I just got access to Proton Wallet earlier today. Is there anything you’d like to know?

Q&A

  • I’m on a family plan and have been a paying customer for about 2/3 years.
  • I haven’t bought any Bitcoin yet but will report back on that once I have.

May i ask what country you live in?

I am very interested in how this runs in EU countries. Also the ease of use for absolute crypto noobs.

I’m in the EU. So far, it’s been really easy to follow everything. I made a €20 purchase (you get redirected to a third party, with two available to choose from) without any issues.

Did you have to verify your personal information in some official manner somehow?

[–] governorkeagan@lemdro.id 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nope. The only time I entered personal information (my full name) was when purchasing bitcoin. I made the purchase through Ramp- one of the brokers you can buy from

Alright, thank you very much 👌
