Bitcoin Forum

Hello,
I am looking for a good online Bitcoin wallet.
I want a wallet that respect my privacy (no log, no asking for ID card, no asking for my first name, etc...).
Low fee.
Do you have any idea ?

You can use https://www.blockchain.info and fill in some bogus names.
It's pseudo online.

Maybe Circle.com is another option.
Or Bitfinex.com

Just fill in bogus names if you are concerned about privacy.

Best you can found is https://blockchain.info/wallet | Blockchain wallet also available as Android Wallet. It has a simple interface, suitable for a new user. And of course they won't ask for your identity proof.

I suggest you to use https://greenaddress.it/en/ , it uses the multi-signature  and every transaction it will generate a new address.

I think blockchain because it is very easy to use and greenaddress.it because of its security.

Ok thank you for your answer :)

Just don't store it on an exchange.


Don't want to get goxxed now do you.

blockchain info - the best imo by far.

and as sifter posted, DO NOT store large amount of coins in an exchange wallet.

It depends.
If you use them as a store of value, you shouldn't keep them on an exchange.
On the other side, bitstamp customers were not really goxxed in the end, so the market is getting better.

If you want to use them for sporadic transactions or store of value blockchain.info is a pretty good choice since there are good security measures taken. (if we forget about the breach a few weeks ago (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=875805.0))

Do not store large amounts in any wallet.
Spread them everywhere and reduce the risk.

For example, I have a cold wallet with a few coins inside.
Whenever I want to spend them I have to do something with all the coins. Also when I only want to send 0.2 BTC somewhere else, I have to touch them all.
I'm looking into offline signing to reduce this risk but it's too complicated for the moment.

I would use https://blockchain.info.  Easily the most well known and trusted online wallet.

I haven't been keeping with the bitstamp coins.

Was it recovered?

As far as I know no customer was harmed in the attack. No customer lost coins.
I'm not sure if the hack was legit. Could have been some manipulating as well, don't know.

Yes No one is harmed, No one lost any thing.
But How is that possible the BTC that was lost it wasm from HOT WALLET, ?


I think coinbase and btc-e will be the best option for you, they are easy to use and no extra information is required during registration.

Thanks

https://blockchain.info/ (https://blockchain.info/)

Easy to used
Trusted online wallet

Basically the interface is online and the wallet is locally stored as far as I know.
And I'm also not sure about the trust.
There should be no trust necessary.
The whole point about bitcoin is that you only have to trust yourself.

Online wallet? Woah dude, you shouldn't be entrusting your coins to such services. But if you want to store them online, store just a few amounts that you can afford to lose. There is the blockchain wallet that is very convenient but like I said, don't entrust your precious coins to such services. A little amount--maybe for spending--won't hurt you in case something bad happens.

There is absolutly no Bitcoin wallet that asks you for the following informations mate ;D that's the  good & awesome thing about BTC in general .
here is a list of the wallets https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet
if you are searching for online then I would recommend Coinbase or BLockchain.info ;D good luck mate

Coinbase is not good because you are not "owning" the private key , the best option for me is greenAddress.it  and blockchain.info (because it is eeasy to use it).

Blockchain is very reliable.

if i would go to use an online wallet i will choose blockchain, intuitive and easy to use, greenAddress.it is not a bad chooise too.

About coinbase i never try to so i cant tell you how it is.

Btw you should not store large amounts in any wallet, specially online wallets, spread them into some other wallets and reduce the risk.

I recommend you to use btc-e and blockchaininfo these site are the best and easy to use,

BTC-e is not really a wallet.
Also, exchanges are often not recommended to use as a wallet.
For example, luckybit does not recommend betting from an exchange address.

Don't use any online bitcoin wallet does not let you backup your private keys. I use only blockchain because I can still open my wallet on multibit incase I cannot access blockchain.info.

Good Bitcoin wallet is secure one and then it depend if you want to hold your Bitcoins or have it available for daily use. As mentioned several times here do not use any of online wallet for large number of BTC. Make sure that you enable two way authentity there.

I am not aware of any Bitcoin wallet where you need to send any proof like ID card.

And fee is defined already per transaction and amount of data.

You can go for either blockchain.info (http://blockchain.info) or greenaddress.it/en/ (http://greenaddress.it/en/), both are good in their services... But blockchain goes slow sometimes and maybe there come a bug which will stop the entire process... So, choose wisely...

Anybody know an online wallet as secure as blockchain.info ?

No, but why wouldn't you use blockchain.info, considering its the "Official" one tho?

Blockchain with 2FA should be secure enough for small amounts.

Coinbase and Circle too, as long as you use 2 Factor Authentication.

Since, like you said, it's the "Official" wallet, it is more likely that some enemies of Bitcoin would want to compromise the website, so it could be a good reason why one would want to avoid it.

I still find Blockchain.info safer than all other online wallets though, especially because the funds are recoverable with desktop wallets in case the site stops working.

Yeah i like using blockchain

Blockchain.info / Coinbase / Circle :)

blockchain is not anymore in the bitcoin.org site,so won't recommend it

Maybe coinbase? Or circle?

blockchain.info added support to multiple addresses with a single account.

Quite practical, I must say

These are not good as a wallet, as you don't have the private keys of your addresses.
Also, the sites may ban your account and keep your bitcoin for some strange reasons. http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2e2yxr/beware_coinbase_is_banning_accounts_that_play_on/

I am using blockchain from 2 years and every thing is fine.

is best you do not use an online wallet, not 100% security

I just like the Bitcoin blockchain from Blockchain.info, but not their online wallet service, because that is not recommended using online wallet. We don't know if the service know our private key :)

Coinbase quite good, I'm using it. (Iphone,Android and PC)

They can't compromise the website, unless they have discovered a way to break the encryptions for the passwords which is impossible. All the best they could aim at is DDosing and thats unlikely as well.
A less "official" site could go bankrupt due lack of funding, then my friend you are fucked.

Blockchain.info wallet is good,I recommend to activate 2FA if you gonna use that wallet and make a backup of wallet.dat file.

My experience:

XAPO: It's interesting (debit card, twitter tipping...), but it has a overhelming security if you are new.
Coinbase: It's interesting, I have some BTCs here.
Holytransaction: I recommend this if you like to use altcoins. It allows to use various currencies.


Instawallet ---> It was interesting, but the security was too low. :P Now, It's closed.

I like Xapo for the zero fee transaction.
Their vault is interesting also, but I never use that :D

Thanks for recommendation
im just joining BTC world
and my first wallet is XAPO

Man i would really not use online wallets...but i heard good things on greenaddress.it and bitgo.com

Try to look for multisignature online wallets if you have to use online wallets...

Hey, Xapo using multi-sig address now :D
But the keys was holded by Xapo :D

Honestly I feel blockchain is the best for most people. Give it a try.

Definitely www.blockchain.info .
Very useful for online BTC storing ,try to host small amounts in any online wallet ,to be 100% safe.

On Bitgo, you have 2 keys out of 3, the site can't transfer your fund alone and you will still be able to spend your bitcoin if the site is down.
But on Xapo, all the keys are controlled by them. It may reduce the risk of loss due to hacking, but not the risk of loss due to theft by insiders.

blockchainwallet if you're looking for functionality and covenience; bitgo for safety :D

blockchain wallet is also secure if you have activated 2fa.

I use www.blockchain.info very simple feature and easy to use

Best online wallet is handsdown www.blockchain.info/wallet . I have never used greenaddress, so can't comment on how it works.
And Xapo, Coinbase, Circle, I wouldn't recommend as wallets because if you don't control the prvt keys you don't control your funds.

you might want to try out counterwallet.co too, as it can hold alt coins like SJCX.

blockchain.info is a great hosted wallet

I only use Coinbase, personally I haven't had any issues with them at all but a lot of people on the site are very hesitant to use Coinbase and recommend other wallets. 

Yeah, forgot to include that. All round, blockchain wallet is the best.

