Well this does provide more info but I d like to hear more reviews from people who have tested this service. Especially from people with higher trust and post count. Nothing against you personally but I have my doubts when reading stuff from people who re still relatively green in crypto. So, anyone else who s been using this? Images? Proof?

I understand that you may not trust my review, no offence taken. It's true that I don't have a high post count. However, I've been a member/lurker here for nearly 3 years now and I bought my first Bitcoin 4 years ago, so I'm not exactly "green", but nor am I a grizzled old veteran. I just don't post unless I feel I can contribute (there is far too much white noise on this site). I'm linking a screen grab of some of my xCoins transactions - perhaps that may suffice to convince you that I'm not a shill.

Anyway, bear in mind that I'm not necessarily recommending xcoins.io, but my experience has been mostly positive (I've been luckier than some). Also, I'm more knowledgeable about this platform than most, as I'm an active lender and member of both the private lenders forums and chat channels. Personally, I'm convinced it's not a scam site, but it is new and it is not yet as professional as it could be.

As I mentioned before, there are several obvious risks involved, so, as always, do your due diligence. xCoins fees are higher than you may be used to (as I said, you can use the promotion code jbh184 on registration to mitigate this). Also, customer service at xCoins is definitely lacking; xCoins seem to be under-staffed in that department, but they seem to be trying pretty hard and the system is mostly automated and effortless (when it works as it should).

The poster above who claims it is a scam is 100% wrong - that incident is most likely a result of poor customer service, not intentional fraud, and that poster is just frustrated and venting. There are no genuine incidents of fraud that I'm aware of (and I'm paying close attention - my money is at risk). I don't blame the poster though, there definitely have been periods lasting for several days with no word from customer support. Usually, they come back and launch a new feature they have been working on, then they deal with the outstanding support issues (hardly an ideal way of doing business). However, I opened a support ticket today and had a response within 30 mins, so things seem to be improving.

Hope this all helps a little.
