CoinPayments Controversy Over Hacked Ripple
CoinPayments in year (June 2017) lost a significant amount of user’s Ripple (XRP) from their hot wallet.
As per the company, there was a bug in their hot wallet which the other users of CoinPayments exploited to siphon away all the XRPs.
It is worth highlighting the fact that the company did the right thing by accepting their mistake and then went to work on their recovery process to refund all the affected users.
Here is a statement after they successfully refunded all the affected users and strengthened their security.

CoinPayments says they are the cheapest crypto-payment service in the world. Nearly all incoming payments and deposits are subject to a fee of only 0.5%. The ASAP/Nightly service forwards funds to an external address and is also subject to the usual coin transaction fee.
In addition to that, there are wallet fees for some services. Conversions carry the coin transaction fee and any partner fees. Withdrawals are subject to the coin transaction fee. And deposits to the wallet are free up to $15,000 equivalent value monthly, with amounts above that subject to the 0.5% fee.
Note ️: CoinPayments will subsidize withdrawal fees at a flat rate of 0.00040000 instead of the full TX fee (only applies to withdrawals).
The CoinPayments fees are actually quite impressive. For example, if we were to take a look at BitPay, their biggest competitor, they charge a 1% processing fee. It is is also worth noting that BitPay only accepts Bitcoin compared to the plethora of coins on offer at CoinPayments.

The Auto-Sweep feature allows you to automatically withdraw and/or convert your entire balance of a specific coin every night (at approx. midnight EST, GMT-0500). Once enabled, this feature will allow you to automatically take your entire balance (when above a certain minimum amount set by you) and convert it to another coin (if the conversion pair is supported) and/or send off the CoinPayments platform to any address you specify. This feature needs to be setup for each coin individually. Conversion is supported for any coin listed on ShapeShift, Changelly or Kyber. **Please note the conversion feature requires you to generate a new wallet address for the coin you want to convert into (done throught the wallets page).
To setup Auto-Sweep:
Query the server for Withdraw ID status.
interface CoinpaymentsGetWithdrawalInfoOpts {
id: string
}
await client.getWithdrawalInfo(options: CoinpaymentsGetWithdrawalInfoOpts)
id — Withdrawal id.