Now they are insured and regulated i dont see how they cant be the best online wallet by far.  Unless there is regular withdraw delays or you wish to remain anonymous.

That's because it's an Online wallet and online wallets are that safe such as Blockchain.info but some people just don't care until it's too late and they get hacked . I would recommend you to use Offline wallets such as Electrum , Multibit , Bitcoin Core (very safe) or Hardware wallets but it may cost you some money . Now it's all depends on you and how much BTC you are holding if it does worth huge security measures or not .

Well lot of people recommend other wallets coz you don't have full control over your Coinbase wallet.You can't get private keys etc..

That's why I prefer blockchain.
Very easy to use and simple.
No download

like many addressed here, i choose blockchain as well.

Anyone know if Xapo is secure enough?

anyone here using Rushwallet(dot)com
i has been using this wallet from aug 14. And til now i have no problem with them.
I use browser add on from rushwallet too to make simple transaction.
---------

Blockchain.info here, never had issues, reliable and smooth.

I don't use online wallets anymore, since if their service have issues (i.e. server errors) you cannot spend your coins unless you have backups (like provided by bc.info) and you can import it.

Blockchain.info is the one i use and I'm happy with it.

Blockchain.info is for simplicity and easy to use, perhaps sums under 50-100BTC could be stored here.

for more advanced use

Xapo for 100-500BTC since it's way more secure than blockchain.info.

However on Blockchain.info they dont have access to the funds, yet Xapo has high security like the vault is inside the mountain in a faraday cage is physically secure.


Although over 500BTC i would definitely not use online wallets, only offline.

blockchain.info most bitcoiner using it. Don't trust new sites.

most people don't really need those things(private key ecc...), they just want simple and clean stuff, coinbase it's ok i guess

i prefer circle to be honest, as you are ready to send money to anyone(for example sometime i need to convert tunisian dinar)

Best online wallets just blockchain.info
best of the best.

blockchain.info is very good and reliable, stay with it.

i think it is best if you do not store your bitcoins in an online wallet, no matter how secure it is. you have to store your bitcoins in an offline wallet and keep what you spend on an online wallet.

Can i ask you, why Xapo is more safer than blockchain for stored 100++ bitcoins ? because i think if you have many bitcoins, it's really risky to store in on online bitcoin wallet.

plus xapo can close your account if they decide you are breaking their rules and block your money!!!

50-100BTC is at current rate equal to 20000-40000 USD how is it safe to store that much online (BCI or XAPO)???

With huge amount of bitcoin none of those online wallet is safe because there someone else controls yours bitcoin wallet.desktop or paper wallets are best IMO because they gives you full privacy and you are the only person who control your wallet,you don't need to depend on them.Using online wallets is like keeping your money in someone else's pocket and request them for your own money each time you want to spend it.

strongly agree with you and only need a simple register for get blockchain wallet and very secure for me because i was never had issue using this wallet

is blockchain the online wallet at blockchain.info ?

Yeah the https://blockchain.info/ be carefull so many scam site like that, i mean some people created phising site and it looks simillar like the original site, all you have to do just checked the address and web before input your password

I've been using blockchain.info and xapo.com and had no problems so far with any of them. Blockchain.info is quite easier and quicker by the way.

thanks, i have bookmarked the page and will always check the sites certificate thingy left side of address.

i think it is blockchain.info as it is very easy to use in my opinion

Your right they somethimes try to trick you to a site with almost the same link.

ok that's the best idea to bookmark the site, goodluck and dont forget to always check the domain name carefully before entering your details

Not all online wallet are giving a good benefits and some feature that we like..
I think the best and secured wallet online is blockchain but there's a fee for every transaction.
But im always use coinbase to secured my bitcoins in my vault if i want to hold bitcoins for a long year and there's no fee for every transaction.....

i think coinbase is a great choice for storing medium-sized, spendable amounts, but if you have high volume of bitcoin kindly store them on trezor or paper wallet

Coinbase has a insurance policy that most don't have.   It is a interesting choice as it has that policy.  But they have never had to test the policy, at least that I know of.

You are trusting them with your coins completely though.  You don't have private key's or any way to withdrawal if there is a problem of their site.  So it's a lot of trust in them to keep it there.

Thing with coinbase is that they work more like a bank rather than a wallet. Aside of all those trust issues, they also blacklist addresses. I've had transactions of mine receive a warning of the type "do this again and we might close your account" for sending BTC to known addresses of tea vendors. Turns out that buying tea that is illegal in 2 American states isn't in accordance with their rules that must abide with strict regulation. But then again, they don't seem to mind quoting false prices. I guess they don't care about regulation when it comes to profit.

Yeah that's what i though as long as we don't have controll over our private key it means our bitcoin wouldn't safe, then cold storage or offline is better, but for spendable amounts it doesn't matter

i'am using coinbase it's a good online wallet but i think there is their whom is better

The best bitcoin wallet for me is the blockchain.info
It is really a trusted wallet.

Definitly blockchain.info, it's by far the most secure and the easiest to use and they are relatively much better than the other competitors.

Anybody here using the exchanges as some sort of their online wallet as well? You can trade with ease and have some btc that can be sent anytime anywhere.

i am satisfied with blockchain.info
it had some minor downtimes in the past but nothing to worry about!

what a bunch of crap, that's why i hate reulation, i hate it when it is overboard like this

i think bitcoin need to stay fully decentralized if you ddon't want to end up using something like you use fiat

Electrum!

I love electrum, it's maybe not the "online wallet" definition cause you get to download an app, but it won't download the whole chain, so you won't have a lots of data on your computer.

But you'll have to be online to use it of course.

Really easy to use, safe, secure, fast, automated fees...
A good history of all your transactions.
Multiple adresses.

Don't know what you can ask more :D

 blockchain.info is the one it looks old but it has all you need

blockchain is popular.. and i am using that and coinbas as secondary wallet.

i think that blockchain.info wallet is the best for using every day as its very easy to use and the using is quick

As a lot of members recommend blockchain.info web wallet for you, I recommend you to export your private keys from it once you created the wallet and backup them in a secure place. then your bitcoin will be reachable and you can spend them anytime even when blockchain site went down sometimes for maintenance.
And always remember that web wallets are only good enough for small amounts 

I am using the offline wallet electrum...

Please let me know how to use wallet and let me know how to earn money.

I leave a single bitcoin in a hot wallet in coinbase for everyday transactions, because they pay my TX fees, and the other 20 bitcoin I have in cold storage on my HW.1 Cold wallet.

i use mainly multibit hd in my laptop and mycelium on my android phone for daily use, the rest is all in paper wallet

blockchain is definitely one of the best, i use their new beta wallet and it seems to be pretty great so i have never needed any other wallets, also i heard that greenaddress is pretty good

Did you seamlessly upgrade to the new wallet or sign up from scratch?

Coinbase very much convenient to newbies I guess because its so easy to work on it and block chain is also good. These both are best ones I feel.

Coins.ph is my favorite wallet, because of their instant withdrawal to ATM 24/7 and 24/7 instant funding on convenience store

You could use blockchain.info for security and convenience, but if you don't have much bitcoin, id recommend coinbase because they cover your transaction fees. If you're a faucet farmer (which I hope you aren't...) then use xapo. It's like coinbase, but instant.

Coinbase is good but only for US citizens who can withdraw the bitcoins to their bank directly. The main fault is that they don't allow micro transactions. I earned a minor amount few years back which is still lying in my wallet as I can't transfer it anyway and since they don't give users their private key, they aren't useful to me.

lot of people here in this forum recommend other wallets because we don't have full control over our Coinbase wallet, yeah you can't get your private keys it's not a good choice for someone who have lot of bitcoin but if you don't have much bitcoin then go with coinbase or xapo

i really like the greenaddress wallet, i have never used anything else as they provide really good services

Coins.ph is an exchange actually and it's not a good idea to use it as a bitcoin wallet because we don't have control on our bitcoin address' private keys. I also use it though because of the same reason with you, the instant withdrawal 24/7 with eGiveCash method, but I don't store all of my coins there.

