HolyTransaction partners with Netki for human-readable address:

Wallet addresses are one of the most aggressive barriers to the mass adoption of digital currency. Trying to explain these lengthy, case sensitive, intimidating strings of numbers and letters to the uninitiated is a daunting task. Much of the general population values simplicity over function, and in this regard wallet addresses seem scary and overly complex.

It is with this in mind that we are very excited to announce our partnership with NETKI!
 
Your account will be automatically updated as soon as it's ready, and the integration will be seamless from your perspective. Once implemented, your wallet name will correspond to your HT username.
 
example: ‘username.holytransaction.com’

Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Doge will be the first coins supported, with more of your favorites coming soon after.

Together, HolyTransaction and Netki aim to transform cumbersome wallet addresses into one shareable, easy to remember name, that will be usable by all your digital currencies. We look forward to working together to continue making the bitcoin experience both friendly and intuitive for all.

HolyTransaction's April 2015 Recap (newsletter)

Welcome to HolyTransaction’s fourth monthly recap for the year 2015. This past month of April has tested the Bitcoin community’s resolve; during that time, the bitcoin price fell from a high of $244.24 to a low of $231, according to Bitcoin exchange Bitstamp.

 
Rand Paul is the First Presidential Candidate to Accept Bitcoin Donations

http://money.cnn.com/2015/04/07/technology/rand-paul-bitcoin/index.html

United States Senator Rand Paul announced that he would accept Bitcoin donations to fund his 2016 presidential bid. Paul believes that his use of bitcoins and his progressive stance on technology will win over the younger generation in the presidential election. Rand Paul and his supporters believe that the government should have a more hands-off approach to money, and Bitcoin promotes just that. Federal campaigns are allowed to accept Bitcoin donations thanks to an FEC decision released earlier.

 
Bitcoin Summit to Be Held on Richard Branson’s Private Island

http://www.coindesk.com/richard-branson-blockchain-summit-private-island/

Bitcoin supporter and founder of the Virgin Galactic corporation, Richard Branson, has been associated with a new Bitcoin Summit that average Bitcoin users are considering high-brow. Back in February, Bruce Fenton, the current executive director of the Bitcoin Foundation, hosted something called the Satoshi Roundtable on a Caribbean island. Though this Bitcoin Summit uses Richard Branson’s island, the event is hosted by a company, not him. The Summit will take place on Necker Island and will feature lots of people.

 
Ross Ulbricht Denied Retrial Despite New Charges Against Corrupt Agents

http://www.wired.com/2015/04/silk-road-judge-says-no-new-trial-despite-agents-alleged-corruption/

In March, Ross Ulbricht was convicted of running the underground marketplace Silk Road in court. However, weeks after his trial, new charges against agents instrumental in bringing down Ross Ulbricht and the Silk Road came to light. Two federal agents stole money from the investigation, and evidence in that case even supports the theory that the FBI illegally hacked the location of the Silk Road servers. Despite the obvious corruption and potential for subterfuge in the investigation, the sentence from before still stands.

 
Bitcoin Core Development Funding Moves from Bitcoin Foundation to MIT

http://cointelegraph.com/news/114046/mit-to-take-over-funding-of-three-bitcoin-core-developers

Since the hectic reshuffling of the Bitcoin Foundation and its functions, the responsibility of Bitcoin core development funding has passed to the MIT Media Lab. The MIT Media Lab supports various other open source projects in the crypto and tech space. Gavin Andresen, Wladimir Van Der Laan and Cory Fields will now take salaries from the MIT Media Lab. Andresen explained how Bitcoin development will remain un-controlled: “The Bitcoin Foundation was never the center of development; the Bitcoin core open-source software project has been the center, and like most open-source software projects, the developers who work on Bitcoin core are supported in many different ways. Some work for companies that want to see Bitcoin succeed, some for nonprofits, and many are self-funded and self-motivated.”

 
Bitcoin is Value Added Tax (VAT) Exempt in Spain

http://lawandbitcoin.com/en/bitcoin-is-vat-exempt-in-spain/

The General Directorate of Taxes in Spain has responded to a request for clarification regarding virtual currencies. In their decision, the DGT stated that virtual currencies work as a means of payment and can be labeled as a financial service, and not subject to a VAT. Other countries in Europe have also taken similar stances on the taxation of Bitcoin. Bitcoin startups in these countries are using the clarified regulations to move forward in innovation.

