Bitcoin Forum

We created the wallet, API and payment system we wanted to use ourselves, and think the world deserves to have. Our systems are transparent, high quality and secure. We answer emails and support requests and we will always try to keep you informed. We are based in Toronto, Canada.




Some of the benefits:

• Real Security. Your bitcoins are  in control (https://coinkite.com/faq/security)
• Multi-Signature. We support the most advanced types of multisig transaction types. (https://coinkite.com/faq/multisig)
• Full reserve, you can audit your funds at any time — we encourage it, there is a download csv button
• First BIPS0032 HD Wallet in production that we know of
• Our  Terminal accepts payments from any Bitcoin  (https://coinkite.com/faq/terminal) user regardless of wallet host (including Bitcoin-QT, Coinbase, Bitstamp, BIPS, and others).
• Security  is our responsibility (https://coinkite.com/faq/security), not yours.
• Reliable support—we answer emails—go ahead and  try. (http://mailto:connect@coinkite.com)
• Speed. You are able to send and receive money fast.
• Privacy. You can generate new receiving addresses on demand.
• Jurisdiction. Our servers are in Canada and comply with Canadian Laws and the Ontario Privacy Act. (https://coinkite.com/faq/legal)
• Know your money is here. We are full reserve (https://coinkite.com/faq/money) and you can audit the location of your funds at any time.
• No Limits. Full liquidity (https://coinkite.com/faq/money), all your funds are available to you 24/7.
• HSM-based security (https://coinkite.com/faq/security), similar to how fiat banks protect your money.
• We have a dead man’s switch (https://coinkite.com/faq/security), so if anything happens to us you will still have access to all of your funds.
• Multiple accounts (https://coinkite.com/faq/security) are supported under the same private key (e.g., checking and savings).
• We offer merchant services, a map listing, affiliate programs] (https://coinkite.com/merchant/affiliate) and other tools.
• Our hardware payment terminals (https://coinkite.com/faq/terminal) operate just like debit and credit card payment terminals, and they allow you to accept Bitcoin & Litecoin at Point Of Sale (POS).
• We supply Bitcoin Debit Cards (https://coinkite.com/faq/terminal) so your customers don't even need a phone, tablet or computer to use digital currencies.
• We support multiple crypto currencies (https://coinkite.com/faq/money) (Bitcoin, Litecoin, Testnet and more coming).
• And we offer much more! (https://coinkite.com/why-coinkite)
• We are a paid service so that we don't have to sell you to pay our bills
• Lots of good security features, 2FA, Memorable Images, No linking in e-mails, etc...

Lots of info here: https://coinkite.com/faq/

your site looks nice, good work.



"Litecoin ... also supported"

thanks for that  :)

Got moved buried here.   Economy > Marketplace > Service Announcements

Well guys this indeed looks superb.

@grabhive Thanks man, it means a lot! Non stop working for a few months now.



@LiteCoinGuy Alt coins deserve it, its all money :)

watching this closely..

Wow this is pretty nice, i found this on reddit. Good job guys! Where can i donate some coin?

@defaced Thanks! You signing up and telling everyone you know will help us immensely!



@18RATTT Let us know if you have any questions.

Cool, great idea! I also came here from reddit. I can't wait to get one!

@HeroC Don't forget to sign up for an invite ;)

Update:

Wow, we've received a lot of invite requests!

Thanks for all the support.

I've signed up a few weeks ago.  Waiting on prices :D

Invites are slowly sent out, but the prices are now available on the FAQs.

Some more news, check out our interview on Liberty Radio's Bitcoin update.

A Couple Updates

We've updated our POS Terminal FAQ
https://coinkite.com/faq/terminal

We made this image to show how our system work on all devices
http://31.media.tumblr.com/c8575249813fc1a8d8aa1193fc5f5c47/tumblr_mvhogrYBfJ1sh76xyo1_1280.png

Have you had a look at Trezor (http://www.bitcointrezor.com/)?

PS: Looks very surprising, thumbs up!

I've been watching some vids of you guys and visited your site. Very slick! This is the kind of startup I'd seriously consider investing in, if possible (and profitable ;D ).

PS I also love the use of the currency symbols ฿ and Ł in the screenshots, perfect! :)

Love their product, but we shipped before :)



Thanks, don't forget to send feedback.

Regardless of how it plays out, it is good to know that the main stream commerce system is pouring in real money to build brand names around the concept of Bitcoin.

Interested in this site.. any updates as of late?

The web wallet is growing the user base everyday in a surprising rate, the first batch of cards has arrived, software for the terminal is almost done. We are getting some great media coverage now and the phone keeps on ringing!

Let me know if you want more info, but the best is to just give it a try!

R.

PS, anyone from the forum that wants an invite, I've setup this code: https://coinkite.com/promo/bitcointalk

Good luck! Looks like a great idea.

Thanks!

Which pricing?
It's all there already.

