Add xapo wallet

[baires]

This PR add xapo Wallet to the list of Desktop wallets.

@baires Thanks for submitting a pull request. Usually, contributors are expected to provide the rationale for submitted changes and answer any question that might arise ( a description of the service, especially focused on how customer funds are secured, would be relevant here ).

All online services storing keys for the user, in whole or in part, are currently listed under web wallet with a warning disclaimer. It is my understanding that xapo have complete control over users' private keys. If this is accurate, xapo should use the same disclaimer as Coinkite and Coinbase and be listed next to Coinkite.

@saivann Thanks for the feedback I'm pushing the fix, sorry about that.
I just moved xapo to web wallets and added a disclaimer. Let me know is there is anything else to fix

[saivann]

@baires Can you introduce xapo a little bit more? As suggested earlier, perhaps provide a description of the service, especially focused on how customer funds are secured. Don't worry about the pull request formatting, I'll test it and help fixing small remaining glitches if it gets merged.

[baires]

@saivann Sorry about that I forgot the introduction about Xapo.

Xapo is wallet that is innovating in the bitcoin space. We aim to solve the problem of security and convenience by providing insured cold storage and access to funds instantly with our wallet.
Xapo raised a $20 million Series A round led by Benchmark a few weeks ago.

BTW is was a lttle bit confusing the process of adding a new wallet, specially with this line (16)
<div class="previewrow previewmobile" onclick="mobileWHover(event);">

I just checked it on a mobile device and it seems that all the content inside it is always hidden. Any idea about that?

[saivann]

@baires Can you elaborate on the following:

• Describe the process of moving bitcoins in and out of cold storage?
  (Instant access to wallet and cold storage seems like opposite concepts, is there some delay, limits, verification process? In other words, what prevents someone's account from being emptied just by compromising a single password).
• Do you enable two-factor authentication or similar security measures by default?
• What exactly is covered by the insurance?
• When did xapo entered in operation?

As I said, don't worry about the pull request formatting for now. I'll test it when I got a little more time, this is the kind of thing that can be fixed at the last minute.

Hi Saivann, here are the responses

1- You can send bitcoin to your vault (cold storage) from your wallet or straight to your Vault's address. the transaction is made immediately and just requires a 4-digit pin.
In order to retrieve, you need a longer and more secure process.

• You only can send from your Vault to your Wallet
• You need a vault password to retrieve
• I takes between 12/24hs to process the retrieval.
• You need to confirm your transaction by email
• You can add a second factor authentication (optional)
• You can cancel the transaction at any time (in that 12/24hs)

2- Yes we have that option, but not by default

3- The insurance is designed to cover incidents in which the user is not at fault. For example, attacks by hackers, theft by a Xapo employee, a break-in at the physical vault location, and our bankruptcy are all designed to be covered by the insurance. In these events, bitcoins lost by a user would be replaced by Xapo.

thanks!

[saivann]

@wikichaves @baires Thanks for your answers. Xapo seems to be working without incident since months and is providing at least equivalent security to other listed web wallets, as well as being one of the first insured wallets, so I think adding Xapo is reasonable at this point.

There's significant changes that will probably be made to this page in the next week before this pull request is merged, I'll assist you with updating the branch in due time.

[wikichaves]

Thanks !

@wikichaves I've found and fixed two mistakes in my last comment (icon image path and privacy score), just so you don't need to update the pull request twice.

[wikichaves]

Perfect, thanks :)

@saivann I just updated the PR, let me know is there anything else to do or fix. Thanks!

[saivann]

@baires Can you remove this space?

[saivann]

@baires Your service's description is now missing in en.yml and needs to be added. Your icon is currently 100 X 100px, it should fit within 96 X 96px . Additionally (but that's not mandatory), it would be appreciated if you can put all of these changes in a single commit (no need to create another pull request, you can just overwrite this branch).

[baires]

@saivann I squashed the last commit and updated the logo

[saivann]

@baires @wikichaves Thanks. Regarding your updated description I've just noticed a few possible typos, I can fix them but you're welcome updating your commit.
