Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

Indeed, that's because Blockchain.info doesn't control your wallet. That's not the case if you were to make one on Coinbase.

o.k you have to have a place to store (wallet) you will Bitcoin. And here's how to make your Bitcoin wallet account: Go to the following website BlockChain: https://blockchain.info/id/wallet/new To fill out the registration form please follow the steps as follows: Alias: can be filled with your name or other text that is useful to help log into your wallet. Password: Your password must be at least 10 characters with a combination of letters, numbers and symbols. Remember passwor you make, because there will be no password reset feature that can eventually make you lose your wallet account. Captcha: captcha contents according to the characters that appear above it. If you are finished, click Continue and you can log in to the wallet that you created above. Once you are logged in to the wallet that was created earlier, you will be given the address wallet as a means to receive and send bitcoin. Address your wallet in the form of a mixture of numbers and hutuf example: 19ZZ8DZsb5qhtchuKPZWET7Uj8rDoj4KgmB.

You can't go wrong with Blockchain,info they don't have access to your wallet or private keys. you just have to keep your computer secure which is easier said than done.

And also be wary of phishing attacks. Many have been done in the past with Blockchain.info, and I recall one that even appeared on the first link while searching for Blockchain on google.

I like Coinbase or Blockchain, I'm thinking of shuffling over my coinbase coins to Blockchain anyways. It looks like an online wallet, but acts like a wallet you'd have on your desktop.
Now, if coinbase had interest on the BTC that'd be a different story... But I'll shuffle my coins away from Coinbase and onto electrum or Blockchain...

Coinbase has the small advantage of paying tx fees out of their pockets, but blockchain.info really is more secure.

coinbase or blockchain
don't go over to a 3rd party
who knows what could happen, these are trustworthy
but don't keep your coins there too long
there was a trustworthy wallet too somethingsomething.io it was called
everyone lost their coins..
don't make their mistake..
Blockchain is trustworthy, because you don't have to trust them. When making a wallet there, you stay in control of your coins, and you can even download a file which let's you import your private key to an offline wallet in case the website fails.

I know this is somewhat irrelevant to your post, however, there's been times when Coinbase has failed to help a customer if their accounts was hacked, or even freeze their balance. coinbase or blockchain

most of these wallets are really that great unless its a light weight wallet.
eg: multibit - light weight wallet that doesnt download the whole network etc. (faster acceptance)

I would suggest the blockchain.info wallet, with a strong password not used before and 2FA enabled. As others mentioned, the good thing about blockchain.info wallet is that you are the only one having access to your private keys.

I doubt a newbie would download the private keys if the site goes down you lose the coins? Why wouldn't he? If someone is not ready to do some simple steps to protect his coins, then the Fiat system might be a better and safer place for him.

I recommend greenaddress.it, they have been my go to wallet for most of my funds (Until I got into hardware wallets). They are a multisignature wallet, which adds a huge layer of security. Its really easy to use and accessible on the go to.

Never had a problem with blockchain.info. Blockchain is good option. It is true. Very good for small amount, but for bigger amount you should use traditional wallet at your PC. But I prefer to not use any middle man. It is question of security. It is like leaving funds on the Exchange. It can crash anytime.

These are not really online wallets. I would suggest just sticking to something like localbitcoins. I don't trust online wallets but with localbitcoins the possibility of all the funds being hacked are less likely. But it works very well as an online wallet.

Why is it ok for small amounts but not large? It should either be good and safe or not. I think blockchain.info isnn't any less safe than a desktop wallet especially if you don't know what you're doing. I think the key is making sure you're safe and protected because if you're not you can lose your coins whether you store them online or on your desktop.

Internet-based wallets store your private keys online. These wallets are unusually controlled by a third party via the Internet. Some of these online wallets can be connected to mobile and desktop wallets, duplicating addresses on various devices. One of the greatest advantages of online wallets remains its accessibility — you can access your funds anywhere where there is access to the Internet. The greatest disadvantage of such wallets lies in the involvement of a third party — someone else controls your funds bringing the users back to centralisation. Most reputable online Bitcoin wallets are Coinbase, Circle, Blockchain, and Xapo.
Whatever Bitcoin wallet you choose, it is important to protect it from hacking. By encrypting your passwords, backing up your wallet, and possibly using multi-signature you can ensure safety and security of your Bitcoins.

Hackers have been trying to break into blockchain.info for many years now, with minimal success. I used to keep my coins there, as it offers a decent wallet, which is safe and secure. However, I moved most of my coins to offline storage around a year ago.

For blockchain.info, your wallet file is first encrypted on the client side before uploading to their server, so they don't and can't control your bitcoin indeed. There are also multisig online wallets like greenaddress.

I'd not recommend online wallets, even bc.i.... Last month (March), bc.i had some incident which prevented their coins being confirmed by miners (iirc they were disconnected from bitcoin nodes network). And sometimes their HTTP goes down, it's not that uncommon. Of course someone will say 'you can export & import' but it's not that easy for n00bs.
