Xapo or blockchain?

[Cast12]

If you are looking to store a small amount of bitcoins, then probably Xapo as there are no fees for transactions. If you want to use a large amount of bitcoins though, I'd suggest a desktop or paper wallet since online wallets can be hacked.

Xapo good for new users who earn bitcoin from the faucet, because no charge.

but for me, I choose blockchain.info, as they are known and trusted.
I've been using blockchain.info for several years without problems and very safe with adds 2FA.

Neither of them are safe, they can be hacked or be scammers(this is very unlikely though)I do have some coins in oline wallets, but not a lot of them. I'd prefer to use desktop wallets since they can't be hacked(or if they can, it would be pretty hard to do).

[Bitcoin0916]

I use both (XAPO and Blockchain) I like blockchain because have private key, so it is good for save big amount and I use XAPO for transactions every day because fast and no fees

Everything can be hacked even if you use a desktop wallet, it's depending on how to keep your computer safe from malware.

if we use 2 factors authentication maybe we can decrease opportunities for hacked, until now my account is safe using 2fa from google

xapo because free send

Yeah its free
so far for low transaction and storing my spendable amount i used xapo, and used blockchain for high amount. I personally really like wallet where i can controll my private key, since xapo provide zero fees then im ok with that but only with the amount that i can tolerant.

You are right about that, I like the blockchain more to be honest because its more trusted and has a nice dashboard plus there security is also pretty good.
Another thing is that they have some nice options for your wallet.

I''m also more into the blockchain because it has some great features and its also very secure.
Its already a long time in the game too and that is pretty good for a online wallet.

[Adrorecia]

The blockchain is a very nice wallet and its a online wallet so that is nice and it has good features so that makes it even way nicer if you are asking me.
Its good options and a lot of security options too.

That's truth... If your machine is infected, don't matter what wallet you use, online or desktop...
If you have a big amount, use a papper wallet.

It will be vary hard to hack blockchain.info wallet because even if attacker will got access to their server user's wallet are encrypted.
Same with password to your account, blockchain.info has not access to it. First they would need to decipher it.
You can always make a copy of your private keys and export your  blockchain.info's wallet data to Multibit or Bitcoin Core as well.

This is like asking:  Which is shittier, the dump I took this morning or the dump I took yesterday morning?  Answer:  They are so close, it's impossible to tell.

I'm not trolling.  That's just how it is with those two wallets, and I wouldn't trust either one of them.

[NewInCryptoCurrency]

The blockchain is the best online wallet, its trusted got nice security options for login and its also the fact that the options in the wallet itself are very good, they are having a nice website for their online wallet.

The blockchain wallet is the best and I think that its the best online wallet there is available right now, it has a great future and its good too.

Lately i have read some problems with xapo and blockchain, So better avoid both to keep higher amounts. I have used both in the past and ofcource i have those accounts now too, but haven't transacted more than 0.2 BTC in xapo. In blockchain i didn't do any transaction

I am using coinbase from the beginning and transacted more than 2 BTC and found no problem there, my advice is store only very less bitcoins in web wallet, if you are going to use more than 5 BTC better to use desktop wallet which is more secure than web wallets.

The point is never trust any 3rd party for storing your bitcoin, it's better to storing them on your own pocket.
anyway i'm suprise that you transacted more than 2 bitcoin on coinbase, is just calculated or you stored all of them the 2 bitcoin out there, due to coinbase and xapo is similar, you can't own the private key i saw many cases that people account in coinbase and xapo are frozen since they did something wrong against their rules like used their service for gambling, at least in blockchain you have own control over your private key, so no one can't freeze your money, whatever you do with your money.

Right now its the best online wallet there is indeed, it only has fee''s and Xapo does not have to so that is the downside of the blockchain.
Other than that the blockchain is way better.

[a7mos]

in the old blockchain web wallet, they allow users to get their private keys. So if it is still available in the new wallet I will vote for it as in xapo you do not control your coins or your addresses at all. but it is better to stop using web wallet

[StarofBTC]

it is better to stop using web wallet

That is the point I am standing right now. I never prefer to go with any online wallets as I am a big hater of PayPal system, also I'm hating all the services resemble Paypal like controlling our money. Online wallets are killing the basic concept of bitcoin system, no central authority. I never want to deviate from basics of bitcoin systems.

I use both (XAPO and Blockchain) I like blockchain because have private key, so it is good for save big amount and I use XAPO for transactions every day because fast and no fees

Online wallets are good and I prefer blockchain above it because it has more feutures and is due to that way better than others.
I really think its better with it all.

I've never used the Blockchain wallet myself, mostly because the idea of sending the private key across the net doesn't look quite safe to me. It's true that you don't have access to the keys if you are using a Xapo or Coinbase wallet, but even if your key gets sent through an encrypted channel like https, you are still vulnerable to a MITM attack (man-in-the-middle attack). A few years ago the Blockchain wallet keys of a number of darknet users had been successfully intercepted by an exit node of the Tor network, and their coins got stolen.
