wallet. the company stores your wallet online but they do not have access to your private keys.
However since the wallet is loaded from their servers some trust in the company is still needed. Recommended for beginners who are trying out Bitcoin.
