Many people say that online wallets aren't trustful and that it's easy to steal your BTCs from there. No safe and guarantees.

I would like to know if you already had any problems with this kind of wallet, specially, Blockchain.info. Were you hacked or anything like that?

I have heard many cases which bitcoin have been stolen by hackers and most of the people say that bitcoin online wallet is not secure enough and it is not reliable enough to use it. Currently, I am using three different online bitcoin wallets and I still do not have any problem of being stolen bitcoin. However, I think I will change my wallet into a PC wallet as soon as I can to avoid any hackers stealing my money

So far so good I should say. I have never lost my Bitcoins but I don't keep large amounts in online wallet and I try to be as much careful as I can. Making back up is one of security measures, using 2F and regulary changing password. This can make you safer.

i have never lost any bitcoin ever apart from some in gambling, and i have wallets on blockchain.info, Xapo, on exchanges, on Electrum on my desktop, and cold storage. it is mainly how safe your activities online are, if you have a good anti virus or better yet if you are on linux OS.

but this doesn't mean the risk is not there, any of the wallets apart from the cold storage is at risk as long as they are connected to internet or are controlled by a third party.

One time I failed to save a backup of my online wallet specifically a blockchain wallet and I accidentally reset my phone and so I also forgot the password. I still have atleast 0.02 btc on that wallet that I fail to recover. Blockchain not issuing a support for password loss is the one I really dislilke so I am using a different wallet provider now.

I haven't lost btc on online wallet. I'm using only Coinbase and Xapo online wallets. I'm using strong passwords on it, never used it through public Wi-fi network, also using 2FA to login.
Desktop wallets for me isn't looks more trustful, because I can easily catch virus, which can steal coins from wallet.

As far as my all bitcoin experience is concern, I never such have an experience of losing coins at any web wallets I used. But on exchanges I don't know if I will it consider it as a lose about the token conversion of my bitcoin in recent bitfinex hack.

Blockchain.info already experienced lots of problems in the past but most of them are not associated with the stolen coins issue.

Hmm, I looked some desktop wallets, some of them are very heavy (65GB), my laptop doesn't have enough capacity to download it.

Maybe I will use electrum, but I use some faucet services, things like that, and I need to open pop-ups often. I think the pop-up can allow a malware to enter on my laptop, no?
So, I don't know if the desktop wallet would really help me.

agustina, which kind of problems blockchain.info had? I thought they were a trusted company.

There are chances of fraud in every web wallets since we don't have authority and full control of our own coins. But no doubt that their services gives us convenient when dealing in bitcoin transactions in most of the cases. Other than that, they offering some good deals when we use their service like paying our transaction fees, referral rewards, cashback deposit (like here in our local exchange) and many more.

So for a wise thing to do, use their services only when needed and not for storage reason purposes.

But if we store our BTCs on desktop wallet, the risk continues, no? A hacker can invade our computer and steal the BTCs.

I think would be good if we could have more guarantees of safe. Who has big amounts of stored Bitcoins fear all the time be hacked.

I was hacked in late 2013 beginning 2014 in blockchain. Maybe it was my fault maybe not but the end result was I was hacked. I moved to desktop wallets from there and was fine with them until I reached a certain amount of bitcoins more specifically I reached 1.75 btc. It was right in this moment that I started to become paranoiac because of what happened me with blockchain and I kept thinking I will lose my coins just like it happened with blockchain.

So I took the final step and bought a really cheap hardware wallet but which works great, the Ledger HW.1 hardware wallet. Now I have stored there more than 3.55 btc and I sleep well at night. In my opinion this is the safest way to store your coins. I was burned once with blockchain so I am not making the same mistake again.

The hacker should target you specifically to hack you In that case. So It's pretty much easy to protect yourself as long as you have an anti malware , anti virus and you don't download random executable files and definitely not brag about how much Bitcoins/Altcoins do you have in your wallet.

I don't have any problem with blockhain.info but there was DNS attack 2 Weeks ago if iam not wrong and the site was offline about few hours, i'am just worried about my balance out there, i can't access my money thanks god it's working now but it makes me scared what if the site is offline or dissapeared or maybe the site is hacked.

While other wallet i have problem with xapo, my account was locked but that's not a big deal since there was only little amount out there so that i don't need to recover it.

I used blockhain info only for storing spendable amount and hard wallet for storing huge amount.

I never lost anything on both blocktrail and blockchain.info but that doesn't mean they are safe. Here is the thing , with online wallets and exchanges , everyone targets them because It contains a lot of users while when you use Desktop wallet , only a few people (If not one only) targets you as a specific target because he knows that you own a lot of money so that's pretty much what makes desktop or other wallets safer then the online ones.

i have never personally experience any problems with online wallets, thankfully. but there are a lot of problems going around the most common one is phishing attacks, keyloggers, hacks because of weak password.

and also the worst thing that i can remember about blockchain.info was their mobile wallet where it used random.org to create a random number and lead to a big loss for many users. i think they paid those users though!
