Anyone who uses Xapo? I am using that. Isn't that bad. And has no transfer fee!

You don't have control to your private keys. Please use any other wallets where you can control private keys or have an option to take the money even if their server is down. Try Blockchain.info or GreenAddress(or GreenBots).

I am new to this BTC stuffs. So i don't know much about these private keys  Undecided. Using xapo to keep stuffs simple  Cheesy Tongue
Simply, if you do not control your private keys, you do not really own the coins. Also, when xapo has issue (their server is down or they are cracked) you can do nothing.
Thanks. I did some research on google about private keys and stuffs :p already transferred my balance to Blockchain. BlockChain didn't ask for much info like phone numbers and Government issue ID like Xapo did. Thanks for the heads up guys  Smiley
Yeah, bc.info is better than xapo but I think clients like multibit or electrum is better than bc.info, as you do not rely on single point (=bc.info. though you can backup, it's somewhat tricky) if you use clients. Anyway, bc.info is fine for low-volume wallets, I think.

On 2015-03-01, there was problem on bc.info (port 80 was running but port 8333 was down) which caused confirmation delay for txs from bc.info wallets.

Ware transactions pushed to Blockchain?

   -MZ
Transactions are signed and broadcasted into bc.info, but since bc.info was not connected to other nodes, txs were not delivered to miners and was not confirmed until they were recovered.

blockchain is working great for me, i personally like it much than other online wallet,
their sending speed is awesome, so i will recommend it.

Can you please explain? All wallet have same spending speed and it depends on your interent speed. If you put the wallet mode to 'Expert'[1], you will get more options which might slow down your sending.

[1] Not all wallets support this and some wallet only supports this mode. This mode is for technical users.

blockchain in my phone.
Not that I have much there anyway.

Any online wallet(web-based) installed in your mobile or pc isn't an offline wallet. Coins stored in it are stored in it are actually stored in their server.

Why don't you try Bither or GreenAddress(or GreenBits)?

I was using Blockchain.info wallet but disappointed with their service , and I am now using Electrum simple and fast
What's make you disappointed with the Blockchain.info service? Shocked

Some time there service is got down. They server got down and it delay the btc confirmation. it think might be the possible reason

Wallets don't play crucial role on confirming a TX. Instead, miners play crucial role. If BC's server went down, the details on the website such as confirmations, blocks won't be updated. At that time, you will have to use other explorers like Blocktrail.com and Blockexplorer.com.

I can back Blockchain.info as being a decent hot wallet. It's been around a long time, has a reputation and does a lot for sharing information about Bitcoin like all the charts on their site.

I personally use Blockchain, as it's by far the most convenient and easy to use.

yes I think almost everyone uses blockchain, because it is reliable. Simple and easy to use.

and walletnya quite compatible in every game direct


Haven't used Blockchain.info since the 'hacks' but it does look like a lot of people still use their wallets to store btc.

Electrum is one of my favorite wallets without doubt, was glad to hear its been bundled with the latest Tails OS. Apart from that I keep a few satoshi in exchanges so I can quickly buy some alts without having to wait to deposit bitcoin.

I use the blockchain wallet for my iPhone for my coins that i use daily.
As for my cold storage, i use the Ledger Wallet USB tucked away in a safe deposit box so no one can touch it besides me =D