Storing coins on a exchange is BAD idea in most cases.  Look at Cryptsy as most recent it was thought secure.... then it's like ohhh we were hacked and lots tons of money.

Only one that is a little different is Coinbase as they have a insurance policy if entire site is hacked, if it was your fault and your account is stolen you don't get it.   But they possibly would have a insurance where hack is covered if site was hit.  But for it you give up having a private key, you cannot access Coinbase without going through their site.

What happens if they got hacked? I think all of my list of reputable exchange sites did have a hisrory of hacking.

Offline wallets are still the best to use and not online wallets.

blockchain.info is a very popular online wallet is also very easy to make.

blockchain.info is my favorit wallet, easy to use and safe :)

don't rely much to it, you better move your coins to a harddrive wallet, you should install one specially if you have had more than $200 worth of coins in your blockchain. its still better to have it on your harddrive that you can keep incase blockchain shuts down all of a sudden.

You can make a paper wallet with blockchain info in advanced I believe.  So if you store there yes treat it as hot wallet and yes have private key's in  a safty deposit box to be smart.

And also if using it use 2 factor.  It will help some on securing it as hot storage I recently have became a huge fan of Yubikey being used to add dual factor to blockchain.

I also use 2FA for the security of my account. I do not use another wallet because I was quite confused, as you suggest save on a harddrive. because imo online wallet like blockchain very easy to use. I do not think that blockchain shuts down suddenly.

but if there is an easier and I understand also very safe, of course I'll use it.

Here in Philippines. We are using coins.ph

Coins.ph is not really can be considered as an online wallet because of its multiple feature. It is much more similar to coinbase where you can do direct payment for some of your bills, although some people use it as an online wallet as well. I'd beg to differ it from online wallet like blockchain.info which only serves as wallet

Yes, that's what I'm saying only here in Philippines.

Coins.ph is the best online hot wallet here in the Philippines. Btw, bonski is that you the same person on our forum(pinoybitcoin.org)?

Hi,

 This is very costly.. share any think..


Online Truck Booking (https://www.cargoji.com)

mycelium is one of the best in my opinion.

the new blockchain.info (hate me if you want) looks a lot better in terms of UI and security... so this could be an alternative. just don't use them to hold your savings. only as hot wallet

Mycelium?

It's an online or desktop wallet?

did they fix the bugs with the new blockchain.info version of wallet?
there were many complains in disscussion section.

they're using HD tech now, so they should never fuckup address creation again (in theory)

Its android and available in online as well. i am using blockchain.info. Many people said me. Its good than all.

It might be, but the hack attempt was so powerful that many lost their coins from their wallets.
So, multibit or electrum are good ones as both are desktop wallets.

Use a strong second factor I cannot stress this enough.  I really like Yubikey as it as it's a great physical token to log in.   If you are just using one password and not 2fa your chances of being hacked are much greater.

With good 2fa even if bad guy has password it should not give then access to your account.

Providing Email address and basic information is not a big deal brother..
Try coinbase. It is a very secured and trusted btc wallet. It just requires email address which you can easily provide.

Yeah 2factors authentification is the ONLY protection that can't get hacked unless you get your phone stolen!!

It protected me already twice, I got mails saying I attempted a connection but failed 2fa (which I didn't) so I know for sure it's mandatory ^^

Xapo is the best i think, not for many bitcoins but for small and daily transactions its the best, because it has no fees on transactions.

But for me xapo is the worst online wallet for me i can't login there fast after 2 factor authentic they send the code to my number but it take long time to receive your verification code.. its better to use coinbase or blockchain as online wallet than that wallet..

I never used coincase, i know blockchain is quite faster then xapo but it has fees on transactions, i think blockchain charges 0.0001 btc for each transaction and that is too much if you keep sending bitcoins everyday.

The only reason Xapo makes sense is if you do faucets with it.  That is only reason to really go there I think.  And those doing faucets... look at your time your getting paid cents per hour's in most cases.

Blockchain is the number 1 used hot wallet.  It has a HUGE following.  But people need to treat it like a hotwallet, don't put all your eggs in one basket.  It should be a daily spend amount in it.

Yeah Xapo developped itself on the base of faucet.

They have partnerships with faucets and is very practical for that. Otherwise I don't really see why you would use it as a Hot wallet!

blockchain.info very popular easy to use and very secure. and now blockchain.info have released the second version and better again

What about Bittrex.  Its also good wallet

Bittrex is not a wallet, it's an exchange, not recommended for use as a wallet.

Maybe small amounts for trading, always risky though.

well you can look at is as a wallet, it has a lot of cryptos so it would be very beneficial to use it

I suppose you could and I’m sure many do and I'm not saying don't use it as an exchange, I'm just saying be aware of the risks of leaving any substantial amount at any exchange.

if you have a lot of bitcoin on exchanger, you must be aware since we dont have and controll the private key, it's like when you stored your bitcoin on coinbase we dont have ultimate controll about our bitcoin
so the best wallet is when you have and controll your own private key

Yes it is popular but talking about the security, I am not sure of it. I am an avid user of blockchain.info wallet before but recently I got some bugs using it, it was resolved though. But I am afraid to encounter any bug again and lose my coins so I decided to import my private key to electrum and now I am happy with a software based one. I would suggest you avoid using web based ones like blockhain.info for more security

Blockchain and Blocktrail are the best online wallets.

You need to use 2FA if you want your online wallets to be secure as can be hacked easily but if users click any malicious links here in this forum or anywhere even in email.

Both of these wallets don't need any verification except for email verification and you can get access to your private key as well. If you are OK with verifying your mobile number, xapo and coinbase are also good.

Based on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1364126.0 i would go for BitGo. However it depends what you are looking for in a wallet.
All of them have the same problem, they are online. But they also have the same advantage, accessibility.

save bitcoin in the exchanger is very risky. because you can lose just like that. such problems on crypsty and mt.gox

whenever you think that it is a good idea to use an exchanger as your bitcoin wallet, remember these two recent exchanger incidents:
bter.com which was hacked and lost over 7000BTC
cryptcy which was hacked and closed all its users withdrawals.

True, it has always been said to people out here that don't put your coins on exchanges, just use them only when you want to trade them...
After it is finished, you should withdraw them all and never leave a single piece of your coins there...

As far as i know bter is back after the hack but they were unable to pay back the lost funds http://www.coindesk.com/bter-unable-to-repay-customers-following-alleged-exchange-heist/

I never heard bittrex is a good wallet and i think this is not the best option to use.. Its better to use coinbase or blockchain as our web wallet.
Or electrum for our laptop or desktop pc to store our bitcoins even its offline but you need to sync it in server in order to receive bitcoin or to send bitcoins transactions..

None of the exchanges are supposed to be used to store your coins, and you should withdraw from them as soon as you make the exchange/purchase.
You have so many examples of failed exchanges that "lost" customer funds, it would be simply dumb to be another victim of it.
I would recommend for everyone to use local wallets instead of online ones as well. Be your own bank - that was the idea, so why place trust in third party again ?

You can use login code that will be sent to email and 2FA code that will be sent to your mobile number. No worries about surfing the web. :D

Then just download xapo app for your phone as the code will be sent to your app rather than your phone number and it's faster that way ;)

Dont use blockchain as their security is a trash overall
My wallet got hacked twice and yesterday i got an email regarding login attempt even though i havent open it in a months :P

I don't see how you are getting hacked so easily.  I think it's likely you causing it not blockchain.  Do you have 2 factor turned on with it?

You can go pretty deep with 2FA where even if they have a password it does no good without the 2fa item.   So not sure how you got hacked twice if doing that.  Also they would need to know wallet it... which it seems you would provide through compromised device or phising.  So I don't think you can blame them.

blochchain.info one, I've been using it for a few years now and I'm very satisfied, didn't have any problems thus far.