Yes, just saw it. Looks fair.
Should be an easy sell, and given you are Canada-based... those storing their Bitcoins in your servers should sleep better at night :)
Any ETA for delivery of the POS Terminals?

Yes, Canada seems to have been going on the right direction,
we also took one more precaution we are not exposed to Fiat, we don't exchange.

POS is still on course, the hardware production line is set, we received a few more units and are building a bigger order for the Q1.
We are now fine tuning the firmware. Here is a pic

https://i.imgur.com/QpnHKgP.jpg

Suibscribed, looks sharp

Building a WoT (http://bitcoin-otc.com/) presence would be a good idea.

Feel free to let them now :)

What's with switching from "us" to "them"? Anyway the point is, no matter which pronouns you're using, they ought to have greater depth. Getting in the WoT is the way to achieve this.

I meant let WoT(them) know, as I thought you participate on that channel.

Big News: the first batch of Debit Cards was Shipped!


PS: Our cards are not tied to any account of personal information,
you may choose to associate with any account you want.



https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ba0srwdIQAAmwwE.jpg

This looks really awesome. Great work.

One question though, regarding:
Why on demand? With deterministic wallets I don't ever see a reason to reuse an adress, and especially not with HD wallets where a merchant could just give each customer his own adress chain making it possible for the customer to generate new sending adresses himself in the future.

Yes, we do that for the POS and for receiving, many people don't know that.

We are a paid service.

We have two monthly/yearly fix price memberships, where we charge nothing to send/receive. And we have one where its free to keep money, but we charge a percentage to withdraw(send).

The fix price memberships have no fees on transactions, even on the terminal.

More info here https://coinkite.com/iforget

After you sign up you get an email with your welcome message.

Please message on support@coinkite.com so that I can check what's going on.

I would never register for/use coinkite.


Their TOS is against BTC, By registering at Coinkite you agree that BTC is not a currency.
Also their TOS is worded and set up in a way to steal BTC later.
Probably just another scam.

In Canada bitcoins are considerate a commodity. We are not against anything.

Irrelevant, BTC at it's core is intended as a currency.
CoinKites TOS is a joke, I suspect you are a scam artist.
I highly doubt any POS machines will ship.
You make sentence flow errors like "considerate" instead of "considered",
yet you expect individuals to believe you have the intelligence to program a POS device.

What's worse the sentence flow issues are not limited to this forum,
your site is full of them.

Not all of us are born where english is the first language.

More currencies!

We can’t be a world product without supporting the world’s fiat currencies, so today we add KRW (Korean Won), CHF (Swiss Franc) and NZD (New Zealand Dollar). Recently we’ve also added SEK (Swedish Krona) by request of one of our terminal operators.

Coinkite now supports 14 of the worlds’ fiat currencies.

The complete list: USD, EUR, CAD, RUB, GBP, PLN, AUD, JPY, CNY, BRL, SEK, KRW, CHF, NZD

Looks great!

Does this mean I can sell bitcoin from my shop on the east coast of canada?

We were on the CBC's The National, thats Canada's most watched news show. The context is around Gox, but it doesn't matter more news talking about Bitcoin the better it is.

Link http://www.cbc.ca/player/News/TV%20Shows/The%20National/ID/2439580476/

Amazing job guys, site looks great

Nice to see you guys on the news. Looks good and some free advertising for your company :)

Few questions.

You have a set price in place for different types of accounts. If paying that fee each month or for the year and the price has sky rocketed over the year do we get a refund for the difference or a top up back to the account based off the fact that say paying PERSONAL $ 9.95/mo and market goes up say 20 to 30% and have then paid like $15 to $20 do we get compensated for that or more time added to our membership.

Next question. When do you plan on having your re seller system active or affiliate system up and running?

We do spot price only, so what ever is that moment.

Yes, the re-seller/affiliate is live! https://coinkite.com/merchant/revenue-sharing

Some updates.

1. "bitcoin:" link type now supported http://blog.coinkite.com/post/80783517550/bitcoin-link-protocol-now-supported
2. Revenue share program now live  https://coinkite.com/merchant/revenue-sharing
3. Friend Referral https://coinkite.com/refer
4. More locations! https://coinkite.com/locations/
5. More powerful history resport CSV http://blog.coinkite.com/post/79461954546/csv-simple-but-powerful-you-can-now-download
6. Silver members of the Bitcoin Foundation http://blog.coinkite.com/post/79266151125/we-are-happy-to-announce-that-we-are-now-bitcoin
7. Auto Forwarding Funds http://blog.coinkite.com/post/78553894759/funds-forwarding-is-really-easy-on-coinkite

It says debit card, but from the images you cant really the back. Is it actually a debit card?

Yes, the chip works on our terminals and the back has a QR with a BIP32 bitcoin address.

Will it work on normal debit card readers? Can it function like a debit card assigned from a bank?

its not part of any bank system at this moment.

