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

I would say that if you want to remain really really safe, so blockchain and xapo are not safe for you.
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)

I generally agree with Lauda saying that online wallets should be avoided, at least for putting large amounts on it.
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.

If you're trying to save coins without using them, I'd put them in a paper wallet.

If you have a small amount for spending, I think blockchain.info or xapo are perfectly fine.

I think blockchain is much safer than xapo, but if you want to use wallet without fee then use xapo, blockchain have a fee for every transaction you made even small amounts,. If I were I you I will use those 2 wallet , blockchain for saving btc, and use xapo for your daiy sending funds to others. Like investment etc.

In terms of all the possibilities they're the most unsafe to use. But compared to each other it would really come down to features. I wouldn't say one is more safe than the other since they are both online wallets and both serve the same purpose and act in similar ways.

Your best bet if you want to be as safe as possible, like quite a few people have said already, is to create either a desktop, paper, or hardware wallet.

give me your cryptos

Both wallets are insecure. Online wallets are the worst place to store your bitcoin.

Xapo takes control of your funds.
Blockchain has control of your wallet file, but not your wallet. If they go down or decide to delete your wallet, neither one of you have access to your coins.

But the best would defenitely be blockchain.

If you are going to use the xapo bitcoin debit card service then go with xapo otherwise blockchain is good too. But i dont prefer any of them especially xapo which does not provide private key.

There are both good anyway, But when it comes in the feed of other's member here Blockchain is the one to keep on it, when it comes to history background or track record Blockchain is the good to choice. Though xapo has a good track record too. But I suggest never keep a big amount in this two wallets. its for a small amount of bitcoins.

Both wallets are web online wallets which means you are relying on third parties to hold your bitcoins for you. Not the ideal case if you ask me. Its not difficult to change to Electrum for example , www.electrum.org and download this perfect wallet take your time to read the documentation at their website and you should be good to go. Remember that almost all of the horror stories who bitcoins were hacked were from blockchain the majority of them. If you wanna sleep OK at night I suggest you immediately migrate to Electrum from web online wallets.

Lol of course blockchain safer than xapo. besides blockchain have an older age.

No, it doesn't matter how 'old' they are. Generally, online wallets should be avoided.

Quote from: btvGainer on August 19, 2016, 04:16:54 AM

If you have to use online wallet,try both with smaller amounts and find which one is easier for you to use and more convenient.

Use a desktop SPV wallet, they're equally convenient and easy to use. A good example of that would be Electrum.

Quote from: lenoli on August 19, 2016, 04:19:17 AM

if you want to use online wallet, use coinbase, i am using it more then 2 year and i never had any problem

This is horrible advice. Coinbase should be avoided at all costs.

Quote from: Lombard on August 19, 2016, 04:21:58 AM

i think blockchain is more safe, i have been using it for really long time now and i never was scammed and never heard anything bad about this bitcoin wallet

Besides the fact that you should not be using online wallets in the first place?

Hackers please hack me .... if you can :)

Both are unreliable but there s a very big difference from blockchain to XAPO as with blockchain you have the private keys and you really control the addresses there and you can import those private keys to certain other wallets like Multibit or Electrum if something bad happens to the website like going down because of a DDOS attack. With XAPO is almost like coinbase and they can even block your account certain times.

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 .

Yes both are unsafe but OP is asking which is safer of the two.
Probably OP has no other option but to use online wallet.

For me, Blockchain is safer. I feel more comfortable using it.
Although Xapo requires your account to be verified before you can send/receive bitcoins.

for me blockchain, although Xapo is also a trusted wallet but i usually like to use blockchain i think it is registered therefore more reliable thatn any other wallet.

Lol of course blockchain safer than xapo. besides blockchain have an older age. although they are a third party, but they do not have control over your bitcoin dude. so you have control over your own bitcoin wallet, blockchain also gives many facilities.

I wouldn't leave any large amounts of bitcoin in either as they're web wallets. I do know that with blockchain.info you can print off the private keys to the addresses you have with them so in the event it goes down or there's a DoS you will be able to get access to the coins.

I'm unsure if you can do that with Xapo too?