For me the best bitcoin wallet is blockchain.info. Because blockchain it's my first bitcoin online wallet and i don't have any online bitcoin wallet. only blockchain.info

For Simplicity  &  Security The Best for me is blockchain.info

security? you are not the owner of your priv key for what I know...  ::)

blockchain is the best for online wallet and for security is not a good
is good and the best for security is trezor wallet or bitcoin core

In over 2 years I have had no issue with Blockchain.info's security. 2FA through my phone, IP restriction, Tor restriction, memoric saved, gmail with 2fa. I also archive the address with the most and of course have an encrypted priv key incase.
That is the safest 'online wallet' I have found or would use.
Trezor is a hardware wallet so is not needed in this thread same as core albiet they're both awesome in their own ways.


Yes, to quick to blame a wallet when the problem is his own security measures or should we say lack of. It is just a day to day wallet and the most that could be stolen is a day)weeks spending so it is really not a big deal to leave a couple of btc on there.

For me Coinbase & blockchain both are good.
I have account 3 major wallets Coinbase,Blockchain or Xapo but like coinbase more than others.  ;)

I feel bad for the ones who get wallets compromised.  But we are in agreement a lot jump to something like "blockchain is crap I got hacked" etc.  It is not the wallets fault in most cases of compromised computer.  You most likely got infected somewhere else.  Once your compromised all data is open, if you keep private key on commuter (horrible idea) the BTC can be taken easily.

On sites that offer 2FA use it.  I cannot fiigure out why every single blockchain account does not use 2FA, it does so much good.  I still am playing with Yubikey's and they work great with it.  For not a ton of cost you can have a much more secure hot wallet.

And ofcourse there are paper and hardware wallets that both do have a place and use.

Not everyone understand how to secure their btc in paper or hardware wallets and even desktop wallet because sometimes it takes time to synch the wallet. Most people prefer an online site that provides wallet service as well so it can be accessed anytime and everywhere. Thats why people neglect both paper and hardware wallet although they are by far the most secure wallet

you are forgetting about SPV wallets.
they are a type of desktop wallet that does not need the whole blockchain in order to function. two examples I know of are Electrum and multibit.
Electrum that I use, only downloads 30-40 MB (blockchain_headers) one time when you install the wallet for the first time and each time it synchs the size of it is very small that you don't even feel it even with a slow internet connection.

Try ..
Bitcoin Core, Armory, BitAddress Paper Wallet, Blockchain Wallet
Multibit, Electrum, Hive, Coinbase, Coinkite and Pi-Wallet

If you just holding your bitcoin for security purposes i suggest to use electrum.. the connection from electrum server is encrypted. So its secured if someone trying to monitor your cookies and cache they can't easily decrypt (discrypt) the connection from server to client..
Electrum has many feature that you can use to secured your wallet.. Like cold storage or offline wallet that you can save your bitcoin without internet in long time so that you can hold bitcoin in many years.. then if electrum is down you can easily import your electrum into blockchain so no worries..

Than using any online web wallet if you just hold bitcoin in many years.. There's a possibility that some online web wallet will be down or close...
So be prepare..

I would agree with dude. Nowadays Multibit became very slow in transactions and other things As you said electrum is good in all. In online wallt Blockchain and Coinbase are best one to save the bitcoin I dont think These website will easily attack by scammers.;)

Just saw this you took a tiny piece of my post.  Please mention when you trim a post to your needs and get rid of ones above it.  You will see I fixed it above and bolded all you cut from me.  I was pointing people to 2 factor that use blockchain.  I hate that some people don't use 2 factor on blockchain.  So I was trying to help them become more secure.

I wish more would go for hardware wallets.   I think there is less mistakes on security with them and pretty easy to follow directions.  So myself I hope in future hardware wallets gain more and more users.

Blockchain.info is one of the best online wallets with high security features.
It has got a very nice user interface which makes get into it easily and
understand all features in a short time.

Blockchain.info if you don't even want to use your first name. However with coinbase you don't need to verify anything and you get the option of a vault. Plus, they pay the transaction fees for you!

im using xapo wallet and im still thinking of using blockchain.info and coinbase

And if you use either of these use 2 factor.  It truly can save you BTC possibly.  Blockchain especially I am pushing 2 factor.   I really hope a few read it and decide to use it that werent.

Blockchain is the most popular hot wallet.  It has been for a long time.  Just has a huge user base. 

you should not reply such types on this forum.
like following-
thank you, me too, yes got it....etc
thats all are not allowed here.so it can case to block your account.

the best answer is blockchain.info for bitcoin online wallet which don't ask your any personal id,your lot of person detail.
for creating your wallet there just you have to put your name,username,password.then you are done.

And I HIGHLY suggest using a 2nd factor authentication method to.  It really can save your account.  I was thinking of people who really do enjoy the anomyous part on blockchain.info still can use something such as Yubikey.

With Yubikey it is a physical 2nd factor authentication.  And you don't have to use SMS or other programs that might be able to trace back to you.  So Yubikey might have some possible bonus's for those who seem to be so dead set on not letting site know who user is and still get 2 factor.

The best bitcoin online wallet recommend to new users it's blockchain.info yeah easy to use and newbie friendly.
But hey let's try something different, to try another wallet with same quality and same feature as blockchain.info like green address https://greenaddress.it/en/ and circle https://www.circle.com/en .

Is it true in order to use circle you need to add a Paypal Debit card? I read an article regarding buying Bitcoin with Paypal. :-\

Paypal and bitcoin do not mix.  NEVER sell your coins for paypal.  Paypal is just to hard to predict and sides with buyer a lot.  If your talking about selling with paypal.. many have gotten burned.

I still think best "online" look at 2nd factor options of the sites.   I would use security in part to pick your hot wallet site.  Just a good way to look about it.

The problem with all existing web or mobile wallets is security of your private keys which is solved by Trezor and other bitcoin hardware wallets. Our opinion is that Electrum is the most versatile and best bitcoin wallet and most worthy of your consideration.

wow really electrum is the most versatile and best bitcoin? i haven't heard it, so I'm gonna try it out

If you're starting out new with bitcoins I would suggest using blockchain.info
I use this myself and I think its quite good for sending and receiving btc payments
good luck though for whichever wallet you would like to create.

im use electrum wallet :)
now you can instal on your android too
link : https://electrum.org/#android OR https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.electrum.electrum

So far iam just using blockchain,info I think this is the best online wallet, however sometimes there are some error out there but their enginer will fixed it as soon as possible so far iam not complaining

yes, blockchain.info is most popular and useful online wallet. In case some errors are coming out, just back up your private key and set up 2fa or SMS verification.

As a online wallet I would suggest blockchain.info and coinbase wallet. Best us security as well as smooth in transaction better small bitcoins users can switch with that itself.
If you wanna go with bigger transfers then only we offline and desktop wallets.

Again though to get the better security use second factor.  Second factor I see is the key of having great security on a hot wallet.

Also blockchain and coinbase are VERY different wallets.  One you control 100 percent.  Other is stuck trusting them, but does carry a insurance policy.

i think some online wallet not asking your ID card,and you can give random name to that wallet,its why bitcoin called anonymous,online wallet like coinbase and blockchain not ask your ID card,just phone verified.

Coinbase follows know your customer.... so they know who you are.   And they track it's not going to LBC for example and being sold.   They do this to not be considered money launders.  They are a exchange.

Blockchain is very different it does not require the info coinbase does.

Agreed, not condemning Coinbase but if it’s anonymity you want it’s probably not your best option.

“We will continue to comply with financial services laws and our customers should expect as much. You will not be anonymous if you decide to use Coinbase.”

Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase

And they have to do it to stay legal and stay from not being considered money launders.  They are much more then a wallet with being a exchange.

blockchain.info sells no BTC to customers so far less laws.   Each are good for what they are, but just are different things almost completely.

I advise everyone https://apibtc.com/, this is a very convenient and easy to use purse for storing bitcoins

 blockchain is one of the best,it a bit secure,my first bitcoin wallet is blockchain....but as for me i prefer poloniex,where i have many altcoin in a place.

