First, all my bitcoins in bitcoin-24.com got frozen, then in bitfloor and now the same thing will happen to mtgox?? Seriously, it took a month until I could access them again. Good that I know better now, because now I will withdraw all my bitcoins from mtgox immediately and transfer to coinbase...
- joezydeco 13y agoI'm getting mine out of MtGox and keeping them in an offline paper wallet. I would not hold them in ANY online wallet these days, especially Coinbase, given their recent problems.
- wellboy 13y agoYeah I should probably do that instead. Thx for the tip and also with Coinbase!
- wellboy 13y agoIs there a wallet that is in the cloud and safe of being shut down, because what if my hard drive crashes?
- dmm 13y agoYou need to look up what a paper wallet is.
- stinkytaco 13y agoBackup? Paper wallet? Really, there's just no reason to keep all your bitcoins any one place. Keep a couple in an online wallet for convenience, some on your hard drive for quick access, some on your phone and some in paper wallets. Or spread them across multiple computers. The flexibility is part of the appeal.
- jebeng 13y agoWhy are you constantly keeping bitcoins in these exchanges? If you had dollars locked up there, I could understand. i.e. you were in the process of purchasing bitcoins. But to repeatedly have your bitcoins locked up when you could have almost instantly transferred them to your own wallet at any time seems odd.
