The only safe web wallet is https://blockchain.info/
I am also willing to trust my money with exchanges coinbase and btc-e
but everything is inferior to having control of your own private keys and putting your coins in offline cold storage.

I can say blockchain is the best one I've ever been used over a year and their work are amazing & simple.
At the first I know bitcoin, my friend recommend this online wallet and I've prove it's awesomeness

as a general rule, any online wallet is not safe because there is always danger of hack, malware,... that all leads to losing money. but this doesn't mean they are all unsafe and should never be used.

I prefer blockchain.info anyways. it is a well known web-wallet and it has been around for so long and all the bugs are found and fixed. and it is important to know that they are saving your wallet on their servers "encrypted" with only you having the password.

and for online-desktop-wallet I use Electrum since I don't want to run a full node.

...
Hi,
I've also heard rumours about blockchain.info. Is it based on truth? I've also noticed they are sometimes under ddos attacks.
Thanks for the opinion and advice! Smiley

what rumors? they may be true or maybe false. say what they are so we can discuss it.


They keep raising after being attacked !
That's the fact !

I like Blockchain.info too, i'm using it since i started with BTCs. Is there any chance to have identifier account code stolen by hackers? Because they can have your password, but without identifier they can do nothing.

I would recommend bitgo, if you want full control over your money. Otherwise, try coinbase. As I never had any problems with that wallet and (for me) it's easy to use.

I prefer xapo. a very user friendly online wallet. and also very secured. xapo have great features like multi signatures btc addresses. when we use a btc address to receive money xapo automatically change the address and give us a fresh btc address but all old addresses still connected to the wallet.
I don't like Xapo precisely for that. There is too much work done behind closed curtains and I would rather be in control of everything than rely on walled to manage it addresses for me.
Also I heard that there were cases where Xapo wallet users were banned from it for using Xapo to fund btc to a casino.

I choose XAPO as my web wallet, because it look secure and no fee Smiley

There is a scam accusation against them currently here:  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/xapo-is-a-fraud-1311798 apparently they change the receiving address without informing the users, which means you might end up receiving coins to an address which is no longer attached to your wallet. (Not sure if it is legit or not)

Having been said that, it is always advised to stay away from web wallets as much as possible.

I would choose localbitcoins as I find it very convenient and easy to use, and I also need to transfer my btc to my bank account so for that localbitcoin is very handy as it transfers money to my bank account instantly.

Why would anyone want to hold their funds in an online wallet at first place knowing there are risks(can understand for small everyday spending)?
Anyway Mycelium so far its an Android wallet, you have it with you all the time, and if you are knowledgeable enough in using it and making a backup of the master seed, than this is one of the most secure online wallets so far for you to use.

Try TREZOR its a must for wallets with large amount of btc. Its secure and only requires a TREZOR device on you to send payments to clients. The next one is blockchain which i use it has 2 FA and is secure so would recommend it. No form of I.D is required to join, lastly its free to join.

To be honest, online wallets are not safe anymore, with the growing adoption of bitcoin.

I put 0.3 in my coinbase wallet for everyday purchases, and keep all my bitcoin besides that in my Ledger wallet. I may randomly pump and dump on an exchange with my coin, but that's rare.

https://moneypot.com is the most versatile wallet
Could you please explain the investment advantage of moneypot wallet from your own experience if you have any. It would be really great to have an online wallet which also provides an investment opportunity. I guess many bitcoiners here, are looking for some safe investment opportunity like me.

Wait, moneypot can be considered as online wallet ?
I thought they were just a group of gambling websites placed into one using their API Huh

Another vote for blockchain, but really having a local wallet is the better option.  I wouldn't trust long term storage on large amounts to any online wallet.
Agree, if you want to store a little bit amount of coins for everyday spending, then online wallet is your choice
though, i wouldn't recommend blockchain wallet for that matter Roll Eyes
Even though i use desktop wallet I gotta say Xapo has a great benefit for online wallet users out there Wink

MoneyPot is an online wallet, it also provides an API service to casinos

Why not blockchain?
I think they dont want to pay for the every transaction fee. because xapo has no fee or every transaction also coinbase has no fee in transaction unlike blockchain and electrum..
