Since I know, I've been using bitcoin some web wallet such as xapo, coinbase, blockchain, green address and so on, after trying a lot of wallets I choose coinbase and xapo because I think better than others.

Yeah, this wallets are good if you're just storing only small funds there and since this wallets are centralized and they keep on asking of user's personal information especially coinbase, well I'm not recommending this wallets anf since you as ther user can't access your own wallet address and that's the worst part of this web wallets I mean accounts.

Normal Xapo and Coinbase accounts don't give users access to private keys and transaction fees, whereas both GreenAddress & Blockchain.info let you choose transaction fee and have access to private keys.

If you are using Coinbase or other trading integrated wallets *only* for storing Bitcoin, you don't have to share your personal information. In most exchanges, you only need to share personal information if you trade above their basic limit.

There are lots of wallet online which you can able to use it but remember the risk on losing bitcoin since we do all know that online wallets are more riskier than on hardware or cold storages but if you are making active transactions on daily basis then online wallet would suit you.Ill recommend Blockchain.info among other online wallets out there since ive been using some similar wallet but blockchain does give me somehow a better security. This is just my opinion though.

In my opinion, until now blockchain can still be relied upon for Bitcoin online wallet. From the beginning until now I still use it and still safe.

The main important thing is we must activated 2FA, I ever use some web wallet (xapo, block chain, coinbase, circle, blocktrail, and more), looks the security features is same and good.

Until now I am use web wallet. The weakness of the web wallet is there is no private key feature, but the thing we have to do is activate all security features eg 2fa.

2Fa feature is still useless, your bitcoins might be safe from the hackers or those who are trying to access your coins but not from the site owner they still have access to your coins it such a have control over your money, they can lock it or even freeze it anytime they want, as long as you're not holding your private key it means that your bitcoins are not safe. Just find a wallet where you can control your private key. There are so many safest wallets than decentralized wallet out there, electrum is the one that I recommend.

I think electrum wallet is not a online wallet its an desktop wallet.But it is good to choose because you can backup the 3 types of files like wallet.dat, seeds or private key which is you can install anytime in other bitcoin wallet..
But for online wallet blockchain is a good alternative since blockchain is 1 of the great online wallet that you can backup private keys.. that you can use once your account freeze or locked.

I know that it's not an online wallet since I don't trust blockchain anymore I only recommend people to use desktop wallet like electrum well i have no idea to use online wallet. I had a bad experience with the blockchain, to be honest. Good to see blockchain has import priv-key feature which is good if something happens with the site we can still have access to our coins, the most issue that many people facing was email confirmation, it is not sending or it tooks a long time to get the email confirmation and it seems annoying (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/blockchaininfo-not-sending-confirmation-emails-128884). Another issue was the site sometimes offline due to dns attack, the point is backup your private key if you are using blockchain wallet.

These are some good wallets where you control the keys. Any wallet that controls your keys is a no no.

Mycelium for android, Breadwallet for iPhone and android, Airbitz for iphone or android, Bitpay wallet - works on all devices, Jaxx - works on all devices and Electrum for desktop.

As far as I know the most recommended online or web wallet for new bitcoin user is blockchain.info as it is not that very complicated to use not like the other wallet where you also need to verify your identity, in blockchain once you have settled down the security options of your wallet you're ready to go .

Xapo/Coinbase. Currently only these wallets are working fine and they can keep your bitcoins safe but if you are sending bitcoins from untrusted sources like gambling websites, these two wallets will block your funds. Due to 2FA they are a bit safe but in general you don't hold the private keys of your addresses plus they charge 0.0015-0.003 fee per transaction. IF you want a better option, choose counterparty wallet which lets you choose a smaller fee.

Note: None of these wallets are safe and there is a risk of losing your coins if your device has any vulnerability.

If someone is looking for an online wallet in which he will be able to give a custom fees for the transaction then for them I will suggest that they have to join blockchain.info . In that wallet if he will go to advanced setting in the send page then there he will be able to customize the miner fees.

I use BlockChain.info since 2015 and althought some people here say it's not a good wallet I have never had any problem with them in 2 years already. However, I don't keep much money there, I believe for who uses online services to store money it's better to split the money among several sites, this way you reduce the chances to lose much money by a hacker attack.

