One silly question, if I want to check my balance/ transfer from my phone?
Do I need to remember my Identifier(which is hard to remember)?
to check your bitcoin balance you only need your bitcoin address, and you can check it on any online block explorer. but in order to spend your coins you have to log in your bc.i account so you have to use the identifier.One silly question, if I want to check my balance/ transfer from my phone?
Do I need to remember my Identifier(which is hard to remember)?
Thanks for the clarify,
but still either bitcoin address / identifier need to be remember,
which is a hard task for me,
can bitcoin address / identifier turn into sth like username
You can set alias in settings. For example, if you set "h4hor" as alias, then you can access your wallet by going to https://blockchain.info/wallet/h4hor. Don't use an alias which can be guessed easily because others will be able to steal your coins if they somehow got your password too.
Another way is to convert the identifier to poetry using https://brainwallet.org/#converter or any other tool[1]. Then memorize that poetry. The best method to memorize is to picture it -- http://www.memory-improvement-tips.com/memory-association.html. After you memorize it, you can convert poetry back to Rot13 to get the identifier whenever you want[2].
[1] You first need to select Rot13 in 'Source Encoding' and 'Poetry' in 'Convert to' to convert identifier to poetry. (Brainwallet.org)
[2] To convert poetry back to identifier, select 'Poetry' in 'Source Encoding' and 'Rot13' in 'Convert to'. (Brainwallet.org)

I am using Coinbase for long it's very user friendly.
you don't have access to your private keys which means if Coinbase goes offline your funds are gone with it forever too. 
In these days im using mycelium as my bitcoin wallet, and Coinbase and bit-x for my daily transection. Im also using blockchain to store my half of btc in it. because its also more secure but not more than mycelium

litecoinguy, in another thread, posted a picture of the (presumably) soon to be released digitalbitbox. It resembles the Ledger Nano in that it uses a smart chip. It will NOT include firmware updates by design, so probably making it easier to use (and to control).
digitalbitbox.com is a Swiss company. The website is worth a look. The device looks like it will be just right for BTC users like me.
(I am happy with my Ledger and my Trezor, but BOTH are asking to have their firmware updated...)

Base on my experience Multibit bitcoin wallet is safe and secure. I've been using it on for a couple of months now without any problem.
What butcoin wallet do you use? I mean blockchain, xapo or whatever. Why? Which one is the best?
for pocket money: I moved from blockchain.info to ninki (really like the security)
for savings: electrum
edit: don't keep coins in exchanges.
I use blockchain and electrum.
And exchanges too, to store coins and money

What butcoin wallet do you use? I mean blockchain, xapo or whatever. Why? Which one is the best?
I use Blockchain and coinbase both.
Both of them are pretty much the same, but I'm biased towards blockchain because it's very easy to add a tag to a newly generated bitcoin address,
Helps me keep track of which address belongs where, but well
that's just me
In terms of safety, both are well established and you shouldn't be having a problem with either.
Cheers
What about cold-wallets? I suppose it is the most secure way to store the bitcoins. Only gets online when needed to and other than that time, it remains 100% secure. I believe bitcoiners should move ahead in the direction of cold-wallets for securing their coins.

i have tried using bit-x , xapo , mycelium and some others out of which i find bit-x bitoin wallet the best. it has a simple design and material which helps beginners to use it with an ease.
As far as I know, Bit-X is an exchanger. Is there wallet feature on Bit-X?it has a good interface and design too.
You means this?: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.bitx.android.wallet&hl=en It's official wallet form Bit-X? seems like BitX for me
I found this: http://bitcoinmalaysia.com/2014/05/11/secure-bitcoin-wallet-in-malaysia-bitx-malaysia/
~iki
google that phrase; "site:bit-x.com" android.
You'll find only 1 result and it's not related with that android wallet. If it's a real wallet then they (bit-x) should announce it publicly on their website.
Till then; it's a phishing attempt.

