Title: Good/best online wallet? Post by: SirJMD on January 05, 2012, 05:06:29 PM Just as the title states: Recommend me a good online wallet, with these conditions:
- Static recieve address - Wallet for BitCoin - Wallet for NameCoin Would be nice if it could store LiteCoins aswell, but its not an absolute need. Fire away! :) Title: Re: Good/best online wallet? Post by: drakahn on January 05, 2012, 06:52:36 PM i don't know if its the best idea but i use btc-e and vicurex as online wallets, they both can do what you want
Title: Re: Good/best online wallet? Post by: alex44878 on January 07, 2012, 12:44:27 AM I've been using MtGox, but I typically don't store for more than a few days.
Title: Re: Good/best online wallet? Post by: casascius on January 07, 2012, 05:15:01 AM I would recommend you print a paper wallet from BitAddress.org. This is what I do, and I handle thousands of Bitcoins. Virtually all of my bitcoins are on paper.
I have a utility that, if you give me the Bitcoin address, I can give you the Namecoin address that shares the same private key, without needing to know the private key. It's a simple mathematical conversion. So you could use the same paper wallet for both. The utility is open source, you can download it and run it too. It will generate addresses for all the various crap coins ;) if you just input the number that identifies them (e.g. 0 for bitcoin, 52 for namecoin, someone surely knows the number for all the others). Hopefully the alt coin of your choice supports private key imports. (Excuse the bias on the alt coins, of course) Title: Re: Good/best online wallet? Post by: nmat on January 07, 2012, 06:03:51 AM I'm very interested in this topic, since I'm just finding out about bitcoins but right now all the computers I have access to are shared and I only need to move around small amounts. More than anything I'd like to hear opinions on how secure e-wallets are in practice, would my funds really be compromised even in the short term using any of these services? Are they constantly under attack? I'm using instawallet right now, I keep the address written down and check only using my portable Chrome on incognito mode from my thumbdrive and then only from computers which I know aren't infected with any viruses. In my opinion, it is OK to use a website for small amounts. You just need to protect yourself from vírus/malware that could steal your password (if you used the official client you'd have to do that anyway). The top exchanges are probably safe: Mtgox, TradeHill, CampBX, Intersango, etc. They have been around for several months and they haven't been compromised (well, except for MtGox in June...). Btc-e is more recent and doesn't inspire me a lot of trust, but maybe they are OK too. Title: Re: Good/best online wallet? Post by: SirJMD on January 07, 2012, 01:29:03 PM Does Mt. Gox have any transfer fees?
Sadly they dont accept namecoins or litecoins :/ Title: Re: Good/best online wallet? Post by: Seal on January 08, 2012, 12:11:59 AM Does Mt. Gox have any transfer fees? Sadly they dont accept namecoins or litecoins :/ No they don't. However coins only appear in your Gox wallet when they have 6 confirmations. Title: Re: Good/best online wallet? Post by: zumbador on January 09, 2012, 07:16:19 PM Mt.Gox works for me. Isn't TradeHill suppose to be coming out with some kind of wallet or bank account

Title: Re: Good/best online wallet? Post by: The King on January 09, 2012, 07:21:24 PM I personally like the blockchain.info or the strongcoin.com ones because they cannot see your private keys and run away with the money like mybitcoin etc. !
Title: Re: Good/best online wallet? Post by: westkybitcoins on January 09, 2012, 07:27:53 PM As much as the 1% transaction fee (max. 1 btc fee) bites, I mainly use StrongCoin for my online wallet, since I keep control of the private keys. I haven't tried blockchain.info yet.
You could probably recommend to the owner of StrongCoin that he implement namecoin usage. Surely the coding is similar enough to be worth the trouble. Title: Re: Good/best online wallet?

Surely the coding is similar enough to be worth the trouble. I'd like to support namecoin, I'll do some research and see how it works. Title: Re: Good/best online wallet?

Title: Re: Good/best online wallet? Post by: HaldenCoin on April 13, 2013, 10:04:41 AM InstaWallet got hacked!
More info elsewhere on this forum. Title: Re: Good/best online wallet? Post by: TMAN on April 13, 2013, 10:06:08 AM blockchain.info is my preferred wallet, use 2 factor as well!

Post by: reactor on April 13, 2013, 10:08:41 AM You are honestly better off having a wallet locally and running frequent backups. I backup mine every 12 hours (scheduled for when I get payments in from pools) to my Dropbox so I always have a record going back, so heaven forbid the most recent backup gets corrupt I have the last one available. Been working fine and no worries about exchanges dropping, companies getting hacked, etc.
Title: Re: Good/best online wallet? Post by: ajg007 on May 26, 2013, 09:32:25 AM I have bitcoin.qt installed and now have multibit installed. How do i transfer my address from bitcoin.qt to multibit?
Title: Re: Good/best online wallet? Post by: jgalt on May 26, 2013, 10:15:17 AM I'd look through bitcoin.it as they have a fairly comprehensive list, here are a few:
blockchain.info bitcoinqt (download) coinbase.com Also, many sites such as localbitcoins.com and mtgox have a wallet feature where you can store bitcoins. Title: Re: Good/best online wallet? Post by: awgilyas on May 26, 2013, 11:36:22 AM Blockchain and coinbase here. Just due to the ease of payment. Would love to have a hardware wallet for my vault though.
Title: Re: Good/best online wallet? Post by: JSMill on May 30, 2013, 04:32:48 PM Whichever you choose--Use 2 factor authorization!!
Title: Re: Good/best online wallet? Post by: UniversalTrek on May 30, 2013, 05:11:43 PM Best advice is to just keep your coins in your own wallet at all times, only move online when your selling or buying -

Post by: deadweasel on May 30, 2013, 05:17:24 PM Dont use online wallets +1 Use Armory, create a cold wallet, back up your keys in encrypted container, distribute copies of container, store there. Title: Re: Good/best online wallet? Post by: joeventura on May 30, 2013, 08:45:13 PM Static receive addresses are bad, you want to know where your money is coming from.
