Which wallet do you recommend for everyday use but secure enough?

Is it better to use multiple wallet and spread all btc...

I'd recommend Electrum, pretty easy to use

Edit: Ah , and whatever you do. Don't use web wallets for amounts over 0.1 BTC, better not to use them at all if you ask me.

Always. Never keep all your balls in the same basket.

How would you rate blockchain?

Is mobile ios wallet better than online wallet?

thanks

Blockchain is a no-go. Too vulnerable to even basic phising, and to top it off they have a horrible reputation as a reliable wallet service , even among other web wallets(thats when you know shit's hit the fan)

oh that's not a good news about blockchain.

I am thinking desktop wallet Electrum.
Would I be able to access it from iPhone or other pc?

Thanks

There is a portable version of Electrum, which while using on two PCs requires you to have a copy of the wallet file IIRC. But if you'll be constantly using your wallet from multiple locations, I'd suggest using a web wallet for relatively small amounts(as earlier said 0.1 BTC) and the Desktop client as the main wallet.

Coinbase gives you relatively good security(although I'd avoid any web wallets to be on the safe side, but you don't seem to have a choice), TX fee-free  transactions and other stuff, for free.

For IOS I am happy with using MyCelium. As it allows you pick how much of a miner's fee you want to apply to your transactions from High to Low Priority or even economical  :D. You get the coins I sent to you in less than an hour? That was on the low priority so they sent relativity fast even on that setting.

I like "Bitcoin wallet" for my Android phone.

This wallet gives you exclusive control over the private keys and has a lot of features. I load it up with bitcoins but keep the total less than the value of the phone. Larger amounts I keep offline.

please let me know how to make the bitcoin online wallet and the procedure to change the coin to real money
i am trying to get proper idea to gain in online wallet. but i couldn't. guide me please

Blockchain.info has had some issues before, but they get sorted out very quickly. You would be pretty safe, if you only store small quantities of bitcoin with these online services and if you enable the

2FA features. I never store too many coin in online services any way and would much rather invest in a hardware wallet, like a Trezor for daily use. It is much more secure and they have had zero

problems with security in the past that I know off. You should also avoid storing coins on exchanges... they prone to hackers and employee exploits.  ::)

You can try https://multicoins.org (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1383872.0)
It is opensource and support altcoins.

Testing desktop wallet now. Installed Electrum but can't find it anymore. I think something to do with 32bit pc.

Hardware wallet... I think I'm going to lose it.

https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet (https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet)

what do you want actually, i am also having electrum desktop wallet, did you installed in standard version or what . and what problem you are facing

i recommend to use blockchain.info only for spendable amount it's simple and secure, make sure to activate the 2fa security option.
You can create multiple wallet out there, i used that wallet for long time, so far i'm not complaining
goodluck for you  :D

I suggest to use bittrex. every day I trade here. and every single day I feel safe with the funds I save here. bittrex provide the best service, every transaction we do will confirm to e-mail us. it makes me very confident with this.

Bittrex not online wallet, Bittrex is an exchanger and not recomended to store your coins in exchanger.
I suggest to store your btc in wallet (offline wallet or online wallet)
Blockchain is the best for online wallets.

It should only be used as a hot wallet (so keep only daily spend in it).  Also make sure to use 2FA, lazyness without it could cost you the BTC stored there. It's a great wallet just should not be a main wallet for your holdings.

what do you mean "i can't find it anymore"?
there is no difference between 32bit and 64bit pc when you want to install electrum. this wallet is not a 64bit program that you encounter any problems.

ask your problem here or in the electrum section https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=98.0 and we will help you figure it out.

I suggest you Blockchain.info and Coinbase are the best wallet as much I know both wallet very much smooth transactions and you could go with settings to have many address and multiple devices log in and many more features are there.

On blockchain I did do testing with Yubikey's (a 2nd factor device ) - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1353231.0

They are a great tool to ad 2fa to blockchain.info as they are supported.  To get the second factor the usb device has to be in computer and you physically press it.  So about as secure as you can get on 2fa.  I like the part that you have to have the physical token, and it's not on a text message or something a "bad guy" might possibly have a way to get/see.

