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

im feel more comfortable at XAPO, directed debit card XApo, no fee, and im never get any issue with my bitcoin, im use xapo more than 1year without any poblem
I am yet to try xapo cards and have heard you can get exact market price when loading bitcoin to your card rather than others which only credit upto -10% than market rate. But for simple online wallet experience i like blockchain.info

I think blockchain will provide more security. blockchain more trusted and you can use a wallet full at blockchain because they provide a private key and back up to your wallet. in contrast to xapo, they have control over your bitcoin, you have to be careful with it #imo

I would choose blockchain from between these two. Xapo doesn't hit me as the most secure exchange. In fact, they can be the next victim of the hackers. Blockchain is a lot older than Xapo too.

Hello friends

Both are unsafe as they are online wallets and using online wallets is not recommended unless you are keeping very small amounts for daily uses.
Desktop wallets are much better If you know what you are doing , Paper/Hardware wallets are definitely the best so yeah... It's pretty much depends on the amount you are storing and the purpose .

I dont think that online wallets are unsafe and desktop wallet are safe, once my friend system got hacked and he was using coinbase and xapo for online and was also using electrum desktop wallet, but the hacker was able to hack the electrum desktop wallet and stole the seed key and was able to withdraw the bitcoin stored in desktop electrum wallet, but he was not able to hack the online wallet both coinbase and xapo as both are having 2fa security, coinbase is using sms and email confirmation when ever you are login through new IP address so he was not able to login my online wallet and like this my friend got saved from losing bitcoin in online wallet

This is a common problem. Online wallets (I mean those that exist for a long time) have at least some security level. It may be argued which online wallet is more secure and which is less, but if your computer is not properly protected and you don't follow simple security rules, your desktop wallet may not be even remotely as secure as any online wallet out there.

.

Since I have never tried xapo so I would rather suggest blockchain. Because I think bitcoin users who use blockchain more than xapo, and I think blockchain it's safe wallet providers. But according to what I read on the web xapo, they negate the transaction fee charged if you send money from blockchain. I guess all the above wallet safe, and depending on your decision to use which. thank you

It is true that using online wallet for gambling is too risky as if they find it then they will block your account. but desktop wallet dont have any limit and you can use it any way.

Currently i like more blockchain as i found it easy to use then xapo, last time i saw several coins list, but sure online wallets arent the best way to storage big ammounts of bitcoin, bitfinex recent hack just showed those websites has some security issues and one day who knows if the target wont be those two companies.

So if you are anything serious into Bitcoin, you shouldn't use online wallets at all.
To better formulate it: If you're using Bitcoin for the right reasons and care about its intrinsic values, you're not going to use web wallets.

In fact, I meant something else (but this doesn't mean that I disagree with you). If you have large amounts of bitcoins, it is mandatory that you use some kind of cold storage (e.g. offline wallets).

both is not really safe as it is online wallets,better go off from it because your privkey will be saved on their database,but if you're not having problem with this,i do prefer blockchain because you can sign message from it and could control the address because you'll be shown or given the privkey,but the security, i could say both are at the same level

If I'm not mistaken, the Blockchain Wallet doesn't save your private key in their database. But this doesn't make it any more secure, since the key can still be obtained by criminals through using fishing sites (or Tor exit nodes under their control as it already happened in the past).

But I think it's perfectly fine to hold small amounts of coins on them, just not more than what you could afford to lose.
There's no reason to opt for a web wallet in comparison to SPV wallets like Electrum in these cases either.

Better store your btc in offline wallet if you want security, but if you want mobility and a good online wallet,then choose blockchain (xapo has no fees anyway)
It doesn't have to be an offline computer. I comes down to your usage habits and expertise. Generally, even a SPV wallet (e.g. Electrum) on a computer used daily (the same one that would have been used for the web wallet) is safer.

I think both bitcoin wallet Xapo and Block chain is good and both are safe, but i prefer pick blockchain, because blockchain is my first bitcoin wallet and i don't have any problem everytime i use blockchain.
This is useless advice.

And the other reason is, I just feel more freedom when I'm using Blockchain.info as my online wallet.
Using a web wallet is counter-intuitive to freedom. They're just a better version of Coinbase.

So if you are anything serious into Bitcoin, you shouldn't use online wallets at all.

I would choose neither. Online wallets are hacked on-and-off, and if I remember correctly, the Blockchain Wallet (if you mean this one) had already been a sort of hacked in the past. So if you are anything serious into Bitcoin, you shouldn't use online wallets at all.

I more prefer Blockchain.info, because if you use Xapo you can't import your private key, they will keep your private key instead (which means you can't sign a message with your Bitcoin address on Xapo).
And the other reason is, I just feel more freedom when I'm using Blockchain.info as my online wallet.

I think both of them have the same level of security, both of them have their own unique and speciality, as i know most of the bitcointalk user used blockchain, because it can easily generate a lot of address and you can sign message (which is needed in some withdrawal and verification) and for the security is quite good, you can set, each time you want to access, you need to confirmed through an email, while xapo need a lot of confirmation when you want to withdraw your coin
