only use blockchain, because of the problem in coinbase that what you said, sometimes i do gambling and they cam freeze your account because of it , afraid if my account got freezed, i never use coinbase

I never know that coinbase will block our account if we do gambling.Never use coinbase before.Ya same like you,i only use blockchain until now.But i am not putting all my bitcoin at blockchain because even the secure of blockcchain is tight and high,the risk for losing your btc is still there.

Hackers please hack me .... if you can :)

I don't have any because it's been almost 3 years now (2.6 years to be exact) that I don't use them.

Yet I hear a lot of stories of blockchain.info wallets getting hacked, coinbase and xapo accounts getting banned or closed without real reasons behind them and lot of this sh it happening with web online wallets.

I think you get the picture now why they are to be avoided or at least to be left with very minimal amount of bitcoin.

Blockchain is like secondary/auxiliary wallet for pretty much everyone.

That must right point as blockchain.info allows me to extract my privatekeys I will be having all the functionalities for my same bitcoin address wherever I want by importing my privatekeys. Portable privatekey functionality of blockchain.info make it as a most flexible services with comparatively less restrictions yet serving all the purpose of web wallets.

Even if your account gets closed by coinbase, you can still withdraw your funds from it for the last time and then you won't be able to login again or use that address ever after.
The problem with blockchain is that even if you are the owner of the keys, still you cannot sign a message. Earlier version of blockchain had this feature afaik.

If signing message really was something people use frequently I think blockchain.info would keep this feature.
From my experience I doubt that more than 0.01 % of blockchain's user base ever signed a message.

Plus, Blockchain is like secondary/auxiliary wallet for pretty much everyone.

I have a problem with my xapo wallet. It doesn't load with slow connections anymore (it used to load fast earlier even with my slow internet connection) nor does its app send me a verification code for login purposes. Coinbase works well but sometimes due to blockchain delays, the transactions do not even appear on the network which sometimes is a concern for me while trading.

I have tried to opening account on coinbase, unfortunately this service is not support my country and not all of countries be supported by coinbase, should coinbase try to give chance for other countries and it will make their service become more growing, it is my big problem when use coinbase and i don't like it.

You won't change Coinbase, but you can choose a better wallet for yourself. Coinbase should only be used to purchase coins, not to store them.
And it is not like you have no choice and must use Coinbase or something. If you insist on using online wallet the only serious choice is blockchain.info.
I never heard of any case where blockchain.info closed/suspended/froze account of anyone for using Bitcoins for gambling or any similar activity.

I was heard it months ago that its one of the problem of coinbase user to those who use coinbase wallet address in receiving bitcoin from any gambling site. I used this service months ago but I leave it when I heard so many complaints about closing there accounts.from coinbase and now I'm currently using mycelium and coins.ph but I never faced any problem with it.

I'm using blockchain.info to deal with low ammounts because it's not recommended to use with a lot of money... I saw the website offline maybe 2 or 3 times but they come back fast. I have nothing to complain about. And I never used coinbase and will never use after reading this thread.

Yep, sending and receiving funds from gambling sites is strictly against coinbase TOS. This would quickly cause your account to be frozen.

If you're so fixed on using web wallets then, As others have suggested, blockchain.info does not restrict sending and receiving from casino sites.But they do have fees.

If you are, however, looking for one that does not have fees like coinbase, xapo is another option. AFAIK, they also do not restrict use with casino sites. They pay for the fees, same as coinbase.
But, they usually require verification and also, do read their TOS since they're pretty well known for freezing accounts.

If you don't want to go through all these, there are the better options like desktop wallets or mycelium for mobile. You have complete control of your keys. You do pay your own transaction fees of course.

Blockchain.info is down at times, and their new interface is pretty bad. I've switched to Electrum now because of it, so yes I have problems with my online wallet. If you want to use coinbase and gamble, use Coinbase -> Blockchain.info address -> Gambling site.

It is not a function, it is just their policy. When you are not comfortable with a service, all the options you will be having must be simply quitting them. Instead of getting locked with your funds, quitting well in advance would be bit wiser.

That's the same as coins.ph. They also have a policy that they can block your account if the funds came from a gambling site. It's really inconvenient because you should be able to use your money no matter how you want it. Anyway, you can always put your money in blockchain first and then transfer it into your coinbase wallet so the sender address wouldn't be the gambling site's.

it is not a random function that you can add or remove as you please! when you run a business or a service in a country you have to still follow the laws of that country and since coinbase is located in US they have to abide by law and the law there says you are not allowed to gamble online or something like that .

besides you shouldn't even be using coinbase as a "wallet" in the first place even if they let you gamble.

As you said, my coinbase account was banned and blocked because i withdraw few satoshis from gambling sites. I didn't knew that before. That were the newbie days. Now, I would recommend using only desktop wallets instead of some other third party wallets. Another problem with coinbase is that you are not the owner of your addresses' private key !
I would recommend desktop wallets like electrum, etc.

I am using blockchain.info wallet and I am not facing any peculiar problems with them yet. Even I will face any in future, I will simply export and import my private keys into another wallet types and hopefully I will not have any problems with my savings.

If you encounter any problem, like account hacked,etc , even having the private keys would not help as the funds would already had been transferred.
