How about just the results from Bitcointalk.org. Oh 5 pages from Bitcointalk.org. Nice. I see why you'd want to use the worst wallet in the history of Bitcoin.

Come on man. Get your head out of your ass. There's FUD and then there's common sense. Are you one of their paid shills?

*Everything is fine fellers, just keep putting your money in Blockchain.info... What's the worse that could happen*

Aaaand it's gone.


Rebuttal?

don't spread FUD about something you don't understand. do some research about blockchain.info and how they are handling things and how they are storing the wallet file on their servers, then also go on github and check out their source code to double check things and then say they have you private keys (they don't)

i am not saying using blockhain.info wallet is safe or wise for a lot of other reasons but what you are saying (bold part) is just FUD spam.

Lol. Maybe they only steal coins from people that can speak English I guess. Do you give your cash to the guy on the corner and ask him to hold it or would you put it in a bank? One you have control of and the other you don't.

Terrible logic btw.

Omg guys! I didn't just die when I got electrocuted, so according to that logic I must be invincible!

If then, why I never lose my coins? I have use blockchain.info wallet for a year and it is not "crappy" as I can use it my Bitcoin wallet.

It we Switch to new blockchain wallet, the old money in wallet will be lost ?

If you use blockchain.info please use 2FA and the second password option, it will be asked when you send payments.

The same as usual registration like how you did to bitcointalk.org

Just go to blockchain.info > wallet > create my free wallet

Its easy and completely free.
You need to download Bitcoin wallet of your choice
and you already have address. You can create a new address
with one click

The question OP asked is practically answered. This thread should be locked now because it doesn't need any further interaction unless OP has more questions to be asked, but I think it would be a more helpful to new-comers as it is in the Beginners & Help section.

As the other say, You can create bitcoin address without any cost (Absolute Free)
I prefer if you choose right Web BTC Wallet, Kindly check here if you're interested

Coinbase.Com
BlockChain.Info
Xapo.Com
Or if you're from PH you can try this Coins.PH

I hope you will find Good BitCoin Service

creating bitcoin address is absolutely free , you can try different sites that offers you free bitcoin address,
you can choose below
blockchain.info
coinbase.com
xapo.com
choose 1 of them that suits you.

Step 6. Cry when you lose all your coins from this crappy online wallet. Don't use blockchain.info. When you set up an email address do you have access to the password? Pretty obvious answer is yes. Well with blockchain.info, THEY have access to your private key (aka: your 'password' for lack of a better term). But they use a simple algorithm that's (apparently) easy to crack and you lose everything. Just Google it. Don't take my word for it.

If you are creating a bitcoin wallet its free bro, Ask in helping section or read in newbie threads

if you want to buy and have the wallet at the same time i think the best option for a newbie is a web wallet like coinbase, although you should check out their terms of services first then do it because you might find some of their rules not so compatible with your uses.

then after that move to another wallet with better option.

i think the best option for you to go is reading here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=39.0 ,asking is allowed but with reading you'll get your answer without asking

No. Creating a Bitcoin address is free and, AFAIK, there is no cost for having one.
You can take a look at this page on how to create Bitcoin address.

A lot of people seem to be suggesting online wallets (blockchain.info, coinbase).
Granted, these wallets are very appealing for a new user because the learning curve is small, they're accessible on every place where you can have access to the internet and they might have neat features like paying your fee...

However, OP, be carefull: if you read this forum, you'll see a lot of horror stories with these online wallets... They go bankrupt, your funds gets stolen, they lock your account,... This is the price for a smaller learning curve, easy access and reduced fees. Don't be alarmed tough: most users are satisfied with these online wallets, most people don't have any issues with them... But the ones that have issues with online wallets are often left hanging (you need thirth party support to solve your problems for you)

If you want to learn how to use bitcoin in a proper way, i'd suggest starting with a desktop wallet. Bitcoin core is the standard one, but it might take a really long time to sync (it basically needs to download and verify all the blocks which contain every transaction ever made with bitcoin). A good newbie alternative are SPV clients like electrum or multibit HD. I'm a big fan of electrum, it's pretty newbie friendly, but still has a lot of coin controll features once you learn a thing or two about bitcoin...

Just my 2 satoshi's on the subject  

As a beginner I would suggest an online web wallet like coinbase, they also have the app for mobile phones so you can transfer any bitcoin on the go, the bad thing about coinbase is that if their servers are down you can't use your funds, also they do not provide private key but as a beginner if i were you I would go there, and also they pay the transaction fees for you.

You can get the address directly from your smartphone and blockchain wallet https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=piuk.blockchain.android
Do not forget to save or write ID and passwords. Set pair.

If you want to create wallet come here in Blockchain.info this is the free and the safest i know.
Just click the "wallet" and "create a new wallet" you just need a valid email and Long password. And if you are done you have your bitcoin address .