"Fast forward to May 19th, 2015: The New York Stock Exchange has just launched an index for tracking Bitcoin. The feeling is surreal for me, and I’m sure for many of you too. We’ve gone from Alpaca Socks and Servers to an open world of goods and services. We’ve grown from a hand full of passionate nerds into a community of millions."

HolyTransaction's May 2015 Recap (newsletter)

Welcome to HolyTransaction’s fifth monthly recap for the year 2015. This past month of May has reminded everyone in the Bitcoin world why we are here; during that time, the bitcoin price fell from a high of $231 to a low of $223.51, according to Bitcoin exchange Bitstamp.



Roger Ver and OKCoin Dispute Over Bitcoin.com
http://cointelegraph.com/news/114376/roger-ver-i-will-offer-a-1000000-bounty-to-anyone-who-can-prove-i-signed-that-contract

Since the news months ago that the highly-visible Bitcoin.com domain would be managed by Chinese Bitcoin exchange OKCoin, things have really changed. In a series of Reddit posts, Roger Ver, OKCoin, and former OKCoin employees aired out all of their dirty laundry. Amid accusations of forged contracts and blatant lies, the spat resulted in a huge blow to the reputation of OKCoin. Bitcoin.com currently redirects to Bitcoin.org, which is maintained by the Bitcoin Foundation.


Bitcoin Exchange BitFinex Hot Wallet Hacked
http://cointelegraph.com/news/114333/breaking-bitfinex-hot-wallet-hacked-bitcoins-stolen

BitFinex, one of the leading Bitcoin exchanges, has been hacked for just over 1500 BTC earlier in May. According to the exchange, trading was not affected and 99.5% of users’ funds were never accessible to the hacker. The hack, while unfortunate, demonstrates the efficacy of cold and hot wallets, which may have been the downfall of Mt. Gox. Notably, another European Bitcoin exchange, BitStamp, also suffered a hot wallet hack earlier in 2015.


Ross Ulbricht Sentenced to Life In Prison
http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/may/29/silk-road-ross-ulbricht-sentenced

Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the Deep Web marketplace Silk Road, has been sentenced to life in prison. Many in the community feel that a life sentence is too harsh given the nature of Ulbricht’s crimes. An appeal is planned by Ulbricht’s defense lawyer, Joshua Dratel. Notably, the trial which convicted Ulbricht did not allow the introduction of key evidence that may tell a different story. The sentence was passed by Judge Katherine Forrest, who was appointed to her federal judgeship on the recommendation of Senator Schumner, the first politician to publicly call for the takedown of Silk Road.


North Carolina Passes Bitcoin Bill
http://www.coindesk.com/north-carolina-representatives-pass-bitcoin-bill-by-wide-margin/

The House of Representatives from North Carolina has passed a new bill to modify the Money Transmitters Act. The bill, HB 289, specifically includes and clarifies the state’s stance on virtual currencies such as Bitcoin. The bill was introduced by Republican Representative Stephen M. Ross, who is also a VP at Wells Fargo. The Bitcoin community has been receptive to North Carolina’s clarification, which contrasts with actions from states such as New York. Perianne Boring, the founder of the Chamber of Digital Commerce, commented: “I would be rather straight forward and say that the community favors regulatory clarity over ambiguity that can create ultimately greater exposure for companies, especially those that do not have the legal budgets necessary to evaluate the ambiguities. The legislation represents a lighter touch than the NY DFS proposal by protecting the interest of consumers but  not imposing any additional regulatory burdens or costs on business to business transactions.  It also has avoided some of the pitfalls of existing statutory schemes.  It may not be what a  segment of the community wants – no regulation. But NC is not a no regulation state and this is a useful step forward in making the law work for digital currency companies.”


Ripple Labs Receives $28 Million USD in Funding
http://www.americanbanker.com/news/bank-technology/ripple-labs-closes-28-million-in-funding-1074393-1.html

Ripple Labs, the company behind the Ripple payment protocol and network, has recently closed a $28 million USD funding round. This round marks their Series A funding and saw many participants from around the world. Ripple has made waves in the digital currency space by sealing deals with several banks around the world. However, Ripple has also faced increasing scrutiny from users wary of centralized control as well as Stellar, an offshoot created by one of Ripple’s original founders which even used some of the same code. Chris Larsen, Ripple Labs’ CEO, commented: “With investors like CME Group and Seagate joining the fold, we're well positioned to accelerate adoption amongst these key customers."

Bitcoin's Monthly Recap of August 2015

Welcome to HolyTransaction’s eighth monthly recap for the year 2015. This past month of August has seen a divided community and increased discussion and involvement from all the Bitcoin industry; during that time, the bitcoin price fell from a high of $280.19 on August 1st to a low of $229.86 on July 31st, according to Bitcoin exchange Bitstamp.

