The safest wallet?

[DuddlyDoRight]

Hardware wallets are more secure than paper wallets as unlike a paper wallet which cannot be imported on a compromised system, HW wallets can. We at betbybitcoin are doing a competition to win one on the cheap:

There are three safe methods of storing your bitcoin.

1 - Paper wallet (Printed could be infected with malware, and take records of your private keys)

2 - Cold storage (Arduous to use, expensive to set up)

3 - Hardware wallet (Needs to be initialised on a 100% clean computer, otherwise seed could be found)
 

clean computer is a must, yes.  but just fyi, the keepkey displays the seed words (12, 18, 24, etc) on it's display, not the computer's monitor/graphics - so this hardware wallet adds that additional layer of abstraction.

Blockchain.info is the best wallet

none of the web based wallets is 'best'.  they are convenient, and handy to have on your phone for your everyday wallet.  but for true 'best' one must control ones private keys, hence a paper or hardware wallet should be considered for ones "real" personal BTC bank. (anything that would be devestating to lose)

transfer from your hardware to your web/phone wallet as needed.  keep the real funds more protected.

I use blockchain.info, never found error. I think you must trying wallet from blockchain.info, and then i have private key , so if any problem my bitcoin not lose.

[marcoman22]

I too save my bitcoins in electrum. it is safe to store btc here. They provide you a seed during sign up which can be used for recovery of your wallet even when your laptop gets corrupted. Better to copy the seed in a paper for future use.

I use blockchain.info, never found error. I think you must trying wallet from blockchain.info, and then i have private key , so if any problem my bitcoin not lose.

Obviously 90% will suggest to use blockchain.info as it is official version and our cryptocurrency is totally safe on their hand. If you still want to use 3rd party wallet is upto your thinking, I don't use any party wallet so I guarantee what they could do to your account

Blockchain.info IS NOT THE OFFICIAL WALLET!!! Most people will in fact NOT RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE THEIR WALLET. Their service has had multiple security issues and vulnerabilities in the past. Furthermore, they ARE a third party wallet. You do not control your Bitcoin if you store it with them; they do. Should their service shutdown, you will lose all access to your Bitcoin.

Blockchain.info IS A SERVICE, NOT THE BLOCKCHAIN. THEY ARE NOTHING OFFICIAL.

Yes it's a bullshit situation when they named themselves BLOCKCHAIN, now every newbie will be confused about it.

However you can still use them as a MULTISIG system.


Make a 2/3 multisig wallet, keep 2 keys on paper offline (where 1 key is stored for longterm, and 1 key is for immediate use),and 1 key at blockchain.info's wallet.

Then you just use the immediate paper key and the blockchain wallet to authenticate a  transaction.

If blockchain.info gets hacked, then you create another multisig. If you forget 1 paper key or the blockchain login, then you use the other paper key as the 2nd key.

from what i have read on this post, i agree there is no official and safest wallet in this world.
But still, i use blockchain.info to create my wallet. I still learning about this world of cryptocoin, and looking forward to make my own cold storage or USB wallet thing. cheers

[Bedebah]

Blockchain.info is the best wallet

Yes I agree, I use more than 2 years and never found problems. I never try and use others wallet after know Blockchain.info. For me, Blockchain.info is very secure, and fast than coinbase, xapo or other web wallet.

The safest wallet would definitely be a dedicated cold storage setup, when set up correctly. Or even a ledger/trezor wallet.

Depends on your place located like here in the philippines we have our online wallet which is coins.ph that is so accessible.

Um... coins.ph isn't necessarily the safest wallet around. I have no idea why you even had the balls to mention that site.

At the moment the safest wallet in the world is probably Trezor - not any single confirmed case about loss of coins.
Blockchain.info has been "hacked" already by Johoe and he returned the coins to them on Trezor.

Please bear in mind: "if you do not hold your private keys, you do not own your coins"

Also you have  https://copay.io/ they wallets for every platform and it is open source and works with Trezor perfectly.

Lol. Just another noob whos shilling unrelated shit. Google drive fanboy. Makes me laugh hard.
Google drive is not a bitcoin wallet and not really meant for storing private keys or bitcoin. Its a stupid thing to do. Theres so much bitcoin wallets out there. Just get one.

I use core and now install dark wallet for anonymous transactions

We actually ran the competition at a loss due to getting less than 20 entrants however the importance of promoting use of hardware wallets, signing transactions in a secure element is needed. I have enough technical knowledge that I take pains over and over to mention why hardware or multisig wallets should be used. Private keys should not even touch your system RAM for good security.

Oh look an argument.. I think this is actually better than seeing the billionth taiwanese or indian or philippine or israel poster tell use the most secure methods while not knowing any of the technical details, or what is commonly known as the average bitcoin service startup owner tell us what is best..

[virasog]

Depends on your place located like here in the philippines we have our online wallet which is coins.ph that is so accessible.

Yes, I agree with you, it totally depends on where you are located because there are some country that have their own coin and online wallet that makes their country men feels easy and to those who does not have they uses blockchain.info

[Vasilije69]

I think USB flashdrive wallets are the safest.

[eaLiTy]

I think USB flashdrive wallets are the safest.

It is safe if you have the back up in another flash drive as you never know when these drives stops working,but it is better than saving your coins online.

May be they do have a billion population and they do have their own opinion regarding things   you being an expert why dont you shed some of your technical expertise when it comes to the safest wallet and i am not aware what the average bitcoin service startup owner consider best,can you explain that to me as i have never met someone in person nor read their posts.

For beginners, I think blockchain.info is the best choice as it is easy to create the wallet, to use it, and you can access this anywhere. Also, I think the site has no restrictions in most countries. At least so far, I don't know any country that prohibits its use.
