    yeah, I use blockchaininfo and agree it is the best for sportsbooks withdrawals. But you will likely also need to open another account (like circle or coinbase) if you want to convert the bitcoins to dollars and send them back to your bank.

    You made the 100% best choice.

    Also sign up for coinbase.

    Send your blockchain coins to coinbase. Sell on coinbase and withdraw your $ to your bank account.

    But always use coinbase as the middle man.

    Blockchain is not bad.

    Armory is a great choice if you're going to keep your system offline, or have a strong understanding of computer security so you can harden your system against malware.

    My personal favorite is Breadwallet.

    Breadwallet is designed to be secure-by-default even for people with little or no understanding of computer security.
    Your keys are held encypted in the secure enclave, so you have strong protection even if the phone is stolen, and iOS is the best protected against malware of the popular computing platforms. There aren't many other options if you want a wallet that connects directly to the bitcoin network and runs on a locked down, hardware encrypted, malware hardened platform.

    Question, when I went to the blockchain website it said they don't take US customers. Is that just what they have to say and don't care or what?

    I can't remember, I just saw some members talking about it so I went to check it out. I am pretty sure it was blockchain but who knows it could have been a underground torcher sex shop

    I tried to go to the main page and the first thing that came up was a message saying they didn't take US customers

    Is it important to use different addresses in your wallet when getting withdrawals from a book or sending btc from one wallet to another? Any way to get your shit jacked if someone has your address?

    If someone gets a hold of that key string - you're fukked.

    So it's a good idea to spread your wealth between multiple wallets with various wallet providers.

    The attack can be carried out by insiders who don’t have to do much hacking at all. Just copy the database of private keys and then gain control of the bitcoins at all those addresses.

    If you own Bitcoin, what you actually own is the private cryptographic key to unlock a specific address. The private key looks like a long string of numbers and letters. You may choose to store your key, or keys if you have multiple addresses, in a number of places including a paper printout, a metal coin or a hard drive.

    But the best and probably the safest way to keep BTCs is not to keep them at all for a long period of time.
    Not just because of hackers, but because of the volatility and uncertainty on the BTC market.

    ...ohh and ALWAYS unable two-factor authentication

    Two-factor authentication codes are very hard to steal, unlike passwords.

    I got a wallet and a circle account just because I couldn't handle The Giant looking down on me anymore. He's still a giant and looks down on me though but I can see the respect in his eyes.

    You know I would never look down on you, Jake.

    And I'm not suggesting investing all your funds in bitcoin. I was just saying it's a good way to get your money in and out of books. I've only used Circle and a wallet, too, so you pretty much know as much as I do now. Enjoy!

    Yeah, I definitely put the two factor authentication on and set the highest security level/alerts. Just took some $ out of my BookMaker account to block chain and deposited it to Heritage. Took about an hour 15 minutes to hit my wallet, only about 15 min for the deposit to be accepted by Heritage. Pretty slick. Thanks for the info

    Coach remember what we talked about a few weeks back

    The Dollar has quickly dropped from 121 all the way down to 111-112 levels

    It's time to watch this pair much closely and slowly accumulate on the dips like that.

    Best of luck!

    What's the advantage to using blockchain if you're going to transfer to coinbase anyway? Why not just use coinbase for everything and forget about blockchain?
