Think twice!

I just funded my Wirex account with DASH, to the adress provided by Wirex and funds went haywire!
There's already almost 9 days since the 1st transfer, no funds into my Wirex account. Support is totally lost, they sent me to ask Shapeshift about transactions...Why? It's your job, people!
Anyway, as I investigated, there were 2 DASH transfers, one is completely lost, was sent to a unknown BTC adress after Shapeshift made the exchange DASH --> BTC, and the 2nd transfer is still into the DASH adress provided by Wirex....

Result is I funded Wirex account with DASH and after 9 days, I got ZERO into account and POSSIBLY, all funds lost!

Maybe it's time to try a Wirex Card. These guys are really bringing the crypto world out in the "wild" real one.
They have both virtual and plastic cards that can be used either by verified or unverified users.

I might try the virtual unverified for the moment

Wirex’s bitcoin funded debit cards have seen favorable reviews. Now, users can use any popular cryptocurrency to fund their cards. Wirex has announced via press release that it has integrated Shapeshift, enabling “dozens” of the alternative cryptocurrencies supported by that platform. Shapeshift also posted the news on its blog.

Wirex offers both virtual and physical VISA and MasterCard debit cards. Customers can use the physical cards virtually anywhere, including to withdraw cash from an ATM. While VISA or MasterCard will charge fees, they are far lower than the exorbitant fees typically charged at Bitcoin ATMs. Wirex sees itself as a complete alternative banking solution. They allow users to hold both cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies on their site, filling many of the roles Banks generally fill.