Yes. Even you have set 2FA, it doesn't mean your wallet is safe because if you get infected by malware or get hacked there is a chance for you lost your money because your fault. Make sure you won't click any suspicious links and keep your wallet safe (backup the passphrase is important)

Though there are well established online wallets like xapo and coinbase, just target online wallets within your country so that you will avoid major issues when it comes to handling the bitcoins that you will earn. Just like mine, I use an online wallet specifically designed to my country thus it makes easier to cashing out my earnings without too much of a problem.

I like online wallets most of the time, they are faster but most important - they have debit cards which is convenient if you need fiat. i tried most of them: xapo, wirex, coinsbank and blockchain. Currently their fees and limits don't make me happy so I'm waiting for someone new.

I'm always using blockchain.info as I prefer it to use for years and others are referring to this wallet too. I have a single problem to them with the 2FA email that takes a lot of time and delay for the confirmation. But that was resolved immediately with that scenario I trusted more them and their fees is quite good.

From initial starting I'll suggest you to use Coinbase, blockchain or other online wallet. As the normal online wallet doesn't offer additional security option, there always chance to hack, but start making little payments it can considerable.

no there is no additional risk of getting hacked in other wallets, if anything the web wallets you just suggested are riskier. specially coinbase because you don't even control the private keys and they can simply block your account and don't give your money back.
and it is not hard to use a "desktop" wallet such as electrum. the time it takes to learn it is very short. they are very user friendly and much safer than a web wallet.

Yes! I have been getting knowledge about that. I just try to help him, what much easier at this moment from my part. There's no doubt about desktop wallet. As you know It only depends user to user.

Search for online wallets that operates in your country, in this way moving money in and out will easy. its also a good training ground when starting out with BTC,

Sometimes the first results of Google aren't always the safest. You need to watch out for scams. What the OP is doing is what everyone should do. Go to a site like Reddit, Bitcointalk or forum.bitcoin.com and ask for trusted programs.

Id recommend BitGo, as they are the most secure partially web wallet. Otherwise, I would say Blockchain.info.

You can use Online wallet but do it with your own risk because anytime you can lose your money because lose your credentials or hacked. It would be better to generate your address through Vanitygen and then import your private key to the online wallet which support import address like Blockchain.info and that's more secure than using default address generated by your wallet.

I will not recommend any specific online wallet but I am spilling the beans for you to choose the right one. Wallets which provide you the private keys are the genuine wallets.

There are some who call themselves wallets but actually are exchanges and do not provide you the private keys. With a private key you can recover your coins, but without it you are at the mercy of the so called wallets. Choose wisely.

That's right, you can't access your private keys this new update of blockchain wallet which is HD wallets.
If I were you OP, use a desktop wallet if you have a PC this wallet is much safer than in any kind of wallet, and of course you must secured first your device. And Electrum is the that I'm talking about.
And a Mycelium wallet if you have smartphone, this wallet is the most recommended mobile wallet eversince, so you must use it too Wink

Its really hard to find a good and safe bitcoin web wallet for me i still choose electrum instead if i want a safety place of my bitcoin.
But if you are just only looking for online wallet you can try to choose coinbase but like other said not good to use if you are gamble..
You can also try to use localbitcoin i heard that they giving a new bitcoin transaction fee system which is fair for their customer..
But if you are looking for high security much better to use electrum or hardware wallet like trezor or ledger nano..

This is main problem of majority online wallets. They don't give full control of our bitcoins. If website will be hacked, it's a big risk that bitcoins can be stolen. Also, it's possible that web wallet creators will run away with all bitcoins.
There aren't many diferences between exchanges and majority of online wallets. Personally, I don't suggest to use web wallet as a main wallet to keep all bitcoins. If you want to use it as a secondary wallet, you may try blockchain.info. Xapo and Coinbase are also popular, but it's centralized wallets.

It depends on what do you want to do with the online wallet, use it only for small amounts for bigger use desktop wallets or hardware wallets. For example: Blockchain.info its an easy wallet lots of people use it but isn't very safe. If you choose coinbase, don't play on bitcoin casinos, gambling isn't allowed.

Here you can find some suggestions about web wallets if you mean that: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet , some wallets do not allow you to have full control over your money so you may only be able to sign a message but nothing else to spend using the private key, if their website goes down then you can't access your funds.