Coinbase and xapo are the best.  :)

For me, Xapo is good  ;D

Blockchain.info is the best of all in terms of online bitcoin wallets. With two factor authorization the security of the wallet is increased.

Using blockchain wallet curently with 2FA google app, it also has iphone app so easy to check balance on the go.

Managed to open and do a test transaction on Electrum.
Didn't know I had to run exe everytime I need it.

You don't mate.
I think this one would be more easier for you to use if you are on a mobile.  ;D
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1452147.0

No ??? I have to look it thru again then.


Thanks

i would prefer xapo Service or HaoBtc.

Try it out. I used both services for over an year with no Problems.

regards

Thanks a lot.
I'll try electrum again and may also go for hardware option.

I don't prefer to use xapo because when I use it, its very slow in loading its page to my browser.

I say that blockchain is the best of them all.

XApo is good as long as  you dont have desktop wallet

blockchain.info is quite common as well as coinbase.com. You could also try an offline ubuntu wallet.

 Electrum is the best on both platforms 32bit and 64bit

But OP asks about online wallets.  Electrum is a good wallet for running on a PC but not going to give him that hot online wallet.   Sites like blockchain.info are going to be what OP was talking about.

Which ever one you choose make sure to use 2FA authentication.  Makes it much harder for someone to log into your account even if they somehow got password.

As mentioned Blockchain wallet is quite highly accessible as well used by most of the users. Ubuntu offline wallet provides increased security.

i use wallet from blockchain and exchange wallet. I recommend to use the wallet of blockchain, because many people use their services. Although I use the exchange wallet, but I do not recommend you to fill it with big amount of bitcoin, because you do not store the secret key from your own wallet. Use multiple wallet is good idea i think, to prevent unwanted things.
thank you :)

Why people here still suggested blockchain wallet for online wallet uses? It's have been removed from bitcoin.org bitcoin wallet list since a years ago.

To OP if you want to use wallet for daily spend, better to use phone wallet, I used bither wallet for my daily spend, never have problem so far. And for second wallet (storing) used cold wallet, I suggest you electrum wallet.

For me the best bitcoin online wallet is Blockchain. Blockchain is more popular than other wallet. But i do not like the new version wallet of bitcoin. Just love using the old version.

Use Hardware wallets. they are more secure

yes blockchain.info wallet is popular to most users but the reality is most of those people using blockchain.info don't know the risk of using online wallet to store their coins.

Since the days of bitcoin use I have been using Blockchain.info and found it to be the most secure of all wallets though its a online wallet. Also most users prefer it just because of its fastest transaction and simple interface.

When I'm still new about bitcoins and I searched for the basic things about it and that's about bitcoin wallet.
The blog I have read suggested to create a xapo wallet. That's my first wallet is xapo but now I'm into blockchain.info I find it more convenient
rather than xapo.

in first time im using blockchain wallet everyday for each transaction, and now im using xapo and coinbase  :D
with zero fee feature, it's make me comfortable to make some transaction everyday, i can top up my number phone without pay mining fee.

Good for you but for me even though blockchain has a small miners fee / transaction fee that isn't a big amount to protest for.
It's just a good payment for their good service.

Offline or online? I'm using blockchains since I've started getting into bitcoin and never changed it. I'd suggest you that one.

anyway it's depend about how much bitcoin will you send , Ok , let's calculate, if i want to top up my number phone, the price 100.000satosi and i must pay arround 20.000 satosi ? so the fee arround 20%, it's make me lost my 20k satoshi, it's very diffirent if i want to send 1btc, then i use 20.000satoshi for fee, it's very cheap .

Im use blockchain too, but for daily usage i use xapo/coinbase.

you can see the thread title, he ask about the online wallets.

blockchain.info a good choice, I also use it on the first know bitcoin and very secure when you add google authenticator.

Been using blockchain web wallet and had no problems till now.
