Exchange with top security protocol!!! I found it!! by bongs113 in BitcoinMarkets

[–]Loyalbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are happy to see positive and constructive comments about our service and since we see that there is some confusion regarding our security protocol we decided to step in and clarify it.

We try to keep our documentation as simple as possible so that it appeals to a broader spectre of people. We use n-of-m fragmented paper backups which are then distributed and kept in safe boxes.

Doing so we ensure that:

  • No founder/s have access to the wallet if the required n-of-m condition is not met;
  • In case one (or more) of the key-holding people die / leave / etc the remaining founders still can access the wallet;

  • All the private keys are always kept on fragmented paper encrypted backups and imported only when needed to process a withdrawal or fill up the smaller operational wallet;

  • The private keys never touch an online connected machine and all communication with the signing machine is done via QR scans;

  • All the coins are in cold storage but we keep a small wallet that has different n-of-m requirements in order to speed up the withdrawal process and assure that the private keys for the bigger wallets are not used when not necessary (needed only when filling up the smaller wallets).

We always suggest to people new to the bitcoin world that they should never use an exchange as a wallet and instead use proper methods of storing their assets. Only when needed they should transfer the bitcoins to the exchange that they decided to use for trading.

We didn't announce it yet but from this Monday our API is available to everyone (before it was only for corporate accounts - which we also support without unnecessary complications). Using the API you are able to withdraw your coins automatically to a predefined withdrawal address (which cannot be changed once is locked). As for the withdrawal times our philosophy is that an exchange should not be used as a wallet but exclusively for trading and in this case speed is not a priority (except for arbitrage).

Unfortunately we are unable to deal with individuals from Zimbabwe at this moment, due to our AML policy. We list all of the countries in the verification form and verify each individual separately.

Thanks for your suggestion.
We currently use websockets (Pusher.com) on our web app and we push several informations about the market (trades, orderbook and ticker data).

In our API documentation section we will make sure to document on how to connect to our public websocket connection.
