blockchain.info is a good web wallet but it is not the safest wallet at all so don't keep coins there if you have a lot of them. and yes they have a mixing service (called shared coins i think) but never tested it to see how good or reliable it is. for mixing use bitmixer.io they are good

[Mauser]

Blockchain.info is definitely a good choice for your first online wallet. There is no ID verification or even a phone number required. So if you are looking for anonymity I would get my wallet here.

Keep in mind the less information you provide the less security you have. It all depends on how much bitcoins you want to deposit. If its less than 1 btc go for blockchain. Otherwise I would consider a desktop wallet.

Hi,
 Reading around the forums For newbies blockchain.info is recommended.

If you are looking for an online wallet, blockchain is the best to recommend but if you are planning to store hig amounts of coin in it I will recommend you to choose a more secure wallet such as paper wallet.

Is it anonymous?

It's not. Transaction you make in it are traceable but they will not know tht it is you because the wallet does not require any identification documents.

does it have mixer services.

There are plenty of mixing services available bu I will highly recommend cryptomixer. Click my signature to know more about them or read their Announcement thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1484009.0

  What is the best online wallet three factor .

Are you referrig to 2 factor authentication? I used to use authy, you can downloa it in googleplay. You can try google auth also.

How about tor wallet

I have not used any tor wallet yet so I can't suggest one.

Also would like a recpmmendation for a reliable not too expensive mixer services

Again use cryptomixer.

Blockchain.info seems to be the best wallet to use in terms of access as well security, because recently the wallet have got updated with more security features which makes it more usable for every users from newbie onwards.

I would suggest you have a look at Coinbase for you online wallet service needs. Coinbase is not a popular choice here on the forum because you don't get access to your private keys but personally I think their online wallet service is second to none. You may have to put up with a few inconveniences but your Bitcoins will be insured against theft/hacking. They also offer offline storage and you won't have to pay transaction fees when sending BTC from your Coinbase wallet.

TorWallet?

Blockchain.info is a good wallet and I have some wallets there too.
But do not forget to make that 12 words recovery phrase.
Otherewise it could seperate you from your coins, if you lose your password or so.

[helloeverybody]

if you have the availible resources then id recommend just running bitcoin core as your main wallet, bitcoin core is a node so it uses up a fair bit of hard drive space but you would be helping support bitcoin and its much safer than any online wallet since everything is stored on your computer, Should you need more secure storage than this you could print off some paper wallets for cold storage. The only other wallet i would reccomend because i use it myself is mycelium wallet for android, Its ideal if you need to carry bitcoin with you for spending as a hot wallet.

blockchain.info wallet is only good for storing small amount of coins but i still don't suggest it to others. desktop wallets or mycelium is better just don't forget to save copies of your private keys

firstly they are the best online wallet at internet,they are secured,they are anonymous and are completely on what you can depend on.but since i don't prefer online wallets to users i always prefer a app or desktop wallet or a hardware wallet  or mostly a paper wallet. Since You Just need to control on your  private keys and if you don't have control over them at any wallet just stay away from those wallets.

[pooya87]

when choosing a bitcoin wallet you have to always be aware of the security level that bitcoin wallet is offering you. because bitcoin wallet is only safest if you keep it offline so whatever wallet you choose first try to find out more about it's security and ways to make it safer and always keep large amounts in cold storage only.

I would advise youto watch out with using blockchain.
I have just noticed,that it has changed my bitcoin deposit address,and if i have got it correctly,they change it every time i get payment,
and i ask them again for it.it is done to not track my whole transaction history,and maybe it works,
but i dont like the idea of having the address changed every time, it is just stupid.

[Digitalbitcoin]

There are already many more platforms for Bitcoin wallet as Desktop wallet, App wallet, hardware wallet and Web wallet.
Blockchain.info is a type of web wallet.
I personally say that Blockchain is really good wallet service if consider web wallet option.

As rumors and facts blockchain users lost there Bitcoins. Its true.

But if using blockchain wallet then must have to enable all major security features already provided by Blockchain security services.

[wintermeasures]

Blockchain.info is the best wallet and it has also a mixer service which is shared coin I think. But this is not fully anonymous because anyone can track your payments using your Bitcoin address..... But this is safe as compare to other Bitcoin wallets and it has less limitations as compare to other wallets....

You can reuse old addresses if you want to, but using a new address every time increases your privacy. If you always use a single address, then anyone that knows the address knows how many bitcoins you have, and they know where your bitcoins come from and where they go.

Try to avoid thinking of an address as something like a bank account number or a street address. Think of it as something like payment code.

Sorry, the draft got deleted when I had to go back because of the 360 seconds post delay thing, and I didn't see that my response wasn't saved. Here's what I meant to say:

Blockchain.info is the best wallet and it has also a mixer service which is shared coin I think.

The last time I tried using blockchain.info's wallet the shared coin feature was not available. I did some research and looks like they haven't been offering shared send for quite some time now.

If needed, there are some more to choose from https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet and choose WEB
Some details are also provided there.
Weird that the blockchain wallet isn't listed.

Web wallets are not the best for all people though.  If you are storing a large amount of  coins a offline solution is much better.  With web wallets it is a hot wallet, so chance of bad things.  Yes some have very good history... but always "could" happen.

Some offline storage like hardware wallets are going to up security huge compared to web wallet.  But they do cost money, so no everyone like's them so I can understand that.  But paper wallets are also a great option, and you can do them for free.  Just make sure you do it securely and on a "safe" computer as if computer is compromised you do it on could be giving private key right to "bad guy's".
