LTU_btc, I was also surprised with this information, but the fact is that such a service still exists and that at least for them it is relatively cheap ($10 per month) or even completely free 10 hours a day. However, for some $20 + I have about 40 Mbps with a landline phone that is unlimited to landline numbers and I still get 1000 minutes free to all mobile numbers within the country.
I believe that dial-up internet is used mostly by older people, and that the number will be smaller in the next few years, at least as far as the USA is concerned.

OP, what you're planning to looks dangerous. Web wallet for long term storage isn't right place. Especially without 2FA. If you're really planning to keep your savings in web wallet, you should accept all possible risks.
People above already suggested you some web wallets. I know, it's your choice, but I think you should consider other options, like desktop wallet. It doesn't requires too much data to download and you'll have to do it only once. And you don't have to download whole blockchain and sync it, unless you're using Bitcoin Core wallet.

What I was actually thinking was that there are still people using very slow dial-up internet that have a maximum speed of 56 Kbps which is just 0.056 Mbps - and that would result in a download time of approximately 1 hours and 15 minutes for file size 30 MB.
Some may say, so who still uses dial-up internet access today, but research says that at least 1 million people in the USA use such internet today. It sounds strange for the 21st century, but for some it is quite enough, while others may not have a better choice.
People really still use dial-up internet? Actually, a million do
Wow, I didn't expected that in 2020 so many people still have such slow internet connection. I thought that even in least developped countries where they have problems with basic things like clean water, they have decent internet already.

That's right, coinomi crypto wallet app is not a web wallet but I trust this wallet more than the web wallet. Dont trust web wallet in storing big amount your bitcoin, because you are not holding your key and which means you also not holding your bitcoin private key. Coinomi is one of the most secure web wallets on the crypto market.
I've used it and I don't have problems with them but there might be people who will argue with you on this for telling it the "most secure" as it's a closed-source wallet.I also dont have any problem of coinomi, so far so good and I can able to accept variety of cryptocurrencies through this wallet app.
For list of all wallets, this is the accurate answer.

For example sometime back, coinomi was discovered to have a vulnerability where the wallet would send your plain text seed phrase to google's remote spell checker API - https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/av987o/security_vulnerability_coinomi_wallet_sends_your
I still remember this issue and that's why even if I use them sometimes, I don't usually store any crypto there and I rarely use them as a cold storage although they are supporting a lot of coins.

Coinomi is one of the most secure web wallets on the crypto market. This also allow you to set a custom fee for your transactions.
It's not worth commenting about certain things you don't have full knowledge about. First of all from the look of things, you don't seem to know more about the different types of wallets. On top of that Coinomi is a close sourced wallet and you can't trust it 100%For example sometime back, coinomi was discovered to have a vulnerability where the wallet would send your plain text seed phrase to google's remote spell checker API - https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/av987o/security_vulnerability_coinomi_wallet_sends_your

I think Coinomi web wallet can solve your problem as it supports 120+ altcoins including bitcoin cash and bitcoin gold .
CMIIW.Coinomi requires to be downloaded so it's not actually a web wallet but a desktop wallet and mobile wallet which has been said and explained by blankcode.
You can check coinomi, though it's not a web wallet, its a desktop and mobile wallet

That may explain part of it, but I don't think it's possible to download 30MB even if your internet is slow.
let assume we have 2G EDGE network so dowloading 30 MB will take about 40 minutes and most of wallets have this size>

Basing of into this list Global Ranking when it comes to internet speed.Then it do shows that country Yemen does have
0.38Mbps speed.I dont know if this list is updated or not though.
For Op's concern then im not really agreeing that webwallet is much better option than with a hardwallet.For connection or accessibility concerns i dont really such hassle or too much of a problem
for him to avoid on HW's.
September 14, 2020, 09:58:46 AM
I think OP has misunderstood about cold/hardware wallet. Storing your funds on a web wallet for a long time isn't safe at any cost. Hackers even can bypass 2FA authentication. Doesn't matter its Google or provided by mobile operators. You may read this article, 5 ways attackers can bypass two-factor authentication.
You don't need a high-speed internet for a hardware wallet, you may use it even normal speed the same as a web wallet. So speed doesn't matter if you can afford to buy it.

I need a web wallet that support alt coins must atleast include bitcoin cash and bitcoin gold? Need one for long term storage. No I'm not going to use a cold wallet, I have a very slow net. Sync cause alot of corruptions. Prefer one using a web browser without 2fa or if must, then accept sms or email for verification each time to login.
Would appreciate the help on this problem above.
Would appreciate the help on this problem above.
I just want to give you a little advice (because everyone already answered your question), my advice is about 2Fa per sms... Dude, avoid this, I suffered a lot with this 2Fa per sms because there are 3 mobile phone operators in my country , one of the operators does not receive sms when I put 2Fa for sms and I was very annoyed by this, because there are times when I need money very urgently but the 2Fa sms simply did not reach my cell phone and it was complicated to contact Blockchain. com (never put 2Fa per sms on Blockchain.com and if possible avoid using blockchain.com if you don't want to cry a lot of regret) because their support in most cases cannot solve the problems.
My country is a very poor country but it has very fast internet even in the most distant district, that's why I doubt that you don't have internet with speed capable of downloading wallets of less than 100MB in just a few minutes.
I also believe that in your country there are many internet operators, use the operator that is faster and download a reliable wallet, your money is precious, so his security must be well guaranteed!

