Inputs.io, Are They OK?

[seafarer124]

Considering changing to Inputs.io from Bitcoin QT client as I have had computer issues which make me a little nervous on the safety issue, ie. losing access to my BTC QT.

I have had a look at the Inputs.io and it appears to be quite good.

Any comments are appreciated.

It's a web wallet so, you always have the risk I guess.

Just back-up your wallet.dat file on a USB or two and you should be fine.

I like them allot! Transactions are super quick

Use a spv client (multibit), the web wallets are not safe in general.

Why does multibit have a red cross and a red line through "https"?

Bad idea in general to keep all your coins in an online wallet. It's worth the work to resolve those "computer issues" instead.

Inputs.io is a safe (online) wallet. It isn't as secure as an offline wallet, but one of the best imo.

I prefer blockchain.info with 2FA, but inputs.io seems safe AFAIK.

Been using  inputs.io for quite sometime. (TF is a trusted person AFAIK)
If you really need a desktop wallet, try Electrum.
I've had bad experiences with older versions of multibit.

I wouldn't use an online wallet for your main BTC storage, only for small amounts (i.e microtransactions). There is just too much risk to use them with larger amounts, maybe try something like Electrum for your offline needs.

blockchain.info or inputs.io both are fine for some daily amount. however, I electrum for savings.

The first thing I do these days is to look at the web site for an 'about us' which gives personally identifiable or business registration info such that I could go after someone if they cause me a loss through theft.  I currently favor blockchain.info because the proprietor is not afraid to use his real name.  I saw no such thing on inputs.io, and a quick search for an announcement thread here which might contain the information of interest yielded nothing.

If you want to have ultimate safety but you don't like bitcoin-qt, then try Multibit. I use it, and it works really well, and fast too!

inputs.io is fine, never had any issue so far
