Xerobank questions ?

I know Connect in Private is not Root Panama. I wanted to see what others had to say about Panama vs Canada privacy laws.

 

Ahh ok and forget Canada, if the USA pushes them, they'll bend, they've done it before. Canada is in bed with the USA...

 

And Panama will not?

 

When was the last time someone got a answer from wizardguy support? I haven't received any answer for for any of my mails with the first one sent 26:th of december...

Has anyone singed up for a test trial recently? Mine had 0MB in it, thus not functional.

I do hope xerobank pop's back up with a new site with forum and all and with a better product then ever! They are missed

 

Yes, but, this forum - at least at one time - was considered more than "some random forum".
This was considered the top security forum along with one or two others.
I hope to come here to get answers - not opinions -to computer questions. And that always includes proofs.
This is a serious forum, not a social networking site were you can post "antivirus A s...ks, ha ha" and expect to have it left there.

 

Some people post made-up complaints about Xerobank. Sorry that this is the case, but that's why you will boost the credibility of your own complaint if you can provide some backup information, such as confirming what Xerobank e-mail address you contacted, and posting exactly what you wrote to Xerobank. That way, Xerobank can see it here (because they certainly peek in now and again) and maybe someone here can actually answer your question and resolve the problem.

An internet friend signed up for the Xerobank trial account about 1 month ago and it seems to work fine for them. It appears that some of the problems with Xerobank trace back to individual computers and not a problem with Xerobank as a whole.

It IS ironic that Wilderssecurity has essentially taken over the role of the Xerobank forum. Certainly if you can't avoid public complaints on the internet, it's a better business strategy to distance those complaints from the company website rather than have them available right on it!

 

Hi Nathan, I'm just curious.....every single post you have made at Wilders has been about Xerobank. You posted a few times in August of 2007 about XB and then disappeared for over three years. You once again pop into Wilders to talk about XB and you say you aren't even a customer (though you were in August of '07). Why the interest?

 

I agree totally - nothing but "smoke and mirrors"

 

Indeed. And what did you conclude from what I've written - that I'm for or against Xerobank? Does it look like I take only one side? Ah yes, maybe the difficulty in figuring out "'what side I'm on" is because of smoke and mirrors.

Anyway, the reason why I've only posted about Xerobank on Wilders (for or against?) with the 3 year absence, is that the CIA took me off the Xerobank privacy cracking program and sent me on a 3 year mission to Lichtenstein to try and find the elusive privacy.li servers there...........

What most attracts me to stay on this thread are postings like yours!

See, I knew it. I knew it when I first saw the smoke. Never mind the mirrors

 

Hi Nathan

First of all I'm a fan of Xerobank already, or used to be atleast. Now I needed a new account to test xerobank for a new solution with my VMware since I could not install my old account there.

First I sent a mail to sale since no support was to be found same day as I got my new test account the 21 of December, no answer. Then I came in here after some google searches and wrote 2 more mails to wizardsupport the 26 & 28 of December, no answer. Ok it is still holidays but if I don't hear from xerobank beginning of next week then XB seams to be dead.

The main question is not if I'm fake or not, the interesting question is if someone else heard from them. Maybe you should test the support mail yourself to see if my worry is valid or not? Would be nice of you.

For starters there is no bandwidth in my account, all 0MB. I think that is the problem...

 

I am an old customer of Xerobank and I'm about to cancel my subscription. I took out my subscription as I used Wi-Fi hotspots a lot and wanted the peace of mind that an encrypted VPN connection would afford me. However, I've just tried to use it from home, and as usual, half of the connections don't work at all. I'm not interested in promises of things to come or how long it takes someone to reply to support emails. By the look of things here, there is nobody actually running Xerobank who can sort out problems with their servers.

The way I see it is this - I am paying for X number of connections. I am receiving X minus 50%. I am also paying for support that has at it's absolute peak been patchy. Not good enough. Xerobank is an excellent idea. Shame about it's implementation.

PS - if anyone wants to take a look through my posts to see all my comments on XB then they are welcome. I am not someone posting because of grudge with Steve Topletz or any other "agenda". I am simply a consumer.

 

The progeniTORs of XeroBank are pseudonymously active here at Wilders. I'm confident they hear the travails and the cry's that there are wolves.

[speculation] Agent 3929295 is an ex-XB employee, I think, K?[/speculation]

Personally XeroBanks price structure turned me off.
Having promotions and incentives like free 2/3 month trials, buy one year get the second year for 1/2 or free would provide hooks for new customers.
While they are there, train them in determining relative strength of anonymity services by providing a front page of news and tips similar to Yahoo.com but XeroBank style.
XeroBank is competing with free and cheap solutions and must bridge the gap between their premium consumer product offering and the competitions free or cheap alternatives. If that means offering a $5 or $10 solution on the same backbone as their premium service, then so be it. XeroBank is going to have to be aggressively competitive to gain market share for their brand.