Is Multibit Safe like Official Wallet?
It is not as safe as official wallet since it lacks various security features but is safe enough for average joe. The potential security risk is that multibit trust the majority of the network miners to enforce the network rule. Bitcoin core is not dependent on that. The benefit of multibit is that not much space is required as it only downloads the headers and it doesn't require a lot of bandwidth. (If its a concern). 
The bitcoin wallet in playstore doesn't have signature feature. Anyone can recommend a good one?
online wallet or local? also mobile i guess right? the best one is called "bitcoin wallet" it could make confusion, but it resemble core in every aspect, it work with android only if i'm n ot mistaken, it was at the first spot in the top 5

i use blockchain.info for online wallet, but most of my coins are in a cold electrum wallet.
i dont even have enough bitcoins to justify cold storage.
working on it, trying to trade my way to a bigger stash. Honestly it does not have to be a huge amount to try it. Even with small amount's it's good to test out cold storage. Usb and paper wallets are pretty solid way's of storing your coin in cold storage.
And testing where you don't lose a ton if something goes wrong, is really a pretty smart idea.

I wanted to mix a small amount of BTC that I had in my blockchain.info wallet recently, using just their "SharedCoin" service. Unfortunately, for about 24 hours, SharedCoin did not work. The process would start, then freeze.
Note that I did not lose anything! I guess that THAT SharedCoin transaction was a "null event".
SharedCoin did start working OK yesterday, I was able to mix that small amount.
In the past, I did have two problems regarding something that went wrong, but after working with blockchain.info, everything was resolved fine.
* * *
But, at this point, if I had to use JUST ONE mixing service that works better for me, I would choose bitmixer.io. Fewer problems, and they have ALWAYS been online when I used their service. bitmixer.io also works with all three wallet types I have.
* * *
blockchain.info's wallets, other than the spotty SharedCoin service is pretty good. Use the "second password" feature for better security. But, for large amounts of BTC (say over 2 BTC), I would put them in a Trezor or Ledger.

What butcoin wallet do you use? I mean blockchain, xapo or whatever. Why? Which one is the best?
Use bitcoin core. Remember to open the correct ports to help contribute to the network by relaying transactions. Also, make sure to encrypt your wallet.
Definitely make sure to encrypt. Not all cases is core best. Some might look into lightweight clients or other options.
Sure having nodes does help bitcoin, and is a good idea. But if you have limited internet amount, or some other limitations a lightweight might be better option.

I use blockchain.info wallet as my hot wallet and Trezor as the cold wallet.
Diversify your portfolio of bitcoin storage options. I'd keep some in an online account like coinbase. For some others I'd use some wallets. The classic qt wallet is good. You can also use electrum wallet and be sure to do 2FA. Cold storage is good too just remember it's not terribly convenient when you want to exchange for goods/services immediately.
Just be practical about it. Consider what you plan to do with the bitcoin and allocate funds that makes the most liquid sense.

I have realized that if I use to many wallets, I tend to lose track and also its a pain to keep a high level of security / backup for all the wallets.
I suggest a 2 pronged strategy especially for beginners.
1) Keep majority of your bitcoins in a cold wallet. There are lots of options out there and lot of posts in this thread re. this.
2) Keep a few which you'd want to spend easily in a hot wallet. Again for this, you can use CoinBase, Blockchain.info, BitX or Zebpay (Disclaimer: I am co-founder of Zebpay). We believe that Zebpay is the easiest to use as it is a hosted wallet and works like Whatsapp and you don't have to worry about wallet backups. It allows both on blockchain and off blockchain transactions.

a bitcoin wallet has become a must for me. not only me, but i has become a must for everybody who use bitcoins.
personally i use bit-x bitcoin wallet which serves the best to me.
i recommend users to use mycelium or blockchain wallet since they give a simpler platform to use which turns out to be more comfortable.

Re earlier blockchain.info wallets comments from notlist3d, activebiz and Muhammed Zakir and people interested in blockchain.info wallets
Yes, I had a problem with a blockchain.info wallet "somehow" taking all my BTC, perhaps a year ago. I got it back after emailing them and following their instructions. I do not recall the nature of the problem, it might have been a programming error on their part, but I did get my BTC back.
So, I keep a small amount at blockchain.info, but the bulk of my BTC I keep in my Ledger Nano and Trezor devices.

I've been using blockchain for over a year, its the best fastest and recommended online wallet
They have a lot of money behind them at this point. They are able to make a good product.
They work well as a hot wallet. Still want to keep majority in cold.

I personally use Bitcoin Core and would also recommend, as I feel it to be the most secure on-Desktop wallet till date.
If you are much concerned about security, try paper wallets.

