Xapo has been the best wallet online currently TBH. They have been dealing with lots of btc everyday and even rewarding their customers with free btc for no work. It can be considered safe, but remember, don't put bitcoins on any online wallet, always use desktop wallet for storing your coins.

I never know that Xapo gives free btc.
Do you mean faucets that are paying directly to Xapo? If so, it is not Xapo who gives free credit, they just offer a free direct payment from those faucet providers

The faucets work like this.
The amount payed comes from the xapo holders (so your XAPO Wallet)

Which makes it easy to enter your XAPO btc address or even user account details, because the transaction stays on the XAPO network.

They are safe but their customer service sucks

Xapo's customer service is far better than blockchain's customer service,it's like a bike and snail,blockchain.info took about a week or more just to get replied by their customer service,xapo is not that suck if you compare it

Every case and problem is different. I honestly doubt that Blockchain's support has so many tickets pending that it takes a week to respond to their customers.
We can't generalize which support is superior and from my experience the most common problem is bad management/lack of security of users accounts.
And if that is the case - every online wallet provider is the same.

Like in this case:https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/blockchain-wallet-hacked-and-all-fund-has-been-taken-out-1516588

It's safe so far since it enforces 2FA but I only store small amounts there. I use XAPO mainly to receive dust from genesis mining cloud mining. XAPO do not charge transaction fees for sending bitcoins.

Post your ann & bounty just contact me

im use xapo more than 1year and it's very safe.
the 2fa is very safe , no 3rd aplication to acces 2fa, only sms/call verification or 2fa use xapo android app.

Never trust an online service with your Bitcoin.

Always store it your self.

I do not use wappo wallet because we have a local wallet in our country , i think xapo could be a safe wallet like other people said it is one of the most safe wallet . And it has a very great feature , and its faucets and faucets games , the rewards from there are instantly sent directly to xapo wallet . Ive tried to use it before because of their android game that givea satoshi and it was great .

I think they are really trusted comapny i sore my Bitcoin ther now since 2 years !
and i own a Bitocin Faucet that pays via XAPO API and it works now since 1 Year great !!!
The bettest think on XAPo is that they charge no fees for transaktions, thats pertty fine for Faucets !
Since newest time they also provide a Credit Card(Master Card) but i not orderet it will test the Debit Card soon !

kind regards

The wallet is safe and can be used, they have outstanding service and I think there never been big problems with them in the overall.
I had good experience and I think a lot of people are also agreeing with it.

The customer service is okay from Xapo's, I must say that its really depending on the person they are helping.
Some have a positive feedback and some a very negative, its also laying about the problem in my eyes.

In my experience the service was just so bad they at first sight not even reacted to my ticket, I'm still angry about it because they have still not resolved my problem completely.

This is saying enough about what he said, and that is that its depending on the person, I never had any problems with the wallet so I also never used their customer service to be honest.

Xapo sometimes doesn't send the verification codes via the mobile and hence you can be anytime locked out of your account.

It's better to have 3 wallets with 20% of your money stored in each one, so that if you lose access to one at anytime, you don't lose all your coins. Xapo support is good though and it's best used for faucet earnings.

I also experienced problem that sometimes Xapo don't send sms verification code. But it's quite good online wallet. But I don't like that I can't check how much coins totally I received and send due to multiple Xapo wallet adresses.

I think the wallet is okay and that nothing is wrong with it, they are safe and their service is way better than other wallets at the moment.

So, i'm just starting out and I got Xapo in order to collect some satoshi to play around with. I was wondering if Xapo is safe to use? It lets me instantly transfer money from faucets to my wallet so I don't have to "collect X amount before cashing out". I've heard that online wallets can be insecure, should I get a safer (desktop?) wallet and transfer what I collect there, or will I be fine using Xapo? Thanks!

if you want to earn from faucet , i think that is no problem if you use xapo, well if faucet pay directly via xapo , nothing you can do

Well, right now it is safe and it has a lot of users especially faucet users. however, anything can happen in the future and no one can really predict where this company is headed to.

So I suggest that if you are storing a large sum of BTC, go for cold storage instead.

It is safe as long as you don't care storing your bitcoins to some 3rd party online website. Beside that XAPO requires identification documents going against bitcoin philosophy in its core to be anonymous (pseudo anonymous). Why not use a desktop wallet like Multibit HD for newbies or Electrum ? All they need is a clean OS before installing them, and keeping the OS clean even after installing them and of course saving the passphrase to restore them. Compared to them XAPO is less secure as it is a 3rd party online wallet which take care of your coins while in desktop wallet you are in charge of your bitcoin and thats the way bitcoin is supposed to be, you and only you the owner of the coins to be in charge.
