Maximum 3 votes per user.

As always, poll list will be modified upon popular request.

No pure trading platform / exchanges shall be added.

I prefer Xapo.com

I have only used Blockchain so I voted for that option but again as mentioned manier times before it is not advised to keep a big amount of your funds on any sort of on-line wallet.

Give Xapo a shot.

So Xapo introduced a new feature, where you can basically share your wallet with your friends and family, not too sure what real world use would that be of but its still a nifty new feature that makes them stand out of the crowd.

Both blockchain.info & xapo are great
Blockchain.info have many wallet features, good anonymity & good security
Xapo is easy to use & have many good features

But, for normal usage blockchain.info wallet is better than xapo

Questions arises :
Can Blockchain be used for micro transactions possibly without network fees ?
Is blockchain integrated with popular faucets ?

Then again,
Xapo has a long way to go if they are ever going to compete against blockchain and coinbase, if at nothing then at least in terms of reputation.

...

Among the online wallets I have only used blockchain.info (http://blockchain.info).  I did have a total of two issues (temporarily lost BTC) with blockchain.info, but in both cases I got them back.

blockchain.info's wallet offers an interesting feature that makes it harder for keystroke logging programs to steal your BTC: a second password option that uses an on-screen "virtual keyboard" (a little bit like Trezor's) before you can send out BTC.  You access that feature via "Settings" at the Home Page of your wallet there.

blockchain.info, of course, offers at least two Two Factor Authentication services, but I never could get them to work well.  This might be especially true if you ever want to use that wallet in a developing country or with slow/bad Internet access...

But almost all of my BTC are now in cold storage on a Ledger and a Trezor.

Blockchain.info is the best online wallet service
There are many great feature, security & anonymity

Even if their site is down, you still can access your bitcoin by keep wallet.json / private key from blockchain.info

Opinions are still divided about the advantages and disadvantages of online wallet, thankfully neither this post nor the poll attached with it actually deals with that issue.

With some more exposure and time I am sure Xapo will surpass Blockchain, they just need to provide some viable alternate access to user wallets IF for some reason their website is down.

I hate to admit it but Xapo's current customer service isnt as responsive as it was a few weeks ago...

Thanks for the suggestion and yes it looks decent enough. Option added to the poll. But I dont think many people would vote for them as they are extremely new.

I'm surprised Coinbase hasn't gotten more votes. I've been using it for a while now and I gotta say I've very happy with their service. I like the fact that they allow users to keep their Bitcoin in cold storage with the Vault. Also they're insured which is always good  :)

Edit - Can Circle.com count as a wallet service? I love that site, they're insured too and I often leave my purchased BTC in my wallet there.

It is always recommended to use offline wallets over online wallets, however the question here is IF you are using an online wallet which of the listed ones up you do you deem the most safest..
