Topic: Most Secure bitcoin wallet ? - page 4. (Read 36312 times)
But I prefer online wallets like blockcahin.info or coinbase. I will ease of use with them as I can access my bitcoin where ever I go. No set up head aches and securing private key dilemmas. I love online bitcoin wallets.
Bitcoin core is the most effective wallet if you considering security as well as ease of use.
Bitcoin Core does not qualify as a userfriendly wallet. It takes a long time for users to download and verify the entire blockchain if it's the first download or after several months. The bandwidth usage is also very high. SPV clients are slightly less secure as they trust the miners completely but takes seconds to setup.Even bitcoin core takes lots of bandwidth and synchronization time for set up it's the only wallet indiscriminately developed by bitcoin foundation. But it's not recommended to all type of users only for advanced users can use all the features of it.

For online web wallets i would prefer multi sig wallets (i think blocktrail has this feature) and for offline i would suggest Trezor(very expensive)
Actually block chain is having good feature to keep secure BTC in your wallet. it have two time authentication so wallet will safe for sure and u can use coinbase wallet also it also have good feature in it you can find in google play store itself
just stick with blockchain.info . it's fine and secure
BEST ADVICE PLUS ITS EASY TO USE
not really the best coz blockchain.info always having some kind of issues with their wallet specially when there is an attack ongoing in the network
blockchain.info with 2fa is a good option. Armory is known for high security as well.

armory is most definitely the best way to keep your bitcoins safe if you want a desktop wallet though hardware wallets are even safer

hi,Im new on this and I was wondering what is the most secure bitcoin wallet ? is it fine if I continue with blockchain.info ? nothing to fear from ? I won't lose my BTC or anything else ? thanks
I don't know if I stick with Web-based or go to Desktop applications
I would suggest you go for an offline desktop application like armory. Better security from hackers and you can hide your wallet key in your paper wallet or anywhere you consider safe enough. I don't know if I stick with Web-based or go to Desktop applications
For online web wallets i would prefer multi sig wallets (i think blocktrail has this feature) and for offline i would suggest Trezor(very expensive)
I don't think blocktrail allows users to control any of the keys. For optimal security, the user must control at least n-of-m keys and the service must control less than n. This prevents the service from hacking any of your coins. Trezor is too expensive, Ledger HW1 is a cheaper option.

I've read somewhere an article about creating a really safe bitcoin wallet. It's like booting linux from a live CD, create a wallet, save wallet.dat on 2 USB sticks. Put one of them into a safe, use only the second if needed. You can put BTC into your wallet without the USB sticks. If you want to spend, boot again the live CD, copy back wallet.dat and voila.
The trick is a fresh linux each time you want to spend to be sure no malware or any harmful thing is sitting in the back of your system to steal your BTC's.
Since Bitcoin Core uses change address, you have to find a way to disable it or update the backup every 100 transactions. In this case, I would go for Electrum as it has a user friendly offline signing feature. USB Sticks are also quite susceptible to physical damage and is quite unsafe. Electrum are HD wallets and does not require frequent backups, only the seed is needed. The trick is a fresh linux each time you want to spend to be sure no malware or any harmful thing is sitting in the back of your system to steal your BTC's.

i think it's cold wallet, but the effort is different if you use online wallet
cold wallet is more troublesome than online wallet

Cold wallet is meant to have more security. So being slower and taking longer to access your coins is part of it. As part you should have cold wallet stored somewhere safe.
Online wallet is a different creature. It is easy to access and does not take long. This is why you should only keep spending cash not all your money in online wallets.
just forget about the comfortable, you need more secure by cold wallet like electrum

i thought it depends on how comfortable us to access btc.. if we are on desktop and prefer web browser, then blockchain was most secure choice with high security 
Printers also can get infected aswell but it is not as common. If new printer some store the last so many prints in it. I suggest unplugging it for a few minutes and plug back in hoping to get rid of cache.
The older and dumber the printer the better it is to use. And of course don't use a public printer.
My printer is unplugged 99% of the time. Is that safe?
Its a dumb printer it doesnt have LAN access, nor any other extra features.
A cheap printer is not a bad thing at all in this case. Unplugging one like that for just a bit likely gets rid of cache. It is really the all-in-ones that are harder to get rid of. The huge zerox type and other brands. They just store a LOT of data on them depending on configuration.
So people should not be printing in public/work. So I suspect these printers will not be as big of issue for individuals as most don't spend in the thousands for a all-in one printer.
