ardeva is no longer a canadian company, has been bought by btcpop and is a fully registered english company now.
they are not a scam hub, as you claim, i have been registered there for over a year, and never an issue.
there was recently a lot of pop members registered, due to moving out of btcjam and their staff have been backlogged, so there may be some issues, but emails should be working again.

Fed Up of ARDEVA

They are a scam/documents/laundering/hub.

Tried on many occasions to attempt to verify my documents, but they keep asking over and over for clearer copies (apparently a picture from a iPhone 6+ isn't high enough quality)

AVOID with all caution as it just seems to be a document harvesting expedition.

Alex

Sorry to resurrect a very old post, but after sending my verification documents to Ardeva last week. The website is giving me a : "Error code 16
This request was blocked by the security rules" and denying me access. just showing a spash screen hosted by some company called incapsula.

https://www.incapsula.com/why-am-i-seeing-this-page.html?src=23&utm_source=blockingpages

I was going to start a new topic but I thought it would be better to keep all the info about them in one place.

Just concerns me that after sending all the info off that suddenly it looks like I am blocked from accessing their servers :/

Hi Scottbit, Fred here from Ardeva.

Ardeva is a registered Canadian company located in Laval, Quebec, Canada.

Once we approve documents you send us, they are encrypted directly by our system with a public key, while the private key is stored on a few USB drives at safe locations. Once a week, we move all encrypted files from the server to external offline storage as an extra layer of security. We basically parse the required informations from your documents, save them in our database, and then encrypt the files. We don't use your ID/documents for anything except for legal purposes (i.e. you run away with somebody's BTC).

I hope that answered your concerns, and I invite you to contact us at [email protected] if you have any questions about our service.

Regards,
Frederic Houle
Ardeva Founder

But you do store someone's complete identity information. Bitcoin was supposed to be anonymous. But then again catching scammers wont be possible, oh wait.. I totally forgot, scammers use their own identities online !! They would never steal someone's identity to scam someone else, oh no.
Yes that makes so much sense.

you are such a dumb shit, read where did I say that it was ardeva? I said WTF Ardeva, is not enough to take me to court, This is why I said before I make a 100% accusation Ill speak to a lawyer first. I said there are two that have my info, my bank and Ardeva, so I will again speak with a lawyer and make a couple of calls, They cant sue me on just this. Ask a lawyer, or go back to law school.

You are just an average internet John Doe: troll, ignorant and impolite.

Trolling?

? I got a score report someone and some had used my ID info to get a debit card, I am speaking with credit agency and and a lawyer now to be protected. you want me to post my info on here for you all to see??? This is right now the only place besides my bank and other trusted sources have my info. I dont know how I can prove it was them but still I doubt my bank leaked out my info and Ardeva is the only one online that has my info.

I am not asking anything out of you, nor I do want any part in this. You just made an accusation without proof, ask your lawyer if that is legal and hope that Ardeva doesn't sue you for damages due to online defamation into the most populated BitCoin community.

Have a nice day.

Having discussed this matter in great depth with Frederic, Ardeva's founder, prior to our partnership, I would challenge anyone to successfully verify an Ardeva account using fake documentation and list a project on Coinsortium.

Interesting proposition. What will be my reward, how would you guarantee that you wouldn't welsh on it, and is there a time limit for this offer?

I am also interested in this...

lamby I can get you a check lol

Our document verification procedures are more in depth then easily being able to photoshop an ID. We request 3 photos be uploaded.
1. The user must upload the front of ID
2. The user must upload the Back of ID
3. The user must upload a picture of them holding up the ID next to their face ALONG with a 4 digit UNIQUE number that is generated just for their particular verification.
We check the ID for verifiable security features that can be seen. Documents are then encrypted and sent to offline storage.

@RiverBoatBTC: Coinsortium's user verification process is managed in its entirety by a 3rd party company (Ardeva).

Ardeva's purpose is to be a central verification tool mitigating the requirement for users to submit their documents to multiple website owners. I for one grow tiered of having to submit my personal details to numerous websites.

When users register with Ardeva they are able to verify certain "modules" (Home Address, Income, Postal, Government ID etc) all of which helps build an Ardeva score. We then allow these users to link their Ardeva account with their Coinsortium account (just as you can on many sites with your Facebook, Twitter or Google social accounts). Should the user have certain Ardeva "modules" verified, they are granted additional access on Coinsortium to list projects etc.

Having discussed this matter in great depth with Frederic, Ardeva's founder, prior to our partnership, I would challenge anyone to successfully verify an Ardeva account using fake documentation and list a project on Coinsortium.