I only use bitcoin wallet for android and blockchain. They're great and very user-friendly.
Look into cold and hot wallets. Cold you will want to keep most of your money in. There are nice hardware that does it or some as simple as a paper wallet. Most important thing is they are not always connected to internet.
Hot wallet you will want to use for spending. The amount should change based on how much you need to spend normally. The goal is to keep from needing to plug in cold wallet a lot.

I agree, you should keep your bitcoins in 2 types of wallets. Cold for your majority bitcoins. For beginners, hardware wallets like Trezor make more sense for this purpose.
For hot wallet, I suggest Zebpay Android or iPhone app. Disclaimer: I am a co-founder. Zebpay is a hot wallet targeted at regular people. It works like Whatsapp. Your bitcoins are linked with your mobile number. We are regularly adding more ways to spend your bitcoins.
I use blockchain, coinbase and electrum it's very to use and secured.

As several users have pointed out, online wallets are nearly always a BAD idea.
What if they change the code or make a buggy commit like they did earlier? This certainly enable others to access Bitcoins of Blockchain.info users.

Download bitcoin core and by doing so you can help contribute to the bitcoin network by relaying transactions.
you will not help the network unless you specifically open port 8333.Though what you said is right, helping network isn't necessary.

Otherwise, electrum is also very good. Don't forget to encrypt your wallet and make sure the computer you use is secure and free of malware.
encrypting your wallet does nothing other than protecting it from physical access from a malicious party.If your computer have keyloggers, encrypting won't help. The password will be stolen by keylogger when you decrypt wallet.

uhh so paper of long-term and electrum for daily ops.) reg. online wallets, just use them for small amounts, for something higher then 5BTC use offline one..better safe then sorry
My husband said is hard to get bitcoin core. I am so sad
It's not "hard" to get it, but you need to download the 40GB blockchain.I use blockchain.info for my wallet because I can access it anywhere. Its great.
also if you have small amount of bitcoin, try an online wallet like blockchain.info

If you want investing in bitcoin and store it for long timw, you can use cold storage and / or paper wallet, it will be safer than online wallet.

I'm using coinbase as my main wallet. Then multibit, xapo, blockchain and bitcoin core(not synchronized yet 
waiting for more than 1 month 
). I recommend bitcoin core.

Look into cold and hot wallets. Cold you will want to keep most of your money in. There are nice hardware that does it or some as simple as a paper wallet. Most important thing is they are not always connected to internet.
Hot wallet you will want to use for spending. The amount should change based on how much you need to spend normally. The goal is to keep from needing to plug in cold wallet a lot.

I recommend you Electrum and Multibit for computer and blockchain.info for online and mobile wallet
tHANK YOU TO EVERYBODY! SORRY FOR BUTCOIN! YOU GAVE ME REALLY VALUABLE ADVICES! i NEVER THOUGHT THAT BITCOINTALK IS SO COOL!
...
I use four, depending on my needs:
1) Trezor for long term cold storage
2) Ledger Nano for long term cold storage
3) blockchain.info for spending (and receiving convenience, and, like mentioned above, worldwide access)
4) BTC app for my cellphone
The bulk of my BTC are safe in the Trezor and Ledger. I like them both, I will use each a few more times and see which is "better".

People are documenting their choices over a year now.
I recommend Electrum. Easy to use, simply to backup and restore from seed. No blockchain download needed. I am also using blockchain.info wallet to store small amounts.
My husband said is hard to get bitcoin core. I am so sad
It's not "hard" to get it, but you need to download the 40GB blockchain.I use blockchain.info for my wallet because I can access it anywhere. Its great.

Multibit HD is the wallet I use with my Trezor, it runs well and i never have any issues with it, it isn't a full node though so it just partially syncs.

butcoin?
Blockchain? Xapo?
Whatever?
If we are talking about wallets -> I don't recommend any online wallets. Xapo, or whatever. Also Xapo is not recommended by many BCTalk members.
There are different types of wallets which will suits best for you.
I recommend ( I like )..
For everyday use: "Mycelium Bitcoin Wallet" for Android device or "Bitcoin Wallet" for Android device.
Desktop wallets: Bitcoin Core: 0.10.1 (mind large size of data folder)
What are your needs? If you want to store coins for a longer term and keep them save, there are better solutions.
Regards.
