Why do you want to store your bitcoins online ? Why not store them on a hardware or a paper wallet that will be in your possession forever ? Storing them long term on any online sites, would be a very high risk.

Get your own client for sure. Either use bitcoin-qt and make your own full-node wallet, or use a light client like electrum etc. If not, get a hardware wallet or paper wallet as mentioned above! Google 'hardware wallet' and you'll find how-to's,

Storing coins online is the worst idea. Some sites take 'inactivity fees' and the like, and some sites can (and have) block transactions for arbitrary reasons.

Then better go with Electrum its much better then Bitcoin-qt and easy to manage

[shadabahmed]

Cold storage is the best to hold your bitcoin for a long time and save the private keys and password for safe places..
or use electrum with authenticatior backup all things also the authenticator backup and save into your email or where is the best to save it..

after installed electrum when i open it

there are two things

which one i go?
1st create a new wallet
2nd restore a wallet or import keys


and wallet kind:
1 standard wallet
2 wallet with two factor authorization
3 multi-signature wallet
4 hardware wallet

please dont angry i am totally noob. and my english is also subhanallah

[PantminerS7]

You can do both.

Option 1:
Creating a new wallet will mean that you have to transfer your BTC from your online wallet to the new electrum wallet. This costs a normal transaction fee. I would recommend using this option.

You could use 'restore a wallet or import keys' assuming you have the private keys for your bitcoin now. Do you?

I'm assuming you're not going to use the coins a lot.

In that case: Choose either 3 or 4 and follow the instructions on screen. For 4 you need a USB/hdd of some kind, but it is the safer option.

You can't say anything about percentages. The point is that if you use coinbase/zebpay/etc for wallet, you have to place your trust in that company. If the company goes down (see MtGox for instance) it can be hard or impossible to get your coins back.

With a hardware wallet or at least a normal electrum wallet, you can always get your coins. This is because you get the private keys for your addresses and a seed that you can backup your wallet with. BE SURE to save both the seeds and private keys in a SAFE place (don't send keys/seeds on email/forums/facebook/etc) either on a USB you keep locked away (hardware waller), or write it down and laminate the paper/whatever you write on (paper wallet).

For even more safety, you could use a 2FA solution, but the one in electrum does not seem especially appealing because it also needs you to trust a company.

Whatever wallet/solution you choose make sure you can always get the private keys for your bitcoin. That is the most important thing.

To make multisig, you need two wallets.

1. Electrum -> new/restore -> create standard wallet -> set a strong password
2. Go in your standard wallet -> Master public keys -> save this key for the multisig wallet creation
3. Make the multisig wallet with New/restore -> Multisig wallet
4. Put in the master key form the standard wallet

Remember to save both seeds for both wallets!

[PantminerS7]

Go with hardware wallet. Just buy a cheap small USB if you don't have one already/

[mynameisdon]

evey wallet which is online have 50% chances to steal your coin.yes, online bitcoin storing service like blockchain,mycelium wallet many more can steal all your coin if they want.but although they didn't do this ever.but in case of you want to store your coin for long term in high amount you should use your own core wallet nothing else.
i ask you why you want to store your money to someone else pocket? why you trust them? i am not claiming someone is scam but storing btc someone else wallet like blockchain.info is just like storing your money in someone esle pocket.

so you just download bitcoin core wallet which have almost 32gb setup.then create your wallet now you can store your coin here.and remember don't forget to make paper backup of your wallet in case of your pc,device formatted.if you do these all you get more more security than bank.

hope it will help you.

How to securely protect 10 BTC offline

Step 1: Get a clean PC/Laptop (Warning: Stay away from smartphones for securing bitcoin).

Step 2: Connect it to the internet.

Step 3: Go to bitaddress.org.

Step 4: Disconnect the internet.

Step 5: Generate a fresh address on bitaddress.org.

Step 7: Write down the private key on a piece of paper. Be cautious to write down exactly what you see and make multiple hand written copies of this. Keep them at different safe & secure places. May be one can be kept in your bank locker.

Step 8: Save the bitcoin address on any text editor in your computer (e.g. Notepad, MS Word etc.).

Step 9: Close bitaddress.org and remove your history & cache. Make sure that there is no trace of the private key on your PC/Laptop.

Step 10: Send 10 BTC to the generated address that you just saved on text editor.
