Well...

As this wallet is a temporarily storage and do not contains many bitcoins, I will keep it this way (accessible by Blockchain and ellectrum).

Anyways It helped me because I was having issues with blockchain. In Ellectrum my wallet works very well.

Thank you all.

Coinbase has never failed me and I believe they are the amongst the best if not the best online wallet service out there. I would recommend them except that I don't think you'll be able to import your private keys. If you gonna go with a local wallet then have look at Multibit.
Coinbase is indeed one of the best one Grin However it's not the safest way to store money online. Never trust any online wallet 100%.

Guys.

All working.

I just imported my private key in a installed electrum wallet.

Bow I have a last doubt...

What should I do with the blockchain wallet? That wallet stills working?
The wallet will still work, but you can just forget about it since all of the private keys are now in electrum.

Isn't there a way to erase my wallet from blockchain?

If my wallet stiils working into blockchain.info I'm not secure because my wallet is accessible from the internet yet...
I don't think there is any way to delete the blockchain.info wallet. You can enable all of the other security settings to make it really difficult for anyone to login though. That should help, but wallet deletion is not possible.
You can archive it and delete the wallet address. I can't find proof that they delete it on the server side but it should help from client side attacks.

This method should work, i've tried it several times when creating novelty addresses (importing keys, archiving, deleting)... But like you said, you never have a 100% guarantee that blockchain didn't keep a copy, nobody was snooping on your internet traffic and your pc was 100% clean when exporting the keys...

But it's the closest you can get to deleting a key from blockchain...

just send the fund to another local wallet for example, and close that account, or forget about the password, is the same thing that you have with a local wallet, where you can not remove an address

That wallet should still be working, but as you have now the electrum wallet don't bother to use blockchain anymore.

Anyway you can remember/save the details of the blockchain wallet just in case in the future but i believe that is not needed.

You can just withdraw your funds at any given time to your own wallet.
OP question is not like that. What if blockchain.info down??

He can't withdraw or send btc normally. He has to backup private keys then import into another wallet to be able transfer his btc.

Move On !!!!!!
Ok.


I will try to import my private keys into Electrum.

About the cold wallet, I do not need this level of security.

I do not use to store bitcoins. My wallets just work as a transition storage because I send all my coins to my faucet balance.

My profits come from Adsense ads.

After finishing this experience I will post the result here.

Thank you all.

Just make sure you download and install Windows installer version. If you download standalone version, you won't have an import key option.

This option will be available in installer version. After you setup and secure your wallet, everything else is a breeze.

You are doing a right thing with ditching the blockchain.info wallet.

I usually download multibit and install it. After that I import private key from selected address (from blockchain ) and put it into multibit
Wait until syncronization is done and you're ready to use it without feeling worried against blockchain anymore

Am I the only one seeing it as a advantage just to send it to new wallet?  I think having it under a btc address that did not have private key online as a good thing.  Yes transactions fee's do not sound fun.

But I think if wanting to move from it might as well get a more secure one to.  Even though blockchain is a great wallet for spending cash , just not long term storage of lots of coins.
Yeah I think that's a great idea although it gonna take some fees I think but it's worth and it's more secure than import

Try to sort a wallet file yourself, run a client on your computer. With offline 40 character passwords, no-one can get your bitcoin, sadlywith any third party, you just don't have that security.... People and companies can vanish or go bankrupt...
