yeah and i believe it is the first reason why there is a higher % of lost coins there, probably because the more ancient and offer the possibility to retrieve your private key as well as dumping a new one fairly easy

personally i don't use it i like core more

Will you stay with Core Amph or migrate to XBT? Just curious!

i don't know i want to see the future update about the MB limit, it seems all undecided yet, i didn't understand if chinese are ok with 8mb or not, Gavin proposal does not seem to have been accepted yet

I have Bitcoin Core amongst other wallets & a Trezor but I hope it's agreed to increase the block size. I don't want to see a split. I don't trust Hearn any way to be honest. I don't like a small number of people trying to hold so much power over bitcoin. I much prefer if we can stick with Core & just increase block sizes.

Yeah blockchain and coinbase are the most used web wallets, but I reccomend you to have offline wallet because it's safer than web wallets Grin

if you own bigger amounts of BTC, use cold storage or a hardware wallet:

@LFC_Bitcoin

i guess he will stay on satoshis path = bigger blocks = XT.
Satoshi never wanted 1 MB blocks. that was just a temporary thing.

at least i will do that.

Hi all,

Please i want to know if Blockchain.info and coinbase.com - are the most used web wallets ?

thank you .

Yes they are , mostly Blockchain.info because Coinbase is basically an exchange more then a wallet .
But .. IT's not recommended to use them at all because It's online and you have no control on your private keys , If one of those websites gets hacked, your bitcoin are screwed . you may wanna use something like Electrum , Multibit or Bitcoin Core .

All your funds on coinbase are insured.

I don't know if blockchain.info and coinbase.com are the most used web wallets but I know that me and to many others I know have both wallets. I use mostly coinbase because with it doesn't pay fee when I send bitcoins but I have another in blockchain too. Iknow even that coinbase is used by million of peoples (I don't remember the exact number but i know that are millions). Counting that bitcoin is not known to much these figures are the most significant figures that testify that both those wallets are the most used wallets for the bitcoin.

Blockchain.info is good because you can obtain your own private key. It is never released to their servers or offices/employees etc (supposedly). They have suffered a few problems but as long as you have 2FA, a complicated password & get your private key you should be safe.

Coinbase are insured against bitcoin theft so you should be safe again.

They're both by far the best & most used online bitcoin wallets.

Yeah Blockchain.info is the most used webwallet. i personally recommend it to store bitcoins that are needed for daily transactions .
For higher amounts go for dekstop wallet or cold storage as blockchain.info is online wallet, you have no control over private keys and if its gets hacked then you will loose all your hard earned coins .
