That was a isolated fact... Don't judge all online wallets services by this situation happened on 2014. Everybody knows that it's 100% safe, but it's not so bad as you are saying. Any other kind of wallet for Bitcoins has risks also.

If it was so bad as you are saying, the number of users would be smaller and you won't be seeing a lot of positive feedbacks here.

You're kidding me right? Everyone knows it's 100% safe? So can you explain these?

It's 100% safe

Then you're as naive as the rest of these sheep on this thread. Time to do some reading little sheep.

I would like to say that it's not 100% safe, but I made a mistake and the "not" didn't appear.

I know these things happen, because it's not a fully safe world. But this is a useful service, people aren't stolen everytime, many people don't have powerful computers to download those wallets that you are saying to be the ideal. I'm not a sheep as you are saying, I know about the risks, but that is what I can use at this moment. If I download any wallet the risk will continue.

Online wallets have a lower chance of being hacked than exchanges, though the possibility is still there.

i have this experience on poloniex and i think its because of my vault. i am forgot to activate 2FA and email verification to check the IP that i use when i login on that website. i already ask with their support system, they tell me that they can help to trace the wallet and the IP that login into my account but they can not do anything with my btc. fatal mistake that i am do in the past and i hope it wouldn't happen again in future.

I tried XAPO, Coinbase, Circle and Snapcard but didn't had any serious problems with all of them. Also have for XAPO a debit card to exchange some bitcoins in cash. I heard stories from people that there account get frozen but didn't face such problems till now.

I know that Coinbase blocked people in the past because they sended or received funds from a gambling website. Since I like to gamble I decided to not use there wallet anymore.

For bigger amounts I prefer to use a wallet where I own the private keys like electrum

Wow. I read all of the comments. Wow. People are really this naive? A Legendary member saying he's never heard of a hack from Blockchain.info?

I may be fairly new to this forum but holy crap are you kidding me people?! Blockchain.info had tons of funds stolen when someone found out their method of creating private keys. In layman's terms basically what they did is take something like 74937473983 and create a private key from it. The next was 74937473984, then 74937473985 etc. (Obviously not that simple, but you get the gist of it).

No they weren't hacked you're right. They made it so blatantly obvious how to get everyone's private keys that they didn't need to be hacked in the traditional sense.

You didn't hear about this? Really? No one? Then maybe trying googling it. Wow! I'm seriously blown away by the terrible advice people give to newcomers. Shame on you.

Don't use a web wallet. Why? It is the most vulnerable type of wallet there is. It's just a fact.

I have never lose some of my btc's in my online walet provider, it seems that they are trusted to I don't have problem with them.

I think those incidents that wallet providers turned to be scams are just hoax and it is pertaining to those exchange sites that tells they were hacked.

About Blockchain.info - I never heard anything bad about this wallet. There wasn't any known hack documented, ever.

Exactly, this is what I am using and I guess this is the most trusted online wallet.

Your bitcoins would surely safe on webwallets if you do keep your password and make sure to put up 2fa in your account. It would surely protect from hackers and scammers out there who will stole your bitcoins but the risk on losing it when exchange have problems still remains.

Many people say that online wallets aren't trustful and that it's easy to steal your BTCs from there. No safe and guarantees.

I would like to know if you already had any problems with this kind of wallet, specially, Blockchain.info. Were you hacked or anything like that?

You need to distinguish some things first:

1. Are you worried about security of the wallet itself? Do you think that it is easy for hackers to break and transfer peopole's BTC from online wallet?
2. Or are you worried that actual wallet owners can rob you and get away with bitcoins?
3. Lastly, your account can be hacked individually.

About Blockchain.info - I never heard anything bad about this wallet. There wasn't any known hack documented, ever.
Also they won't close or suspend your account because you send money to gambling service or something ridiculous like their competition.
With blockchain the weakest link is owner - only if hacker will know your password and wallet id they can steal your coins.
I feel that with 2FA enabled it is almost impossible though.

No I never lost any bitcoins but this is also because I do not have a lot of bitcoins and I keep them only in a couple wallets that I manage very well.
I keep them in my eye sight and they are also good protected, I cannot simply lose them also.

I do have experience loss of my bitcoin on some local bitcoin wallet but on small amounts only and they gradually get bitcoin by small amounts on different timeframes especially when you have lots of balance on your wallet . they are assuming that you didnt notice it but they are wrong , i did notice that anytime regarding on my balance but in blockchain.info , i didnt encounter such thing.

You might lose your Bitcoin if you did not set the necessary security features, hackers will use the social engineering to determine your password if they got you e-mail, those hackers are anywhere, therefore I use unique and dedicated e-mail and password, and I do not use this e-mail in any other site, as well as setting 2FA.

I have never lost any wallet with btc so far. Web wallets are totally OK for small amounts and when you have a backup or a you export your private keys. The only btc I lost was in Bitfinex hack and i do regret keeping funds in an exchange for long time

Good thing that my exchange site is still not failing me. And I am not even losing any amount with my bitcoin wallet.

Since I am letting my bitcoins grow to their site still I am believing that they will have good security if there is a breached happened.

I will just ask them for a refund, if possible.

I have had countless numbers of transactions using online wallet but never had any issues so far. I am using blockchain and xapo. I have back up of private keys for blockchain wallet and with Xapo I keep only very little bitcoins at a time. So, I believe I will be safe in an unexpected events too.

Haven't had any issues with online wallets so far. Nothing stolen, nothing unusual either. And no problems of any kind experienced from blockhain, coinbase, or xapo.
Probably because I only store small amounts there, or because it's usually just passing through or something.
Anyway, doesn't mean there won't be any problem in future, so it's still best to take precautions. Always.

Well so far I am not experiencing that someone stole my bitcoins to my bitcoin wallet. I think they are really safe their security is tight and you are just possibly to lost your bitcoins if you are going to give your key and password to someone. But with blockchain for me, this is the strongest bitcoin wallet ever, I'm using it for a long time already.

those people who didn't yet used the e-wallet are not giving the positive feedback .
if we expose our identity like user name and mobile no. then anyone can make easy net to scam us .
but steal there is no risk in wallet until we don't share our password .
and i didn't found any friends or any person whose wallet is hacked or scammed by someone .
so these are safe and trusted
