Quote from: Fortify on March 26, 2016, 10:38:43 PM There are increasingly sophisticated viruses and trojans trying to target bitcoin. A normal usb to would likely be vulnerable to download when it connected to an infected system. You may know encryption techniques to protect the wallet file or use a dedicated piece of tech like the Trezor. I bought trezor few moments ago, i hope it will be safe option to store my btc

And whenever I need or use that usb I disconnect from internet? Or should I get hardware wallet. I dont know, i feel paranoid after reeding how insecure online wallets are. Also do I need to be online to transfer bitcoins? May be cheaper to get a hard drive. You can then simply store it there for use offline. Unless you use Coinbase Vault to store the Bitcoin (as cold storage) which makes it hard to withdraw fuds without a 48 hour canellation period. If I use harddrive it would be same like using USB tbh.. If any virus connects to my drive im screwed. Ill just get trezor. If you use it on an offline computer, then you are not screwed. Though I see your point. So you dont need to be connected online to send or receive bitcoin?

Quote from: LiteCoinGuy on March 26, 2016, 07:20:28 PM a hardware wallet is probably the easiest + a secure way for most people to store coins. an online wallet is a bad idea indeed. check this out: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=899253.0 Which one would you suggest me to get? Which one is the safest.

Quote from: pooya87 on March 26, 2016, 03:15:43 AM as it is stated by Blockchain.info support page, if you can prove that you own the wallet by giving them things they ask for, there is a chance for you to take back your account by removing the 2FA for you but it is not going to be easy proving the ownership of the wallet without the info I have all info, except the number itself :C I have sim card, pin, puk code but its dead so I cant do shit with it

Quote from: SebastianJu on March 26, 2016, 01:22:26 AM I believe blockchain.info is dealing with such cases that they check your email address and I think they set back 2FA after 2 weeks. You really should see that as a lesson. Alway and ever note done the creation code for 2FA. So that you can easily set the 2FA up on a new phone. Though I think you used sms verification. Yes it was SMS 2FA

Basically I have a number with 2FA enabled on blockchain, 2 days ago that number was disabled because I didnt put money on that sim card for long time. Now I cant receive or send SMS messages, same goes for phone calls.. This means I cannot receive 2FA SMS messages anymore and I cannot enter in my blockchain wallet. I talked to my carrier as well, they said its not possible to retrieve number for next 6 months. I submited 2FA removal request but I'm still little bit worried. How screwed am I?
