i use blockchain too...  Mainly because

1- I don't have enough bitcoins to store in cold storage...
2- I don't know how to store bitcoins in cold storage...

Also because it's fast and reliable

I use blockchain as my wallet to receive coins. They are not strict as to where coins came from, unlike others wallets where if they found out that coins comes from gambling sites or known ponzi sites, they will send you a notice through email that you need to transfer your coins to somewhere else.

I guess most of the people here are familiar with online wallet vulnerability , My question is How many of you Use http://Blockchain.info and why[1]?
Whats the maximum Bitcoins BTC , you dare to keep on these online wallets?
Why you use these online wallets?[1]

I do, because it's simple and very easy to use. When people try to learn how to use bitcoin, blockchain will be the first to being introduce as easy used online wallet.

I'm have more than BTC 1 but yes.. it's kindda scary if I save too much, I need safer wallet but I was too lazy to learn about offline wallet

I use blockchain as it's easier to send and receive bitcoins and the time taken for confirming a transaction is lesser compared to xapo. I prefer xapo only if I need to store over 0.4-0.5 BTC as it requires verification to access the wallet and for me xapo is more trustworthy than blockchain.

You can download private keys from blockchain.info but not from Xapo.

Yeah I know that. Coinbase as well doesn't give users a private key of their wallet. But with regards to security, Xapo is much better than Blockchain and even with regards to the fee (xapo doesn't charge any fee for a transaction).

Exactly that is why i prefer blockchain.info as my day to day use and it can also be used as cold storage.

I started off using it. I quickly realised that while they may be secure, but there've since been a fair few hiccups, the machinery I accessed it with never would be so I moved on.

im using it but not enjoying it much. sometimes it costs as much as 0.0005 btc for a single sending.

If you set the transaction type to Custom instead of Quick Send, you can enter a different fee.

I previously used Blockchain.info to store my coins. I used that site for 2+ years. That was the first website where i made my First Bitcoin Wallet Cheesy
But due to security issues i have now switched to Software Wallets Smiley
I use MultiBit HD right now Wink And I'm happy with Multibit Smiley

I stored 1.2BTC max in the blockchain.info wallet till date

i like using blockchain.info wallet because it is so easy to signup and i do not have to download 20 gigabyte to have my bitcoin wallet like bitcoincore

If you don't want to download the whole blockchain, then just use a wallet like Electrum; you won't have to download anything.

Those are the normal and recommended fees if you want to get your confirmation getting high priority and getting confirmed as soon as possible otherwise you risk to get unconfirmed transaction and it may end up coming back to you once again , Blockchain wallet don't take any fees for them selfs as far as I know .

When I started out Blockchain.info seemed like 'the' wallet to use so I used it as my main wallet.

There has however been many issues with them as well as security concerns. Whether these were valid or not I don't know but it has led to me considering other alternatives. During this time I've also learned more about the security aspects of bitcoin and this has essentially resulted in me ending up with my present setup which is a Trezor used together with Electrum and MyCelium.

With everything that has happened over the past couple of years it has become clear that online wallets are a risk, no matter what promises are made and or what security is being used.

I still use blockchain.info as a wallet since it is easy to use, fast and it has good security options. Compared to other online wallets it has better features added into it.
