Instead of saving in such wallets which dont even give you control over you private keys, better try Electrum wallet which charges reasonably. I am using it for past one year and i have not found any issues.Dont try to save a liitle and loose your entire savings.

Indeed , all wallets have fees. Services like Xapo not that they don't have fees but that they pay them for you and that's only to bring users to their platforms. I wouldn't even consider them as wallets as they don't give you control over your private keys in the first place.
I wouldn't mind using a few cents as transaction fees If I actually have control over my money while Its not the case in Xapo.
All online wallets have fees. But such thing as USB bitcoin wallet haven't. I use exactly this one, because I'm not so sure in an online wallet. Even if the security of online wallets and exchangers became better, there is risk to it be hacked any moment. So my choice is USB wallet.

well i don't know what that user means or why he is so mad but let me explain what is going on:

when you are using a bitcoin wallet you have to pay the fees because that is how bitcoin works, you need to pay a specific amount of fee per byte for every transaction you want to send. you can send with 0 fees but miners can also decide not to include your tx in a  block.

but when you are using a third party service instead of a wallet, such as xapo or i think coinbase too, they offer special features such as no fee to attract more users. but in fact they are paying the transaction fee from their own pocket and it is just a promotion.
also when you use these services you give up control over private keys and your money to them.

I tried a bit Xapo and it's rather good and WITHOUT FEES but of course you got no control over your money.

No wallet that give you control over your private keys/money will pay the fees for you.
End of discussion.

Hey guys!

I opened a thread not long ago to ask for opinions about web wallets!
I clearly asked for a wallet where I had no need to pay fees. I got multiple answers and I thank everyone for that.

I had a very unpleasant AND stupid private message from a Hero member so I thought about sharing both my tests and his message to you all.
There is no wallet without fees!!
And even if there would be one what do you think is going to happen with your transaction if you're not even willing to pay a single satoshi??!!
Right the miners will give a fuck about your transaction!!
Always amazes me how stupid and ignorant people like you can be.

So in addition to the special rudeness of the sender who prefered insults to explanation, there is also the simple fact that there actually ARE wallets without fees.
I tried a bit Xapo and it's rather good and WITHOUT FEES but of course you got no control over your money.

Greenadress seems like the best for me but it does have a fee.

Share your wallets ^^
