Hi guys, what is the best bitcoin online wallet ? (was using  blockchain.info , i upgraded to the new wallet =its simply a piece of shit + very complicated + bugs + very slow + asking for verifications ......  + can't downgrade to previous wallet) = all shit = not simple to use +and losing btc privacy

Can you help please ? Any safe online alternative or may be better to store on cold wallet ?

no there's no safe online alternative. use wallets like electrum instead.
why do you want to use online wallets anyway?

Thanks for your answer , i will try electrum .

I wanted to use online wallet , in case i have some hardware trouble , but may be better to use desktop wallet and save dat file

I chose bittrex. in bittrex also serves as an exchange. I think for now the best online wallet is blockchain and bittrex.

ah. you don't have to worry about hardware issues if you back up your seed and private keys. that way even if your computer won't start you can still restore your whole wallet using the seed or import individual addresses using private keys.
just write down the seed on a piece of paper and save the private keys on a USB or something.

goto: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet and then choose the web tab to see the rest of the web wallets. i think greenaddress is a good online wallet too but i have never them. and if you are ok with how coinbase or xapo are handling things you can try them too.


i have only one thing to say to you: remember cryptsy

I don't think it will be ever safe to store big amounts on any exchange. Keep the amounts low so you never get big hurted when they run away like other big exchanges did before.
When you talk specific about online wallets then you have few big names like XAPO and Coinbase. There will be always a risk when you store it in an online wallet because they own your private keys. So when you do keep the amounts always low and use for big amounts cold storage so you own your private keys by yourself. Maybe other good option If you use an iPhone then there also exist Bread Wallet(cold storage for mobile).

When you like to gamble stay away from Coinbase they ban people who use there wallet for gambling. XAPO don't ban people so far who use there Bitcoins also for gambling.

blockchain.info is the safest online wallet but I still wouldn't like to leave a significant amount of bitcoin there.

If you use blockchain.info please make sure you use 2FA & use a complex password. They also have a paper wallet type print off that contains your private keys in the event they go down & you need to move coins.

For me from the Philippines, it will be coins.ph. We can buy bitcoins in an hour using local bank deposit or online banking and can withdraw funds within the day or even on cardless transaction via a bank atm. We can also pay bills using the same wallet with rebates even for some services.

jesus. I see a lot of people considers services that controls their private keys as safe. if someone hacked those sites your bitcoins may be gone, you know.


and that.

Thanks guys for your anwsers , i'm trying electrum wallet right now , and i will save my wallet dat in a rar encrypted file sent to my dropbox account

thanks

Your question is very vague. There are many preferences that can be considered, hot storage (online wallet) or cold storage (offline wallet). Why don't you look at this thread and read the replies of users. I'm sure you'll get some ideas and see what fits your preferences.

Well i didnt liked electrum and i had just one problem with it i havent saved the keys to be able to acess the account,my computer just burned and took my adress and wallet with it,besides that its a very easy wallet to use,just be sure to record your keys in paper in a place safe besides computer,i only use blockchain.info as im with them since the begining and i have no complaint to make at them.

May be try bitgo online wallet, there you'll have full control over your money. Needs email address to sign up & login. You may also try coinbase wallet too, they're using shared wallets so that, you don't have full control over your money.

Aside from blockchain.info, I think the best online Bitcoin wallet would be Coinbase, primarily due to all the security features it has. It is also fairly easy to use, and has a fairly simple and detailed layout. The addresses rotate for some added anonymity, but the address will always be able to be linked to an account if you so choose to use it that way.

IMO it's coinbase.

You can buy/sell bitcoin on it, you can use it as a vault, and best of all - they pay the transaction fee for you!

You also get a new address every time you deposit. That makes it more secure.

Bitcoinchain.com has been a good one for me since I have used it.
I like to see how much bitcoin is worth before doing any transactions I do so seeing the splash page is helpful to me.
They graphical interface is simple and response time is fast as expect from this.

Aside from blockchain the best online wallet for me is XAPO it is like other wallet but here your bitcoin address was email its nice because you dont need to copy from the site because you know your email and no hassle . Xapo online wallet is the best wallet for me because there are many games in Playstore that helps me earn more bitcoin.

save bitcoin in trading site is very risky. they could be scam or website hacked. you have to look at some events like mt.gox and cryptsy

every wallet has its own pros and cons, so you can never find something that is perfect in every aspect, for example these above comments on mine are saying coinbase is the best, although it has a lot of good features it has two major bad ones. it is a web (online) wallet and also you don't have access to the private keys so they can run away or block your account.

I prefer Poloniex myself since I like to lend my BTC to the margin traders for a small interest charge. However, this is more of an act of investment rather than storage, and I feel that I am being compensated fairly for the risk I am taking.

Blockchain wallet is the worst one I think, I used electrum for my PC and bither wallet app for my phone. It's my favorite wallet, never have a problem so far.
And don't store your bitcoin to exchange wallet service, or you lost it.

