I'd not recommend online wallets, even bc.i.... Last month (March), bc.i had some incident which prevented their coins being confirmed by miners (iirc they were disconnected from bitcoin nodes network). And sometimes their HTTP goes down, it's not that uncommon. Of course someone will say 'you can export & import' but it's not that easy for n00bs.

Internet-based wallets store your private keys online. These wallets are unusually controlled by a third party via the Internet. Some of these online wallets can be connected to mobile and desktop wallets, duplicating addresses on various devices. One of the greatest advantages of online wallets remains its accessibility — you can access your funds anywhere where there is access to the Internet. The greatest disadvantage of such wallets lies in the involvement of a third party — someone else controls your funds bringing the users back to centralisation. Most reputable online Bitcoin wallets are Coinbase, Circle, Blockchain, and Xapo.

Whatever Bitcoin wallet you choose, it is important to protect it from hacking. By encrypting your passwords, backing up your wallet, and possibly using multi-signature you can ensure safety and security of your Bitcoins.

For blockchain.info, your wallet file is first encrypted on the client side before uploading to their server, so they don't and can't control your bitcoin indeed.
There are also multisig online wallets like greenaddress.

I agree, altough it seems to be not very popular on this forum nowadays... but I think it's still the best online wallet, expecially regarding their very simple transaction options, to mix money and to make customized transactions.
Never had a problem with blockchain.info.

Hackers have been trying to break into blockchain.info for many years now, with minimal success. I used to keep my coins there, as it offers a decent wallet, which is safe and secure. However, I moved most of my coins to offline storage around a year ago.

Blockchain or Coinbase is the best online wallet at the moment.

Blockchain is good option. It is true. Very good for small amount, but for bigger amount you should use traditional wallet at your PC.
But I prefer to not use any middle man. It is question of security.
It is like leaving funds on the Exchange. It can crash anytime.

Why is it ok for small amounts but not large? It should either be good and safe or not. I think blockchain.info isnn't any less safe than a desktop wallet especially if you don't know what you're doing. I think the key is making sure you're safe and protected because if you're not you can lose your coins whether you store them online or on your desktop.

You have some options to choose from which i recommend you:
-Armory
-Multibit (i use this one, best)
-Bitcoin Core
-Electrum

These are not really online wallets.
I would suggest just sticking to something like localbitcoins. I don't trust online wallets but with localbitcoins the possibility of all the funds being hacked are less likely. But it works very well as an online wallet.

This is probably the most realiable option.

Agreed, their Android wallet is working well too. I've been using it for my daily transaction and never had a serious problem.

I agree with you two, but the android version of Blockchain Wallet is kinda buggy on mine
It's show that i had -0.0$
which actually i got 1 or more $
I kinda hate the currency converter at this time
i hope the mobile wallet dev is working to debug the bug Undecided

I think Android wallet from Blockchain.info has a bugs too.
Sometime when I received Bitcoin to my address notification not show and sometime it's show.
I try to uninstall and re install but notification still not work.

I recommend greenaddress.it, they have been my go to wallet for most of my funds (Until I got into hardware wallets).  They are a multisignature wallet, which adds a huge layer of security.  Its really easy to use and accessible on the go to.

Think the concensus here is Blockchain.info and I'd have to agree. Quick to setup and easy to use, just make sure not to keep too much btc in your wallet.

Not your Keys, Not your Bitcoins
Yes,I agree with you guys.Blockchain is the best online wallet.But if you want more security and control on your bitcoin wallet,download a standalone wallet on your desktop.(don`t forget to back it up)

I usually use blockchain to convert my bitcoin into my local currency.
I've done with it over a year without any problem although sometimes I'm afraid to hold bitcoin for a long time because I've heard about hacked / stolen bitcoin on the blockchain site

coinbase or blockchain

don't go over to a 3rd party

who knows what could happen, these are trustworthy

but don't keep your coins there too long

there was a trustworthy wallet too somethingsomething.io it was called

everyone lost their coins..

don't make their mistake..

Blockchain is trustworthy, because you don't have to trust them.

When making a wallet there, you stay in control of your coins, and you can even download a file which let's you import your private key to an offline wallet in case the website fails.

I doubt a newbie would download the private keys

if the site goes down you lose the coins?

Why wouldn't he?

If someone is not ready to do some simple steps to protect his coins, then the Fiat system might be a better and safer place for him.

I would suggest the blockchain.info wallet, with a strong password not used before and 2FA enabled. Smiley
As others mentioned, the good thing about blockchain.info wallet is that you are the only one having access to your private keys.

most of these wallets are really that great unless its a light weight wallet.

eg: multibit - light weight wallet that doesnt download the whole network etc. (faster acceptance)

I like Coinbase or Blockchain, I'm thinking of shuffling over my coinbase coins to Blockchain anyways. It looks like an online wallet, but acts like a wallet you'd have on your desktop.

Now, if coinbase had interest on the BTC that'd be a different story... But I'll shuffle my coins away from Coinbase and onto electrum or Blockchain...

I know this is somewhat irrelevant to your post, however, there's been times when Coinbase has failed to help a customer if their accounts was hacked, or even freeze their balance.

coinbase or blockchain

don't go over to a 3rd party

You're making absolutely no sense. Please stay at whatever rank you're at, and craft something that isn't so LQ.

Coinbase has the small advantage of paying tx fees out of their pockets, but blockchain.info really is more secure.

You can't go wrong with Blockchain,info they don't have access to your wallet or private keys. you just have to keep your computer secure which is easier said than done.

And also be wary of phishing attacks. Many have been done in the past with Blockchain.info, and I recall one that even appeared on the first link while searching for Blockchain on google.

Check https://blog.blockchain.com/security-alerts/ to see some examples of phishing attempts, together with the phishing google ad lynn mentioned. Smiley

o.k
you have to have a place to store (wallet) you will Bitcoin. And here's how to make your Bitcoin wallet account:

     Go to the following website BlockChain: https://blockchain.info/id/wallet/new
     
     To fill out the registration form please follow the steps as follows:

         Alias​​: can be filled with your name or other text that is useful to help log into your wallet.
         Password: Your password must be at least 10 characters with a combination of letters, numbers and symbols. Remember passwor you make, because there will be no password reset feature that can eventually make you lose your wallet account.
         Captcha: captcha contents according to the characters that appear above it.
         If you are finished, click Continue and you can log in to the wallet that you created above.
Once you are logged in to the wallet that was created earlier, you will be given the address wallet as a means to receive and send bitcoin. Address your wallet in the form of a mixture of numbers and hutuf example: 19ZZ8DZsb5qhtchuKPZWET7Uj8rDoj4KgmB.

This is probably the most realiable option.

Indeed, that's because Blockchain.info doesn't control your wallet. That's not the case if you were to make one on Coinbase.
