Hi Wirex, I would like to ask you one thing. Is there any problem with the deposits of bitcoins? Because I'm trying to generate a new btc address but every time it fails.

Their system is from 1970s, it will work, but only if you give it good 10-20 minutes per action. I was unloading my card to btc and took me good 40 minutes to complete my action. Trying to transfer my bitcoin from ecoin to my wallet for 20 minutes already, just watch a tv series or something while it's generating. It's fun to see other providers who are pretty new to the game have flawlessly working system and wirex/e-coin can't fix theirs for years  Smiley

Edit : Here we go again, a pending transaction stuck on wirex, classic situation. Time to make a ticket and wait 2 weeks for response, oh yes!

it's not the system, it's the blockchain. Delays with deposits and transfers are the backside of having individual wallets rather than all users' funds sitting in the same hot wallet. It offers more security, but due to the imperfection of the blockchain itself, such architecture sometimes results in delayed transactions.

We are currently re-considering it, but would you 100% trade security for speed?..
