This is a great webpage due to the fact that you can click on any Wallet listed, and that will show you the 'goods' on the chosen Wallet.

A reputable on-line Wallet is a good answer for daily relatively small transactions.
But Please remember that a Cold Storage/Offline Wallet is the best possible Wallet for security reasons.
Refer to post http://iptvtalk.net/showthread.php?44771-Wallets-The-Basics

Any of your online Wallet's bitcoin can be transferred to an offline Wallet. That is where that 'phrase' comes into play, that you should have saved on a hard copy when you originally created your first online Wallet. That phrase allows easier transition of bitcoin from one Wallet to another Wallet, or one device to another device. Its like a universal password in that sense.

If you missed copying that phrase per that wallet, then simply spend or sell that coin in that Wallet and call it a test, never to open again:)
Step away and create another Wallet and maybe elsewhere if you did some researching :)
And this time save the phrase !

Your Wallet ID and Password would be your Private Keys. Them Keys are not always as secure as we would like thru online Wallets. The Wallet ID is stored online thru most all online Wallets, but the password would not be (or is it?).
At any rate, them Hackers have ways. And with a large Exchange/online Wallet service, the Hacker only has to hack the service and not hack one million individual Wallets. It's like a honey-pot in a hackers eyes.
So do not trust a large amount of bitcoin to be stored in an online Wallet :eek:


“If you don’t control the keys, you don’t control the coins”.
