Re: Which Wallet should be suggested to a newbie?

Don't use a site that doesn't give you full control of the private keys (e.g. Coinbase and any of the exchanges and ecash.io).

I saw a new one or maybe an old one, its called ecash.io. Any review/report on this?

There I fixed it.

But what are the chance of coinbase.com going haywire

Who knows?
Sure, Coinbase looks huge an seems it could be trusted now, but so was Mtgox before disclosing the hack and bitcoin loss.