For me it is Coinbase. because of no transaction fees and its reliability. They are online for quite a long time now.

Also I use my exchange's BTC address for storing my bitcoin. It is C-cex. A little amount of my bitcoin earning goes directly to my exchange which I use for trade.

But I think it is better to use offline wallet if you are holding a lot of it.

If you have an Android or iOS device, get Mycelium or Breadwallet. For Windows phone, Copay is great.

They're fairly easy to use, and more importantly: they have an excellent, fool-proof backup procedure.

The biggest risk of buying your first bitcoins is messing something up with the wallet software and accidentally losing the bitcoins. By making a proper backup (which you need to do only once with above wallets), preferably before buying the bitcoins, you're safe.

i am using https://www.bitgo.com it is the best online wallet
Thanks

Coinbase all the way for me. I been using their wallet service for almost 3 years now and I've never had any issues whatsoever. The service is reliable, I've never experienced any downtime, they don't charge transaction fees and they have offline storage for added security if you've got a large amount of Bitcoins. Personally I don't care about the risks, being able to access my Bitcoins anywhere without having to download the blockchain or carry my keys with me is awesome  :)

In my opinion, the best wallet in existence. It could be better if it wasn't "coded" in python.

i like xapo its the most secure for me because you need 2 factor auth always

I also use Xapo and sometimes I'm facing problems with 2 factor auth, because sometimes I'm not receiving sms code to login. It happen rarely, but for this reason I can't use Xapo as my primary wallet.

i'm also use blockchain,but never upgrade it,and now i will never upgrade my blockchain account,thanks for sharing. and i suggest you to try coinbase or multibit,its better for you,just make sure you use all security offered on that wallet,and its will safe and easy to use.

I prefer coinbase over blockchain, but blockchain safer. Now I have switched to a ledger wallet, cheap and safe at the same time.

Greenaddress looks good

Any of them are crappy. The least crappy would be Coinbase I think. But use normal wallets, because you only own the bitcoins when you own the private keys.

"best online wallet" is a oxymoron.

Coinbase is the best bitcoin online wallet ever if blockchain.info is exempted.



Yeah, coinbase is much better than other wallets.

Best wallets is depends on what country you originated and in my country the best wallet is coins.ph because it is user friendly and also we can top up our smartphones to have load it has also a feature that you can easily cash out it in atm machine even if the user dont have atm card and no fee for transaction.

What is the best bitcoin online wallet?

the best online wallet for me is coins.ph
blockchain.com and yobit.net this is were i get my wallet
to keep my bitcoins where it is. :)

There are many good alternatives for you, so far i have categorized for myself the wallets, for online/hot/everyday-use/on-the-go wallets i would suggest coinbase, for desktop wallets: electrum because does not need to download the whole blockchain, and for cold and hardware wallets: trezor because it is very well secured but it's a bit costy.

This ^^

Don't leave any significant amount of bitcoin's in online wallets, you're just asking for trouble although tbh if you really insist on it bc.i is one of the best because you can see your own private key(s). As far as I'm aware you can't with the other online wallets.

As for me, more safety still coins.ph long because I use it. then another. friendly as the support. You can have a chat, just for my open nion. 😂😂😂

Do you mean the new Blockchain.info Wallet? Well if you have a problem with that new wallet, you can make a new wallet and transfer your Bitcoin to that old wallet (Legacy Wallet).

yeah you can, though i agree that blockchain.info wallet is getting kinda complicated to the new people because of that, i think that there are better newbie friendly wallets

i also used to use green address wallet and the use of it is really easy to be honest, besides that i think that people dont have any problems with its security and stuff like that

Online wallets are not safe %100 because the site may get hacked or get down so you can't spend your bitcoin. If you have a smartphone you better try mycelium.

thats true because of that i dont hold any of my bitcoins in online wallets because the funds might get easily stolen in my opinion thus i wouldnt make any of the bitcoins then

to be honest im holding my bitcoins in a cold storage at the moment though if i had to choose an online wallet i would most probably go with green address or something like that

Here in my country I would say online wallets here are safe 100% even though we know that hackers can penetrate to their website.
But as long as you know what you are doing with your account and you know the transactions you are doing. So, if you found out that there's
an irregularity with your wallet you can just simply report it and there support staff are really fast in helping. So, except block chain I would say the coins.ph is the best btc online wallet.

for me the most appropriat and best bitcon online wallet is the yobit. i always suggest you to use yotbit online wallet.

Was there any resolution to this? Someone suggested Bittrex, but I am wondering what is the best online wallet site to use? I tried Cryptonator and turned out to be a total scam and my LiteCoin never arrived in my wallet. I also noticed that 95% of posts and reviews about Cryptonator are negative, so that is definitely one of the sites to NOT use. What's the best LEGIT online wallet site? Anyone know?
