use blockchain. Most convenient for me. Security is pretty good too, you control your private keys unlike coinbase. Also I get sent a backup of my wallet EVERYTIME I make a transaction or change to the account, so if blockchain were to go down, could import into multbit.
If you are using Blockchain.info please use 2FA - in the event that someone gets into your email and has the necessary information to log in, the only thing stopping them is 2FA. If you are keeping you're wallet on that same email address, use 2FA for that email address as well if possible. Better to be safe than sorry. |

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Unfortunately, I have it on mobile as well, which doesn't support 2FA, at least for windows phone. I do use a password generator, and this is a sample password that it would give me: IG'H})ZKDBLis9aHBw?!r8XiPFfY Think i'm pretty safe. Will consider 2FA if I have significant funds in there. |

Not even with social engineering, I have no clue what it is. Use a password manager with a equally long password xD

For local wallets I think Multibit is the best (and they are working on a new version that looks awesome). For convenience, blockchain.info FTW!

There was no virus or hack. It was a vulnerability of OpenSSL (details @ http://heartbleed.com/). If u r using Bitcoin-QT 0.9.1, u r safe. Otherwise, please read => https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=562409.0 |

I use Electrum, because it is a SPV (no need to download 19GB block data).  |

i have switched from bitcoin-QT to Bitcoin Android Wallet.
more user "friendly" (and more safe with password and restore system = erasing wallet is more secure after a transaction if your phone is stealh/broken).
bitcoin-QT ... have a to complex presentation now (and the QR code have missed in v0.9.x).
I use only this system in "NODE" restriction now...