XeroBank may have built their product like that of a finely aged 15 year old Scotch, but if they don't produce a blended whiskey product their sales will be limited to those who are connoisseurs only.

 

Hmm I just saw this, old post though...

It seems that CyrptoHippoe, Metropipe and Xerobank all have or had an association with Roque Holdings, Inc.

That's pretty odd coincidence...

 

Metropipe - CyrptoHippie - Xerobank - This Doesn't Look Good!

I found something quite interesting that others need to see and make up their minds for themselves, the information should be clear enough for you to see...

Metropipe
http://www.whoishostingthis.com/metropipe.net

CyrptoHippie
http://www.whoishostingthis.com/cryptohippie.com

Xerobank
http://www.whoishostingthis.com/xerobank.com

Doesn't point to Roque Holdings Inc but look at the first Google result;

https://encrypted.google.com/search...oque Holdings Inc&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=

CyrptoHippie.net, instead of a .com and this same name Roque Holdings...
This relationship of same names is to coincidental...

http://www.cryptohippie.net/about.html

On June 26th Roque Holdings Corporation merged with Cryptohippie Inc., Panama.

But wait further evidence of a WHOIS on the .com and .net

Xerobank.
http://www.whoishostingthis.com/xerobank.com

Well it is clear that Metropipe and Xerobank have the same hosting and CyrptoHippie.net and .com showing up with the same WHOIS info and the link showing a relationship to Roque Holdings Inc. does seem to clearly link all three together with Roque Holdings.

Personally, people I'd look for another VPN service to use if you use any of these...

I'm not here to bash anyone, but the evidence is quite damming and I think you'd have to be blind to not see it.

PEACE

P.S. What this boils down to is that Steve has denied any relationship, YET they are all related to Roque Holdings, that's the ODD thing I'm trying to point out to get people to see...

 

Re: Metropipe - CyrptoHippie - Xerobank - This Doesn't Look Good!

So what? Even if all of that were true, why would it reflect poorly on any of them?

Why? Consider Chevrolet and Cadillac, or Honda and Acura, or Nissan and Infiniti, or Toyota and Lexus.

What evidence? Why is it damning?

 

Re: Metropipe - CyrptoHippie - Xerobank - This Doesn't Look Good!

From information I have read online Roque Holdings Inc. owns all of them and that they are being publicly displayed as not having knowledge of the others...

Steve in his own words has called CryptoHippie the competition when the evidence seems to suggest it is not and it's just a part of his company like all the others, or him just being a part of Roque Holdings Inc.

The point, is it seems to be scamming, posing as three legitimate different businesses when it's not, that's all, they seem to be all the same...

Steve has said in his words there are no relationships to one another, but then how do you so coincidently end up under the same company as Roque Holdings?

What this boils down to is that Steve has denied any relationship YET they are all related to Roque Holdings, that's the ODD thing I'm trying to point out to get people to see...

 

Re: Metropipe - CyrptoHippie - Xerobank - This Doesn't Look Good!

It all goes back to this now famous post here at Wilders. By the way, at the time I was using XB and not wanting to think any of this. But, reading it now, the guy I used to make fun of was absolutely right. Oh, and this one.

 

Hey Wizard, can you chime in here and address some of the questions raised lately please?

 

Re: Metropipe - CyrptoHippie - Xerobank - This Doesn't Look Good!

very true and if i am not mistaken all the xerobank fanboys shot him down and the regular fanboys no who they are

 

Update: Someone came back into work today and my trial account has now been funded with 74 gig and is working on my VMware, jippi! Still haven't heard from support yet but they might have a lot to do after the holidays.

As for the metropipe connection I remember reading about that here long time ago and I never worried about it. But that's up to everyone to believe what they want.

I'm glad the xerobank is still in business

 

Re: Metropipe - CyrptoHippie - Xerobank - This Doesn't Look Good!

It's worth reading that whole thread and the back and forths, so that we don't try to reinvent the wheel:
https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?p=1018578#post1018578

 

Personally, I'm too frightened to e-mail the fellow and tell him to get over here to Wilders to answer these questions. However, if there is one brave soul out there reading this, the Xerobank wizard helper/support says to reach them at:

wizardsupport(at)xerobank(dot)com

 

Sorry... I mean to say that I'm much, much too BUSY to e-mail the xerobank fellow.......
