Did you already lose your BTCs on an online Wallet?

[jacktheking]

Nope. So far my online wallets at various places like Blockchain.info still contains what should be inside. If you know how to secure yourself then you will be fine. However ... much still relays on the web wallets provider security.

This is the online wallet I've been using from the beginning and I find it very secured and easy to use that's why I'm very confident that its security is tight enough.

For sure blockchain is the most secured online wallet because of its blockchain technology that bitcoin is using.

But I think all of online wallets are secured they just tend to say that they were hacked or breached just to cover up their hidden agendas.

I never loss my bitcoin in online wallet, until I use 3 online wallet, blockchain, coinbase and xapo. For xapo and coinbase also have vault option to more secure. Sometimes I also use exchanger wallet. My tips is always use 2fa for login and send our bitcoin and save to vault for big amount.

I've lost only 0.01 BTC once when I carelessly forgot to write down my blockchain.info wallet identifier and didn't set up email confirmation on that account. That was the only time though and the rest of the times nothing bad has happened.

Just remember to always back up your wallet identifier on blockchain.info.

You didnt get   the  point  of  OP actually. He means  about  lossing some  bitcoins  inside  already on your wallet, still  you  have the access into it.  You are  reffering  to a situation  on which  on  how   you lost   your bitcoins.  Regarding  to  the   problem  of OP,  so far  i dont have  any problems  with  blockchain.info wallet.. I didnt experience  lost   on  my bitcoin and  i didnt  even  hear even  one  situation  that this  kind of thing  happen from other  users which  means  blockchain is safe somehow.

biggest problem with online wallets was downtime when I needed to transfer coins and errors in the transactions that have been corrected later.

still no losses due to online wallet hacking

but mostly due luck and because I don't put much money and not for long in online wallets

Which wallet are you talking about here?

I use only one online wallet - blockchain.info and so far I encountered zero issues with it.
People are notorious spreading misconceptions about this wallet and it got removed from bitcoin.org list of 'good' wallets.
Because their recent DNS problems are sufficient reason for that. But I still think that among other online wallets with far worse ToS (Xapo, Coinbase) blockchain is still the best.

I am also having a blockchain.info wallet with some balances always and I have the same address in my electrum wallet too. (I have blockchain web wallet to use in my office if I need to). So far, I am very comfortable with what I am doing and yes with zero issues.
Mobile phone wallets are serving same purposes of web wallets but I feel mobile phones are highly vulnerable to hacking.

In my experience i lost few bitcoins before in one online wallet name xapo.. but its long time ago and i can't login until now because of their delay verification. But it is just a small amount and i use xapo last year.
I contact the support but they said there is no problem about my account. until now i trying to recover it because maybe i have many bitcoins there because i many referral in xapo faucet before..

[ardentvolcanoes]

i haven't experienced to lose my BTC's from an online wallet but i think i am almost there before as I am using so many online wallets which is around 4 or 5 and then decided to abandon the other and stick with only one that has a lot of services in my country but right i am also using blockchain.info just to store my signature campaign earning.

But if we store our BTCs on desktop wallet, the risk continues, no? A hacker can invade our computer and steal the BTCs.

I think would be good if we could have more guarantees of safe. Who has big amounts of stored Bitcoins fear all the time be hacked.

The hacker should target you specifically to hack you In that case. So It's pretty much easy to protect yourself as long as you have an anti malware , anti virus and you don't download random executable files and definitely not brag about how much Bitcoins/Altcoins do you have in your wallet.

so i guess installing a hard wallet on a Linux OS can be a good idea as it has less risk of being attacked by a malware and you don't have to install an anti-virus. just an opinion.

[hakanbalta577]

Luckily i have not lost a single satoshi using any web wallet for any reasons.The wallets i have used so far are xapo,blockchain and block.io wallet but i never experienced issue like hacking,stealing or my account being locked.I hope it never happens with me in future also.

[Odien]

I never lost my BTC using web wallet but if a hacker comes he can steal you every Satoshi you have so to but more confident you can download Électrum. It's really trustful and personally I used and I'm using Électrum, it's the best wallet you can have

First time I see a veteran forum member giving a good feedback about Blockchain.info. I think this wallet is very demonized for many people in forum. Looks they had some problems on the past, but the only thing I can say is about my own experience with their service, and it's a good experience, I'm using this wallet for more than 1 year, no issues.

I already saw persons saying Blockchain.info steals your money when you reach to X amount stored in wallet. But I think it's not true. 

[acroman08]

Never. Thankfully, I have yet to lose any coins from any of my online wallet. I use both coinbase and blockchain.info and so far, there haven't even been any issues encountered.

Although this could be because my coins are just passing through. I receive some small amounts to both(about .1 or so /week) and I immediately send it to my mobile wallet. Sometimes I keep a bit online when I need to make payments, but I always keep it under .1 .

[mobnepal]

No i haven't lost any bitcoin because of hack but i think i have lost few mBtc because i have lost paper wallet file of bitcoin address.
I am using blockchain.info web wallet for daily transaction and never got any hack attempt or somthing, but there have been several hack attempt on my cex.io and btc-e.com account however luckily i don't have any bitcoin in those account during hack.

Lost few mbtc in bitfinex account when they got hack, i have withdrawn majority of bitcoin from them just few weeks before they got hacked.

I lost a fraction of my coins when Cryptsy closed down with a runner. I never really thought that would happen and I actually missed most of the important news about Cryptsy because I was busy with my studies at that time, so never really had a chance to cash out via a coin that was not blocked by cryptsy.

All in all it wasn't a big loss, however it is a very important lesson to be learned. Do not trust any online wallets that hold your account private keys for you. They may seem trustworthy but there will always be one or two of them closing down or getting hacked each year.

[Teemotje]

Luckily I never had this and I think its also in how you manage your online wallets and which one you of course choose to store them on, blockchain is as a example very trusted.
