Finally we were told, hey guys forget about it, bitcoin is not money and therefore subject to current payment regulation.You are not allowed to run bitcoin business under your payment company.This is how our story begins.We created a UK company, decided to quit boring payment services and started to focus on bitcoins only.After securing backing from a large IT company specializing in financial software, CoinMate drew first breath in early 2014.Even though CoinMate is just one year old, everyone involved are early Bitcoin adopters with a varied level of skills especially in payment services and compliance, making us uniquely qualified to enter this burgeoning space.ethereum implementationsI'm glad to be a part of this epic AMA session, thank you!.Please feel free to ask me any question.bitcoin etf review nyeko_12 Nickel Bitcoiner Posts: 45 Joined: Wed Sep 30, 2015 4:15 pm Re: I'm Daniel Houška, co-founder and CEO of European Bitcoin exchange CoinMate.io Hi Daniel!i Have a couple of questions that i want to ask you!What are your opinions regarding the Blocksize-issue(Especially after the Scaling bitcoin event)?uva bitcoin

I believe in Moore's lawWe all want to scale bitcoin and we all want see bitcoin as an alternative to VISA MC payments.You can't do it without increasing blocks now.BIP 101 gives you much more predictable behavior.I am fan of Segregated Witness - great concept.I have not studied lightning so far to be hones it is still long way to go.Holding BitcoinsYes I do hold some bitcoins and I am long term investors rather than trader .AltcoinsI do not see any significant advantage over bitcoins.buying bitcoin poloniexI am focused on Bitcoins.ethereum mining linuxEthereum is too complex and time will tell.Withdrawals:We do not plan to implement PayPal withdrawals nor NPS.We need to stick with payment methods we trust and PayPal is not currently on the list.Daniel.H AMA Posts: 5 Joined: Mon Dec 14, 2015 12:14 am Re: I'm Daniel Houška, co-founder and CEO of European Bitcoin exchange CoinMate.io Hi Daniel, thanks for doing this AMA!

Do you feel the exchange market is overly saturated?Thanks.Hi BitcoinXio, UK regulation has been the most proactive so far, they declared Exchanges are excempt of VAT long before the European Court of Justice decided in October this year.It seems that operation from UK pays off.Banking relationship:Because we’ve been in the financial regulation and compliance industry for 8 years, we were able to build good relationship with our banks.Our partners know what Coinmate is doing.We keep all client's money separate from our operation accounts.We never borrow client funds for operations and have a good historical backround and strict Anti Money laundering internal policies.We are currently working with European private bank on direct Bitcoin integration to their internet banking.petitionIndustry is very competitive.It is almost impossible now to start a brand new exchange without prioror experience in payment industry and compliance.You need to have quite a lot of capital in the backround too in order to be able to keep your financing healty.

I think Coinmate will proove its quality and gain more popularity in the feature.I think we are on a good way.Thank you for your questions.D.Windowly Junior Mod Posts: 265 Joined: Sat Nov 21, 2015 7:46 am Re: I'm Daniel Houška, co-founder and CEO of European Bitcoin exchange CoinMate.io Daniel.H AMA Posts: 5 Joined: Mon Dec 14, 2015 12:14 am Re: I'm Daniel Houška, co-founder and CEO of European Bitcoin exchange CoinMate.io Hello, we do not publish 24 hour volume on website at the moment, but you can get it via our APIhttps://coinmate.io/api/ticker?currencyPair=BTC_EURAPI documentation (TICKER)http://docs.coinmate.apiary.io/#referen ... ticker/get Skin_in_the_game Nickel Bitcoiner Posts: 54 Joined: Thu Nov 19, 2015 6:51 pm Re: I'm Daniel Houška, co-founder and CEO of European Bitcoin exchange CoinMate.io Hello DanielI was re-reading by iconoclast thinker Nassim Taleb recently.He writes I have come to think it's a very relevant question and you can better weight people's opinions having an idea of how many Bitcoins they hold (or do not hold.)

So Instead of asking their opinion on bitcoin, I'm now asking every participants the same question:- Do you mind to tell us which percentage of your personal net worth and/or liquid assets you hold in Bitcoins ?Daniel.H AMA Posts: 5 Joined: Mon Dec 14, 2015 12:14 am Re: I'm Daniel Houška, co-founder and CEO of European Bitcoin exchange CoinMate.io onyeze Posts: 1 Joined: Mon Aug 22, 2016 4:40 pm Re: I'm Daniel Houška, co-founder and CEO of European Bitcoin exchange CoinMate.io CIbe Posts: 1 Joined: Wed Sep 28, 2016 12:25 am Re: I'm Daniel Houška, co-founder and CEO of European Bitcoin exchange CoinMate.io aikfrank Posts: 2 Joined: Thu Jun 15, 2017 12:20 pm Re: I'm Daniel Houška, co-founder and CEO of European Bitcoin exchange CoinMate.io Will you rather take up this project and be a Co-Funder?project-development/peer-to-peer-trading-visa-virtual-cards-gift-cards-t28948.html Return to “AMA - Ask Me Anything” Who is online Users browsing this forum: No registered users and 2 guests