Hmm, maybe get in touch with VISA or Master Card and try to get it working as a debit card (or credit card)?

Historically, Master Card is more open to these types of new opportunities.

Sure, that works. If you could get in touch with master card and get it working, CoinKite would be a hit!

Just FYI: Coinkite is tested and covered already against #HeartBleed

Guys:

IT IS OFFICIAL

COINKITE WILL ADD BLACKCOIN!

https://twitter.com/Coinkite/status/453959431383179264



Excellent news!!

That really is incredible news guys, to be included in Coinkite that allow people & retailers to have Web Wallets, Debit Cards and Payment Terminals is really a great accomplishment and definitely builds a solid foundation to work from. Not to mention it says huge amounts that the only other coins they allow are Bitcoin + Litecoin (not even Dogecoin). Congrats!

            - Thanks Again on behalf of the blackcoin Community

Guys can you please give us some indication as to what level of investment/donation is required for a coin to be accepted and integrated with? I'm most interested in knowing that figure for AUR.

Thanks

From the FAQ/Security:

Can I have my private key?

"Your welcome message contains a copy of the root private key chain for your account. It's encrypted with our global vault key using AES-256-CBC."

Some users may prefer to sign up without an email address (email can be the weakest link!); only with a username, password combo (think password managers; or he can just remember his one strong password only used on secure places).

So how can you get your private key if you did not provide an email? Blockckain provides it from their web interface; certainly more private than sending it in email on a postcard.

We now support multisig!

http://blog.coinkite.com/post/102291566521/bitcoin-multisig (http://blog.coinkite.com/post/102291566521/bitcoin-multisig)

Sorry to ask this question, but is coinkite legitimate? I hope it isnt a scam...

Well, that's the beauty of m-of-n multisig keys generated offline, you don't have to trust Coinkite.

Here is a link for the Multi-Signature (m-of-15) announcement http://blog.coinkite.com/post/102291566521/bitcoin-multisig

CoinKite decided to give both the Bitcoin Co-op and CoinFest free upgraded accounts for our non-profit work. We're going to use the multisig feature to implement democracy/consensus in our financial decision making. Thanks, nvK!

My pleasure, thanks for all the community work.

Hey,

Good call on buying the food and drinks at the DEC_TEC meetup.  At least one person noticed!

I'm based in Toronto as well and it's awesome to see this level of innovation in the bitcoin space here.

Best of luck Coinkite!

Lots! Here is a good place to keep up to date, we change log everything https://coinkite.com/faq/updates

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed. If you are a dev come out to the Bitcoin Dev meetup, many of the same faces. http://www.meetup.com/Bitcoin-Developers/events/220649539/

http://blog.coinkite.com/post/102291566521/bitcoin-multisig

I am aware this is from last November, but I did not see how you guys had implemented this until now. The UI and features are outstanding - congratulations, I think anyone would be able to use it!

Thanks!

PS: I didn't noticed I was in page 1, not in view all and just responded to the last post.

Updates: Building what you need!

http://blog.coinkite.com/post/126999568271/updates-building-what-you-need

We’ve been busy listening to our customers and building-out the “little things” that can make a big difference:

• Flex Liquidity (https://coinkite.com/faq/flex) feature can now be controlled on a per-account basis. This means you can reduce or increase the number of “change back” coins you get in each transaction. Perhaps for a busy hot wallet, you want lots of change outputs, so there are always some confirmed balances in your account. In other cases, you might prefer to have fewer larger UTXO. Regardless, you now have the control! We recommend 3 change outputs for multisig accounts (because those transactions can be larger and slower due to extra signatures) and 10 change outputs for max flexibility in normal hot wallets.
• Pay buttons (https://coinkite.com/faq/pay) can now be created by API call! (https://docs.coinkite.com/api/buttons.html#new-button) We still encourage the use of JWT Tokens (http://jwt.io/) to set prices, descriptions and otherwise modulate the contents of payment buttons, but some customers need to link payment buttons to specific accounts and of course, we all love automation! Now it’s simple to create a payment button (https://coinkite.com/faq/pay) via our API. (https://coinkite.com/developers)
• Bitcoin Pay buttons (https://coinkite.com/faq/pay), at your option, may now require a refund payment address from your customer. This was always optional before. Depending on your business and how you use our buttons, this change might give you a lot more confidence you won’t be left in a situation where you’re holding a customer’s money and can’t send it back to them.
• Proposed, but incompletely-signed shared-account/multisig (https://coinkite.com/faq/multisig) transactions, are now highlighted on balances page. Some of ourbusy customers would lose track of a proposed transaction that needed signing. Now they are in your face until you cancel or sign them.
• Webhooks (https://coinkite.com/developers) no longer follow redirect responses (302, 300) and your webhooks must be hosted on standard port numbers, such as 80 and 443. This fixes some obscure security risks.