Failed Bitcoin Exchange Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpeles Arrested in Japan
http://bitcoinist.net/mark-karpeles-admits-tweaking-mt-gox-user-balances-millions-dollars/
Earlier this month, Mt. Gox’s CEO Mark Karpeles was arrested in Japan in connection with his failed Bitcoin exchange. Mt. Gox was notably Bitcoin’s first major exchange and its downfall in 2014 rocked the industry. Karpeles first claimed that the missing millions from Mt. Gox were taken by a hacker, but he has not admitted to adjusting and misusing customer funds. Now that Karpeles is in Japanese police custody, many are hoping that justice will be served and the truth will come to light.

HolyTransaction and other Companies Leave New York Due to BitLicense
http://blog.holytransaction.com/2015/08/goodbye-for-now-nyc.html
HolyTransaction and many other Bitcoin companies, notably Bitocin exchanges such as BitFinex, have banned users with New York IP addresses. The infamous New York Department of Financial Services BitLicense required companies to apply by an August date. Instead of spending the money to pay this “troll tax” a handful of Bitcoin companies have decided to warn NY users away instead.

Bitcoin Gains Ground Down Under
http://mashable.com/2015/08/04/bitcoin-currency-australia/
The Australian Senate Economics Reference Committee released a report in early August that took a deep look at Bitcoin. the report was titled “Digital currency - Game changer or bit player.” Australia notably enacted then rescinded a GST tax on Bitcoin transactions, an action that curbed the growth of the Bitcoin industry in Australia for awhile. Australian Labor Senator Sam Dastyari commented on Bitcoin’s renewed opportunity in Australia: “Without a doubt, the main benefit will be the confidence and certainty that removing a GST will provide to our own digital entrepreneurs, and the foreign businesses who want to set up here.”

Blocksize Debate Rages Between BIP 101, BIP 100, and Bitcoin XT
https://bitcoinmagazine.com/21809/open-letter-bitcoin-community-developers/
Different companies, developers, miners, and full node runners have all voiced their opinion on how to raise the Bitcoin blockchain block size. While companies like BitPay and Blockchain.info prefer BIP 101 for the block size increase, mining pools are casting their votes for BIP 100. Meanwhile, Gavin Andresen and Mike Hearn are still pushing for Bitcoin XT. In reality, the Bitcoin network will make its decision the way it always has: through decentralized consensus. Most recently, Bitcoin’s developers (minus Andresen and Hearn) have signed an open letter to the Bitcoin community promising to come to a technical consensus on Bitcoin scalability.

Hello,

Tried out your website for the very first time. I am impressed.

Just wondering if there are any issues using Chrome on iOS. Because I can load the website and login, but when I click "SEND" or "BUY" on the left hand corner, the website just reloads and shows me the main "BALANCE" page.

On Windows in Chrome, it works but only does this on my iPhone.

Wondering if there is a fix for this or its my phone?

The new frontend is currently being rolled out at https://new.holytransaction.com so log in and check it out! HolyTransaction's goal has always been to make cryptocurrencies as easy as possible. People who aren’t familiar with technology should be able to use our website without a problem - and that’s what HolyTransaction want to create with the new UI/UX

[darbon]

HolyTransaction is excited to announce support for a new cryptocurrency, as well as a renewed focus on our international customers. The last cryptocurrency that we added was Gridcoin, and now we have added Ethereum’s crypto fuel - Ether.

Ethereum is one of the most interesting decentralized projects that have been released in Bitcoin’s wake and we support its goals. Smart contracts can’t come soon enough!



Now, with HolyTransaction, you have:

- Send and receive Ether

- Ethereum server side wallet creation and transaction signing

- Set OTP for additional protection


About Ethereum
Ethereum is a decentralized platform that users can use to run smart contracts. Smart contracts are applications that run exactly as programmed (with a Turing complete language) without the possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or 3rd party meddling. The Ethereum platform uses Ether as its “crypto-fuel.”

[Financisto]

Does your web wallet support "import private key" feature (especially for ether)?

How many addresses can my account have?

Currently we allow to create only 1 address per currency.

BTW that's too bad for privacy...

It goes (even) against the early Bitcoin white paper concept wrote by our Jedi Master Satoshi Nakamoto:

[...] As an additional firewall, a new key pair should be used for each transaction to keep them
from being linked to a common owner. [...]
