Topic: Best Online Wallet? (Read 21732 times)
Blockchain.info is the best online wallet, it has got cool interface and very easy to use. I have been using it for several years without any problem. There are other good options such as Coinbase and Exodus( which is a multi-currency desktop wallet).
Blockchain.info or
Exodus
in my opinion
Exodus
in my opinion
The best online wallet now is Coinbase. I really believe in this trading platform. It does not have so many altcoins existing there, only the big altcoins and its systems work very well. Besides, the transaction fee is very cheap. I only use Coinbase and do not want to create another account on another trading platform.
https://www.blockchain.com/ is may be the place I trust because it has the least problems.
If you store on the exchange, the problem can always happen anytime.

I think that the best online wallet is coinbase.Coinbase is one of the easiest ways to buy, sell and hold cryptocurrencies, which earns it the first spot on this list. With Coinbase, you can connect to a U.S. bank account and easily transfer dollars in or out of your dollar wallet. You can use those dollars, or transfer in new ones, to buy and sell. In addition to Bitcoin, Coinbase currently supports Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum and Litecoin. There are constant rumors of additional currencies like Ripple getting support from Coinbase as well.
mtgox wallet has the problem that you are unable to play satoshidice like games
Thats not a problem but a benefit!no its a huge problem
if you only look at satoshidice its ok (as long as you expect ANY new user to be careful enough to not try)
but i think its a very good feature of bitcoin to see the addresses money came from. so you have a chance to send funds back.
with an mtgox wallet this is not possible. if you send back the money mtgox itself gets it (afaik: could also be that you send the funds to a random mtgox user)
It is very easy to do fractional reserve banking when your own money is slushed about with all other money.
where and who's doing it
I believe mtgox does it. This is totally just my gut feeling based on events that have occured in the past.
uhh gox making up funds from nowhere and trading on their site? thats theft
Another +1 for blockchain.info
I know we shouldn't trust anyone, but as far as usability goes I think blockchain.info is the best out of any I've tried so far, nice features.
Just keep an offline wallet for the majority of your coin and you'll be good.

Yup, just feed Blockchain with the coins you may need to spend soon.
BTW, I think Blockchain's the best of what I've seen.
I prefer blockchain.info and suggest it to the CoinURL users who are not aware about Bitcoin.

I like how the custom send menu has an option to send the return change to the same address you sent from. This lets me activate a paper wallet and still have it remain a valid backup of my key.
...encrypted and saved away
As long as you have your private key saved away safe and sound you're all good, am I correct?
how to use private key to get wallet coins when you dont have the wallet file?
I think this thread is getting to be like one of those IRC conversation where people see answers to other people's questions and get confused thinking those answers were to their own questions.
Blockchain.info, can use yubikey. If you lose the yubikey Blockchain.info can remove that restriction after you verify that you are truly the account owner (not sure how,... same IP as last, and sent to same e-mail address maybe?)
As far as blockchain.info backup, that can be sent to your e-mail or to your dropbox each time it changes. It is encrypted,. You can use that backup to spend your funds, but it isn't necessarily convenient. Multibit will import a wallet backup from Blockchain.info I believe. That backup does not require Yubikey, regardless if you had OTP/Yubikey protection enabled for login.
[I'm pretty sure on all this, not 100%]
ok i dont uderstand OTP, private public keys, yubikey, do u know all that?
I've done all of those things with Blockchain.info. I use my Yubikey there as well (a standard Yubikey from Yubico, not an MtGox Yubikey). It works great.

just use mtgox. its the trendy thing to do
Hehe
I say Blockchain.info instead. You actually have control over your money. Not to shoot down your idea Jermainé, but I'm shooting down your idea
