[QUOTE="JayJuanGee, post: 458253, member: 5330"] It certainly can make a difference if you actually attempt to put any of the cryptos to use and then on a personal level deciding whether to learn about one wallet or another and what is more or less convenient depending on how much of any of the particular cryptos you hold and how much risk you are willing to take. First, regarding blockchain.info as a wallet. I have some bitcoins there, and I think that it is pretty good as a wallet in terms of security and being available on the internet from anywhere in the world. I have never used it for any other kind of crypto, and I am not sure if it is capable of such. Second, regarding anonymity, these tend to be questions of degree and from whom you want to be anonymous. Blockchain.info does allow you to make multiple addresses and there are developing more and more ways to remain anonymous, but since bitcoin is on a public ledger, there is likely less anonymity than what people used to believe to be possible and even practical a few years ago. Third, your example seems to be talking about security rather than anonymity, and your example seems to demonstrate that it could be possible to have blockchain wallet's security breached.. does DDOS mean the target person could not access the wallet or that the target person lost funds? fourth, your recommendation to use another wallet may be all fine and dandy in theory, but when you actually have coins, you could weigh the risks and convenience differently.. and sure guys may vary in their ideas about whether one method is preferable or not to their particular circumstances. Sure, I understand that, and part of the reason that I asked you was to attempt to hear about some of your personal experiences regarding various coins, and those kinds of experiences could be helpful to be or for other guys to consider.
