Why is Cryptonator so popular in RuNet?
Actually, having asked this question in the title, I answered it myself - it’s just that Cryptonator is very well tailored for the RuNet (targeted at Russian-speaking users) and especially for those users who have just begun to dive into the crypto world. There is a complete Russian localization of the official website, as well as Russian-speaking technical support (however, there are also a lot of complaints about its responsiveness on the Internet).
In addition, it is possible to enter rubles into this online wallet not only from the international payment service Paer, but also from Yandex Money and bank cards. Although, as I mentioned above, the commissions for entering rubles or dollars are simply outrageous. Apparently, this is the main source of income for the service, because they do not charge money for storing and exchanging cryptocurrencies for each other.
In general, in my opinion, Cryptonator looks like some kind of online exchanger , which, among other things, also allows you to store cryptocurrencies and fiat money in your accounts. And this is precisely why it is close to the majority of inexperienced users, for whom, for example, storing money, say, in an exchange like Eksmo seems complicated, although the reliability there is disproportionately higher.
It’s just that in a crypto exchange there is a higher “threshold for entry” (more intimidating things) - trading, traders, charts, currency pairs and other scary words. But ordinary exchangers do not allow you to open your own wallets.
So the online service Cryptonator, as simple as two pennies, enters the arena with the ability to store cryptocurrency online in separate currency wallets and, if necessary, instantly exchange it. Its success, one might say, was ensured even before its appearance, because there was no particular competition in this niche.
How Negative Reviews Damaged Kryptonator's Reputation
And at first everything was fine - users were satisfied with the simplicity and speed of the service. Deposit/withdrawal took place without problems, money was securely stored and exchanged if necessary. The number of users of the service is currently approaching a million and everything should have continued to be good, but there was a whole wave of negative reviews .
I don’t argue that some of the negative reviews could have been initiated by competitors (there are more than enough opportunities for this now), but the fact is that I don’t see any special competitors in the Russian-language segment from Cryptonator. Someone “serious” could have made a fuss and had a quarrel with the owners of the service (offended). But this is again unlikely, and therefore I urge you to be careful.
I think that you can completely trust this service to withdraw Satoshi from Bitcoin faucets (it will be especially profitable to withdraw Money to Yandex with a one percent commission, and spend it from Yandex.Cards in a store near your home). But for something more significant, I would not recommend using Cryptonator yet.
How to withdraw funds from your wallet
When withdrawing cryptocurrency from the Cryptonator wallet, you must click “Send” under the desired coin or by going to the appropriate section. Indicate address and quantity. The minimum and maximum limits were given above in the “Replenishment” section. Next, you will need to confirm the transfer in accordance with the activated security settings. The sending takes place within 2 minutes, and further transaction confirmation time depends on the blockchain network. You can use browsers to check the status of the translation.
Commissions for withdrawing coins:
When selling cryptocurrency, it can be immediately transferred to a crypto exchanger and exchanged for the desired payment system: banks (Sberbank, Privat 24, etc.; Visa/MasterCard cards; Qiwi wallets, Yandex, Payeer, AdvCash, Perfect Money and others).
We recommend exchangers:
- ProstoCash,
- 60sec,
- Platov,
- Ramon Cash.
- Fiat is received in a similar way:
Commission:
Regular time: instantly when withdrawing to electronic wallets and up to 5 days - to Visa/MasterCard cards.
Tariffs and commissions
Deposits and withdrawals of funds from Cryptonator are available on Payeer, plastic card, bank account and Yandex.Money EPS.
Sending fees:
- Payeer - 2.9%;
- VISA/Mastercard - 3.9%;
- Yandex.Money - 1.0%;
- Bank account - depending on the tariffs of the sending bank.
The multi-currency vault has restrictions on minimum transaction amounts. Incoming and outgoing payments below this threshold are not taken into account by the system and are not credited. They also do not accumulate and cannot be returned to the sender.
The developers of the online wallet say that this is a necessary measure. A huge number of microtransactions disrupt the performance of hot wallets, preventing the prompt creation of transfers. As a result, the transaction size allowed by the protocol is exceeded. For this reason, the queue for sending is slowed down, which is a technological feature of the cryptocurrency protocol. The minimum transfer amounts on Kryptonator are in the table.
The service reserves the right to change prices and commission amounts without prior warning to its users.
Exchange cryptocurrencies and fiat on cryptonator.com

Reviews for Kryptonator (app):
History of the creation of Cryptonator
History of the Cryptonator wallet
The project manager is Russian Roman Pikulev, who already has a successful startup in his portfolio for the creation and development of a commercial vehicle portal.
The idea of creating a cryptocurrency storage service came to Roman in the fall of 2013, when he first encountered blockchain. During the same period, the use of cryptocurrencies in Russia was in question; the authorities were considering a bill to introduce fines for the use of “money surrogates,” the approval of which would automatically make the crypto market unattractive for consumers. However, this did not stop Pikulev and he confidently walked towards the goal.
☝️
His plans were to develop not just a high-quality wallet for storing crypto, but a full-fledged online portal with a set of additional tools and functions that meet the needs of modern traders.
However, throughout its existence, Pikulev’s project had to face considerable problems. 2016-2018 became a turning point for the wallet, along with the influx of clients, the number of messages from dissatisfied users began to increase rapidly.
The technical support channel was simply bursting with objections that it did not have time to process, and as a result the problem reached a considerable scale. The largest number of complaints were related to the withdrawal of large sums - apparently the Kryptonator wallet was not ready for such popularity. By the end of 2022, this boom began to subside, and later positive reviews about the service began to appear online.
How to exchange currencies?
In the event that Cryptonator is used to mine Bitcoins, users will have to resort to an exchange service. You can also withdraw any finances through the exchanger. You can convert any pair of currencies. For this purpose, there is an “Exchange” tab in the menu. It opens a list of currencies available for conversion. Having selected the one you need from it, you should then indicate the transaction amount and the money for which the exchange will be carried out. At the final stage of the operation, it is necessary to confirm the current rate.
For convenience, the site has an online calculator function, with which you can, before making a transaction, calculate how much, for example, a certain amount in dollars will be in rubles, or how many euros are needed to purchase 10 BTC.

It will be useful to you when you enable this authorization method on other services, for example, on Bitflip.
As for the reviews about Kryptonator, there are more negative ones.
The main complaints from users are as follows: The program is periodically improved and updates are released, the last one was on December 28, 2022.

Contacts