CoinPayments has a web wallet that supports like a million shitcoins. You can also convert your coins to other cryptocurrencies and purchase gift cards from their wallet. There is also Jaxx Liberty which is a browser extension for Chrome.
September 09, 2020, 05:02:25 PM
Regardless of the coins that you have mentioned, it's never been safe to store most of your crypto to a web wallet. Understand how the best wallet works, I'm describing the hardware wallets and everyone had explained it well including the download and synching.
It's not that much of a requirement for better security than what you're thinking to use.

No I'm not going to use a cold wallet, I have a very slow net.
I'm not sure I understand what you're saying here...you're not required to download the whole blockchain when using a hardware wallet, you just need to retrieve your balances, and transactions history so if your internet is capable of loading a webpage, you should be fine using a HW wallet as well. Don't know if OP is ever going to come back to this thread, but I'd stay away from web wallets altogether. I used them when I was a newbie to crypto and then found out how un-secure they are and stopped using them.
You can check coinomi, though it's not a web wallet, its a desktop and mobile wallet but it has everything you want, storing altcoins/bitcoin and doesn't need any major wallet syncing from its server.
That's what I was thinking when OP mentioned his need to store bitcoin gold. I think a lot of desktop/mobile multicoin wallets have security issues, i.e., closed-source code, but I've used Coinomi before with no problems though I'm not exactly certain how secure that wallet is. Simplest solution: buy a hardware wallet. I don't think OP wants to do this, but it's the least headache/insomnia-causing option out there for storing obscure altcoins like bitcoin gold.
September 09, 2020, 01:18:55 PM
It will be worse in all respects if you decide to use webwallet, it does not matter how bad the internet you have, but using a wallet for an Android device will be appropriate.
you can use Magnum wallet

Of course, long term storage and web wallets do not make sense, especially those that do not provide the possibility for any backup.

You can check Magnum wallet. I believe it has all the features you're looking for, just make sure to write the seed and store it somewhere safe.
I tend to agree with this statement, I have been through with blockchain.com the web wallet but since I heard this another oper source web wallet the magnum wallet that supported different altcoins, I preferred to use this web wallet. Even though I considered them as a safe wallet but I won't consider them in storing your crypto in a long period of time, a cold wallet much better. You can head up to their ANN thread, it's quite didn't active in this community.Since OP planning to stored Bitcoin for the long term, I suggest using a hardware wallet, Trezor or Ledger Nano S are much better. Spending a small amount for the security of your valuable asset is worth it and make it sure it is safe at the end of the day.
September 07, 2020, 08:32:12 AM
joniboini, maybe OP is just try to avoid any downloads because of his slow internet - and it is not only about data which he needs to download to sync wallet, but also about Ledger Live+Apps/firmware update in case of Ledger. In some countries, the speed of the Internet is really very problematic, people suffer from 1 Mbps or even less, and traffic is limited.
Of course, long term storage and web wallets do not make sense, especially those that do not provide the possibility for any backup.

I think you're misunderstanding how hardware wallet or other wallets work in general. If you're planning to use it as a long term storage, then you can just use SPV client to generate your seeds and then save it, or any HW wallet like Ledger Nano S, Trezor, etc.
Even if your internet is so slow, syncing it won't take that long since it's probably just 1 MB of data or less than that.

If you are really into long term. A web wallet would be the last type of wallet you would want to use and a hardware wallet would be the first choice especially if your crypto value is huge. Ask yourself what if you create your web wallet account, keep your coins in there then after one year you try to access your wallet and the web wallet service is no more?
Here is a perfect example of the bad things that could happen when you use a web wallet and you have been away for a long time: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/rahakott-wallet-scam-5273251
But if you still want to use one then I advise you use a wallet that allows you to back up your recovery phrase and most importantly your private keys to each of the addresses you have kept your coins so that in case the web wallet shuts down, you can easily import your addresses to other wallet services that are available using your private keys and still be able to recover your funds
On top of the wallet OmegaStarScream has suggested, Guarda Wallet is a multicurrency wallet that supports both Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold, also has a web wallet version and you can as well be able to back up your private keys for the different coins.

Idk about web wallet, i can only think using exchange wallet, they only need browser to work and can support 2fa via sms / email. Is not safe tho, but for short period maybe its okay...
If you want to switch to dekstop wallet without downloading the whole blockchain, exodus is good wallet, the UI is modern and has a lot of coins on there.

Edge is an option as well though its only for mobile users.
Lastly, I would suggest not using blockchain.com wallet it's a tr*sh.
