Yup, I had the exact same issue... Email code on old account was telling me I was entering the wrong 2fa... Turns out the codes were just arriving in spam...

The support helped me reset my password regardless, although it took a couple of weeks. Overall, I'd say it's an average exchange. Not the worst but not the greatest eiter. Could use some renewed infastracture but I guess they're of the mindset 'if it ain't broken, don't fix it'. They are a small team I think.

That's interesting, but reading that

I guess I won't be using it. Captcha works fine on all of my devices. The only times I've had an issue was when I didnt have an alternative to using a network that didn't have good anti-spam measures and was likely blacklisted by google. This has happened in crowded cafeterias sometimes, and I had to complete many more captcha itterations than usual. Other than that it hasn't been an issue. Although some might consider it a privacy issue.

I looked into their website and they claim to be enabling EUR accounts in the future:
https://www.starlingbank.com/current-account/euro-bank-account/

Until then, you have better options.

I had trouble with Monese (a similar neobank) in the past. I'm not in the UK so I can't personally open an account there, but somebody I had to pay an invoice to did... They kept telling him EUR IBAN accounts were imminent for account holders but so long that has yet to happen. The method currently used by them to take IBAN deposits is through a routing account, which is a no no if you're running a business looking to have invoices paid.

Overall, no IBAN/EUR account means you have limited use cases. And it's a great utility to have, so you'll be missing out of this service many other neobanks offer if you sign up to one without it.

I don't know if Trtansferwise<->Mistertango is presently an issue, but if it's not, Transferwise doesn't allow transfers to and from crypto exchanges presently from what it seems, so they could blacklist Mistertango in the future. That's based on the fact that mistertango allows direct BTC deposits in cooperation with their own exchange.

I've heard that the banks partnered with Transferwise don't have trust in Crypto. I'm sure TransferWise wouldn't want to take any risks. They're doing just fine by providing services for all purposes other than sending money to exchanges. Transferwise is doing too well without that so they wouldn't be in a hurry to change it, especially if it'd take risking their banking infrastructure which if you ask me is what drives users away from financial services.

Why would you be looking for a banking solution in EU? Have you tried local exchanges? It might just be easier for you to trade crypto in your currency.

On the other hand, have you checked for local banks that might have foreign currency accounts? You might be able to open an account in a bank in your country with USD or EUR? You could potentially save some money in fees this way, or save time too.

A small correction was bound to come. The dollar has suddenly started being stronger so foreign investors are cashing on that instead of the stock's value which in return draws capital out of investments. It'll be up again, the overall market sentiment is still positive.

It's good that there's a record of what's dead. Oftentimes as people lose interest in something nobody cares enough to capture and record what was left behind before it collapses completely.

On the other hand, I don't think there's a need for 'awareness'. Provided that it's easy to review market activity, then that indicator is more important. It's also easier to check if a coin is dead with live data rather than by looking at a static record.

Those 'approved' experts especially, are actually all paid shills. They'll often give out 10/10 reviews for a few bucks or a promise of tokens. It's just weird.

The issue with Wirex has always been the exchange rates. In my opinion, they employ a very dishonest practice of not disclosing that they have a fixed fee within their exchange rate. They advertise 0% fees for Crypto-fiat conversions but that's simply not true. Their prices have a stable deviation from live prices.

Sorry for responding to an old reply, but since this thread was bumped recently I thought, why not?

There's an free and open source alternative to f.lux:

I'm asking the question to see what people think about such ads in general, but I noticed it from the following ads.

This time around it's this ad:

In the weeks prior it was one by the same user:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5036496.msg46520165#msg46520165


Thanks for bringing this up. I've edited the OP with some definitions.

I've noticed recently that through several ad rounds that the forum holds, some of the advertisements were bought from parties seeking not to promote a product/service but instead attack the reputation of a third party.

I'd like to pose the question to see what the forum's members thing on the issue of whether or not attack ads should be allowed.

Edit:
Dictionary.com defined an attack ad as follows
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/attack-ad

I'm using it without the political notion (ascribed to it from American politics). The phrase consists of two words.
Attack
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/attack

advertisement

Who really pays for those attack ads?

First Changelly, then this. Are there any other 'instant' exchanges left to attack?

There might be a coordinated plot against competition here. Shapeshift was the leader in this space for a long time, but has maintained unfavorable margins that competitors are beating, thus offering a better service. Perhaps its investors are scared about losing their market share now that so much money has been poured in. They recently closed their smart contract project 'prism' too, after so muc development going into it.

Roger Ver and Erik Voorhees are key investors in Shapeshift.

Vorhees is known for duping investors with a project that didn't even get started after doing an IPO in bitcoin early days.


This scheme, may or may not have contributed to formulating Voorhees' bitcoin fortune and making him a 'key investor' in the space.

Ver on the other hand, built on Voorhees' concept from that failed IPO and build his own paid trolling network, paying people to promote his ideas. He used it extensively to pure vitriol on the bitcoin community and spread propaganda for his BCash altcoin.

Those two are not new to using subversive tactics to promote their personal agenda. I wouldn't be surprised if they had devised a plan to hurt the reputation of their competitors by manipulating public opinion.

Well, 16 reviews on trustpilot.com don't seem like a good sample to draw conclusions from... The group behind this bank is a listed company in the Frankfurt stock exchange. I'd be more inclined to trust them than most neobanks, especially after placing my trust with Mistertango and Leupay.

I think I'll try migrating to https://www.ferratumbank.com this time. Why isn't it on the list yet?

For me, using neobanks is a great utility because it saves money when you receive international payments. Banks in Greece where I am all have versatile web-services and great support but their fees aren't very competitive. With local banks I would have to pay 3 or 4 EUR for outgoing/incoming transfers out of other countries, and exchange on a huge and unfavorable spread whenever another currency would be sent to me, on top also of a % with a minimum of 5 EUR exchange fee.

So overall, if someone pays in currency other than EUR it'd be 4 EUR flat for incoming transfer from other country + exchange on spread of >=2% + 1% exchange fee out of total or 5 EUR whichever is greater. Crazy.

Ordering a new card was not free.  I was in need of another debit card and asked mistertango if I could have a replacement or new card because the free one I had gotten couldn't be used anymore (my fault for breaking it.)

I had paid for a card order recently with Mistertango staff actually confirming my order about a week ago.

Is the bank going to consider giving out refunds to recent card orders at least?

Mistertango was a wild ride. Good while it lasted but obviously struggled to find a sustainable model with its corporate identity. Perhaps they would have done better if they had secured sufficient funding to test the feasibility of their free option in the long term. Now, without a debit card, I don't see any advantages to their product when compared to any other alternative.

I wonder if there's any backstory with their card provider though. The change seems very abrupt and they were giving the impression they had a reliable partnership. This certainly does not not look like a good sign for the future of Mistertango.

For what it's worth, I had an order for a new card confirmed about a week ago... And I mean, I might not like Mistertango that much, but I really don't believe they'd dupe me for 10 EUR if they had prior notice of the card provider stopping to provide services to them. And they only gave a 5 days notice!

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that n26 uses transferwise as an option internally for cross-currency transfers (for example, EUR to UK). My experience for the last couple of months at least has been that I was unable to use that feature though, getting an error every time I tried. Support staff told me that there was an internal issue they were waiting to be fixed. Instead I was directed to create an account on transferwise.com to actually use transferwise rates.

I don't see how that affects BTC-related transfers. At least it doesn't seem to do so directly.

It has always worked for me without any issues for Coinbase PRO, Bitstamp, Kraken and The Rock Trading. Can't speak for the reports other have been posting.
