Topic: Where do you store your bitcoins ? - page 14. (Read 13131 times)
I've got not a lot , so all the work on the exchanges !
I'm still saved on blockchain. Recently blockchain have a problem so I decide to move another wallet program such as multibit.
Just copy blockchain's private key to get your balance as same as blockchain's

I use blockchain for daily use. Some times mobile wallet also.
Myself also prefer blockchain.onfo. Because I can access my bitcoina anywhere in the world in just a matter of seconds. I store my bitcoin in blockchain and my private keys in my desktop.

Paper wallets.
I store my bitcoins on an online wallet protected by 2fa. So every time I access my account, I will receive a 6 digit code that I need to enter before I am able to access my account. The only risk that I have is I hope I will not lose my phone like I misplace it or get robbed.
I used to do that as well but became a hassle when for example I forget my phone(yup seriously forget it sometimes). Now I just use bitcoin core on my home PC, and work comp(no one has objected yet) along with updated antivirus although not sure if antivirus can protect from viruses or malware that effect my wallet.datI too use online XAPO wallet and blockchain wallets. I don't keep all coins at one place.
I have one question on desktop wallet. In case you need to reformat your PC due to some attack or some other reason but you don't have option to transfer coins from your desktop pc wallet before formatting. Then can we still recover our coins from wallet after the PC reformat done?
Thanks.

It's troublesome because I have to call my wife and look for my phone and check the messages for any code sent by the wallet provider. I'm OK with it.

I only store it on my bitcoin-qt wallet and some external drive backup.
Storing bitcoin in an offline wallet would be a greater idea regardless of which type of wallet you are using. Because any wallet can be used as cold storage wallet. Use block explorer as your wallet watch. If you are a bitcoin spend, get a password secured wallet with low amount of bitcoin.
www.Blockchain.info is amazing. I know a guy with 1000 bitcoins that keeps it all on there and does all his business on one address and has done it for over a year. I am not saying to do that!! (no, i won't post the address to get my friend in trouble!)
But to keep all your money on www.blockchain.info with 2-step verification and you're fine until you get 100+ bitcoin at which point you can start to worry about other means. I've been using for over two years and I just love the service and almost feel bad that it is free as I would happily pay to ensure the service remains.

you don't want to know... 
50% of my coins are in my mobile wallet so that I can use them whenever I need. About 30% in coinbase and 20% in cold wallet- I am using paper wallets and store them in fire proof safety box.
I don't understand people that are using mobile wallets, we see that how easily is vulnerable android OS.
It can be easily infected by any virus. Only if you left an smartphone offline for the whole time and just to store the bitcoins.
Hmmm... As I don't have much, I am not too worry. By the way I am using CoinPocket in Apple IOS and everything is working well for nearly 2 years with 24/7 internet connection. The private key is in BIP38 and back up is easy.
Storing and keeping your coins on Multibit and blockchain.info are my way of bitcoin gathering. I rarely spend from multibit, so literally it's almost offline, so I keep them as cold storage. Blockchain coins it synchronizes as lightning I prefer it's my hot wallet. Doing in two different wallet is not a problem for me.
blockchain is the best , when it comes to security.well what I do is I put 30% in dogecoin 30% in litecoin and rest in bitcoin so that I can get the advantage of trading dogecoin and litecoin. I don't trade btc/USD as it is getting stable and range bound.
I think that the diversification is the key for everything
