I use Coinbase since it's really easy to buy/sell there, but I also have the Bitcoin-qt client.  I like running a full node to help out the network Smiley

Coinbase is really good and more online businesses need to follow Coinbase's lead for security.  However.. just also wanted to point out that Coinbase isn't really a wallet.  Bitcoin-qt is a wallet.

The issue is if the keys in question are generated without sufficient randomness a hacker can find a way to discover these keys, even if it was generated offline.

It is very rare and it happens mostly if you reuse address AFAIK. Bitaddress offers sufficient randomness, you can use alpha-numeric characters, special characters, mouse etc..

The claim here is because these JavaScript generators don't have the sufficient randomness. If they really have sufficient randomness, please explain how this is achieved or post some material proving this.

Not all JS scripts. For randomness, use mouse, keyboard and use special characters. See https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10322571

OK, this part is clarified.

Be very wary of relying on JavaScript for security on sites such as blockchain.info and brainwallet.org. The site can change the JavaScript at any time unless you take unusual precautions, and browsers are not generally known for their airtight security.

You are misunderstanding it. It is says you should be careful when using JS scripts online and it gave Blockchain.info and Brainwallet.org as examples because it is widely used. Brainwallet.org is mainly used for signing transaction. And it says that the JS script can be changed anytime(mostly by owners/co-owners/contributors) and browsers don't have airtight security as the most of them doesn't wipe caches, app-datas and sometimes it will be there forver and when you connect to interent, it may have a loop hole and you will be in danger. None of them matters when using Bitaddress.org in an offline computer and you can make a full wipe of browser-related files and if are paranoid, you can delete everything related to browser and uninstall it and then install it again(if you want).

BitAddress.org is an online JS script too. It can be changed in the same way as of Blockchain.info or Brainwallet.org. So, even if you want to use offline, you should download it and verify the checksums and signature (it's obvious for a more experiencied user like you, but as we are in the newbie section, I think it's important to remember this).

Don't forget Silver and Gold Wallets!  They're pretty secure in their own right.

And they're pretty!!!

http://www.silverwallets.com/

images removed

Definitely good conversation pieces, and great for long term wallet storage.
those silver wallets do look pretty cool! i was just reading on their site, and i think they would be pretty secure as long as you generate your wallets on a safe offline pc, and keep the coin in a safe place too.

Yes, SilverWallets.com basically use https://www.bitaddress.org to generate the offline paper wallets.

If you're interested in them, I'm sure you can PM nightowlace or Blazedout419 here in the forum, to get your hands on one.
thanks for the info, i think i'll probably pass on it for now. looks like it would cost around 0.34 btc to buy a normal silver wallet, which would be a big chunk of my current btc balance.  Sad

Lower priced coins, but still pretty are the Cryptolator series coins.  If search hard enough, I'm sure you could get these for 0.1 BTC or lower.  Here's a recent auction on them:

I have used Blockchain.info for ages. But currently I don't keep many coins there (infact only a few mBTCs). Most of my stash is stored in USB sticks and paper wallets.

BlockChain is good for <1BTC or daily use and I feel secure with 2FA and long random passwords.


Agreed. I use it for day to day activities and never had any issues.
Problem is, when their servers have issues you won't be able to spend your coins, unless you have backup and you can import it.

If your wanting a "watch only" wallet, you can get the newest bitcoin core and enter the address you are wanting to watch by using importaddress, I believe.
