circle, coinbase, xapo, blockchain...you can use any online wallet you want.
anyway, honestly I never find out a reason why to use online wallet if you can use light wallet like mycelium on smartphone/tablet and light client like electrum on desktop. maybe I;m just conservative or something, but what leads people to use web-based online services for handling bitcoin? they are lazy or something?
Topic: what is the best online bitcoin wallet - page 7. (Read 22430 times)
I use blockchain, it's alright but like everyone else has said, it's got it's problems. Transactions confirmations can take a long time.
I wanna know what is the best online bitcoin wallet To start with
none of them are the best bitcoin wallet for storing bitcoin. for that you should use other methods and wallets for more security.
but if you want to have an online wallet, you can try blockchain.info or Coinbase but all of them will have different sorts of problems associated with them.
When I first met with Bitcoin I was using Blockchain.info, then I registered for Coinbase. These 2 sites are good start for Bitcoin. Then I setup Electrum and Armory to my pc.
circle.com works amazing.
You can start with Blockchain.info wallet but when you learn basics about Bitcoin setup Bitcoin Core in your pc. You need to keep your private keys safe, you can't trust a 3rd party site with all your money.
blockchain.info is having a lot of problems nowadays i would better use something like greenaddress.it wallet as it seams to be much better, though its your decision
Definitely stay away from blockchain.info. The wallet worked fine years ago, but the software has not been updated and it has been revealed that the site has a ton of security issues. Web wallets are never too secure, but if you must use one, still stay away from blockchain.info.
My personal preference is blockchain
but for a starter, coinbase is a good one too.
They've been adding many features that are enticing me to make an account lol

probably a userfriendly wallet like coinbase or circle.
i use Blockchain.info but only for pocket change. no problem with that service, i like it.

I'm not sure blockchain.info is a safe wallet anymore. There were a lot of threads this year about people losing their btc and other problems.
Coinbase seems decent for small amounts. They have a cold storage type of feature and they do insure amounts over $500.
Always use 2FA.
Blockchain.info has been having almost the same problem for awhile now. Check the date on this thread:Coinbase seems decent for small amounts. They have a cold storage type of feature and they do insure amounts over $500.

And then look into the problem johoe advised us to not so long back:

This should have all been fixed now but by memory it wasn't just blockchain, electrum and another also had a simular problem.
I understand this can be easily fixed at the users end by always using a different address per transaction.
Still nothing beats a paper wallet if created correctly. Keep about 0.2btc on one leave it in your wallet like cash and if you ever need it just wip it out, scan that private key and you got ya bitcoin.

For online wallets I would have to say Xapo is a pretty good wallet. You login with your email and password. You can also enable 2 step verification for additional security. It stores your bitcoins in "cold storage" which keeps your funds safe. check it out.
Why not just keep your bitcoins in your own paper wallet cold storage?Thats what i do.
Do you even get access to the private keys for 'your' btc being stored?
Im sure Xapo say they are keeping your cold storage in safety deposit boxes or a vault/safe but how do you know that? Coinbase says they keep your "vault" funds on paper in a bank vault but who's to know that dont just say that and to save money they really just have all them paper wallets in the CEO's desk draw, im pretty sure that dosen't happen but you never really know.
I admit these companies are great for buying coins and also for anyone starting off and still learning but it's not really what bitcoin is about.
These companies are almost like bitcoin banks, they say they will keep your funds safe so you dont have to worry, who knows they may even offer some type of insurance against hacks in the future if they don't already.

Coinbase & blockchain.info are the best .
I've never had any problem with Blockchain.info wallet, it is very easy to use and has a lot of useful features like Coin Control and Shared Send, it also has good security features.
i do poloniex and blockchain as the best pretty damn secure and stable if no password can be hacked into phisical or digital means
I use the online blockchain awith backup and mobile phone app(android) have a simple interface and fast.
Also you can use xapo for micropayments.

i like coinbase they give me small amount of bitcoins after i make a wallet in their website
but depends to you
but depends to you
Yes, they give a sign up bonus for email verification, but the amount is depends on your country.
Coinbase is pretty good, but the money controlled by a third party, so don't store big amount and don't keep for long time.
