Before trusting or sending your bitcoins to any website you should always search on additional community resources to see what other users are saying about the service First..
WHAT IS A WALLET>
A wallet stores the information necessary to transact bitcoins.
While wallets are often described as a place to hold or store bitcoins.
Due to the nature of the system, bitcoins are inseparable from the blockchain transaction ledger.
A better way to describe a wallet is something that "stores the digital credentials for your bitcoin holdings" and allows one to access (and spend) them.
Bitcoin uses public-key cryptography, in which two cryptographic keys, one public and one private, are generated.
At its most basic, a wallet is a collection of these keys.
The user must have complete trust in the wallet provider.
A malicious provider or a breach in server security may cause entrusted bitcoins to be stolen. So Select Wisely...
I recommend Block Chain or Payza.
If you decide to use a different wallet provider ALWAYS do a GOOGLE SEARCH Before Using.

The block chain is a public ledger that records bitcoin transactions.
The maintenance of the block chain is performed by a network of communicating nodes running bitcoin software. Transactions of the form payer X sends Y bitcoins to payee Z are broadcast to this network using readily available software applications.
Network nodes can validate transactions, add them to their copy of the ledger, and then broadcast these ledger additions to other nodes.
The block chain is a distributed database - to achieve independent verification of the chain of ownership of any and every bitcoin amount, each network node stores its own copy of the block chain.
Approximately six times per hour, a new group of accepted transactions, a block, is created, added to the blockchain, and quickly published to all nodes.
This allows bitcoin software to determine when a particular bitcoin amount has been spent, which is necessary in order to prevent double-spending in an environment without central oversight.
Whereas a conventional ledger records the transfers of actual bills or promissory notes that exist apart from it, the block chain is the only place that bitcoins can be said to exist in the form of unspent outputs of transactions.

Now Supporting Bitcoin Cash!
We're excited to announce that your Blockchain wallet is now offering full support for Bitcoin Cash!
You can get started sending, requesting, and exchanging today.
What is Bitcoin Cash?
Bitcoin Cash is a form of peer-to-peer electronic cash that was created after a fork of the Bitcoin block chain in August 2017.
Bitcoin Cash has since grown to be one of the top cryptocurrencies, along with bitcoin and ether.
How Do I Get Bitcoin Cash?
If you had bitcoin in your Block chain wallet before the fork in August, you already have Bitcoin Cash.
If you're new to Blockchain, you can get started with Bitcoin Cash by exchanging bitcoin or ether.
Please note:
For now, Bitcoin Cash will only be supported in your web wallet. Support in your mobile wallet is coming soon!
Your Transactions
Transactions occur when you receive and send Bitcoin Cash.
REMEMBER you will already have Bit Coin CASH and ETHER Wallets Set up within your Block Chain Network.
Q. What is Bitcoin?
A. Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer currency. Peer-to-peer means that no central authority issues new money or tracks transactions. These tasks are managed collectively by the network.
Q. How does Bitcoin work?
A. Bitcoin uses public-key cryptography, peer-to-peer networking, and proof-of-work to process and verify payments. Bitcoins are sent (or signed over) from one address to another with each user potentially having many, many addresses. Each payment transaction is broadcast to the network and included in the blockchain so that the included bitcoins cannot be spent twice. After an hour or two, each transaction is locked in time by the massive amount of processing power that continues to extend the blockchain. Using these techniques, Bitcoin provides a fast and extremely reliable payment network that anyone can use History
Bitcoin's public ledger (the "block chain")
Was started on January 3rd, 2009 at 18:15 UTC presumably by Satoshi Nakamoto.
The first block is known as the genesis block. The first transaction recorded in the first block was a single transaction paying the reward of 50 new bitcoins to its creator.
Bitcoins: Cannot be printed or debased. Only 21 million bitcoins will ever exist.
Mining is the process of adding transaction records to Bitcoin's public ledger of past transactions (and a "mining rig" is a colloquial metaphor for a single computer system that performs the necessary computations for "mining").
This ledger of past transactions is called the block chain as it is a chain of blocks.
The block chain serves to confirm transactions to the rest of the network as having taken place.
Bitcoin nodes use the block chain to distinguish legitimate Bitcoin transactions from attempts to re-spend coins that have already been spent elsewhere.
Mining is intentionally designed to be resource-intensive and difficult so that the number of blocks found each day by miners remains steady.
Individual blocks must contain a proof of work to be considered valid.
This proof of work is verified by other Bitcoin nodes each time they receive a block.
Bitcoin uses the hashcash proof-of-work function.
The primary purpose of mining is to allow Bitcoin nodes to reach a secure, tamper-resistant consensus.
Mining is also the mechanism used to introduce Bitcoins into the system:
Miners are paid any transaction fees as well as a "subsidy" of newly created coins.
This both serves the purpose of disseminating new coins in a decentralized manner as well as motivating people to provide security for the system.
Bitcoin mining is so called because it resembles the mining of other commodities: it requires exertion and it slowly makes new currency available at a rate that resembles the rate at which commodities like gold are mined from the ground.
Pools
As more and more miners competed for the limited supply of blocks, individuals found that they were working for months without finding a block and receiving any reward for their mining efforts.
This made mining something of a gamble.
To address the variance in their income miners started organizing themselves into pools so that they could share rewards more evenly.
The Pay-per-Share approach
The Pay-per-Share (PPS) approach, first described by BitPenny, is to offer an instant flat payout for each share that is solved. The payout is offered from the pool's existing balance and can therefore be withdrawn immediately, without waiting for a block to be solved or confirmed. The possibility of cheating the miners by the pool operator and by timing attacks is thus completely eliminated.
This method results in the least possible variance for miners while transferring all risk to the pool operator.
The resulting possibility of loss for the server is offset by setting a payout lower than the full expected value.