Privacy is very paramount to enjoy the use of cryptocurrencies

but without ID verifications it narrows down your options to blockchain.info , blocktrail , jaxx, bitgo.....

Poloniex does not accept New Yorkers

blockchain is the best.
Blockchain, mostly known as the backbone technology behind Bitcoin, is one of the hottest and most intriguing technologies currently in the market.
blockchain has the potential to truly disrupt multiple industries and make processes more democratic, secure, transparent, and efficient. Entrepreneurs, startup companies, investors, global organizations and governments have all identified blockchain as a revolutionary technology.
High quality data:Blockchain data is complete, consistent, timely, accurate, and widely available.
High quality data.

Durability, reliability, and longevity.

Transparency and immutability:Changes to public blockchains are publicly viewable by all parties creating transparency, and all transactions are immutable, meaning they cannot be altered or deleted.

Faster transactions:Inter-bank transactions can potentially take days for clearing and final settlement, especially outside of working hours. Blockchain transactions can reduce transaction times to minutes and are processed 24/7.

Lower transaction costs:By eliminating third party intermediaries and overhead costs for exchanging assets, blockchains have the potential to greatly reduce transaction fees.

i have a question too sir about wallet.. i have a bitcoin core wallet how best is this to online bitcoin wallet sir? it is safe and reliable wallet is this?

I think the best online wallet if you need privacy is greenaddress: https://greenaddress.it/en/ (https://greenaddress.it/en/)

It is quite safe and they have fast support. Their backup process is not so user-friendly though...

This is their bitcointalk ann thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=521988.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=521988.0)

I've been using BTC for around 4 months now and used 1 PC wallet and 4 browser wallets, Both btc.com and blockchain.info are top as online wallets and I would take BC.Info though, since you can restore all your Private keys through the recovery phrase.
Electrum "my only PC wallet" is better than both though IMO, and don't worry about syncing, it only took 1 hours or so.

For Bitcoin-storage i advice Nano-ledger (it's safe and practical), you van use any smartphone wallet for small payments, keep your account small, so the risk will be small.

I think coinbase.But now it has little issue right now.

Using only online bitcoin wallet then
Blockchain.info is the good
If you use other cryptocurrencies as well then
Opt for Coinbase, now Coinbase is providing 3 wallets like
Bitcoin, Ethereum and litecoin.
Coinpayments.net is another one which has 65+ cryptocurrency wallets at one place

Xapo another online wallet I use..
before the change fee policy
Alternative for blockchain.

blockchain.info is my favourite

Here I have three solution for you .
1) you can use blockchain.info where they need only email id that is a better way of verification of your account .
 and also they will never expose your price and also you can't reset your password .
2) Use mysellium wallet , where you don't need even a single word of your name  .
Just create new account and if you need to handle all the balance ( that is usual for everyone ) then export the private key of the wallet and save it in the secure place where no one can go easily .
3) Develop own wallet , you can get idea and script code in the Google based sites ( probably at GitHub ) .
But be careful if you know small basic concept of programming than try otherwise you will lose your money like one of the my friend .

Allover I will suggest you for the 2nd option that is mysellium .

I have bitcoin in mycelium account but I have no "spendable" bitcoin when I try to complete a transaction. WHY?

I Choose Coins.ph Because It direct to your wallet when you got your salary

Are online wallets safe enough.

Thanks for suggestions :)

I think for online wallet, you should try Xapo (Xapo.com (http://Xapo.com)) or Coinbase (Coinbase.com (http://Coinbase.com)), they are really aesy to use and do not ask for real name or antything else.

Don't use online wallets HTTPS is not entirely safe.

Better use a downloadable wallet, like electrum:

https://electrum.org/#home

Sending over passwords via internet is not a good idea, HTTPS is not entirely safe. At least enable 2FA but even then the phone can be hacked.

It's just best if you keep it local.

there is iOS app for that wallet? https://blockchain.info/wallet

Blockchain seems very nice to me

I use coinbase. There not bad ;)

i suggest for blockchain wallet , in the philippine many user used coins.ph but other used coinbase and blockchain too. Also you can have your wallet in your trading exchanger.

Hello Toggy, as someone who is new to bitcoin, i ahve been using blockchain.info without any issue for the past year's.
sometime's i transfer small amount of bitcoin to my localbitcoin.com wallet whenever i want to sell instantly without going through the hussle of searching for buyer's on this forum.

NOTE: it's not adviceable to leave large sum of bitcoin in your localbitcoin.com wallet except you have the intension of selling coin quickly. This is because a friend of mine had bad experience on lbc and his coin was locked-up with request of verification doc. before gaining access to this account.

Thanks

Does anybody keep BTC on Bittrex or other analogues?

If you must, choose one which.

1. Encrypted private key (you don't hold your private key in exchanges, but some exchanges have certain excryption so that they themselves can't see it, though they hold it on behalf of you)

2. Audited (means your funds are not moved, or at least the audited funds/addresses which implies that the wallet keep the funds

3. Guaranteed (in the case of hack, they can refund you)

4. Government-less (some will need KYC check, so if you are wary choose one that doesn't)

I use a combination of several options:

- blockchain.info (http://blockchain.info) for day-to-day stuff as it's simple and efficient
- coinbase.com (http://coinbase.com) to buy and sell bitcoin as it's their main business and the rates are ok
- bitcoin-essentials.com (http://bitcoin-essentials.com) as it's the only one I found paying interest

cheers,

pete

Dompet terbaik gunakan https://blockchain.info/wallet.
Di jamin aman dan nyaman

https://blockchain.info/

Not bad

 ;D

Electrum is the best, open source ,lightweight, easy to use. Perfect!  :)

I think bittrex is okay, and blockchain too, no ID and no much stress.

I use the same, fully agreed!

 https://www.blockchain.info is good.

Blockchain.info https://blockchain.info its they best wallet now. Becuse it's easy to use and and truated online wallet.

You can use blockchain, it's secure and mostly used.

Only blockchain.info
I use it more than two years, no problems

There are many Bitcoin wallet are

BlockChain wallet
Trezor
Ladger Nano
Green address
SpectroCoin

My experience, Blockchain is my best bitcoin wallet.  Bllockchain is the world most popular bitcoin wallet

https://blockchain.info (https://blockchain.info) is a good one. It is very easy to use

Which wallet is the simpliest and lightess btc wallet?

from the replies, https://www.blockchain.info seems is a good choise,I will try it,thanks!

Blockchain.info they are one of the most trusted and have very minimal complaints unlike other wallets that block accounts that are associated with gambling sites or have very high miners fee preference.

https://blockchain.info/wallet/#/
is this only for bitcoin or you can use this wallet for other currencies?
thanks

Bitcoin plus 22 fiat currencies

https://blockchain.info/wallet/wallet-faq

  Like what they've all been saying and keep on saying even though you pretty much got it in the beginning,  Blockchain. That's the name. Easy to use, no bullsh*t needed and it is very easy to navigate. Also user friendly. I guess there's no point in prolonging this comment because it is already said in the first place. But I'll tell you one more time. Blockchain my friend.

cool
thanks

I'm using Copay. Simple, understandable, reliable and open-sourced, if I remember correctly.

I think the best bitcoin wallet is breadwallet

I would have to say Exodus at the moment.
Since it can do anything you like with in it's domain.

You can even trade your alt coin in it (it has 7 alt coins you can store but they say more is on the horizon).

It even has an option to see if you hold any of this bch in the private addresses you have on it. Completely safe of course.

And the interface is very nice and pleasing to the eyes.

