is it correct that the bitcoin withdrawal fee is still 0.001 ?

if so, why has this not been updated to 0.0001?

Does this affect the online wallets of virtex as well?
Kind of curious since it is in the news bulletin and not sure how it works with company based wallets

Last night our development team patched our systems to protect against Heartbleed.

We have been following developments related to this bug very closely.

Hi, without compromising your security protocols, can you elaborate on what steps were taken to patch your systems and why you are still using an SSL Server Certificate Issued On: 29/05/2013?  Your Canadian competitor VoS renewed theirs a couple of days ago. 

Here is a statement from our lead developer:

CAVirtEx has been following the heartbleed vulnerability closely. Our systems were patched on April 7th, the day the vulnerability was publicly announced. Our new SSL cert was installed early today to ensure future communication remain secure.

Due to the nature of the vulnerability and like most services that were using OpenSSL, secrets such as passwords may have been exposed. While it's unlikely anything has been leaked, customers should consider changing their passwords and clearing browser cookies to reissue browser verification.

Great.  Thank you for the update. 

Have you guys considered adding 2FA before approving withdrawal requests (in addition to the existing 2FA for login)?  I think this would give comfort to a lot of your customers. 

Yes, we discussed this recently. I will be sure to bring it up again.

CaVirtex CEO Joseph David appearing before the Canadian Senate Banking, Trade and Commerce Committee. View live video: http://senparlvu.parl.gc.ca/admanager/asxgen.asx?url=S009-V-EN-VL

I missed most of this, are we going to be able to watch a recording afterwards?

Yes, I believe the Senate will post a complete video of the meeting. I will post a link to the video once it becomes available (perhaps tomorrow).

Well those last 20 min were awfully embarrassing.... for the senators. Was the whole thing that painful?

Otherwise Joseph did well. Glad to see he's been working on speaking more slowly lately haha.

Ya, most of the Senators were struggling a little. One of the takeaways: Explaining Bitcoin to baby boomers can be challening.

Does anyone know if Cavirtex was affected by the bleeding heart SSL vulnerability?

This vulnerability also shows that Cavirtex should consider adding 2FA in order to withdraw (as a highjacked session would still be unable to withdraw without the Google Authenticator OTP).  

Im not sure you guys realise just how widespread this vulnerability was.........

Think just about every server on the Internet to start with.  The only ones dodging it were ones more than two years behind on their updates.

So guys if you use a site anywhere in a secure way it was probably vulnerable.  once they fix it server side (and you fix it on your local systems) update your passwords.

Good advice best to be secure and cautious with passwords and was still getting information on the exploit
I answered my question tested it out with the heartbleed test
http://filippo.io/Heartbleed/#www.cavirtex.com

All good, www.cavirtex.com seems not affected!

I think its great you guys issue debit cards, this is an important step i believe to making it easy for the average joe to use bitcoin. How feasable would it be to implement a system where the debit card is linkied to an account demoninated in BTC, and when you purchase something at a POS terminal it would sell BTC at what ever price the market will bear untill enough fiat has been raised to cover the purchase? I think this would be a huge step forward in bringing btc into the mainstream.

Also @ BOB, as someone who works for one of the big 5 banks I can tell you that having at home agents is not unsual even for the largest of the large banks. Ideally, their systems keep track of which agents access and modify which client records, so if an agent were to "go rouge" it would be easy to discover and punish whomever is responsible.

Can somebody please provide an update on this? When can we expect update and financials?

http://blog.cavirtex.com/page/5

Joseph David: "I do intend on paying a dividend once the company shows sustained growth and profitability, and will be providing the next dividend update as well as financials by Q1 2014."

Are you going to be going to the Expo next week on Toronto?

If so, this would be a great place to ask Joseph about a dividend update and financials.

I will also be discussing these with him and update this thread after the Expo.

Yes, I'll see you guys there. Thank you.
