If Governement, police or thiefes comes to your house they can stole your printed cold storage private keys

I can hide my paper wallets everywhere I want, and there isn't even a single chance of anyone finding out where they are. I could even write down my private keys in several parts, where each part is hidden in a different place -- believe me, no one will ever find it, even if I voluntarily allow the police to search my entire house. Wink

Other than that, I don't care how secure Xapo's location is where they store people's coins -- main point of importance is that you are no longer the sole owner of your private keys, and that's the biggest negative aspect that there is. No matter how much nonsense you come up with in your post, there is no point into making people believe that storing coins in Xapo's service is better than your own cold storage forms....

In this moment Xapo is safest one as you can see here :

They save more the 85% of coins in cold storage in swiss military bunkers splitted on different continents. Means your private key will be splitted too for different continents.
As seen here :

https://qz.com/1103310/photos-the-secret-swiss-mountain-bunker-where-millionaires-stash-their-bitcoins/

If Governement, police or thiefes comes to your house they can stole your printed cold storage private keys and in Xapo this is too much harder to happen . So physicly Xapo security is much higher and online is similar or pretty higher because regarding website Xapo rented a methereological Satelitte and is using it as alarm to check if website is under silent attack one day ...

Well that said, the disadvantages of Xapos are only for those whose those Bitcoins are not clan or the money they are using to upload Xapo to buy Bitcoins is from suspicious source or if you dont identify your self on properlyand honest way,trying to openning different accounts with fake ids and things like that then they can seize your freeze your account until you identify your self clearly and honestly!

do they have slack or telegram?

I don't think so they do have this, if you want to contact the support of them just simply contact them by means of their email support and chat support like in xapo. I used to contact the support of blockchain.info when I experienced some troubles regarding my balance so they tried to help me out by giving some points and tutorials.

I've been using blockchain ever since and I've never had any problems whatsoever. Enable 2FA and you should be good, don't know about xapo but you can set the fee as you wish. Also, wallet is safe as much as you pay attention to security.

I'm not enabling the 2FA of my blockchain.info accout but with xapo I like their mobile authenticator for the code and now I don't use them anymore, I hate higher fees.

Im using xapo wallet for many months now and i had no problem with this wallet so far. I have not use or store my btc at blockchain wallet although i have a wallet.
For me they are good and safe for storing your btc since they were operating for many years. I only store small amounts and never store big amount. Just for ensurance.

xapo is good but blockchain is better

Now XAPO cards also can't use outside europian union and its transaction fees are high so I don't think it is good to use any more. The blockchain is best for the online wallet.

Xapo is really good wallet but i will choose blockchain this is the mail road for all bitcoin and this is the no.1 bitcoin wallet i used and every one uses but if your country has very own bitcoin wallet then why don't you choose that as your bitcoin wallet coz here in my country we have our very own bitcoin wallet.

I would go for the Blockchain because its more secure and also way more trusted than than the other wallet of these days to be honest.

The blockchain is better and more trusted and I'm in love with the 2-way authentication method they are having.
This means they are good secured and can be trusted as a online wallet, the only downside is the fee's.

I don't quite understand the purpose of 2FA in the blockchain.info wallet. If someone gets access to your computer and already has a password to your wallet, which is assumed if he ever gets to this step, how the two factor authentication can help secure your funds at all? The intruder can just take your keys which are stored locally, decrypt them using the wallet password, and then transfer all the money kept in that wallet to his own wallet.

Anyone care to explain?

That is just created to prevent accessing of an account from other places. And may I know how was that person will get your wallets password unless you will give it someone that you are trusting. So, the most possible way of accessing someones account is by just getting your full information and passwords. I find blockchain's email 2FA helpful.

Comparing blockchain and xapo's 2-way authentication. Blockchain's confirmation through email is easier than xapo.

Because xapo's confirmation through your phone is sometimes not reliable and fast because I have experienced delay with it.

That's why I stopped using them anymore and there is no way to get your account confirmed through email or some alternative.

Bothe are online wallets but if you want for difference in both of them then I will suggest for blockchain because blockchain will not interfere in your personal details and will only keep your bitcoins while xapo will ask for all the details of you and after that they will freeze your bitcoins and will ask for documents.

The Blockchain wallet is not keeping any bitcons since they don't have access to your private keys. You hold these keys which are required to unlock your bitcoins on the blockchain, and for that simple reason you are the single holder of the funds. Basically, who owns the keys owns the money. They can't even know your balance since the wallet is client-side, and it exists only in your browser.

for that words I mean that on that wallet you will only keep your bitcoins and will not bother you for any documents. and for ll other I agree with you and learned some from there Thanks.

The Blockchain wallet is very like your desktop wallet with the primary difference being that it runs in your browser and you don't have to download the blockchain itself, or some part of it, to your computer.

A relevant part from the Blockchain wallet FAQ:

Quote

What information do you store about my wallet

Wallet identifier
Shared Key
Time the wallet was created
Time the wallet was updated
Time the wallet was last accessed
Encrypted JSON wallet data
Wallet alias - Optional short link if set by the user
Notifications email - Optional if you want to receive transaction notifications by email

Your bitcoin keys are stored encrypted on your computer and backed up on the Blockchain servers. Since the keys are encrypted in the browser itself, hacking the Blockchain servers won't be enough to steal your money.

Hello friends
Which is more safe xapo or block chain wallet? And why?

I really don't think there is all that much difference in safety. The safety is up to you to make sure your pc is always clean of malware and trojans and keyloggers and other meanies Sad

Xapo I use it is good I love the interface it's so professional and sleek. Thought the addded security requires you to use a cell number to send a code to and this annoys me but I guess it is very secure. Someone would need your phone and password to get in.

There are some differences between them. Xapo won't allow users to access their private keys - so you can't store local copy of your wallet at all - if one day Xapo will disappear your money are gone.
Blockchain.info allows you to copy private keys and they are open-source project so you can verify their code yourself. And I would rather have non intrusive wallet like Blockchain, that one that is spying on me like Xapo.

I choose for the blockchain wallet because its way better due to the fact that it has a good future a head and that it can be more protected than the most other online wallets, for me its than an easy choice for which one I would take.

This is what I am using to even though I tried using xapo I am not satisfied with my experience in xapo because it annoys me with the timer.

Because I am not that patient when it comes for waiting, so I shifted to blockchain already and I can say that I am satisfied with blockchain.

This is the most trusted wallet.

But I do get my transactions in Xapo to be processed within one or two minutes itself. When I am sending out more than 0.01 bitcoins, I believe they are getting processed immediately because I have checked the transaction ids, sometimes it contains only my transaction.
If you really do not care about paying tx fees, then switching over from Xapo really not a big thing to you.
