Is it true that Xapo takes zero fee when transferring btc?
Or this is old information?

I dislike Xapo because of their customer support and I heard their debit cards we not any good. That's why I personally stick with ANX, Xapo seems kind of fishy. Their vault is useless, stick with cold storage.

I actually have a ANX premium card on its way to me. I do not like how the cards do NOT HAVE a persons name on it. Rather weird i dont understand reason. I mean come on they verify account but cant print name on cards is so weird.

Xapo is a true Bitcoin debit card linked directly to your Xapo wallet, unlike a pre-paid BTC debit card that requires users to transfer Bitcoin to the card. Just like any pre-paid Visa/Mastercard/Debit, ANX or otherwise, your wouldn't name would not printed on a card like that.

Monbux, I'd like to know what you mean by our vault being "useless". Did you have a bad experience personally you could tell me about?

I did have a bad experience, actually. I forgot how long ago exactly, but I remember I had some bitcoins stored in the "vault" and I needed some extra btc badly, and fast, and the vault stored the BTC I needed, It took me quite a while to get the bitcoins out! I know you'll say it was for security and stuff, and I'll go along with that. What I said above is not correct, I should have said; "In my opinion, I think their vault is useless." A cold storage offers the exact same features except for this "insurance", but it'll be much easier to get the BTC as for it is in your OWN possession. IMO, it's always safer when something is in your own possession.

Just my thoughts.

monbux,

Thanks for sharing your experience. To be clear about what the Vault is, and how we advertise it, the Vault offers advanced proprietary encryption and a highly secure process to move bitcoins offline, where they are stored in geographically dispersed locations and guarded by intense physical security. To many people with large amounts of BTC, who want the added bonus of insurance, the Vault is very useful, and worth the slight access delay. It's not designed or advertised to be for everyday transactions. If you need BTC instantly, you're better off keeping it in the main, hot wallet.

so i am just wondering what is the time frame to move funds from a " vault " to us personally if we wanted to have access to them. Should we give it like a day or 2 maybe 3 days ?

Thank you for sharing that information with us that does make a difference like you said. I was getting worried that maybe your coins was lost or stolen.

i dont think you will be getting any response, just for the record alot of debit cards in the USA come with your name printed. I personally have 3 cards i use that i load money at store like walmart but are prepaid cards. American express blue bird, greendot visa and the Rush mastercard. Just saying but we need cards in usa or canadian mail company to send cards to us folks in the USA Grin

3 withdrawls from here with zero issues so im gonna have to say they are not a scam at least for now

I dont personally think Xapo is a scam, i just am really mad i cant get a card sent to me in the USA. I am trying to find me a Canadian address or Canadian mail forwarding mail service to people in the USA. Trust me i really want this card but it is not being made easy for me to get this and dont see any good news in sight Cry

i would love that but the way the USA is it'll be a while before we see a decent BTC debit card i bet Sad

I thought there was going to be some crazy revolution in bitcoin since bitcoin ATM`s were coming out or something.

So no point in on btc debit cards.. unless they dont have the ATM`s at certain locations. I find the btc debit card situation no needed though, since it can be purchased through coin base.

coinbase too slow we want the card for faster access to the US dollars

Yeah coinbase is to slow for real life usage works great to buy and all but not to spend in real stores. I wonder why coinbase dont have a debit card seems weird and loss of profits

I don't know if it's a scam or not..
Why don't just use the original wallet where you'll have full control of it?

because with the full wallet you cant go to like walmart and buy stuff or cant go rent a hotel room right on the spot. I dont want to have to like hey wife lets go on a trip i will sell some bitcoin to coinbase and wait 3-5 days for coinbase to send me money to bank account lol. I want fast transactions and real time use like a normal credit / debit card Grin

uh, any website asking for ssn is asking for a identity theft.

outside from legit sites like verizon,tmobile, and other services that do need to run a credit check..but for bitcoin? please...

Or other legit services like virtual bank accounts... Etc
