Topic: Is Multibit a safe online wally? (Read 2507 times)
I am using multibit, it is easy to use and it is secured enough. But once you receive large amounts then backup your wallet and store it offline.
IF your computer is safe from hackers and malware, keygen then multibit is 100% safe.
Kinna wondering..beats the heck out of having to dl the bc again
Multibit is a desktop wally.
Multibit is not a online wallet. It is lightweight client specially created for newbies and those with slow internet connection. It synchronize with network very fast.

After many members recommendation now I am also going to use this Multibit because right now I am using blockchain.info and have 2 hack attempts
How do you know? Have you got 2 factor auth set up? I'd make sure you haven't got any keyloggers first and maybe boot from ubuntu.
Yeah. And change your 2 factor to your phone. If you've got a key logger or something its quite easy to get into your email. Do you have a second password on your blockchain?

Unequivocally yes
After all the COinbase/MTgox ect leaks, there are so many hacking and phishing attemps. It is so sick 
Cold storage is the way to go now IMO. Atleast for everything over 1 BTC!

Maybe he found some strange IPs in his wallet logging page?
I'd definitely set up 2 factor auth on your phone if that was the case.

Multibit isn't an online wallet in humble knowledge and I think it's security depend on how clean your computer is (and how secure). it's a great one IMO.

nothing is safe up to 100%.... your usb wallet can dissapear by itself (flash memory fading), your paper wallet can be destryoyed by oxygen in time, you can forgot password to your encryption etc. etc.
There are other wallets that don't download the blockchain like Electrum.
You could always get a online wallet like blockchain.info. That doesn't download the bc either.
Yeah but Online Wallets are not safe. You could always get a online wallet like blockchain.info. That doesn't download the bc either.
It's not an online wally 
and it's pretty secure, I use it because it's a light wallet, QT takes up around 10gb currently and I don't want that

Never had a problem with Multibit myself. Highly recommend it
How do you have an offline wallet if you only have 1 PC - probably totally missing something so excuse the noob!
There are 2 words that you are mixing up i think.
Offline wallet = Wallet that is not hosted on the internet.
Cold wallet = paper wallet or usb stick. Defined as a wallet that is hosted on a medium that is NOT connected to the internet.
You can have a offline wallet by downloading multibit or bitcoin QT
sure it is,
otherwise you can also use a different bitcoin wallet snawdog.
