[Nanda Dewi277]

I suggest if you have a lot of save in Desktop Bitcoin Wallet and if it has a little Bitcoin should be stored in an online wallet

Not really in my opinion because on the online wallets naked to keep your own private keys and therefore your funds are not 100% secured you are trusting the site operator which can be scammers in some cases to keep your coins in a nice secure manner and not run with it themselves.

I'll just leave they are very convenient so I suggest you keep only a portion of your savings on online Wallace and the rest and cold storage

Can you send any type of coin you get to blockchain.info?   I have lots of coins from smaller startups

 BlockchainInfo not recommend

Could you explain why you think blockchain isn't recommended?

There may be many other online wallets which are considered good and secure but the only one wallet i have been using since my first visit to the internet is "XAPO". I never had any issues with this wallet that's why i can recommend this to you.

Note: I think this thread should move to web wallet board.

Hi all, are online wallets safe to use?   maybe on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the most safe

They are safe to use if you are using them with small amount of bitcoin transactions. But if you've got a lot of it to store, then simply don't rely on them. But there are also online wallets that are building their trust and reputation to their customers, although still don't be confident because anything can happen to them, like being attacked or collapsing.

Of course, many people are using different online wallet like a block chain, coin payment, XAPO, Coin base, etc. But for me, I am using blockchain only because now they are providing lot security features, so you can comfortably secure your wallet without any problem.

You don't need to scare of bitcoin online wallet nowadays, technology is advanced and they are (online wallet Developer) very considerate with security issues. Email confirmation, sms confirmation, and google authenticator is strong enough to make users comfortable to use online wallet.
The best you have if you use bitcoin online wallet is everything is instant and simple. You'll not worries your wallet will be lose accidentally like install mobile wallet on your smartphone.
