Simple idea.  Prove you have X (hopefully X > 1000) bitcoins available under your control that are not customer coins.  Keep those coins in 'cold storage'.  Have an operating corporate charter and presence in a country that is not designed to hide responsibility and identity.  This still insulates you in case of most accidental liability but allows the community to know you have some investment and who you really are.

A very interesting thing.
What would happen, if the bitcoins would going lost?
Then the flexcoin would be a virtual currency like fiat money.

Exists an answer to this question? (If yes then sorry I didn´t read the whole thread before)

will you be making a app for flex coin?


It's mobile tested,  with QR support,  bookmarks on iOS devices will render a flexcoin icon.   It is a webapp... just not a downloadable app.

You guys should add it so that lets say I have 2.3 bitcoin I want to withdraw them I withdraw 2.3 not enough funds fff so whats the fee I can't find it you need to post when withdrawing how much you can withdraw so you don't have to keep guessing what the fee will be.

I agree - i couldnt figure out why i couldnt withdraw, then i realized that i didnt include the fee, now i have something like 0.000043 BTC in my account.

When do people receive the "discount"? Is it at a fixed day every month? I couldn't find it in the FAQ.

Had to go searching for it...but i answered my own question, and i will probably go back to Mt.Gox because of it...

7. Bitcoins deposited with Flexcoin will not be available for transfer until 15 confirmations have accrued on the bitcoin network.

ok I'll answer this one:

1 - are we shooting ourselves in the foot if everyone uses Flexcoin Id's ?

Short answer No,  because it's inconceivable at this time or anytime for years to come that "everyone" would be using flexcoin ID's .. 

granted our market penetration is growing at an exponential rate, it has reached the point where VC's have been calling us and we're surprised that none of the exchanges have requested to partner with us in light of the bitcoin.com project by Tradehill.   Mt.gox, Campbx and others have one sitting right here and are not using it,  hence leaving them without a valid product.

We do hope that one day many will adopt the flexcoin ID system, but until that time it's a long uphill battle that most likely will be measured in years.

I hope this helps.

Another question:  If Flexcoin takes off and there are less and less transaction fees floating around, isn't that shooting yourself in the foot?  If miners are going to be making a larger part of their income from transaction fees in the future, doesn't flexcoins model hurt that?

Totally unimportant.  Flexcoin isn't a mining service, and all senders are constantly trying to reduce their fees.

+1 very interesting question...

There will always be transactions outside of Flexoin, otherwise it would be a decentralized currency. There are a lot of services that allow user to user transfers without using the blockchain: Instawallet, Tradehill, CampBX, etc. It is a natural feature for an online wallet to have.

BTW, please consider the example of E-gold, with regards to FlexCoin's regulatory posture.

In broad strokes, E-gold obtained legal counsel that said they did not have to register as an MSB or file CTRs and SARs, because their gold-backed virtual currency was not "money." 

The US federal government -- and common sense -- disagreed, once substantial amounts of value were being transferred overseas using E-gold.

Precedent has shown that the US government wants to track the movement of "funds" all over the world; be proactive about compliance and use common sense: bitcoins are money for all practical purposes.

And yes, I read your Terms of Service in its entirety.


I had signed up for Flexcoin, read this, then disregarded my account.
