XAPO are now allowing people to withdraw their bitcoincash

[audaciousbeing]

I use Xapo and I was happy with the stance they took on the issue of BCH. They made it clear that " we won't rob you of your BCH but we won't run it. Take it out or we convert it for you" and that's gentle man enough if you ask me. I will be going with the option of direct conversion to the balance and just get away with the BCH coin altogether in other to prepare for the next air drop coming in few weeks from now.

But after that it's over. BCH is a good hedge just in case the next fork in Nov damages bitcoin.

Damages Bitcoin? You mean take its market down temporarily, right? There is no way that all miners will be in favor of initiating that fork aside from a few malicious miners that are looking to bank on another chain split. BCH isn't a good way to hedge Bitcoin, nor will it ever be. Bitoin Cash is nothing more than an obsolete shitcoin that even in the altcoin market, has nothing to contribute. You are aware of the fact that people buying themselves into BCH are indirectly sponsoring the JihanWu cartel, right? If you look to hedge Bitcoin in the runup to a certain event, which is perfectly fine, then there are enough altcoins for you to convert to.

They are faster than Coinbase
I'm glad that I withdraw all my btc from Xapo before fork and I didn't had to wait so long to get my BCH.
I don't think that these news is important for many users. Mostly people withdraw their btc from Xapo before August 1st. But it's good that Xapo didn't robbed users BCH. Anyway, Xapo will benefit a little from BCH, because there still will be some users, who will not take their BCH until deadline

The only way that will benefit Xapo is if they screw their customers on the sell rate, as they've stated that at the deadline they will simply sell the BCH "at market rates" and credit the customers BTC...

Is that so? That would be a big opportunity for BitcoinCash (BCH) to be a fine altcoin, but in some exchange sites they allow it I think 1 month after the fork and I'm glad XAPO does the same. Hoping that many more will recognized BCH as a fine altcoin for this year and in the coming years. And maybe BCH will be a good help if the upcoming hard fork this November will be implemented.

I have been using xapo's debit card since a year and i had 1.7 bitcoins in xapo wallet on the day of bitcoin fork.
Being honest, i never noticed their update about bitcoin cash withdrawal as i thought they would not let us avail forked currency.
This post helped me reminding about my BCC and wow, my cash is still there.
I got $686 of bitcoin cash, thanks for creating this thread.

At least Xapo allow their users to withdraw bitcoin cash from their wallet earlier than users that are using Coinbase web wallet, I think Coinbase really needs to step up and improve their customer service if they plan on expanding their customer base, Coinbase users have to wait until January 2018 to be credited for bitcoin cash is a very bad idea.

See this blogpost:

https://blog.xapo.com/time-to-convert-your-bitcoin-cash-bch/

They're giving people two options a) withdraw the bitcoincash and b) sell the BCH for bitcoin.

But they're setting a deadline of December 14th 2017. If you haven't withdrawn or sold by then, you lose your bitcoincash coins.

Yup. Coinbase are the only ones left who haven't distributed the coins. Everyone else has done so.

As far as I am aware, Blockchain.info have not delivered either. On one side, with them you already have access to the provate keys and you could do it yourself, but they did promise to add an easy way to obtain your bitcoin cash and it still isn't there. The deadline is also quite close, as it has been a solid few weeks since the announced it.

I got my bitcoin cash with Xapo but for last two days I can't log in into wallet through mobile app. Verification codes are not arriving to my mobile phone. Does anyone else has the similar problems, are they working something on the app?
