What is the ETA on 2fa support? Just seems kinda dumb to me that I can login to my btc.sx account with 2fa but to login to my magnr account with the same password no 2fa is required

edit: also I have to ask what the logic is behind limiting interest to 10btc. Just anyone can create a second account with minimal effort needed.

Yes. As stated for the third time, the interest comes from the trading fees Cheesy

Well, it's not explicitly stated in the OP that you use trading fees, just that the interest rate differs based on the activity of your exchange, so I kinda get the confusion. It is explicitly stated on your website, but not everything reads that.

Anyway, this seems pretty cool and I might give it a shot.

Hi its Joe here, founder of BTC.sx.

Our intention is to make this as transparent as possible. On-blockchain calculations for deposit and interest calculations are part of the way we are doing this.

By offering this service our goal is to build more reputable financial services for Bitcoin. My hope is that this is just the beginning of a much wider movement.

So you use the coins to trade and the profit from that pays the interest? Sounds like a bad idea if true.

If I had to guess, I would guess that they use a portion of the fees, generated by the exchange, as interest.

And you guys aren't the first savings service, there's already HaoBTC. How are you any different, and from where do you get the income to pay for the interest?

As explained above, the interest comes from the trading platform. We differ from HaoBTC in that we provide 100% reserves, operate with no hot wallets and are UK-based.

Keeping your bitcoin safe is our top priority

We Have a Proven Track Record.
Our bitcoin trading platform, BTC.sx, is trusted by thousands
of traders and has brokered over $50 million in trading volume.

Magnr savings accounts are not just an innovation for Bitcoin. Our savings accounts are among the few worldwide to operate with full transparency.

Traditional banks operate with a fractional reserve. This is where a bank lends out more money in loans than it receives in deposits. Although this lets banks make higher profits, their savers risk not being able to withdraw their deposit.

100% RESERVES
All deposits are held in highly liquid assets. This means that for every one bitcoin that is deposited, we have at least one bitcoin available to be withdrawn.

HUMAN AUDITS
All withdrawals are overseen by a Magnr engineer to verify their authenticity. Any suspicious requests are investigated before approval.

MULTI SIG STORAGE
Your savings account is not protected by just one password. It is protected by three passwords and a hierarchical wallet structure.