They have even included cryptocurreny celebrities in some of the wallets themes with links to their youtube channels from where they received this level of achievement of being known as crypto celebrities. 8)

Yes I agree https://blockchain.info/wallet/ (https://blockchain.info/wallet/) is the best for your requirements. I have used coinbase, xapo and another one but blockchain wallet is the best as long as you're looking for privacy and it's easy to use too so go for it

Agree, it has amazing interface and it's very simple to use. I would recommend it as well.

blockchain info

Hello sir, if your asking for wallet. I would like to suggest coins.ph , that was the wallet i've been using it's good and no hassle. Try it if you like.

blockchain.info still the best web wallet imo.

blockchain.info wallet, i think it is the best web wallet, and easy to use

You Should you offline wallet keep secure.But if you want to use they ask your email or ID :D
You can use a fake email and fake name.You can use blockchain.info

The best online wallet which i have used is www.blockchain.info (http://www.blockchain.info) , beginners can easily handle and use it because there isn't any complexity in it although fees are not that low but it have strong privacy setup. Other online wallets are also good but i will suggest you to start with this one.

now i am using blockchain.info to store my bitcoin so far i feel comfort with that wallet. blockchain is easy to use and secure enough. i am also can install blockchain.info for my android, it's very help me to quick access my wallet.

I'm really not a fan of using online wallets, and I don't suggest people to. It's alot safer to use wallets such as Copay, BreadWallet, Electrum, and Mycelium due to you having access to your private keys. "if you don't control your private keys, you don't have any bitcoin." But if I were to use an online wallet, it will definitely be blockchain.info's wallet service, no doubt about that. I wouldn't trust other online wallets especially wallets from Freewallet.org and I suggest that you people would stay away from that, too. It's a wallet service for multiple cryptocurrencies that is quite famous on the Android PlayStore. Just a heads up.

I think BTC coins are not the best bet no ID card needs logs
The information is easy at once
Thank you

yeah maybe for next chance i'll try to use electrum or mycelium to get more safety waller because on there we got private keys.
although on blockchain we get identifier and mnemonic phase too for more secure. so far i still fine use web wallet and they are not scam. but many peoples said that it is very risky to scam. maybe i should learn more about it.

I think the best online wallet is blockchain.info but to be honest I think you should avoid using those wallets, and if you cannot, then only deposit a small amount of money in that wallet since you are subject to get hacked and lose your money.

I recommend coinbase.

I think Bitcoin Wallet is the best no ID card, no logo, no first name etc.
For coinbase and btc account.

i would recomend electrum or coinami, any other which let you to keep private keys for your wallet

blockchain.info

been using it for years

If you want to use blockchain.info site. I also use it. Because this wallets security is very strong.

Currently using Electrum for pc and of course blockchain.info for online, based on recommendations. We can't go wrong with both.

you can try www.coinbase.com best bitcoin wallet.

I am using Blockchain wallet from last three years and i have never faced any problem with it. It is user friendly, simple and most important - its more secure if you compare with other online wallets. Their android app is also available on playstore, which allowed us easy access to our wallet.

The problem with coinbase is that is an exchange and exchanges can freeze your account for whatever reasons ans since that is the reason many are using bitcoin, to escape the tyranny of a central figure then I do not think coinbase or any exchange is the wallet to leave your money for long periods of time.

hello dear,
I think the best online bitcoin wallet is www.coinbase.com it is very esy, try this may be help you.
I'm using this service.

coinbase.com is really easy to use, but be careful because it goes down sometimes

In the Philippines it would be coins.ph because it's easy to use and very trusted.

Be careful with online wallets. They've been hacked before and you can lose all your coins.

Might not be the answer you're looking for but I would just use electrum. If you remember the seed, it's less than 20 words, you can access your bitcoins on any machine within seconds with only this seed.

cryptonator.com is one of the best. It even provides an app for Android which is quite useful for many BTC users. Also I would recommend Jaxx, this one provides an app for Iphone. Here is another one localbitcoins.com, significantly more comfortable for selling and buying BTC.

agree. i'm using cryptonator.com  - comission fees are much lower

I am using Blockchain.info since 2014 and never had any issues so far with them. They adjust fees automatically according to the network and their mobile app is easy to use. They even didn't ask me for my details till date so I would recommend you to go with it.

P.S - Some online web wallets have some regulations for spending Bitcoins and you can not spend your Bitcoins on any site which are prohibited by them. I would recommend you to consider it while choosing any web wallet.

When I started my adventure I used many portfolios of bitcoins. Currently I think the best option for beginners is blockchain, try your hand!

https://blockchain.info/

Theres eChat. As soon as you sign up it creates a wallet for you. It also has messaging, news feed and video chat. https://echat.io/

here in the philippines, coins ph are the most used ones. It is a good service and fast process. Many bitcoin wallets are good for use as well, coinbase, localbitcoins, electrum, coinami, cryptonator, and much more All of them are affordable to use, having its failure is normal because of the volume of this account.

true but you only get 50 dollars a week and you have to verify bank account. If you want more you have to upload id, which is a pain.

I have been trying for awhile. I tried cellphone, laptop and about to try tablet.

Also you have so many tries to get it right or otherwise you have to wait 24 hours

also I deposited 50 dollars a few days ago, it says i have to wait 9 days.

looking into atms at the moment, it would be friday.

Anybody have experience with atms

If it was a yesterday then I definitely recommend coinbase but after that little hiccup I thinks you should have a cold storage.

I know people have already answered but here is my opinion as to why. I like blockchain.info and electrum. Blockchain was the first wallet I ever used and it is so nice and safe and it's very secure you get your private keys. I like the layout and the way it handles fees is great. I use blockchain wallets to spend Bitcoin when I shop. I use electrum to store Bitcoin so electrum for me is long term. I use it for my Bitcoin savings and main account.

So to round it off.

Blockchain.info is for spending
Electrum is for long term storage.

There is not best, its all opinions. Just go to bitcoin.org and check out the wallets they recommend. Then use those and do some investigating to see if people have had problems with them.

+1 for exodus.  It is elegant and simple.  Easy to use.  Offline there is of course a ledger nano.

For my own security reason I would use multiple wallet like as poloniex and bittrex for cryptocurrency. But my first and foremost choice is "MyEtherwallet" because their main focus is on speed and simplicity, with low resource usage.

I thinks it blockchain wallet! it good and safty

May be i'm strange guy, but i'm using bitcoin wallet in 999dice casino, so no incoming fees and withdraw fee only 0.00025000 satoshi (fixed), it risky, but that dice works since 2013 year. I'm not advertising this site but it's pretty good for me.

Most of the people are using "blockchain" wallet. We believe blockchain is most popular and secured wallet. 

Blockchain.info is for spending
Electrum is for long term storage.

You can't store BTC on myetherwallet, is just for the ERC tokens. Poloniex and Bittrex are exchanges too, if they turned scam or hacked at some point where your btc are still there, you'd feel sorry for not sending it to your desktop wallet. Electrum is my recommendation for this.

I use blockchain as i believe its the most reliable wallet rn

totally agree.
but for a long term is better to use Trezor hardware wallet
and never use exchanges to store the crypto

I recommend coinbase and blockchain.info

I just starting with cryptocurrency. Seems that most people recommend blockchain.info, but it can be used only for BTC ?
Do you guys use one wallet for everything ? How about new altcoins that you get from bounty, where to keep them ? Is there one wallet for all currencies ?

I think hardware wallet is more safe, dependent and reliable than any other wallets.
But best thing to do when you need a wallets to save your bitcoin, you make a good research about it online

I suggest use https://blockchain.info/wallet. Because it's only the best wallet you're looking for and it's also safe to use.

Buenas noches.. mi pregunta es la siguiente realizan algún cobro de COINBASE A ELECTRIC. . es porque los pagos de las monedas me los van A hacer es allí en COINBASE.. o puede manejarse las transferencias fácilmente. .

I can recommend blockchain and coinbase are best online wallets

I recommend blockchain.info and coins.ph. Because this wallet is easy to use and your BTC is definitely safe.

I think best option is blockchain. That is a most trusted online wallet.

Blockchain - the most famous and time-tested online bitcoin wallet. Millions of users have loved it for its reliability, functionality and friendly attitude towards beginners in the world of crypto currency.
Blockchain has many strengths:
quick and easy registration of the wallet;
the presence of HD addresses, which provides almost complete confidentiality.

Blockchain and coinbase they best wallets with maximum security.

Do you need to give some identity when you sign up for a wallet on blockchain?

