I got my Bitcurex card in the mail today, quite a bit faster than expected

I only just sold some BTC to charge the card, transferred it to the card, over an hour later the balance is still zero, but if it takes 2 hours, that will work for me too. I do wish there was an easier way to check the balance than sending an SMS to Poland.

Also,  it seems as if google play / wallet wont accept the card. Perhaps its because the balance is still zero, but apparently the card must be enabled for digital goods purchases. Is it enabled for that? If not,  how do I enable that?

update: a few hours later the card is charged and it works just fine on Google Wallet


As for the rest, the procedure seems pretty straight forward. The paper work (and english language translations) could be a little more professional I guess, but thats nitpicking. A bigger concern is that there is very little market depth at bitcurex exchange, selling just 10BTC made the price drop by 5% lol. It appears to be a nice exchange, so Im sure the is some opportunity for arbitration if anyone is interested.

I'm glad you liked it.

We will work hard to improve our products, and the exchange itself.
All opinion is more then welcome.

Euro market is growing fast, and probably will grow even faster on a new machine.

Today we had a server problems, and we decided to move the site to a new machine. We were going to do it at the end of this week with proper announcement but our current server had a different opinion on that.

We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused by this.

The site will be back online later today.
Up to 72 hrs while DNS propagates trough out the network we will be operating on a temporary domain bitcurrex.com.

We are very sorry for this

Best Regards

As we were talking earlier.
SEPA usually takes D+1, and most of the times are on next day. International wire transfers as yours can take up to even 14 days.

I have to say this:

   2.   Fast ,1 -hour- top -free of charge withdrawals to BCC

Just isnt true. Ive withdrawn EURO to my visa card and almost 4 hours later status is still pending
Pending (Cancel)
EUR withdrawal
Created on: 03.10.12 15:01

Last time it also took at least 5 hours (could have been more, I gave up checking and checked the next day).

Other than that I like your service, but its cumbersome and slow to reload the card. Send BTC to exchange, wait for 6 confirmations,  sell BTC, withdraw to VISA, wait 4+ hours. It would be nice if this could be done automatically: have an address where you can send the BTC, they get sold automatically at market price and the balance gets added automatically to your VISA card. That way you could recharge it "on the go". Ideally this would work even without 6 confirmations for smaller amounts or "old" customers.

[Bitcurex.com]

Yes it would be nice.

We are working on the automatic trader as we speak, it is the first thing on our to do list. First test went good, but its still some time left to implement it.

Sometimes it get delayed, its still better than waiting few weeks for a withdrawal right?

But there were some problems with withdrawals.

For that we would like to apologies, and present user with 15% discount for recent delays.

cjqk6K2JuK - this voucher will let you get 15% discount on your card.

Plus its not a final stag of it. We are talking with our banks so we can make automatic withdrawals 24h/day, but its not easy. Plus there is conversion from EUR to GBP and USD. Once the new market will be activated there wont be any problems with the delays.


Best Regards.

I wanted to tell everyone that I have this card and it is working. I was able to sell btc for Euro on the exchange and then easily transfer the funds to the card. The next day I was able to make an atm withdrawal. As some have already said the weak point right now is the low volume on the exchange. Given that this is a good product from a company that seems to be doing their best to run a good business I don't think it will take long for the trading volume to start going up. As things stand right now the card is usable and the best way I have to get btc to cash in hand. It's real, it works, get yourself one...

Great Job Bitcurex!

Question about cards, How much is min loading for BTC how is the exchange of BTC to USD or GBP done does this have own back office and members are to use. Do you have an affiliate program and do you do business partnerships, or any details of who is providing the cards for business use as I am setting my own business up and wanting to provide a BTC debit card. I already have a few company's in mind but would like to hear from you with what you offer.

[Negcreep]

Will there be a time when you will accept litecoin as payment/topup for these cards?

[Puppet]

I am constantly getting "site not accessible software update in progress"
I dont think you guys update the software 6 days per week do you?

[celkaris]

any idea when the site will be back online ?

currently, https://bitcurex.com/ prompts for a basic http auth, http://bitcurex.com displays a weird polish(?) page, https://eur.bitcurex.com/ displays "Site not accessible software update inprogress"

I think they are upgrading the server.

Bitcurex is a brilliant system. Maybe they should bring more investment in, build a resilient system and finally begin virally promoting it. I'm telling about it to everyone but they can't even use it if they wanted to. 

[rebuilder]

They're supposed to be upgrading servers, something to that effect was posted on the 24th, saying everything should be running in 24 to 48 hours. 

Seems to be about par for them, a lot of complaints about slow communication, but AFAIK they've acted properly so far apart from that.

[Ente]

Had "upgrading" earlier today, now the site seems to be fully working.

I feel bewildered that bitcurex doesn't update/reply at all in here, though.

No it doesnt. Constantly getting "software update in progress"
 After 20x attempts I finally managed to log in, then when I try to withdraw it its back to "software update in progress".

Ive been (extremely) patient, and I love  their visa card, but Im done with bitcurex.

They show zero competence making their website work. Their homepage shows a giant "575x300px" placeholder for a week now. Their site is inaccessible most of the time.  Polish text pops up everywhere. Am I really to trust my coins and euro's to that kind of competence and devotion? On top of that you get zero communication.

Sorry, but bye bye bitcurex.

[memvola]

On the flip side, the site works pretty well when it does.

I'm waiting to buy a card for every family member. With this kind of product, they can easily become the biggest exchange in Europe, they are missing a great deal right now.
