Support lacks urgency

When funds are frozen, a reply after two or three days is too slow. There should at least be a quick status update.

The payout threshold works for me

At my mining volume payouts arrive at a convenient frequency without waiting too long to reach the minimum.

Best international payments service I have tried

It shows the rate, fee and expected time before confirmation. That predictability is exactly what I wanted.

Moderation criteria are unclear

Technically the service is fine, but the project review criteria remained unclear to me.

Good for long-term storage

Manual confirmations are inconvenient for active trading, but for cold storage that is exactly the advantage.

Check fees in advance

International transactions can cost more than expected. I now check the tariff before every transfer.