Just in case ... I am splitting the coins I have to different wallets ..

You are right here.both wallet are good,but coinbase is not a wallet.its only an exchange platform. dont use it as a wallet.use blockchain as a wallet.

In my opinion the blockchain is still the favorite, but I also use MyEtherWallet and I'm very happy. Remember to protect your wallet because it's the basis for beginners!

I will use blockchain and my ether wallet. Thank you for information

I recommend blockchain and exodus as theyre both easy to use and noob friendly.

The Blockchain is good and can be trust for BTC. Also the Myethwallet is good for ETH.
However, the hardware wallet is the best option to keep the coins safe.

MyEtherWallet is not a bitcoin wallet...

Blockchain.info and Xapo.

Electrum is an extremely fast and lightweight Bitcoin wallet, give us private key and seed which ensure our safety

I think just use exchange wallet if you need to store small amount of bitcoin, you can avoiding huge tx fee of bitcoin if you use exchange wallet, use coinbase or blockchain if you want to coldstoraging these coins.

I have coinbase and blockchain.info wallets. Out of the two, I prefer blockchain.info because of the security. Not that coinbase is not good. I will recommend both coinbase and blockchain.info wallets.

Coinbase is reliable but you still need to verify yourself to withdraw from there.

Blockchain wallet is safe and reliable, the only issue it has is the large amount of transaction fee charged when sending fund. Therefore, Blockchain wallet is good for bitcoin storage. Paxful wallet is also good, they charge less when sending fund. That's my own submission.

What you need to verify to withdraw from coinbase? I have been using it for many years and bitcoin withdrawals normally though my account is not verify.

if you mean wallet for bitcoin, blockchain is the best one, it really secure and easy to use. i never getting problem in using blockchain, til now, i'm still using it, i dont know about the other wallet, never try another wallet before, í just use blockchain for 4 years.

a lot software online wallet doesn't ask id and name, like imToken, Blockchain, exodus. Many wallet, better search subforum 'beginner and help' a lot thread talk about online wallet and hardware wallet.

I would recommend Blockchain :)

You can also see those recommended wallets through https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

All of the wallets are indicated there, whether you'll choose desktop, hardware, mobile or web wallet.

Blockchain.info isn't written on that list but many are using it including me, I can't remember what's the reason it wasn't written there.

Hi all. Is there any bitcoin wallet desktop or mobile android  that i can lock in time and not be able to send btc on next 6 months or 12 months?

Electrum for Desktop

Mycelium for Android

If you want to lock funds for long time then I'd suggest you to buy a hardware wallet, trezor or ledger nano

for me the best bitcoin desktop wallet is electrum, though i had tried others as well like exodus, electrum is still very convenient for just make sure that you keep it secured as not to get hacked or to protect your coins, for mobile app though, i use our local app, coins.ph, since we can convert our fiat to bitcoin in real time and is more convenient since we have a lot of merchants that uses the app. though we use different wallets, we should always make sure that our wallets are secured use 2FA and do not give away any important details to access your wallet.

I like mycelium the most. It got a android mobile app....so you got your BTC wallet always with you. No need of any identity proof. Provides private key...easy to operate, low transaction fees. So it will help you to maintain your privacy and anonymity.

Blockchain.info still the best web wallet.  they are one of the most trusted and have very minimal complaints unlike other wallets that block accounts that are associated with gambling sites or have very high miners fee preference.

There are conceptually two broad categories of the wallets you are looking for.

1. Online wallets: In these wallets it needs you to connect to the internet and then save your stakes. However, you need to essentially keep your “private keys” secure to safeguard your hard earned BTC. A few to recommend would be Exodus, Electrum, Coinomi, Jaxx etc.

2. Offline wallets: On the other hand, in offline wallets, they are not just hardware wallets. Practically any wallet that never needs to connects to the internet to interact falls under this category. However, technically the moment you connect to the internet they no longer remain “Offline”. Here you just need to download the link and install it. A few to recommend would be Bitcoin Core, Bitcoin paper wallet, Ledger, Nano S, Trezor, Electrum, etc.

Now it is you who has to decide which one to choose. But generally as long as you can keep your private keys secure you could use either one.

I've used web wallets several times and I think the best ones are btc.com, blockchain, and coinbase. I've been using it for over a year and have never encountered any problems.

Been using since stated, I swear never faced any problems. I personally belief that, As long you dont expose your private key and password to anyone every storage is the safest.

In my opinion the best online bitcoin wallet would be blockchain.info, I like on how it is recommending the fees and also at the same time you can adjust the fee but still it covers the recommended customize fees.

---

I had some problems with them before but their contact support is really attentive and serious with my concerns so by contacting them, they helped me and that's not a matter to me anymore.

I personally use Rahakott wallet. Of course there aren't a ton of advantages, it's just a bitcoin wallet. But I learned to like it for it's simplicity and almost instant money withdrawal. Also, within the Rahakott net money transfers are free.

I've only tried blockchain and never had any issues in terms of security.. I guess slow confirmation is a given for all wallets.

Never heard of this wallet, this must be a popular wallet to the locals of a certain country. But what you mean by transfers are free with it? Transferring from rahakott to other wallets? I know that transfers are only free for the same wallet provider like rahakott to rahakott, coinbase to coinbase. If I mistakenly understand what you are trying to say, do you mean it's about converting your bitcoin on rahakott to fiat?

Check this one - Multiwalletpro, a blockchain wallet for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin etc.
https://www.multiwalletpro.com/

Never heard this wallet before, is it a new online wallet? How long you have been using this wallet, you recommend it to others means that you have some experiences in using this wallet. So please share it here.
I tried to search about this wallet I cant find anything related to this wallet in this forum. Always be careful for such unknown bitcoin wallet services.

Blockchain.info wallet facing serious bugs problems so I don't think it is a good wallet,but I am also used the blockchain wallet before but I never faced any issues while sending and recieving coins and the fee also very less when compared to coinbase wallet.So these wallets are better for day to day usage of bitcoins.But as fas as security concerns web wallets are not safe because we are not controlling the private keys.
So software wallets or hardware wallets are best because the funds will be safe.

I want to add here that I had unsolved following problem: I created walletom blockchain.info and after 2 weeks I decided to use it. I was receiving confirm emails without problem but when I clickedon link and etc, it didn't give me possibility to access my wallet while everything was done correctly. Wouldn't use this wallet for serious reasons, however I created another wallet and it works fine for more than a year. I remember someone had similar problem here too so not an option in online wallets.

We need to be careful when using new online wallets. It does not have any information, the best way to use what has become popular, it will help us avoid mistakes.

There is lot of different opinion, But I am using Coinbase wallet. Coinbase is a largest Bitcoin broker cum wallet, it is best place to store bitcoins in online. As of now they are support to exchange  Bitcoin, ethereum, bitcoin cash, lite coin. And also we can exchange cash by using coin base in 30+ countries. they are looking forward to add XRP.

What? Did I read it right? CUM wallet? What's a "CUM" wallet? This is the first time in my entire life in cryptocurrencies that there's a "CUM" wallet.  ;D Still coinbase is a web wallet/exchange so you better put only funds there that you are ready to convert.
PS- You're in a signature campaign that plagiarized the codes.

LOL, she does not know the difference between wallet and exchange.

I personally do not keep looking for the best online bitcoin wallet, first I know bitcoin and blockchain.info is a wallet recommendation from the beginning I know bitcoin, so until now I only use blockchain.info for online bitcoin wallet. :D

blockchain can be the best option for now. but I think if using blockchain can not currently use a fixed address. addresses always change every accept new transactions that enter, coinnomi I think you can use, it is more convenient can be set any acceptance an that we can change address

for me is FreeBitco.in the best alternatives im storing y coins there now since 3 years and the have best fees !
you can choose fees low/slow and fast/not much!
also you can get a small interest on your Balance there!

Be careful of not storing your bitcoins on that type of wallet. It's risky to use a gambling website wallet for putting most of your coins.

