Title: which web wallet to use? Post by: craked5 on January 15, 2017, 11:26:09 AM Hello there!
I've got a small question. I'm using Electrum currently, and it's great really. But god the transaction fees... I lose 20 to 40 cents for every transaction. And that's NOT COOL. So i'd like to have the electrum wallet to put all my money apart from a small amount on a webwallet. Lots of people are using coinbase I think, but I'm wondering if it's really the best idea. It seems to me that Bitgo and GreenAdress both have better options. Especially they give you control over your money which is what I'm looking for at best. Any advice here? Are those 2 wallets also without fees? Title: Re: which web wallet to use? Post by: MadGamer on January 15, 2017, 11:50:42 AM Coinbase is definitely not a good idea , Its an exchange and they don't give you control over the private keys , they are providing data to IRS at the moment so Its not wise to use them at this point.
I started using BTC WALLET (https://wallet.btc.com/)a while ago and I must say Its a very good wallet and I never had any problems with it so you should really check it out. I always used to use GreenAdress in the past and Its good too. Title: Re: which web wallet to use?

Basically checking how big is the mempool before sending and then adjusting the fee accordingly would do. If you want the web wallet pay the fees for you, I use Xapo for that. You don't have access to the private keys, from what I know, some claimed issues with Xapo too, I know, but I still recommend it for small amounts, I had no issues in more than a yer of use.

I perfectly know how to use the different fees from Electrum, but it's not what I want, I want a wallet without fees... If there is one! Title: Re: which web wallet to use?

I don't recommend Coinbase and Xapo. These two wallets have very restrictive ToS, everyday I see someone complaining about frozen wallet or suspended account. I started using BTC WALLET (https://wallet.btc.com/)a while ago and I must say Its a very good wallet and I never had any problems with it so you should really check it out. I always used to use GreenAdress in the past and Its good too. For example: "Xapo reserves the right in its sole discretion to temporarily or permanently suspend accounts"... just like that... You are not using BTC to be subject to restrictions like this. Title: Re: which web wallet to use? Post by: titibach on January 15, 2017, 12:21:43 PM Hello there! I've got a small question.

Post by: Gomeler on January 15, 2017, 12:22:51 PM I am little doubt about another wallet except blockchain. Cause I'm just trust on blockchain where've import "Private key" so make sure my balance will be save. If you little burden for fee. I'm suggest you for using coinbase / xapo. There's free fee for every transaction :D. Don't saving bitcoin all in this site, cause sometimes website have trouble :p

Had to delete 4 answers already which were completely off subject... Thanks for those answering my question, or at least bringing some informations. So no opinion on the 2 wallets I asked about. I could let the subject open but it seems like it attracts far too much sig spammer... Gotta lock it. |
