I use blockchain because its the safest online wallet

Are you serious?
Did you read what happend to me yesterday?

Someone have got same private key as I have @ blockchain.info wallet.

And when he recieve money I can transfer them to my another address. This is safe you say?

No this is incorrect.

Somebody posted their private key in public, and you decided to import their private key (and address) into your wallet.  Then you forgot that you did this and panicked that you had the same address as someone else.

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

Don't use blockchain.info wallet IMO

I have a better suggestion.  Do not take advice from roslinpl, IMO.

Yesterday I found someone is in possession of my private key from my address that I have @ blockchain.info

No, you didn't.

and blockchain.info write me back :
"I am sorry to hear of these transactions that you did not initiate. I would also highly advise against ever using this compromised wallet again, as someone else clearly has the private keys in it. Changing your password & adding 2FA won't matter if the user has control of the private keys for that address. You need to never use that address or other addresses in that wallet again, set up a new wallet with new passwords & addresses, and enable Google Authenticator with that."

You imported someone else's private key, and then wrote to support asking about seeing someone else's transactions.  What did you expect them to say?

So they do not feel the problem - just I need to never use my address again ... not nice and not good.

They gave the best advice they could under the circumstances.

And how come it is even possible that someone have got my private keys?
Crazy.

No, what is crazy is that you imported someone else's private key, and then panicked that you could see their transactions.  Then you stole some money from them.

And is funny - I had only one address @ blockchain.info

Another address with same private key that someone else have was added to my wallet without me.

No.  It was you who intentionally imported someone else's private key.

CRAZY

You said it.

I'd recommend bitcoin qt also but yea do play it safe and make sure your coins stay in your control. 
Bitcoin QT is the official and safest client but far from the easiest to use.
Multibit is simple, safe, has a good interface and syncs extremely fast.

How many of you here are using multibit over bitcoin qt?   I want to start an additional wallet, but haven't decided which one to use...  a lot of people seem to like multibit, but I already use litecoin qt for LTC, so bitcoin qt, seems like the easiest move...