I wouldn't gamble the security of my coins to a gambling website but if that is just a small amount, it's fine I guess.

Just don't trust any of them with your coins for long term.

After the hack of some bitcoins from the wallets of some users and even the hackers are caught but the members are not recovered with their lost bitcoins so I will say that it is not the best online wallet. But xapo is the best online wallet till now and may be even in the future because it has not such type of issue till now and when they close someone account they return their bitcoins. But still the only issue for the users of xapo is that the transaction fees of xapo is much higher than all other wallets and exchanges.

Blockchain.info serves to be the best online wallet without any confusion. Everywhere there'll be issues, but the same gets overcome by the trust from the user community which keeps on increasing regularly. Now the support of ethereum and bitcoin cash adds more access to the wallet than most other online wallets.

No. 1: Paper wallet or other cold storage. A paper wallet is simply a document that contains all the information you need to generate the bitcoin private keys you need. It often takes the form of a piece of paper with a QR code that can be scanned into a software wallet when you so desire. By storing your bitcoin offline, trusting nothing and no one but yourself, and you have all the information you need to control and access your bitcoin, you're using the strongest "cold storage" method out there.

No. 2: Ledger or Trezor (hardware wallets/dongles). When you start thinking about using hardware storage solutions for your cryptocurrency, you know you've gotten serious. These dongles both make the best bitcoin wallet list because of their safety and mobility. Plus, they're good enough for professional investors.

No. 3: Electrum (software wallet). Electrum is a popular, free storage option in the bitcoin community, and is one of the most, if not the most, well-respected desktop storage apps out there. It's been around since 2011 and is also available for mobile, though Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) users are out of luck – to date it's only supported by Android.
Electrum gets high marks for its ease of use and user interface, which is always nice, but the real reason it's the best bitcoin wallet for desktop is its safety and reliability. Like any desktop wallet that's worth its salt, users get to control their private key; Electrum doesn't know what it is. Since your private key, a long string of letters and numbers, gives you access to your bitcoin, you need to keep that, you know, private.
Many online wallets and online exchanges don't give you ultimate control of your private key, adding an extra layer of risk. You have to both trust the counterparty is a good actor, and hope their servers don't get hacked, if that could compromise the service or your information.

No. 4: Blockchain.info (online wallet). Exchanges are ripe pickings for ambitious hackers. Web-based wallets can pose some security and hacking risks too, but they don't have quite the glaring target on their backs that exchanges do. Nor do they have the nightmares of Mt. Gox and Bitfinex hanging over them.


No. 5: Coin base (online exchange). Online exchanges are, by and large, less secure than the methods described below. But Coin base seems to have learned from the lessons of its predecessors, and is one of the biggest bitcoin exchanges in the world. It's also user friendly; not only can you buy, sell, exchange and trade bitcoin on Coin base, but you can store your bitcoin in a wallet there, too.

Really? Are you really storing your coins on FreeBitco? In a gambling site? You might be enjoying low fee rate, small interest and so on but don't you think that's too risky. And you have done that for 3 years!  I have never for once consider leaving my coins that long in any gambling website even my favorite ones. The highest i have left my coin in a gambling site is 2-3 weeks. One has to play safe, you never can tell when the hackers may swing in.

I have used blockchain.info and still using it until now. I don't use coinbase anymore. These are the most popular online wallets that are being used by other coiners.

1. Blockchain.info
2. Coinbase
3. Wallet from gambling sites
4. Wallet from exchanges

yes blockchain wallet working also for me very great since years now .
And for my altCoins iam using Exodus its very great to have all  alts on one place !

Not sure why do people create account on the new wallet, do not they understand the risk involved in new exchanges are way too high and better to go with old and  secure which is being existing form long time and much safer. Chances of getting scam on this are very high with any new wallets or exchanges.

If you are not good at using the bitcoin wallet whether it is online or desktop wallet, chances to loose the money is more bro. Please invest your time on analyze the safety measures for each wallet in their FAQ.
Better to have the fund on desktop wallet, paper or hardware wallets. These are much safer than any wallet.
If you are good at securing your private key you can use anything you want mate.

Freebitcoin is not an online bitcoin wallet as far as I understand. It is a faucet site and a gambling site with an additional investment feature. It is not recommended to store your bitcoin on such site for long term purpose because it is too risky.
Lowest fees should not be the main important thing in choosing bitcoin wallet. Safety is the most important one to consider when you are choosing bitcoin wallet. So surprise to see a Legendary member saying like this. For me, freebitcoin is not even an alternative for storing your wallet.

What? You store your Bitcoin on game wallet (FreeBitco.in) that's really a bad idea. Just imagine, if their service is closed without any info before and your funds still stored on that site. It would be bad and you suffer from losses.

But blockchain doesn't ask your real name.

freebitco wont closed unexpectedly without giving a notice to their users . im also a freebitco user and i entrust them my funds for a long time because i love how thier system works .

 i can earn incentives or interest by just holding alone , isnt that cool ? plus their fees are also dirt cheap when compared to any other types of walles , which means i can pay someone without worrying to much about transaction fees .

blockchain on the other hand is also a good wallet next to freebitco since they wont ask for any further verification about your identity .  so thats it , blockchain and freebitco will be my best choice among others .

I've used a lot of web wallets, in my opinion dividing bitcoin into various wallets is a better thing so I never rely on one wallet, some good web wallets in my opinion are Xapo, Coinbase and Blockchain.info.

At the moment we can use many web wallets, in my opinion almost everything is safe and reliable because it is supported by large companies and has a good reputation, and I think web wallets like Xapo, BTC.com and Bitgo are worthy of our choosing.

hi. What´s your opinion about Zeltrez regarding to store bitcoin? I recently used to store some ZCL´s previous the ANON fork, and everything ok so far. but I would like to hear is somebody has an opinion about keeping Bitcoin there?

I am absolutely agree with you. Maybe in the most beginning online wallet's werent safe enough just due to the thing was new and time needed to make this kind of business safer.

I'm not familiar with that wallet and its not even suggested on bitcoin.org

If you are in doubt with that wallet then don't use it. I recommend those wallets that are very well known and popular to the community and trusted by most.

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

Where did you find this wallet? Seems new and can't be trusted  to store any amount. They don't even issue a github repo to review their wallet if there's no any malicious codes.
Better to use the existing wallets than risking your funds to untrusted one.

I can't online every day because I work at a mine site where there is no internet connection (sometimes more a month I am offline), this makes me have to choose the best wallet and can solve the problem when it happens, and from my experience the best web wallet is coinbase and xapo.

Also if you use hardly or a long term investor then better to switch to the offline mode as it will help you to keep the scammers away from the wallet who look to scam it. Just in case if it is not too much coins then it is fine to keep in online wallet.

You are right, I personally don't trust in any web wallet to store a huge amount probably small amount will be fine but for long holding coins, I must prefer hardware wallet or those offline wallets like Trezor or Ledger Nano these wallets now most likely used others and most trusted to them to store a huge amount of bitcoin, no doubt on this. Web wallet is worth it and 99% of your fund is secure if you have different keys to hold like 2FA authentication I fell safeguard on that.

blockchain.com has indeed become the oldest wallet I know of and is indeed highly recommended to be used as a web wallet. But if you want to find other wallets that you might like such as higher security and lower fees even though we know the blockchain.com wallet security has been very good, you can find it in previous posts that many people have shared the best wallet for used and indeed recommended.

I find blockchain.com fees very low but there are other online/web wallets that are even lower than them. But using them is very convenient but this is only good for using with smaller amounts but if you are going to store large amounts, I don't recommend it.

They also have an announcement 7 days from now.

https://www.blockchain.com/countdown

Anyone that has an idea on what they are going to announce? I'm thinking that they are going to launch their ICO, I hope that I'm wrong. Guess we'll just have to wait after 7 days.

There's a "Customize Fee" option (you have the freedom to choose your TX fee) but I wouldn't recommend going below the estimated "Regular fee".

It has to be "SegWit" (it's already way beyond its schedule)...
