I use Blockchain.info as a "hot wallet", but I never keep more than 0.5 BTC in there. I have a Ledger that I use to store the rest of my BTC.

I use blockchain as it's easier to send and receive bitcoins and the time taken for confirming a transaction is lesser compared to xapo. I prefer xapo only if I need to store over 0.4-0.5 BTC as it requires verification to access the wallet and for me xapo is more trustworthy than blockchain.

I use blockchain.info from the start of my involvement in bit coin platform. They provide address as mobile no. Which is quite good and easy to use as address rather than remembering long traditional address. I have transacted around 1 btc from my blockchain wallet.

I guess most of the people here are familiar with online wallet vulnerability , My question is How many of you Use http://Blockchain.info and why [1]? Whats the maximum Bitcoins BTC , you dare to keep on these online wallets? Why you use these online wallets? [1]I suppose people know how dangerous this is and they don't switch unless something bad happens to their bitcoins , I personally switched once the BlockTrail wallet came out since it's both Multi signature and HD wallet unlike Blockchain.info which means it's more secure then them .

You can download private keys from blockchain.info but not from Xapo.

I still use blockchain.info as a wallet since it is easy to use, fast and it has good security options. Compared to other online wallets it has better features added into it.

When I started out Blockchain.info seemed like 'the' wallet to use so I used it as my main wallet.
There has however been many issues with them as well as security concerns. Whether these were valid or not I don't know but it has led to me considering other alternatives. During this time I've also learned more about the security aspects of bitcoin and this has essentially resulted in me ending up with my present setup which is a Trezor used together with Electrum and MyCelium.
With everything that has happened over the past couple of years it has become clear that online wallets are a risk, no matter what promises are made and or what security is being used.

Those are the normal and recommended fees if you want to get your confirmation getting high priority and getting confirmed as soon as possible otherwise you risk to get unconfirmed transaction and it may end up coming back to you once again , Blockchain wallet don't take any fees for them selfs as far as I know .

If you don't want to download the whole blockchain, then just use a wallet like Electrum; you won't have to download anything.

I previously used Blockchain.info to store my coins. I used that site for 2+ years. That was the first website where i made my First Bitcoin Wallet ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) But due to security issues i have now switched to Software Wallets I use MultiBit HD right now ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) And I'm happy with Multibit ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I stored 1.2 BTC max in the blockchain.info wallet till date

If you set the transaction type to Custom instead of Quick Send, you can enter a different fee.

I started off using it. I quickly realised that while they may be secure, but there've since been a fair few hiccups, the machinery I accessed it with never would be so I moved on.
