Thanks for all the feedback, dose my computer need to be on 24/7 for a wallet to be installed on my system ?
No, not at all.
Turn it off as much as you want.

No.
Depending on what type of wallet you're using there might be more or less sync time, but when you reconnect, you'll catch up.
Unless you are a high profile user, or do some really stupid things with your computer, your personal wallet on your PC is probably safer than an online wallet.
Maybe. It's a different risk profile, really.
Depends on what you consider "high profile". Depends on where you live. Depends on where you keep your PC. Depends if your PC is encrypted, and if you keep it running all the time. Depends on a lot of things.
Storing 20 BTC on your laptop which you leave running on the Internet pretty much 24/7, probably isn't safer than storing it on Coinbase behind a memorized password (not saved on your PC) and 2-factor authentication.
Maybe 20 BTC is "high profile". It's not an unrealistic amount, though.
And if your computer is compromised ... an online wallet won't help you anyhow.
It might. Depends on how badly it's compromised, whether or not you have 2-factor authentication set up, etc.
I don't think any online wallets currently have some sort of "limit me to 1 BTC of withdrawals per day unless I give 48 hours advance notice", but that's something else that could be done to make online wallets even safer.
blockchain.info is probably going to be the next MtGox...
I have raised an issue with blockchain.info about the not confirming the transaction for all users in that payout.
I thought there would have been more on here asking about it.
Where would you suggest I store my BTC thats not on my local computer ?
Is there a way to store BTC on paper ?
Thanks

Bold statement. You just speculating or have some specific information?How so? With Blockchain.info, I have my private keys. They cannot run away with the money!
You have your private keys, but who else does as well?
Do you check the html/javascript every time you use the site?
I'm not saying they're doing anything nefarious, but what's to stop a rogue employee (or group of employees, or anyone capable of faking an SSL certificate) from modifying the javascript and stealing the private keys?

Are there still problems with NMC payouts? The last payout I received was on 2014-03-08. I have no received any NMC payouts since then. My Eligius options were good before and I went ahead and re-signed the signature for them but still nothing. Can anyone shed some light on what is going on?
I've been lurking on this thread and haven't seen any indication as to why I haven't received a payout yet. Sorry if I missed something.
Thanks,

I hate to sound like such a noob jackass and ask this way, but does anyone care to explain to me how I mine namecoins on Eligius? My host machine is Ubuntu 12.04 running CGMiner 4.0.0 and I have the bitcoin qt wallet 0.8.6.
Go to: http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/mystats.php, put in your mining wallet address and go to configurable options and enter your NMC wallet and sign the message and save...done!So all I need is a NMC address? No configuring anything on my side and nothing extra to run?
Thanks...

Have a blockchain.info wallet - never had a problem with Eligius payments before on my wallet and got one the other day. Ahhh blockchain.info grrrrr update
I suggest your work with blockchain.info. They are probably behind in processing transactions, but you might want to check with them to be sure.

So what happens now ? the BTC must be confirmed by blockchain.info before it hits my wallet - yet it said it had over 200 confirmations Ahhhh confused
