Currently all of the digital assets we support can currently be traded on our exchange. in the future we want to support a much bigger variety of assets including tons of erc20 tokens but most will be for holding in the wallet. So that's a roadmap item..

Yes that's me.

You can purchase the yubikey directly from yubico or on Amazon. You will need the 5ci if you have an iPhone and the 5c if you have Android.

Do not buy any used Yubikey, it's not a safe practice.

Evercoin can be downloaded for free from http://Evercoin.Com

Here is an article from Bitcoin Magazine detailing the announcement
https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/evercoin-2-joins-the-mobile-hardware-wallet-market

One perspective is that if you have a mobile compatible YubiKey 5c or 5ci, you can download a free mobile wallet that now has hardware security by YubiKey.

Evercoin takes the position that it is a safer wallet (safer, not necessarily more secure) because like ledger or trezor, there is
* hardware security provided for the key
* you control the 12 word mnemonic (your keys your crypto)

However, unlike traditional hardware wallets:
* there is an easy-to-use non-custodial wallet backup and recovery system which makes losing your keys harder
* it integrates biometric authentication factors from the phone like fingerprint and face
* it's more inconspicuous
* it's more portable and mobile-first
* YubiKey by itself provides nice security protection
* It has a built in non-custodial exchange
* It's less prone to user error, exchanging doesnt require typing or pasting addresses

Purpose built hardware wallets certainly appear to have more security features and in fact originating the keys on the hardware is more secure than originating on the phone and encrypting subsequently. Also transaction signing is not happening on the keys. But it's a significant step forward to provide an easier way for mobile users to get additional security when using Evercoin.

Hi everyone.

I am Miko from Evercoin and I'm happy to answer your questions.

The People Behind EverCoin

I'm happy to see people on this board looking at our service with suspicion, this is normal and the community needs to protect itself from scammers. We do show our own faces and linkedin profiles on the front page of our exchange. Yes, it is possible that people are just using the identities of others. We are obviously not so prominent or famous but I do have a number of fairly prominent people in crypto who could vouch for us or who have met us including general partners at Pantera Capital, Jackson Palmer, originator of Dogecoin, Robert CEO of ZenCash, Zooko from Zcash and many others. I know these aren't necessarily the gods of crypto like Vitalik Buterin, but I havent met him so he can't say if I'm a real person or not. I am one of the organizers of the SF Advanced Crypto Asset Trading group and Crypto Underground meetup, so 3500 people in that community know who I am at some level. Anyhow, I welcome the suspicion, I hate scammers as much as anyone and feel like everyone who asks you to "send bitcoin to this address" deserves to be checked out. I've been in Silicon Valley for 25 years working in tech.

Evercoin Domain Name
Let me explain the domain name. We originally launched under the name "Hazelcoin" because the founder Talip Ozturk previously created the open source project Hazelcast. We decided that this was not a great name for us, so we did some searching for a good name.

We ended up liking the name "Evercoin" because we feel like there are too many people in this space thinking short-term. We would like to create a built-to-last company and service. So "Ever" is a nice feel, like forever feeling, and trustworthy, which we feel is important. The domain was for sale on Sedo.com and we purchased the domain through them. So the domain existed in the past, but it was for sale. We liked the fact that the domain ended in "coin".

Honestly, we are a BRAND NEW service, so there are very few reviews.

How to start
As with any crypto service, start small. Just try a very small transaction to see how the system behaves. It's a fully functional system, so you'll immediately get the feeling of that. And yes, do your homework.
