This is great idea. When will the bug bounty program end?

We keep updating our app and API over time so it will be ongoing. Thanks for asking.

AlphaPoint Integrates Clef

19 May 2015

AlphaPoint, the leading technology backend for Bitcoin exchanges, announced today that they will support Clef for any of their exchanges.
Bitcoin exchanges are at the very heart of the ecosystem, and AlphaPoint powers many of them, including Bitfinex, the largest exchange in the US.

Security is critical for exchanges, who see large amounts of traffic and huge volumes of money pass through their system every day.
Two-factor authentication is offered by some, but the extra security that Clef offers is a major differentiator for high-value sites.
In addition, opt-in rates for traditional two-factor auth are under 15%, while Clef sees more than 50% of users choose our passwordless logins.

We have been focused on serving the Bitcoin community and the integration with AlphaPoint goes a long way to helping us protect more cryptocurrency sites.
Individual exchanges will still need to enable Clef to get the protection of this integration, but several exchanges have already announced that they’ll be enabling
Clef immediately, including MeXBT, FlowBTC, and Bitt.

Stay tuned for more Bitcoin announcements coming in the next few weeks!

I was hoping to see a service based on a similar concept sooner or later. This seems like a nice execution of it. Putting this topic on my watchlist.

BitQuick Adds Clef Support.

Today we have another exciting Bitcoin integration of Clef to announce! BitQuick, the fastest way to buy and sell Bitcoins, has added Clef protection to their accounts. BitQuick has rapidly grown their volume by circumventing some of the traditional requirements for buying Bitcoin and making the process take hours instead of days. In an industry where every millisecond is tracked to help increase sales, speed is a huge asset both for the company and for the entire Bitcoin ecosystem.

“Everyone in the ecosystem is talking about friction, and how we can reduce the friction in using Bitcoin,” said Brennen Byrne, CEO of Clef. “But the first Bitcoin purchase is still unforgivably slow on most systems. That’s why we’re so excited to see BitQuick solving the Bitcoin purchase problem. To get more people owning and spending Bitcoin is the key, and I know that Clef users are going to love BitQuick."

“For us, Clef is more than just an evolved two-factor solution,” said Jad Mubaslat, CEO of BitQuick. “We’re excited about using Clef to replace confusing passwords altogether. This improves both the experience and security habits of our users.”
