I think since you send your bitcoin to offline wallet and does not spread your bitcoin address you should be safe.

It does not matter if it is paper wallet or trezor(which i prefer more) but it cost 99$ and paper wallet few cents to print it.

If you want to be completely secure you should use a brain wallet or a Paper wallet. you can use Armory or Electrum to generate the paper wallet.

It's still not %100 secure. Actually it's one of the least secure thing. Paper can be destroyed easily, for example with water.

I think that you have not seen the last "hack" for the brain wallets.

Someone was able to "hack" to get the passphrase of the wallets and easily get the bitcoins.

I think were talking about security from others.   Paper can be laminated to make it  be more resistant.  Even can store copies on USB.  Just keep them safe.

As far as security if done right paper wallets really are very secure.   And you should store them where they are not effected by elements like water, or where others see them.

I use XAPO online wallet and I find it quite good and safe because each login they will send one time password to registered mobile number so I find it quite safe unless some one destroy their server it self then do not know. But those are worst cases and also if one think those worst cases then no wallet will be safe to use.

For large amounts of money, nothing beats a properly generated paper wallet. In my opinion, then a paper wallet is more safe than a trezor.

In desktop wallets, Bitcoin core is the safest because it downloads the entire blockchain history. Unlike electrum and multibit, there was a vulnerability which could have caused the loss of money a few months back as miners were spv mining.

hi,Im new on this and I was wondering what is the most secure bitcoin wallet ? is it fine if I continue with blockchain.info ? nothing to fear from ? I won't lose my BTC or anything else ? thanks
I don't know if I stick with Web-based or go to Desktop applications

The most secure wallet is one in which you maintain possession of your private keys. The easiest way to do that and still be able to easily make day to day transactions with complete protection against malware is to use a hardware wallet. Forget paper wallets or brain wallets.

There are several hardware wallets on the market but the most widely reviewed and accepted is Trezor. It is easy to learn to use, costs $99 and will also work with Mycelium wallet on your Android phone. Trezor has their own web wallet that works fine but you can also use it with several other wallets.

When you initialize your Trezor you are given 24 words (the seed) that you can use to regenerate your wallet if you lose it or break it. As long as you never lose that list of 24 words your bitcoin are completely secure. If you doubt the utility and security of Trezor just visit their website and read the reviews.

but downloading the entire blockchain isnt really good as it can affect your daily transactions IMHO

how does it affect the daily transactions you are doing? i run bitcoin core with the full blockchain and everything works perfectly fine. beside that, you are also helping the network as your client with full blockchain functions as a node.

maybe he means that the process of synchronizing with the network would take long for him. so if you want to spend your coins you have to wait a long time first before being able to do so.

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip.
Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

Coinbase is good and secured via f2a and i think the we need to secured our coins is to install updated anti virus because some trojan virus can collect your information.....

Multibit HD is my recommendation
1. Desktop wallet
2. Hardware wallet interface option
3. Hierarchically deterministic

But now a days people look for multi-signature wallet?

I think electrum is better than multibit hd, multibit hd has fewer options.

IMO, all of the wallets are somewhat safe and secure.

You don't know which one may be hacked, which is a perfectly possible event.
So I chose one with 2FA, mnemonic, phone access, and alias.

That is blockchain.info.

It also has relatively low fees, and the fact you can use private wallets.

My other wallets have been Hive, and Coinbase.

Hive was painfully basic, little to no security.


Coinbase's fees were a tad high and there was talk of lower security/hackages.

So, I swapped over to blockchain.info, which has all of the security options stated above, it has the same addresses, and it also *has the 5+ ways to download|backup your wallet!*

Seems pretty damn secure to me!

Yes, it is always possible to have your wallet be hacked, site wide.
Just like having Paypal, or some other big bank.
Just like having a bank being hold up and robbed at gunpoint.

But if you have 8+ ways to keep your shiz safe, there is def. no way your personal wallet will be hacked Smiley

Just my thoughts as a growing bitcoin newbie

If you mean about the encrypted link between a server and a client then most of the websites nowadays have implemented SSL.
It makes their website secure but the OP is asking about the wallet how secure is it, but coinbase wallets are not much secured.
They can be shut down at any time that the coinbase can be offline or out of the market, so your don't possess in your hand.
