Building A Supportive Bitcoin Community in Oakland We are pleased to be recognized for our contribution in promoting Bitcoin and creating a community in our hometown Oakland! “Getting to know the other folks working on Bitcoin has been absolutely critical for our company’s development, and in-person meetups have been the best place for us to do that. As we grow, we want to contribute and give back to the same events that have supported us, so we created the East Bay Bitcoin Meetup and started hosting it in our office,” - Brennen Byrne, CEO at Clef. The Clef team believes in building a supportive Bitcoin community. If you are local to Oakland, join us at one of our next East Bay Bitcoin Meetups.

This is a great idea! One suggestion would be to make these meetings happen in other cities all over North America. Even if it was once a year, it would be pretty epic.

Looking into clef now, checking it out on my phone hopefully we could get more sites to use multi f2a then just a regular authenticator.

Clef is amazing, I have had the chance to use it on a site they just partnered up with - www.ToshiDesk.com/beta - It's hassle free to say the least, no need to remember my passwords anymore.

Instead of using passwords and seeds (which need to be stored centrally and can be stolen), Clef uses public-key crypto to log users in. That means that most hacks against a Clef-protected account are completely impossible (you can see more at getclef.com/security). If Clef is hacked, we only have the public keys and so there’s nothing for an attacker to steal or use against the user. 

No need to grab public keys, this part is attack-resistant. But if Clef server is hacked and the OAuth code on Clef side is changed by attacker then the he would have a possibility to log into ALL of the integrated sites until the breach is closed. With a good planned and scripted attack 10 minutes would be enough to steal millions from those who rely solely on confirmation from Clef to find out user identity.

Spells of Genesis & CLEF

Discover "Clef, Warden of Wanders"

CLEFCARD EverdreamSoft, in collaboration with Clef, is launching the CLEFCARD, a blockchain-based asset, playable as “Warden of Wonders” in EverdreamSoft's Moonga and Spells of Genesis (SoG), or freely tradable on the blockchain.

Only 1000 units of CLEFCARD will be released, the 1st card is purchasable for an equivalent of 3.50 USD, then the price will gradually increase with the number of cards being purchased. This means that the sooner you purchase your CLEFCARD, the less you’ll pay. In the future we expect the cards to acquire more value as they are collector items.

DISTRIBUTION CHART

BUILD YOUR COLLECTION After FDCARD, SJCXCARD, GEMZCARD and recently XCPCARD, SWARMCD and  ETHEREUMCARD you can now broaden your collection with CLEFCARD. To be sure your collection is complete, check all our blockchain-based trading cards HERE. All EverdreamSoft’s special blockchain-based cards are playable in Moonga and SoG, as well as freely tradable outside the games. When you purchase one of our blockchain-based cards, you will own your game asset not only within the game, but also on the blockchain.

ABOUT EVERDREAMSOFT AND SOG EverdreamSoft is a swiss based company specialized in the field of mobile games development. With Moonga, our main trading card game, we were among the first to have a free-to-play game on the AppStore in 2009. Since then, the genre has evolved in unexpected ways. Spells of Genesis is our upcoming mobile game, which will integrate bitcoin and blockchain technology in its game economy as well as in its storyline. It’s targeted for release later this year. The game launch is preceded by the BitCrystals Token Sale, a crowdfund which will allow us to raise funds necessary to the full game development. The BitCrystal Token Sale will start on July 29th, 2015.
