i hope they make at least AML and KYC rules, otherwise it would be stupid  ::)


edit:

It is also employing full electronic anti-money laundering (AML) and "know your customer" (KYC) procedures and engaging with the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Europe's Payment Services Regulations in order to convince people of the security and legitimacy of the platform.

According to TechCrunch, Coinfloor is associated with a well known Nefario of GLBSE infamy, so personally I would not touch it with a 100 foot pole:

Also of interest is that, while the UK startup is founded by Mark Lamb and Amadeo Pellicce, one of its team members is James McCarthy (aka Nefario) who was previously involved in Global Bitcoin Stock Exchange, which controversially shut down last October.
